If you are rooting for USC do you really want to see another all SEC championship? I will laugh so hard if ND loses and even harder if the universe somehow aligns itself so that the NCG is all-SEC again. Talk about wasted opportunity. This year was the best chance in 5 years to not have a single SEC team in the NCG and they blew it.

Here's some trends going into the 2nd to final week of college football: Georgia 9-1 last 10 vs Georgia Tech. Georgia 3-0 last 3. Oregon 9-1 last 10 vs Oregon St. Oregon 3-0 last 3. Auburn 7-3 last 10 vs Bama (Like this trend is really going to hold up.) Bama 2-1 last 3. Florida 6-4 last 10 vs Florida St. FSU 2-1 last 3. UCLA 6-4 last 10 vs Stanford. Stanford 3-0 last 3. Clemson 6-4 last 10 vs South Carolina. South Carolina 3-0 last 3. USC 9-1 last 10 vs Notre Dame. USC 2-1 last 3.

Auburn 7-3 last 10 vs Bama (Like this trend is really going to hold up.) Bama 2-1 last 3. Auburn gave Bama a run for it's money in 2009 when Bama was supposed to crush them. But I don't see it happening this year. Auburn is just in so much turmoil right now and Bama is back from the dead. They're not going to let this one get away. 2008: Bama wins something like 33-0 , Tuberville gets fired. I expect exact scenario to follow this year. Bama wins by 30+, Chizik gets fired.
Florida 6-4 last 10 vs Florida St. FSU 2-1 last 3. Last year's Florida vs Florida State was a MAJOR MAJOR rofl.
UCLA 6-4 last 10 vs Stanford. Stanford 3-0 last 3. This one should be interesting. If Stanford wins, they just play again next week.
USC 9-1 last 10 vs Notre Dame. USC 2-1 last 3. I hoped USC would be a top-3 caliber team this year. Sadly, they are who their record says they are: a middle tier pac-12 team. I want to see Kiffin's face when it slowly dawns on him that Trojans are 7-5.

So because of Penn State and Ohio State's probations, Wisconsin was pretty much guaranteed a spot in the Big Ten title game before the season even started, because let's face it, Purdue and Illinois suck and even high school teams could beat Indiana.
So let's hope that Penn State beats Wisconsin and then Nebraska chokes big time in Indianapolis so we can see 8-5 Wisconsin go to the Rose Bowl. It'd be like that one year that Florida State was 8-4 and went to the Orange Bowl, except even better.

Nebraska has had the luckiest season ever in order to get to the championship game ;\. Seriously, from the rotten calls against MSU and PSU, to Denard getting hurt and Michigan having the worst quarterback I have ever seen on a college football field under center. He was worse than Nick Sheridan which is beyond sad. I think I couldve gone out there and completed 2 screens.
Only scoring 13 against Iowa? Wtf -_-

WSU wins 31-28 vs UW. A good note on the end of our terrible season. Gives me a little hope for next year at least.

It would be kinda cool if Nebraska won out, because then Michigan's BCS resume would be really good. Their only losses being to #1, #2, and a probable top 10 team.
Though I think you have to be in the top 12 or 14 to even get an at-large BCS bid, so they'd probably need a pretty convincing win against Ohio State to climb that much.
Edit: I really hope MSU can win. I'm gonna cry if we lose to Minnesota, and even if we do win, we're just gonna go to the Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl or something

I had stopped watching for a bit when it blew up to 28-10. After a brief commute home, I come to find that the score is suddenly 28-25. Then I watched as the Cougs tied things up. Washington drove down the field in no time, and went for a slam-dunk field goal. No good! And then in overtime, Price makes the DUMBEST throw you'll ever see: as he's getting sacked he lobs the ball in the air: interception. He doesn't chuck it out of bounds, he fucking lobs it about 4 yards, hanging in the air for what seemed an eternity. Instead of protecting the ball and living to play for another down, he completely panics and does something completely illogical, something they explicitly tell you not to do since childhood.
I just knew Washington would find a way to stagnate another year. Blowout losses, odd upsets, and then boom: succumbing to the worst team in the Pac-10... and your rival... Blowing a 18 point lead! Missing a field goal at the end of regulation! Throwing up a brain-dead lob when you could have taken the goddamn sack! Seven wins, again. Woohoo.

ND is getting no respect on betting sites, 5 point favorite against unranked Trojans, who will be playing with a freshman QB playing his first game.

Somehow we're only 14.5 point underdogs. I guess they are giving us the benefit of the doubt in a rivalry game. THWG! Upset time to end the national championship dreams

ND was a 2 TD underdog vs. OU. Im not saying ND wont lose, but sometimes the lines are more to get action than what is real.

I'm not an ND fan whatsoever, but I think USC is going to get cornholed. The whole season has me bitter. I'm unconvinced with ND, but what can you do when everyone else lost? Alabama looks like they will get in, which seems absurd in the sense that there are so many good 1-loss teams right now. On the other hand, if Georgia win the SECCG, they'll hop EVERYBODY (we all know it!), which bothers me because they dodged the better SEC teams this season and got blown out by SC. Oregon will be penalized for an overtime loss to a great team, but K-State scheduled nobody and lost to an unranked team. But even still K-State is an outstanding team. It's almost like if we had some system... involving a series of games between the best teams... single elimination... a tournament of sorts! We'll call it: the playoffs! It seems much better than to arbitrarily compare resumes of teams in different conferences with different opponents and different natures of their losses.
Oh, and of course if ND loses somehow, all hell breaks loose... again.
Of course the main reason I'm sour is because Washington choked on sushi vs Wazzu! Oh, I mentioned that in my last post? I don't care. I'm very, very, very unhappy.

I hope ND wins so we can get another month of the national media sucking up to them and then watch Alabama pound them flatter than a pancake. ND isn't even a top 5 team. Top 10 yes, top 5 no, number 1 no way.

If they make it to the NCG, whoever they may face (ND, Bama, Florida, Georgia) it will be a top 20 defense (as of right now). I wouldn't want to see that game. Btw, playoff is coming, just not yet.

Their defenses are on par with eachother, I give bama the slight edge on offense.

That's why there is so much outcry every year and they're introducing playoff.

They're just a good team. Not even a great team. The hype oh the hype. SEC propaganda would never end until ESPN and the BCS partnership ends. Want proof that ESPN does make a difference? Check out Auburn 2005 (Pre-ESPN-BCS partnership). They were undefeated in the SEC. And they didn't even make the NCG. You think that would ever happen again? It's sad that a one loss SEC team gets first dibs at a NCG over any other one loss team in a different conference. Like who died and made the SEC king of college football. Oh that's right ESPN + BCS. I don't mind Bama or Georgia in the top 5 but Florida? What the flying f..k? Too bad the computers don't have eyes to watch Florida games. It's sad that Ohio st. wins ugly games but gets beat down like a dog for it. But Florida does the same and everyone praises them. You want to put up an argument between Ohio St. and Florida? I'll just say Bowling Green , UL Lafayette and Missouri.

Oh the irony. If it's okay for you to say that about Oregon. Then i guess you're gonna have to swallow your own pill. And here it is. Alabama played 1 top 20 offense this year. Texas Am. They allowed 29pts and lost. So what's up? Come on Don_kyuhote, i'm waiting for you to respond something smart to this.
