Does USC play anybody tough later this season?

I'm no expert on the BCS rankings, but I've heard Ohio State might have a decent chance of overtaking USC via strenth of schedule (they should, the Big !0 is much tougher than the Pac 10 this year).

If LSU loses & the Buckeyes win out, then tOSU will move up in the polls and the extra points from that will most likely push them past USC in the BCS standings.

Ya, but the Buckeyes haven't seen a defense anything like the Sooners. Last year at least the Buckeyes hada running game. This year, the running game has finally been seen but that was against teams with not so good defenses.

FWIW the Buckeyes have faced teams with much better defenses than anyone Oklahoma has come up against.

'Bama was by far the best D the Sooners have faced & even though they are struggling it was a very close game.

FSU is so overated, and any loss for Florida football is a good thing, in my book.

You can say that again! And again!

Allow me to say.....HOW ABOUT THEM VOLS!

Miami. Psssht.

While I can't stand the Vols (can't forgive the Tennecleats scandal) or any team in the SEC for that matter, they played a nice game against the 'Canes.

BTW how is the player who was injured in the Winslow incident doing?

FSU was overrated, yes. I'm pretty sure they fell enough places that they aren't anymore, though. I wouldn't crow too much about the Florida teams all losing to an unranked team, though, because pretty much everyone else but Oklahoma has done that as well.

I think this whole conference-shuffling thing, obviously being done purely for monetary reasons, is silly. I think ALL money going into Div Ia should be divided equally between its teams, then they might be properly selective about who they choose, and the playing field would be level enough to make a playoff feasible. Since that involves taking money from conference bureaucracies and powerful colleges, though, this will happen about the same time the U.S. Congress votes themselves an actual decrease in power.

He must be doing ok, as I can't find anything on the 'Net anywhere.

BTW, I did see where KW jr. apologized for his post-game comments to the press.

I find it very hard to root for my Alma Mater, because San Jose State just sucks. So I've adopted my home team. Go Boise State! (Who, btw, crushed San Jose State a couple weeks ago.)

I know, Boise is just a measley WAC team, but last year they ended 12th in the nation, and they're back in the top 25 again this week!

On a national level, it's going to be fun to watch. Especially if either USC or Oklahoma manages to lose a game. But they shouldn't.

I agree with the one who said a Washington State/Ohio State Rose Bowl would be great. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for that one.

If WSU wins out, then a #2 USC probably stays ahead of a #3 Ohio State because of the 'quality win' points. Losing to Ohio State probably knocks Purdue out of the top 15, and Michigan to the 10-15 range, so they get very little there. Meanwhile, WSU probably slips into the 'top-ranked 2-loss team' slot.

Well, even as an Alabama fan, I have to say, 'great game, go Vols'. Thanks for further humbling Miami. Well done, you played up to your potential.

Of course, I have to also temper that comment by saying 'Nothing sucks like a Big Orange' ;^)
