I am curious if anyone thinks any teams this year will make it to the bowl games undefeated. I checked out the remaining schedules of the unbeaten teams and i just do not see it. I think this saturday one, possibly two will fall. And I am pretty sure by the postseason even ohio st. will have a loss. Last year things fell perfectly for the BCS and I think odds are very bad for that to happen two years in a row. You will then have all the coaches making there case for there team. It will be interesting.
West Virginia or Louisville make it undefeated. The only game in which each could lose is the game between the two, so one has to come out undefeated. Ohio State basically has Michigan to worry about. That depends on whether Mannigham gets healthy and is able to perform. But I wouldn't be surprised at all with a Michigan win. Florida has to go through the SEC which is a death trap. They'll lose somewhere along the line. And finally USC will probably lose to either Cal or Notre Dame. They've looked pretty bad during the last two games so I think the odds of them taking a loss are actually pretty decent. So yes, the one undefeated team could come from the big east. Man that's just weird as hell to imagine.
Not to jinx it... but there's a certain Big 12 team that's also undefeated... and their remaining schedule isn't all that daunting either. I'm not saying it's going to happen - I don't think it will - but it's possible they could run the table up until they play Texas in the Big XII championship...
Hell Auburn went undefeated in the toughest conference outside the NFL and still didnt get a shot! Thats just ridiculous. If that happens again someone better do something.
The WVU-Lou winner probably will be undefeated. Rutgers or Pitt could get in the way on their best day, but this is a safest bet where a conference winner is undefeated. The OSU-Mich winner probably will be undefeated, I'd say only slightly less of a chance than that above. Mich does have 2 weeks they could lose, at Penn State and home versus Iowa, both without Mario Manningham who has way opened up their offense by killing single coverage against him. If those teams can get an early TD (Michigan's D has been tough to get TDs on), they could win. OSU to me looks solid until the Michigan game. This week is MSU's last chance however, and they are at home, have looked decent at times (and aweful at others), so if MSU circles the wagons and plays their guts out this is OSU's only even small chance to lose prior to Mich. Michigan will be a load for them even at OSU though. Manningham will be back and Michigan has weapons and a stout D, Michigan could easily win that game by outphysicalling OSU. I don't see Florida or SC undefeated. Florida's schedule is too brutal and I don't think they are that much better than the other SEC teams. They still have at Aub, Georgia and at FSU (expect them to be playing better by then, especially at home), and then another SEC power. SC just isn't that good. They could have easily lost to WSU, Wash and Arizona (3-0 at half). They have very losable games with ASU, Oregon and at UCLA, and even at home (SC's home edge isn't big, kind of patsey crowds) I would not favor them over ND or Cal. As a Texas fan we need an upset or two (Pitt, Rutgers, Iowa, PSU likely candidates) plus others things rolling our way to get back into the picture. Doubtfull, but stranger things have happened.
I love ty willingham but he blew that, instead of complaining about that extra three seconds, ( he was right) he should have just gotten his line ready to take the snap. complain about those seconds after the game because it was highly unlikely he would have gotten them.
