BCS predictions/discussion/Knock Em' Off

An Oregon loss is huge for OSU regardless of who goes to the NC.

I am very concerned that the team has not put the Illinois loss behind them. An Oregon loss in advance of that game makes the dream very real once again. All their original goals go back on the table.

Ball game. 1 down, 4 to go, with two of them certain. If WVU loses this weekend, and we take care of business, all we will need is a LSU loss, which is certainly in the realm of possibility. College football is the greatest sport known to mankind.

GO BUCKS!

I put this in the Oregon-Arizona thread:

Tonight's game was Step 1 of 5 needed for tOSU to get to New Orleans:

1. Oregon goes down.
2. tOSU takes care of TSUN

3 of these 4 things:
3. LSU goes down to either Ole Miss, Arkansas, or in the CCG
4. W. Virginia loses either at Cincy, or hosting UConn or Pitt
5. Arizona State loses to USC or Arizona (they could jump tOSU by winning out)
6. The Big 12 Champ gets a loss before the CCG:
---A (Oklahoma loses to TTech, but wins the CCG), or
---B (Mizzou loses to K. St, but then beats Kansas and Okla). or
---C (Kansas loses at home to Iowa St., but beats Mizzou and Okla)

Week 1 teams to cheer for:

Thursday Night:

U of Oregon @ The University of Arizona (+13)

U of A needs 2 wins to become bowl eligible and possibly save Mike Stoop's job. Last game beat UCLA at home by 7 making it back to back wins for the Cats. Lost to USC 20-13 earlier. QB Willie Tuitama has thrown for 3,145 yards so far (1st PAC 10, 8th NCAA). Our good friend Louis "Big Foot" Holmes on D.


Saturday:


West Virgina @ U of Cincinnati (+6 1/2)

UC comes in at 8-2 off of back to back wins vs South Florida and UConn. They still have a chance to win the Big East and head to a BCS game. A good run defense will present Slaton and Devine a challange.


Oklahoma @ Texas Tech (+9)

Here is a team that has dropped off the radar just about harder than anyone else. They have lost 3 out of their last 4. They're 4-1 at home, 7-4 overall and averaging well over 40 ppg. QB Graham Harrell is a tad outside of 5,000 yards passing this year. Expect a shoot out in Lubbock.

Iowa State (+25 1/2) @ U of Kansas

If you just take a look at their last 4 games you'll see a completly different team than their 3-8 record shows. They put Oklahoma's back to the wall losing 17-7, then played at Missouri tough losing 42-28...last week they beat Kansas State 31-20... then this past weekend down 21-0 at half, they storm back to win 31-28 vs. Colorado.

L.SU. @ Ole Mississippi (+18)

Even though they are 3-8, they ...ok there's not much great to say about them. I think I'll bet big on LSU this weekend. I don't think even if Eli came back they'd have a shot. (please jinx please jinx)

Missouri @ Kansas State (+8)

At 5-5 they'e one game off from being bowl eligible. A very wishy washy team. Who will show up? The team that went into Austin and beat Texas by 20. Or the one that lost to Nebraska last week 73-31, They have the ability to put points on the board. At home they are 4-1 this year, the loss 30-24 to Kansas. Jordy Nelson leads them with 1,347 yards recieving ant 9 td's.


ONE DOWN...

We need WVU and LSU to lose. The B12 teams will eliminate themselves. ASU still has USC. We do have a shot. If Cincy knocks off WVU and LSU gets beat by ARK we are gonna make the NC game.


Don't forget that LSU still has the SEC Championship game, and WVU has to play a solid UConn team.

Oklahoma Will Probably Have To Lose Before The Big 12 Title Game Though And Then Win The Big 12 Title Game (Unless Missouri Or Kansas Lose Before They Meet And The Team That Lost Wins Their Game, Then That Team Beats OU In The Big 12 Title Game)

Im Confusing Myself
