Bored 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 Even in a year like this I don't think you can consider any two loss team a legit contender. Florida I would say was the only one with even the slimmest of chances going into this week and their bubble burst today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 Oops, didn't see that Washington lost to Arizona today. That basically kills Hawaii's chances. They can't play for the national championship if their best win is over a Pac-10 team with a losing record. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hogan Made Wrestling 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 If Michigan runs the table for the rest of the season, winning the Big 10, do they get blown out of the Rose Bowl again? That depends on who they play there. If it's Oregon then definitely, otherwise it's hard to say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOLD 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2007 If Michigan runs the table for the rest of the season, winning the Big 10, do they get blown out of the Rose Bowl again? Depends who wins the Pac 10 really. I think Arizona State and Oregon would slaughter them while both USC and Cal would win but I think the games would be more competitive. Hell, right now winning the Big Ten isn't much of an accomplishment this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheSSNintendo 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 And UVa's 7-game winning streak comes to an end against NC State. I don't have ESPNU, so I had to follow the game via the Yahoo scoreboard. Now they got three tough games left against Wake Forest, Miami, and Virginia Tech. I just hope they can at least win 2 more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 One thing to remember there is that if Oregon wins the Pac-Ten, there's a very good chance that they play for the national title. You might not even have a Pac-Ten team in the Rose Bowl this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 Actually, Cal's about even with USC. Both teams are still hanging onto a 1 or 2% chance, but are out for all practical purposes. South Carolina's hurt by Florida losing today too and may not have a realistic shot of climbing back either. Alabama's definitely out though behind all these teams. You don't lose to Florida State and come back to reach the title game. Couldn't you say the same about S Carolina and Vandy? Especially considering that loss was at home.

iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 The Vanderbilt game's obviously just a fluke loss on a letdown though. People will forget that. The Florida State game was the only big non-conference game Alabama played this year and if they're being compared against a one-loss BC team or something, they have no shot. Also, they don't have any big road games this year (they skip Florida and South Carolina and get LSU at home), so their schedule wouldn't be as impressive if they went 11-2.

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 For all the crowing about Oregon beating USC, people don't realize that this is THE year for the Ducks. They have a better shot at winning the national title than they did that year they had Joey Harrington. I'd probably put them over just about any team at this point, including LSU.

Bored 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 UCLA is doing what UCLA does best, playing like shit against teams they should beat as they are very close to losing to Washington State, down 20-7 with seven minutes to go. I tell you if they played LSU next week they would have a shot at winning but if they played FIU next week they would go down in flames. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iggymcfly 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 Yeah, South Carolina's definitely off the list now. Getting rolled by Tennessee tonight. I still think the Trojans have a shot if they win out though considering how many teams are losing. BTW, UCLA's laying another egg tonight, down 20-7 to WSU in the 4th quarter who's 0-4 in the Pac-Ten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 Yeah I would like the Trojans to sneak in, but I think Oregon poses the best matchup against LSU. I don't think that vaunted defense of LSU would stop Dixon and Stewart and Co. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, the last score I saw was 21-0 when I said that they were done. I'd certainly like them to get the win here though. South Carolina's my favorite SEC East team.

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted October 28, 2007 I can't believe anyone actually mentioned USC as a national title contender after losing today. Two losses and overall a really lame schedule? Oregon is the first decent team they've played all year. Oh, and this crap with UConn has flat out got to stop. This is a team that needed a screwjob call to beat fucking TEMPLE. And then cheated blatantly with a bogus fair catch to beat U of L last week. And now when I think they are finally just going to get their asses kicked, they flat out beat USF. Am I going to be reduced to cheering for Cincy to beat these lame fucks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oregon is the first decent team they've played all year. They have a weak schedule thus far. The reason they're an outside national title contender is that they still have road games vs. Cal and Arizona State and a home game with UCLA to close out the schedule. If they win all of those, and all the LSU/West Virginia type teams lose, I guarantee people will be banging the drum to get them in the title game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
