Rankings Breakdown

Print this up and carry it around everywhere you go until the end of the college football season as these are the top dogs' remaining schedules:

#1 USC
-------------------
Week 7: @ #13 Notre Dame
Week 11: @ #12 Cal
Week 14: #20 UCLA

*Very favorable that the Trojans fall in two of these games

#2 Texas
-------------------
Week 6: Oklahoma
Week 8: #16 Texas Tech
Week 9: @ Oklahoma State (outside shot of an upset)
Week 13: @ Texas A&M (again outside shot of upset)
Week 15: Big 12 Championship

*Not too bad for Texas, they still have to prove they can finally win against Oklahoma and Mack Brown has to prove he can even win a conference championship before he attempts the NC title.

#3 Virginia Tech
-------------------
Week 8: @ Maryland (outside shot of an upset)
Week 9: #21 Boston College
Week 10: #9 Miami
Week 12: @ #19 Virginia
Week 15: ACC Championship

*Pretty interesting road games to look out for, nothing too challenging, though.

#4 LSU
-------------------
Week 7: #5 Florida
Week 8: Auburn
Week 11: @ #15 Alabama
Week 15: SEC Championship

*Probably going to lose 2 of these, hopefully they can knock Florida out, though

#5 Florida
-------------------
Week 7: @ #4 LSU
Week 9: #7 Georgia
Week 11: @ South Carolina (interesting matchup against ex-Gators coach, Steve Spurrier)
Week 13: #6 Florida State
Week 15: SEC Championship

*Very tough schedule coming up. If Florida wins out, put 'em into the NC, however I don't see them getting out of those 6 games without two losses.

#6 Florida State
-------------------
Week 9: Maryland (outside shot of upset)
Week 10: N.C. State (outside shot of upset)
Week 11: @ Clemson (another outside shot of upset)
Week 13: @ #5 Florida
Week 15: ACC Championship

*Extremely weak stretch to the end of the season for Florida State, however, I expect them to fall to one of the listed possible upsets as well as Florida, because this is not one of Bobby Bowden's best teams ever...

#7 Georgia
-------------------
Week 6: @ #10 Tennessee
Week 9: @ #5 Florida
Week 11: Auburn
Week 13: @ #25 Georgia Tech
Week 15: SEC Championship

*If Georgia makes it through Tennessee and Florida, then pray that they lose the SEC Championship, otherwise hand them some roses.

#8 Ohio State
-------------------
Week 6: @ Penn State
Week 7: #11 Michigan State
Week 9: @ #18 Minnesota
Week 11: Northwestern (revenge against another decent Northwestern team)
Week 12: @ Michigan

*Pretty decent schedule left, however I gotta believe our stellar defense only improves as the season moves along. Penn State, Michigan State, and Michigan are the toughest opponents left, as Joe Paterno could get tricky on us at his place with his new weapons, Michigan State has the best offense in the Big Ten as Stanton will be a tough one to keep under wraps, and of course any trip to the Big House will be a tough one. Also, Minnesota's Maroney will learn first-hand how good our run defense is.

#9 Miami(FL)
-------------------
Week 8: #25 Georgia Tech
Week 9: North Carolina (stretch of an upset)
Week 10: @ #3 Virginia Tech
Week 13: #19 Virginia
Week 15: ACC Championship

*Some possible upsets could happen, but expect a loss from Virginia Tech at the very least, as again like Bowden, this is not one of Larry Coker’s best teams ever.

#10 Tennessee
-------------------
Week 6: #7 Georgia
Week 8: @ #15 Alabama
Week 9: South Carolina
Week 10: @ #13 Notre Dame
Week 15: SEC Championship

*Pretty tough schedule here, however as Buckeyes we need them to beat Georgia even if it means Tennessee jumping us in the polls for a few weeks.

-- Games in Bold are the ones to watch for this upcoming weekend.

Great post! I don't know if I would say it is favorable that USC loses 2 games, or even one. But besides Florida, they have the toughest schedule left. They don't have a conference championship, and neither does Ohio State, so that makes the schedules a little easier, but sometimes that can bite you, cuz a 1 loss team that wins it's conference championship can look a lot better than a one loss team that didn't play in one. Usually we play in one by default, cuz scUM is usually for the championship, but it may not be that way this year.

I like your post. I'll be rooting for the upsets. If tOSU can't get into the Rose Bowl, i'd at least like to see lots of BCS chaos. DOWN WITH THE SYSTEM!

Maybe you're watching a different USC team than I am. I haven't seen any big weaknesses in that team. I don't see how any of those teams are going to stop USC from scoring.

Defense will get better? That's a pretty bold statement. It's tough to improve on something that's been that good. Yeah, I know the '73 defense was better than any defense I've seen. But for a defense to get better than it is right now seems incredible to me.

Good thread, though. I'll check it out regularly to see who's playing who each week.

#2 Texas
-------------------
Week 6: Oklahoma
Week 8: #16 Texas Tech
Week 9: @ Oklahoma State (outside shot of an upset)
Week 13: @ Texas A&M (again outside shot of upset)
Week 15: Big 12 Championship

good post but this is flat out wrong, ok lite might lose to baylor this year, they are really bad. OU, Tech, and aggy are potential slip ups but okstate is just flat out a win.

That's what Louisville was thinking on Saturday...

But I have to agree. Okie lite is just in shambles right now. Vanderbilt would take them behind the wood shed if they played.

I think that a loss by Texas hurts OSU, and reduces us to "just another one-loss team" in the eyes of some. It's far better for both the Bucks and the Horns to run the table -- everyone will love the idea of a rematch of the game of the year.

Of course, in order for that to happen, USC has to completely collapse in a game at some point down the line, and both Texas and OSU need to flat out destroy people.

Good looking out, though. We're going to get help in quite a few of those games you listed.
