While you are making out your top 10 lists, don't overlook ND.

There seems to be a love affair with Chuck W right now and they accidentally beat UM (and trounced Pitt). Their remaining schedule can't be too tough with the exception of USC, can it?

Exactly, the media love-fest had already started right after the scUM game ended. All I heard was something like "the only team that might be able to beat them now is USC" or similar garbage as that.
they play Tennessee and USC at home (should lose both), and play at Purdue. Don't be surprised to see ND in the top ten on Monday. Don't think they'll stay there very long, though.
Texas would have beaten scUM by 30+ points yesterday. We all know now how bad Pitt really is, so I'm still waiting to see ND play a team in top form.

As usual CFN does a great, unbiased job. I can't argue with any of those rankings but alas I just know the coaches and writers will make some flat out stupid choices.

We played dead-even with the consensus #2 team in the country, and actually should've won (we made more mistakes than Texas did, so props to Texas), so I can't see us dropping very far. In fact, because we did play them evenly, you could argue that we deserve to stay at #4, but we know that won't happen...

You've got to figure...

Ohio State: We should win out, if Tressel can decide on a QB.
USC: They have to lose sometime. @ Cal, Notre Dame and Arizona St. 2 of the 3 maybe? Hopefully, it is Cal and Arizona St.
Texas: Wins out. period.
LSU: When do they play at home? You have to figure all these road games, in the SEC nonetheless, will catch up to them eventually.
Georgia: They always lose to FL
VA Tech: they get GA tech soon, plus a tough stretch of BC, Miami and @Virginia
Tennessee: first road test, after a bye, in the Swamp? FL gets this one.
Notre Dame: Let's hope they drop the Tenn and USC games, plus one more. The Notre Dame clause in the BCS states: if they win 10 they get a BCS game. 10-2 even if they are #15? That's not right.
Florda: They look good, I'm not gonna lie, but they play @Alabama, supposedly @LSU, @ So. Carolina (you know Spurrier wants this one) and @Florida St. I don't see them going undefeated.

You just got to think the SEC beat up on each other.

After all that, dare I say a Ohio St rematch of Texas in the Rose Bowl?

Pretty sure that ND clause gives them a BCS spot with 9 wins.:(

Before you all start giving fellatio to Notre Dame, keep in mind that they were the media darling with a new head coach in 2002, winning their first eight games, especially after trouncing FSU at FSU in the eighth game. Then they got upset at home by BC, and got destroyed by USC in the regular season finale and pounded by NCSU in the bowl game...they ended up #17 in both polls. I can see the same thing happening to them this year.

Well technically Notre Dame is a chick so fellatio isn't as negative a thing as you make it out to be...cept maybe for Thump and Brett.:wink2:

I believe that Fl. is home to FSU this year, other than that hopefully your scenario works out.

I don't think a 1 loss texas team will be ranked below Ohio State.

I agree. As much as I think we were the better team last night, if two teams each have 1 loss and they played head-to-head, you gotta give the nod to the winner.

CFN's got us as #5

Their instant analysis was actually pretty rational, and they're not downgrading us, saying that it was a game between two evenly matched teams... just that Texas was a bit more even when it counted.

Their analysis actually seemed to give us a lot of credit, which I think we deserved. However, I'm not sure I entirely agree that Texas "being a little bit better," as they said. I honestly think we were the better team last night, and the QB carousel was much to blame both for our inability to have any red zone production and to move the ball generally.
