Steve, your not showing a lot of confidence in tous. Old but new qb for uw, and no one has been able to stop Miller this yr. What gives?

Why would a win by Bama in SECC possibly put them in MNC game, but there is no mention of that if Georgia wins. This sounds very Bama homerish to me. I guess I will stick to experts next time.

Steve, I can't believe you picked Iowa to score 23 points againt Michigan. They actually have a defense at Mich...er wait a second. Maybe not. Carry on :)

Fiesta would take A&M over Florida, who has never traveled well to bowl games.
My luck w/the Irish 18-6...GO IRISH!!!

Has the Big ten had a season in which it didn't win a bowl game? Is this going to be the year?

I think you do have a good point. I wasn't trying to favor one over the other. Georgia could definitely win the SEC title game. They'd still need 2 of the unbeatens to lose to get up there. (And you know that could happen with K-State/Texas and ND/USC.)
Wasn't trying to slight Georgia.

Yeah, I learned last week I have to watch what I predict Michigan to give up. I overestimated NW's output by 4 (LOL ... shame on me).

Not if Florida finishes 11-1 and in top 4 or whatever it would be. Plus Florida beat them head to head. Would not hold water.

I had them winning 37-32, not beating the spread. They won 31-24, not beating the spread. So I won that one. Right??

I have them winning the game. Wisconsin had 600 yards and 62 points last week, albeit against Indiana. OSU's defense is getting better but they will have to be real good to hold UW even to 24 right?? What's your score ... remember, the game is in Madison.

This could be that year. Nebraska could give ND a run in the Rose.

I dunno, I think Oregon could have hung 100 on USC first time around.

I have never been real good at this Steve but I'll give it a try. I think 3 points is to close so I say 30-21.

To be real, Oregon could've put up 100 on damn near every team they played this season. SC was the first game where their starters had to actually play in the second half.
What sanctions? Our 75 are better than your 85.

not sure about that. didn't they score at almost every opportunity? usc lost by 11 and it's extremely difficult to imagine USC playing any worse.
i know, usc scored at the very end...

Louisville's loss also opens the door for Cincinnati. If Cincinnati runs the table the rest of and the way and Rutgers beats Louisville, Cincinnati gets the Big East BCS bid.
