College Football - Week of 11/4

[soccer10k]

Evidently the computers are going to make ND beat USC and be 11-1 to clinch a BCS spot, which should pretty well quiet the "it's too easy for ND to make a BCS game" crowd.

 

Why do you say that? The puters have them 6th right now. They need to sell the voters to improve their BCS points. IF they beat USC ill put money they get the BCS and they would rightfully deserve it. They might lose some power in the computers in the next couple weeks because of a deteriorting SOS but when they play USC the SOS will greatly improve. USC beating Oregon and Cal would only improve that.

 

If Notre Dame beats USC, they're in the BCS regardless of what USC does in their other three games. Notre Dame will beat Air Force and Army. A 11-1 ND team or, for that matter, an 11-1 major conference team (with the exception of the Big East because they are looked at as an inferior conference by the voters) is not going to be overlooked by the BCS.

 

The question is what happens to Notre Dame - regarding a BCS bowl - if USC is victorious in the game between the two. This hinges mainly on how close the score is and then how USC does in their games against Oregon and Cal leading up to the game. If it's a close game, regardless of USC's record, Notre Dame gets a BCS bowl. But if Notre Dame gets blown out, then it will become interesting.

major injury in the PSU-Wisconsin game... Joe Paterno???

 

I don't know if you were watching but it didn't look good. I would be suprised to hear that he broke his leg or blew out his knee. There was nothing he could do. It was just one of those things.

 

He was carted into the locker room for Xrays.

 

Joe Pa broke his leg and damaged knee ligaments. Really a shame. Hope he gets better soon. He's a tough mf-er for hanging out there as long as he did.
