Ok, so with so far this week Auburn and Louisville most likely falling out of the top spots of the BCS, and Florida playing South Carolina close so far, will the winner of the Cal/USC game have a fighting shot to play in the National Championship?

 

Why is Cal a possible team while Louisville or WV are not?

 

Sorry, my subconscious underrates the Big East like the rest of the america.

USC definitely will have a chance if they beat Cal and ND.

 

Are you getting the Cal game?

 

nope, unfortunately.

 

They need to run Lynch more. He had an 80-yard touchdown wiped out on a block in the back penalty (the drive they got a FG on). The touchdown pass to DeSean Jackson was pretty, but besides those 3 plays, the offense hasn't looked great. Especially Longshore.

 

hows the anemic Arizona O looking against cal's D?

Florida 7 SC 7...in Florida. They can't destroy a 5-4 team at home but they are one of the best 1 loss team in the nation? These reporters just see what they want to see.

 

Why do we let one game decide everything rather than the body of work?

 

I don't understand what you're saying. I agree the whole season should be the thing that everyone goes by but losing in your 9th/10th/11th or 12th game after being undefeated knocks you out is what bothers me.

 

Florida gets to play a tough W Carolina team next week.

 

As far as I'm concerned, Florida, Louisville and WVU are one and the same to me. All three lost tough, close games on the road to quality opponents.

Tuitama is garbage. He keeps throwing off target, I don't know how much Cal's defense has had to do with that since Tuitama does that against every team.

 

I still can't believe UCLA gave up 52 points to this loser last year. :x

If there was a fair way to pick the top 2 teams I'd be ok with it if this is the system we are stuck with. But, too much bias is involved and with that it'll never be fair. To be totally fair....Boise State beat Oregon St 42-14 while Oregon St. beat USC. Boise has beaten/played not one top 25 team though.

Wow, DeSean Jackson nearly returned another punt for a TD.

 

Arizona's offense is embarassing.

 

I never get to see the PAC 10 or Big 12. We always get the Big 10 and SEC.

 

I expect you'll be able to see next week's Cal-USC game, but most of the Pac-10 games are locally televised (on FSN) outside of a few USC games and when a team plays a big team out of conference (Cal-Tennessee, Oklahoma-Oregon, UCLA-Notre Dame).

Never mind about the Florida momentum, they apparently want to run some gimmick offensive sets with Tebow and go out of FG range.

 

Meanwhile in Tucson, Arizona scores a TD to make it 17-10 Cal.

 

Maybe I'm bias but I see nothing about Florida that says they are the second best team in the nation.

BS pass interference call against Hughes as he intercepts a pass. Arizona is going to tie thanks to a BS call.

 

That's the second time this drive that Cal has intercepted a pass and it's been called back on a penalty.

 

Touchdown Arizona, game tied at 17.

Uhh, I think you mean the third best team.

 

Florida's offense is so gimicky, they shouldn't run so many trick plays. Game tied at 10 with 10:49 left.

South Carolina with a TD, but the extra point is blocked. They're up 6 points on Florida with about 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter.
