hahahah give me a break. what the [expletive] is the point of replay if you can't even get it right

 

I have no idea how anything at any part of that play or the review would give anyone the idea it was a fumble. There were multiple angles showing his knee and arm down before the ball moved at all. Incredible.

Florida

Alabama

Texas

USC

Boise St.

Cincy

Miami

LSU

Iowa

TCU

The computers do not like Miami. They were 12th last week in the computers and only one of the top 11 failed to win this week (Virginia Tech). The losses by Virginia Tech and Nebraska are probably going to hurt the Hurricanes this week in the computers. Ohio State was 13th in the computers coming into the week. Miami was already behind LSU, Iowa and TCU in the computers. They were behind TCU and LSU in the Coaches Poll and will likely fall behind Iowa there this week, I think. They were already behind all three in the Harris Poll. I think it's between them and Oregon. The computers love the Ducks (#7 last week). Don't count out Virginia Tech dropping only to number nine or ten in the BCS either. They were #4 in the computers behind Florida, Alabama and Iowa last week in that order.

It's odd that USC couldn't run much at all, yet ND couldn't get any pressure on the QB. But based on the first 6 games, there's no reason they can't go 10-2. Not sure where that puts them this year. Probably depends on how good Pitt and Stanford end up.

10-2 would get ND a BCS bowl. I listened to the end of the game on radio, Allen Pinckett was convinced that the next to last play was a TD. Was he just wrong? I have not seen any highlights of the play on ESPN so it must not have even been that close.

it was the 3rd to last play. on replay it was pretty clear that Rudolph's knee hit the ground (oob) before he got control of the ball. It was on his hand as his knee was coming down but I don't think you could say he had "control" yet.

I don't know that 10-2 guarantees ND a BCS berth.

 

There are 10 slots available. Barring any upsets, both Florida and Alabama are in (even though one will beat the other in the SEC title game). Five more spots for Big Ten, ACC, Big East, Big 12 and Pac 10 champs. That leaves 3 open slots.

 

Let's say Penn State wins out and finishes 11-1 and Boise St. and TCU go undefeated....who would you take out to put ND in? What if Texas goes 12-0 but gets upset in the Big XII title game?
