Beating Nebraska would be a great thing.

What happens if Auburn, Michigan, aTm, SCar all win? Doesn't seem overly far fetched for a couple of those to happen..... though all happening would be miraculous. 4 of 5 at home. And A&M over Mizzou this time 3 months ago was a no brainer.

What happens to what, the title game picture? Pretty clearly goes 1) FSU 2) Auburn 3) Bama 4) Ok St (assuming they win Bedlam) 5) Ohio State to me.

In this scenario, the chances of South Carolina beating Auburn to backdoor the Tide into the title game for the 3rd year in a row are somewhere between 100 percent and 1,000 percent.

we're going to lose by 30+ this week

Come on, why not throw the Florida State doing Florida State things and losing to the Gators in there as well?

 

Then you'd have it be Auburn vs. South Carolina for the right to play OK State, who lost to West Virginia. LOL.

[Tracer Bullet]

I have to route for Bama. I want Meyer undefeated and without a title 2 years in a row.

I think Mich is like a 10pt line so its like a 4-1 proposition that they can upset OSU. Definately possible. Gamecocks are a 5.5 favorite, play at home very well, Clemson got eviscerated by the only good team they have played and USC has won this game 4-5 times in a row.

 

Mizzou A&M is tough because A&M looked really awful saturday and im afraid that JFF might be injured. Hopefully A&M can pull this off and hopefully Manziel plays well enough to prevent AJ Mccaron from winning a heisman. Hes like a bad version of Ken Dorsey and I really dont want him to win it.

 

Unfortunately Alabama will overmatch Auburn. Auburn is a great story this year but they are overrated and will get absolutely destroyed.

Can't see the Wolverines even coming close to OSU, though I would giggle if they pulled off the upset.

I have no idea what was wrong with Manziel but his thumb issue which was referenced has been there for a few weeks now so there was nothing new this week that I've heard about. And he's been dealing with the shoulder since Auburn. He was so awful in that game I have no idea what to expect for this Saturday now. Maybe LSU is just in his head. I hope he's so embarrassed by this performance that he comes out guns blazing against Mizzou and redeems himself with a huge game. I'm not even worried about the Heisman anymore. I want to get to 10 wins.

[rawaction]

Duh. I forgot about Auburn when I was thinking of who would be in the NC game. Thought 1, 3, 4, 5, and 6 were all losing.

my god, that is easy money

If Missouri wins on Saturday, shouldn't this put them in line for at least the Cotton Bowl? Jerry Palm has LSU projected for it.

Doesn't the Cotton Bowl go to an SEC West team?

You would think. Mandel has LSU projected there too. I can only assume both are guessing you will lose to A&M, but I'd hardly think that's a slam dunk at this point.

It always does, but it's not a contractual requirement. No bowl game is contracted to a single division.

Well, that has to be the logic they're using since Mizzou will end up better than LSU.

[Guest]

LSU and aTm have bigger fan bases and are both a short drive from Dallas, that's the primary reason that it would actually play out if it does. I've also seen the logic floated that the Cotton might be more likely to pass on Mizzou if they lose the SECCG because they already would have traveled to Atlanta and the Cotton would be a slight letdown at that point, but 2007 should've given them a front row seat at how untrue that is. The CapOne Bowl has higher priority in the SEC order, so the projections could be assuming that Mizzou doesn't last to the Cotton either, like SBN's are currently projecting.

 

Thankfully, the SEC has some safe-guards to prevent Mizzou from winding up in the Music City Bowl if they don't win the SEC, but I can't seem to find the exact details of how far they'd be allowed to fall depending on their finish.

Maybe not. A bad loss this week or in the SEC title game might drop them below LSU even with LSUs 3 losses. Losing your last game hurts most unfortunately.

 

If Mizzou and USC both win their games this weekend South Carolina will get the second SEC BCS slot, assumign Bama is able to smash Auburn and then Mizzou.

IU Sucks

 

Yeah, well they suck less than Purdue. :P

Man a win would be sweet Saturday if the worst team in Purdue history could somehow pull off a road win at IU. :D

 

I think we're 3 TD dogs though lol.
