That's what I'm afraid of... Especially now that they're committing penalties all over the place. Maybe we'll see a Mangino-esque rant after the game... "I'll tell you what this is about. BCS!"
-
Reggie Bush proves once again why he is, beyond the shadow of a doubt, the best player in college football...down to the one yard line.
-
Unfortunately for them, unless a whole lot of teams lose in the next week or two there is no chance of that happening.
-
Fresno gets the ball first 2nd half...they're on their own 21 at the moment, 3rd and 7.

There should be a rule against picking an at-large team before the conference champion from that same conference. Then again, there should be a playoff. That begs the question: What eight teams would play in a playoff now? I'll assume a USC loss just for the sake of argument. 1 - Texas 2 - USC 3 - Penn St 4 - LSU 5 - Va Tech 6 - Ohio St 7 - ND 8 - Oregon That's how it would appear to stack up were we to use the BCS standings. Can you imagine? A USC/ND rematch in the quarterfinals? PSU/OSU going at it again in the quarterfinals? A possible ND/PSU matchup in the semis? Texas/LSU? WHY isn't there a playoff?

The worse Leinart plays the more likely his teammate Bush wins the Heisman. If he plays well Vince Young will win the Heisman thanks to the split ballot principle. I can't get the game here (stupid comcast sports) but I just read on an ND board that FSU is using the same method as ND did- long, slow drives that eat the clock. Is it really like that? Sometimes that board is to ND biased, even for my taste, so it could be an exaggeration just to say some good things about the Irish-even in a game they are in no way involved in. There's no doubt the Dogs are using a ball-control offense. It is just one more based on short passes than on running. The one major error Weis has made this year IMO (besides the Schwapp play which he blamed on miscommunication from the sideline) was running the ball a few too many times rather than going with a short passing game. I doubt it would have made much difference, but I thought it was odd how much Charlie was running in that game.

Joke calls going in favor of Michigan at the Big House? Really? :wink: Happened six years ago to ND and Bobby Brown. Brown made a frat symbol in the end zone, it got flagged and UM leveraged that to the game winning TD drive. Reggie Bush too, you shouldn't be flagged just for flipping into the end zone.

I may be wrong but I don't think a USC loss will help ND. It will take up another at large. Also if they do lose, will they move down any furthur than 2? It's a nonconference game, so as long as USC beats UCLA next week they will still win the Pac 10 and get the automatic bid. Will they drop past PSU with a loss? I dunno, but I would like to find out. And Ronnie makes a good point as well that I forgot about completely. :) As did I. So really if USC losses, Oregon will be the main team getting screwed? It seems so. Kind of sucks to be a Duck fan right now. They're going to be passed over for a BCS game for little more than the fact that ND and OSU have more fans.

I can't see USC falling below 2 in the BCS if they lose this one as long as they don't look too bad doing it. Even so I think O$U would be the odd man out and not ND in that situation, even though that's kind of unfair to the Buckeyes. Haha, just a little. Although O$U getting shafted is far from a terrible thing. I agree. :D If Fresno can stop SC from scoring before the half it would be a huge boost. They kill you with those late in the half scoring drives. Kinda hilarious that the one Dog defender tossed Reggie's shoe in the air.

I hate that I don't get Comcast SportsNet in Muncie. Although having FSN Midwest (STL) might pay off for a few Cubs/Cards games later.
-
TD!!! Fantastic throw by Pinegar! 21-10 Fresno!!!!!
-
Another 1st down. Dogs are looking really good if they can go up 21-10. SC gets the ball back in the 2nd half right?
-
It is still 14-10 but Fresno is driving.
-
I will not jump on an upset bandwagon too early... I WILL NOT jump on an upset bandwagon too early...

Great stand by Fresno to force a FG attempt. And it's good. 14-10 Dogs.
-
Penn State going to the title game after 3 or 4 years of calls for JoePa's head would be one of the greatest stories in the history of college football IMHO.
-
Miami now may play in the Fiesta instead of OSU. Depends on which game is more attractive. ND/Miami would stir up some real memories for many fans :D That would be awesome, but I'd be shocked if Miami got to the BCS. At this point they would probably need a VT loss to UNC and then to beat FSU in the ACC title game if that happened.
-
Fresno tonight might be your best shot. Wouldn't that be something to see JoePa go for the National title. I'd root full bore for PSU if that happened. No offense to Texas.
-
Fresno is about to go up 14-7 over USC whether this call is overturned or not. (Ball's either in or at the 1)
-
Of all the good teams in the ACC, if FSU somehow beats VT in the ACC title game, that conference will probably get only one bid to the BCS thanks to ND and O$U.
-
Georgia Tech wins. Wow. Va Tech/FSU for the ACC title.

11/20 Chicago Bears vs. Carolina Panthers

aS I said before, there's a huge range in the quality of game orton could have. Most likely, he's no good and the bears lose by a significant margin. I don't think anyone is saying the bears are the favorite here. Vegas certainly isn't. When I made my NFL picks this week, I was marveling at the fact that two division leaders (Cincy and Chicago) are home dogs this week. You almost never see that this late in the season. Two division leaders as dogs, or Cincy and Chicago as those teams? :D Both! :D
