But it sure looks like Texas-Ohio State winner v USC again. Pretty hard to see any losses there and nobody like an unbeaten Louisville or West Virginiai is gonna jump them.
Maybe we can wait until everybody plays a varsity program before we decide. Ohio State won't get through the Big 10 undefeated and Texas won't get through next week undefeated.
I have had ASU circled on my calendar since last year to beat them outright. I think Nebraska stands a good chance, Cal stands a good chance, Oregon stands a slight chance, and ND stands a good chance(even though they didnt show me much tonight) Yeah SC will be favorites in all those games, but I just dont buy into the SC hype like alot of people out here do. That being said, I definitely lower my expectations of upsets on SC schedule after seeing how they played tonight, but like you said Ark sucked. I was laughing at myself since I have been touting the Ark defense, true they returned 19 starters, but even returning shit, still smells and most importantly plays like shit(just more experienced) PS (by out here I mean in SO CAL)
I agree with virtually everything you have to say here BDB with the exception of your take on Tennesse being a surprise.biggest surprise of the day was tennessee. not that the vols won, but that they did so with such ease. probably a case of cal being ranked at all, much less ranked 9th. they probably will finish the year unranked, but still a nice impressive win for the vols. the victory was much bigger than 17 points.
ohio st. looked like a machine for 20 minutes or so, then coasted or ran all their plays for the year and got stuck. who knows, but they definitely have all the offensive pieces, just whether or not their defense will suffer to much from their losses of the offseason.
can't judge anything by texas win. their true test is against ohio st.
usc was impressive, but no matter how much hype you give arkansas pre game they suck.
auburn could throw a wrench in everything, but even an impressive win over the cougars doesn't mean all that much.
i think tex/ohio st. winner plays usc/nd winner.

Hard for me to see Auburn going unbeaten. But if they do they are gonna be screaming because it will be 2004 all over again.
Vols were very impressive. Like you said...Cal was a fraud. But Phat Phil deserves some credit.
Hard for any team in the SEC to go undefeated, but *if* it happens again this year, with Auburn or another SEC team, I can't see them getting bumped from the title game again. :nono:
I have to disagree about Phat Phil deserving the credit.... The only credit he deserves is for getting rid of Sanders and re-hiring Cutcliff, who is the one who should get the credit for yesterday's showing.
edit: Auburn *might* have to play Tennessee if both make it to the conf championship game. :shrug:
