VaTech stays alive in the BCS title picture, however remote it might be. That ACC title game with Clemson is going to be the best of the conference championship games.

That OU/Baylor game should be a good'n.

I feel like this week is LSU's best opportunity to showcase exactly what they can do. Ole Miss can't play on either side of the ball to save their lives, so a 60something point game should be in order for LSU.

It's going to be chaotic to say the least.

If LSU wins out and remains #1, do the human voters now manipulate the polls so that the BCS championship game is not a rematch of some kind.....meaning that Alabama and Oregon get leap-frogged?

My master plan to get Virginia Tech into the title game is coming together nicely. Now if USC can beat Oregon and Baylor can beat Oklahoma today, I'm looking real strong. Have Oklahoma beat OK State next week and Arkansas beat LSU and then the winner of the ACC title game should be the #2 team in the BCS standings.

Nothing is impossible......but that is a reach......lol

I would expect, like most years, that something unpredictable happens between some of the frontrunners

michigan looked really good today, i suppose it helps when nebraska looked really bad

are the wolverines back on the scene? (being a conference title contender every year?- possibly more?)

Not in terms of upper echelon.

Top 25 or better........maybe.

Unless something strange happens, Montee Ball is going to finish this year with more touchdowns in a single season than anyone besides Barry Sanders - and he's on pace to only need one additional TD to top Barry's 39. That ought to be something worth talking about, right?

Ball is having a great year but the Big Ten is dreadful and the O-line gets much of the credit for anything any Wisconsin back does. Plus the K-State QB has the same amount of rushing TDs, I think they're both at 26 after today if Klein got one.

USC over Oregon, check

Hokies still have national title life

RGIII has got to get some Heisman love. Most exciting, dynamic college QB I've seen since Vince Young.
