Oh, and this is the play of the year until proven otherwise...



Saved UCF from completely destroying their BCS hopes by losing to an absolutely awful Temple squad.

great catch!!!!, pretty funny though to hear UCF and BCS in the same sentence.

[Da Schwab]

They still control their own destiny. Their last three games are home to Rutgers and USF, and the finale @SMU. Rutgers could be a trap, especially with how bad they played against Temple (whose only win came against Army).

If they win out, the AAC's BCS bid is theirs.

[El Turco]

Duke is probably going to be ranked, crazy

[Mamba Mentality]

Wow, looks like Auburn is going to win on a miraculous hailmary. Db's once again made the mistake of not swatting the ball down and instead went for the int. Seen it happen far too often the last couple years.

One of the craziest 4th quarters I've seen all year though. Good game.

they probably will but that cracks me up

[Celtics_Champs]

How many incredible hail mary's have we been witnessed to in the last 5 years or so? Unreal, it truly is never over till its over.

[Celtics_Champs]

Wish he wasn't a senior, I like the way the coach is taking the team of "dudes"

Good for them, they have not had a decent team there since Spurrier left them for UF.

Cutcliffe is a good coach. He was unfairly run from Ole Miss after putiing together a solid program and it's nice to see him being rewarded with this terrific year.

How he's gotten theses results is the million dollar question.

I still can't believe Ricardo Louis made the catch, to be honest. The Georgia defenders did play it incorrectly, but Louis saw the ball, literally, at the last second. It was like that Hail Mary from Kentucky/LSU years ago.

That was the craziest finish to just about any game I've ever seen live, college or pro.

- Baylor jumps Ohio State after they pulled away from TTU and the Buckeyes were on an off week.

- USC is back in the Top 25 after the big win against Stanford; Ed Orgeron has the Trojans playing some great football and have an outside shot at making it to the PAC 12 championship game if they chips fall correctly.

- Duke is ranked for the first time in almost 20 years after they beat Miami. They control their own destiny in the ACC Coastal division, if they win out, they're going to the ACC title game for a chance to play spoiler for FSU.

- UCF dropped two spots after barely getting past Temple. Fresno St. (on back to back bye weeks) and Northern Illinois are still the non-AQ undefeated teams who will look to crash the BCS party.

New BCS standings come out around 8:30 tonight, and it should be interesting to see if the computers give Baylor the edge over the idle Buckeyes. Baylor has three games remaining, two against ranked opponents. OSU has two games left, neither versus ranked teams.

[Da Schwab]

Bama
FSU
Ohio State
Baylor
Oregon

The computers still sided with the Buckeyes even though the AP poll went with Baylor.

[El Turco]

Actually computers sided with Baylor, human polls had osu ahead as I expected.

Michigan st better not screw up until the big 12 title game, they should be a top 10 team if they don't lose. Add the win against wisky who should be around 15th at the end, that would be two wins by osu better than any baylor win and keep osu ahead.

Sucks new system is coming too late, all four teams deserve a shot.

[hermes]

i want ohio state to get more respect, they've won 20 some in a row man

anyway iowa-michigan this week should be good, we're at home and michigan is having a rough go lately hopefully we win

people are pretty jazzed up about minnesota-wisconsin too, i hope/think the badgers run them out of the building - dang gophers

[Icness]

Florida State is the most complete team I've seen this year, better than Bama or OSU or Baylor.

IMO Michigan State>>>Stanford, Clemson or Mizzou. That defense is legit. When they get good QB play they're good enough to beat all of those.

Big game tonight: NIU vs. Toledo. The Rockets team that rocked Buffalo last week would win, ruining NIU's BCS return hopes.

[Da Schwab]

I think FSU and Bama are in a class of their own. I really want to see that National Championship game, especially to see if Jameis is the real deal, or if he's been playing to his competition.

[studcrackers]

i understand some that big 12 offense is down but baylors defense is incredibly underrated imo. but ive been trumpeting that team since the end of last year. but nobody wants to see baylor when looking at the other 2 teams

[El Turco]

I d love to see Baylor in title game, as long as it is not at the expense of osu

Baylor vs. FSU in the NC would cause me great joy.

i see what you did there.


id love to see what baylor could do on a national stage, but id also love for my ok state to go to a bcs bowl for the 2nd time in 3 years
