Post by: Token on October 17, 2010, 08:36:58 PM
1   Oklahoma   
2   Oregon
3   Boise State   
4   Auburn   
5   TCU   
6   LSU   
7   Michigan State   
8   Alabama   
9   Utah   
10   Ohio State   

If Auburn wins out, no way they are left out.  Michigan State is fucked though.

Yep.  All comes down to taking care of what you have control over.

To add a little to that, I don't think Oregon or Boise State will lose, but if Auburn beats LSU this week and a one loss Alabama team in November, they'll easily jump into the top 2.  Easily.

I agree with, especially with both of them being in the BCS top 10. I do think that Oregon will drop one though and I have this funny feeling that Nevada will get it done against Boise.

I don't think a team that lost to a fair Hawaii team will beat a veteran team like Boise State dj.

We'll see. Would you have thought a team that lost to a team not in D1 beat a team that beat the current defending national champions? This is CFB where any crazy shit can happen. Sat that three times real fast.

Auburn beats LSU this weekend, they'll jump to #2.  Oklahoma will still be #1, Oregon will drop to #8 or #9 after they get beat by UCLA.

There will be a lot of people watching that Thursday night game.

You got that right.  How is UCLA's run game?  I heard it was pretty good, and that it was the biggest threat to Oregon.  One because it eats clock, and two, because it's an Oregon weakness.  Wrong?  Right?

They apparently have a very very good run game. I remember they whipped Texas pretty badly with that run game. The only thing with them, they don't really have a passing game. I do think that you're right though, if there is one chink in Oregons armor that would be run defense. If this is not the team to beat Oregon, I do think there is two other teams left on their schedule that will.

Here is a ESPN team link.

Oregon's remaining schedule isn't a cake walk.  It may not be filled with highly ranked teams, but it's not WAC opponents either.  Most of the talking head I've heard, FWIW, believe they will trip up along the way.

Well, Oregon is a run oriented team...I'm thinking we'd have a chance at getting at least one stop in that matchup.  And their run defense is suspect, so Cam runs wild.  I say 91-84 Auburn wins.

3 SEC West teams in the top 10.  Pretty darn AUsome.  Of course, it will shake out as they play each other but that's some strong love for one division.
