Yup.

Also, ND scored 20 on Stanford to Oregon's 14

[Sportsbuck]

Up to #4 in the AP Poll now. Either Alabama or Georgia are both going to lose at least 1 game, that would move us to #3.

Wisconsin's defense played amazing against us. They had a phenomenal gameplan and they executed it to (almost) perfection.

Outside of the second half at Nebraska, our defense has been great this year. Too bad there are some extreme issues at the QB and OL positions.

I just hope Alabama doesn't lose to Auburn. That way, if UGA wins it will looks better for us. Maybe it will be a UGA vs ND rematch for the NC...

As doubtful as it is if Bama magically lose to Auburn they are out of the SEC Championship. You get LSU in that case.

How does Oregon drop below Georgia and Florida in the BCS rankings? Oregon lost by 3 in OT to a tough Stanford squad, and have pretty much blown out all other competition. Georgia got killed 35-7 to S. Carolina, who, while a tough team, are also incapable of scoring 35 points. Georgia also gave up something like 50 points to Tennessee. Florida being above Oregon is not even conceivable.

Sucks that Oregon-Oregon State is going to be a Pac-12 Network game.

[TheImmortalGoud]

Miami (FL) will forgo a bowl for the second straight year.

Not to mention we lost earlier in the season. It always works out that way. And plus, Stanford sucks. They do have a good defense though. I believe that South Carolina could beat Oregon. So, let's not start on anything. Maybe Florida will get to play Oregon in a bowl game... And maybe Alabama won't lose to Auburn. That would be awful. As terrible as Auburn is and with UGA beating Auburn 38-0 at home...

Huge USC, GT and Clemson fan this weekend
