K-state is not going to make it to unbeaten; Oregon looks unlikely too that it would maintain unbeaten.
Of course USC is waiting for ND but USC looked just plain ordinary.
Alabama will meet (and beat) Auburn (hey, give us Derick Green!), and it will beat Georgia for SEC championship.
Of all scenarios, an Alabama-ND match probably is the worst that Brian Kelly can get.

For some reason I was thinking of the 2006 Ohio team, even though the post clearly refers to 2007. My mistake.

I also don't give them a ton of credit for those 6 turnovers. Taking one or two of those red zone turnovers away would have helped us out a lot, but it is what it is.

What??
Are you kidding
What??
Are you kidding me?
You realize K-State just has to beat this Baylor team to make it to Miami, right? And Oregon always struggles to start games but finishes them strong in the 2nd half. I would bet my life that neither K-State nor Oregon loses tonight. Oregon is also going to kill Oregon State and UCLA... As for ND, they are really good and USC is not very good at all. USC has been overhyped since the start of the season and it's pissing me off... they're terrible. ND will roll them. It's Oregon v. KSU in the national championship game, and that's a lock.
K-State also have to beat
K-State also have to beat Texas next week, no?
It ain't easy being cheesy

Yeah sorry, this was their last road test, I mistakenly confused it with it being their last game. Doesn't matter because Texas is bad.
Oregon does not struggle to
Oregon does not struggle to start games. They regularly run out to an uncatchable lead and rest the starters by late in the 3rd quarter.
You haven't watched Oregon
You haven't watched Oregon for the last two weeks have you? Both against USC and UCLA they had very slow starts and then picked up the pace to roll.
And you haven't watched
And you haven't watched Oregon the rest of the year. I also think you mean against Cal and Stanford. Oregon hasn't played UCLA and against USC Oregon scored 14 1st quarter points and 20 in the second - not a slow start. Even against Cal is a stretch because they still had 14 1st quarter points en route to 24 points in the 1st half.
Basically you're saying Oregon starts slowly because they have struggled in this one game against Stanford.
ND hasn't rolled anyone with
ND hasn't rolled anyone with a pulse yet this year. Last time the media was singing ND's praises was after they beat OK and they went out and nearly lost to Pitt.
You compromised your own post...

A win is a win and all teams
A win is a win and all teams require luck to go undefeated. The Irish might not have thrashed everyone they've played, but they do have one of the strongest schedules to date and have WON every game. Doesn't matter how it happens, they've won every game.
It matters to anyone with a
It matters to anyone with a triple digit IQ and who cares about rankings having something to do with how good a team actually is. Squeaking by multiple teams with losing/.500-ish records does not bode well in a NC game.

But the shamrock is goin down next week to a wounded USC team. Can't wait to see it too...
Since we played ND, would
Since we played ND, would them losing lower our SOS and potentially hurt us in the computer rankings? Maybe it doesn't matter since they beat us?
"Is There Anybody Out There?" Pink Floyd, The Wall.
I second that question...
...as much as I'd like to see ND lose and miss out on the National Championship game, would it not improve our chances at a BCS at-large berth (assuming Nebraska wins out, of course)? We have to remember not to follow in some other teams' footsteps...we can't hate our rival more than we love our own team, just doesn't make sense. In other words, we should cheer for ND if it improves our shot at a BCS berth, no matter how much we hate them (assuming it would in fact help us...otherwise: to hell with Notre Dame.)
BEAT OHIO!

What ND does really has no
What ND does really has no consequence to us BCS wise. We want Oregon and Kansas St to win so they got auto bids not at large bids
Even with tonight's loss
Even with tonight's loss doesn't K State still win the Big 12 by beating Texas? If they lose to Texas doesn't seem like they'd be a real option for an at large bid. Long way to say, K State loss tonighty doesn't really matter to us.
It would help us get closer to top 14 in BCS if K State beats Texas. However, the Stanford win over Oregon makes it less likely M gets there anyway.

Alabama repeating or ND winning it all. If oregon and ksu go down tonight I might lose my mind.

Yep, there it went.
Beat Ohio! That's all that matters now.
