No upsets?!?
It is impossible for someone ahead of us not to lose next week. I wouldn't worry.
It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.
of us.
Today, we saw a number of possibilities--individually unlikely but in aggregate reasonably likely-expire without our needed one spot boost. Our best chance next week is Okla St over Okla, then LSU over Georgia (will Georgia fall enough?), and then S Miss over Houston. After that, we can hope that one of two major underdogs comes through, or that Clemson destroys VT and the voters take note of VT's lack of a Top 25 win, or pray for the miracle that New Mexico beats Boise in an epic upset.

Not if you're asking Lou Holtz, lol.
"that's why you don't go to Ohio State, Lawrence"
we will probably drop to 16 after wisconsins beatdown over psu. No matter, georgia loses, michigan is AT WORST 14 next week
Let's not forget Kansas State has to beat a confident Iowa state and Houston has to beat Southern Miss who might be the best team they played this year.
I've seen Southern Miss play in person. They start a little slow but they're legit, they should be able to win TOP against that Houston defense. They also play pretty tough D themselves

Yeah, we need GA to lose, more or less.
But on the subject of upsets tonight: I got out a clothespin and snapped it on my nose, put on my darkest Wayfarers, and turned on the ND game to root for them. And firkdingblast if that team doesn't annoy me even when I want them to win. They should be up in this game, but they're completely self-destructive. Chip Kelly is testing his new anger management skills tonight. So now I'm just enjoying ND losing. Kind of a win-win for me, really.

Brian Kelly has anger problems. Chip Kelly has NCAA violation problems.
Yep, that's Simba made out of a pineapple.
Notre Dame, South Carolina, and South Florida (Skip Holtz's team) are all getting in BCS bowls. Even if it means bumping out Bama and the Pac 12 champion.

I assume Illinois' loss at Minnesota qualifies as an upset, even though it obviously doesn't affect the BCS rankings. LOL Zook.

Chances. Should change next week though.
