They said Missouri's 3rd in the computer polls

 

[Velo Vol]

Raise your hand if your predicted Missouri to be a top five BSC team at the beginning of the season.

If Oregon wins out I think they jump FSU

If Oregon wins out I think they jump FSU

Yea, strength of schedule will put the Ducks back in the top two if they win out.

 

[miamicane]

oh yeah!

 

[MSUDuo]

Yea, strength of schedule will put the Ducks back in the top two if they win out.

Disagree. Clemson and Miami should stick around in the top 10 by seasons end, even with losses to FSU. That would give the ACC 3. I don't think Stanford and UCLA will be there with multiple losses. Oregon might be the only Pac 12 with only 1 loss.

FWIW, I think it would be fitting that the team who played in the first 3 BCS title games would play in the last one and end the SEC's run.

Man I can't wait until we're nationally relevant again.

Irrelevant. Gators will play the spoiler for FSU this year.

If your banged up defense can't stop Mizzou, doubt they stop FSU.

A boy can dream....

If Oregon wins out I think they jump FSU

I feel bad for Oregon

 

[Duckweed]

I like where Oregon is at, if we win out we are in regardless of what anyone else does. You can't ask for more than that.


Also 'grats on the nice win! GBO :hi:

Two or three weeks ago I would've said FSU's success was due to scheduling (partially still is) and UF would slow them down. At this juncture I don't see many teams slowing them down.

 

[Grand Vol]

Problem is, FSU only has one more ranked opponent (Miami) and a bunch of 4-3, 3-4 teams remaining. That's not counting the ACC CG which could be a rematch with Miami or Va Tech.

Oregon on the other hand has three ranked opponents (Stanford, Oregon State and UCLA) and of course the Pac-12 CG which could be a rematch with UCLA or ASU.

Strength of schedule should push Oregon back into the #2 spot even with both teams winning out.

 

[vols-1]

If Oregon wins out I think they jump FSU

Depends on who they play in the conference championship game. A rematch with UCLA would hurt more than help IMO.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

I have a feeling it'll be worked out on the field. FSU has a way of choking one away and if Oregon loses one game they're out, which is a lot of pressure to work under. I won't be surprised if they both drop one and the debate transfers to Baylor or OSU.

 

[golfballs]

Watch FSU lose this week

 

[MSUDuo]

Watch FSU lose this week

No kidding. If this isn't the definition of a trap game, I don't know what would be.

In Jimbo we trust!

Absolutely, if by some miracle FSU and Oregon get thru the year unscathed it won't be the FSU vs Oregon computer ranking that determines anything, it will be Oregon gaining .01 in the computers at the expense of Mizzou. The schedule pretty much guarantees that.

 

[Pulscifer]

FSU always chokes. They'll lose a game this year. Miami will blow a game or two. Mizzou will lose to SC/OM/A&M (maybe all three). OSU will lose to Michigan. I think it'll all work out with Oregon vs Bama. Oregon vs Baylor if Bama loses to Auburn, which could definitely happen.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

We always see an upset in the Top 3...Bama and Oregon last year, Oklahoma State the year before that. Oregon has the tougher path, in a much tougher conference.

All things being equal and assuming Oregon and FSU both win out, FSU is screwed. If that happens I'll sleep better knowing UF's sucktitude helped to keep FSU from playing for a BCS title.

And for the record, LG is on crack...FSU will destroy UF next month.
