Since I am in Michigan, i had to bet on MSU. I knew better but did not want to be the only guy in the state who did not trust them. So Iowa is killing them. ---

Well It looks like MSU is gonna go down, and Missouri looking likely to get beat. That leaves Oregon and Auburn as the last big conference teams who can go undefeated who I put in the’ if undefeated must got to the champ game’ confernces. If one of them loses its gonna get really interesting for the Boise state in the champ game conversation. ---

The Bears continue their absolutely schizo behavior: unstoppable at home, absolutely sickeningly bad (offense, defense, special teams, penalties, coaching) on the road. Getting completely dismantled by the Beavers. The consensus among the online community isn’t should Tedford be fired, but can we do it in the middle of this game? ---

Maybe you could fire/hire him week to week. On home games, hire him on Sunday; on away games, fire him. ---

7-1 after a suspension. Don’t drive over the limit with your drunk buddies guys, even if you may not have had anything to drink! ---

Notre Dame loses to Tulsa. They are now 4-5. Looking at the their schedule, they only had 7 teams on their schedule that are BCS teams. Utah might as well be BCS, but officially they are not. they also had 8 home games, 1 on a neutral field and only 3 road games. ---

Well, once again Michigan’s defense looked so incredibly bad it was embarrassing. I still don’t get why they would still have Robinson as the coach - did they not see what he did with Syracuse? If they get rid of him and get the defense in order they will be very good next year. (And at least we’re not Notre Dame. Ouch! :)) ---

How’s my team look? Like they took up football just last week. Losing to Baylor and Iowa State, at home, in back to back weeks. ---

> [@wolfman](#): > > If they can’t beat Illinois or Purdue The whole staff will be gone. They can’t beat wisc or OSU,and three losing seasons in a row is too much. They can’t even bump into a guy that can play defense. Your grandmother could run up the middle for 8 yards. How can a team have such a terrible defense? Yet one more victory and they can embarrass themselves in a bowl. With Denard ,a lot of bowls would like to have them. ---

After knocking off East Carolina, UCF is now 6-2 (4-0 in C-USA) and receiving multiple Top 25 votes (5 in the AP, 13 in the USA Today) for the first time since… actually, that might never have happened. Probably at the end of the 2007 season when we had the leading rusher in the country and a top 20 defense, but that’s about it. ---

> [@Thing\_Fish](#): > > Oh, that’s just wrong.☹ As it turns out, I missed ND losing in the last 4 min and got home in time to see the Ducks whip up on the Trojans late.
