Well. Hey, we lost to the #4 in the country. At least Masey will move us up in his poll! :rolleyes:

This is stale. Why obfuscate? Someone needs to start a Week 12 thread.

A couple of years ago pretty boy Lane Kiffin was put into a sexiest woman alive contest (sponsored by Esquire) against some beautiful female athletes. he won [Round 1 against LPGA Golfer Natalie Gulbis](http://www.esquire.com/women/the-sexiest-woman-alive/bracket-tournament/natalie-gulbis-vs-lane-kiffin).

I have a feeling Lane is going to have some free time to work on his modeling skills after this woeful job of coaching against Notre Dame.

Notre Dame vs The SEC Champion for the BCS title. I think it will be Bama, looking for revenge for The Bear.

ROLL TIDE!

> As for the title game, FSU doesn’t really have a shot (and shouldn’t - we lost to an unranked team), but to pretend that one bad week makes us worse than a couple of two loss teams is ridiculous (or in Massey’s case THREE and FOUR loss teams). Strength of schedule is a valuable measure, but shouldn’t be the be-all/end-all of college football.

I agree there’s something screwed up with that. FSU should be ranked higher (and I guess they will be, now that they have an SEC loss on the books – seems to work for UGA, Alabama, LSU, USC and TAMU).

Also, you forgot Wake-Vanderbilt. Nice rivalry. Not helpful today. Let’s get Louisville in, and move the game to rivalry week so we’ll at least go 1-4 on an unusually bad day (like today).

It’s probably Notre Dame vs Alabama for the title- I guess as an ACC fan I’m 5/8 for Notre Dame and 3/8 don’t care.

Somebody correct my math, but there is a chance that the ACC, Big East and Big Ten could all be sending a 5 or 6 loss team to the BCS as their conference champion right? That’s kind of ridiculous.

Way to Go Cocks! And SEC looking good on Rivalry weekend!

Big East Champ will either be Rutgers or Louisville, and they both have 2 losses.

Well, I was looking at the possibility of a four way tie for conference champion which would include five-loss Syracuse, but you’re right, in that situation they wouldn’t get the BCS berth.

And sure enough…Masey has us now ranked 19.

Yet somehow has the Gators (4-1 against ranked teams) #4 and Alabama #1 (1-1 against ranked teams). Masey is a fucking moron. Why does this guy have influence over the BCS?
