Yesterday's college games provided exciting tidbits of things to come: More Upsets! There was a moment where I thought USC, Michigan and Florida all might lose. Only the Gators bit the dust but one less team between us and #1 now. Hopefully Auburn will not jump over us in the polls tonight.
Watched a lot of the Florida and Michigan games (isn't picture-in-picture great?). Michigan does look very good; should be a heck of game with OSU. I really do not want to play either one of them but will be rooting for Michigan because if we are fortunate to be in the national title game against them I figure the Irish will have an edge. Very tough to beat the same team twice in one season and I think we will be better by January.
As the Colonel has said before, USC looks very beatable so I am hopeful this time around will go to the Irish. Those of you that want them to be undefeated till we get there should remember that our destiny is really in our hands. We have to keep winning and should expect that most of the teams still ahead in the polls will lose by BCS time. USC's ranking won't matter to us except we may want them to knock off Cal or Oregon later this season.
Some cards still have to fall our way but one or two seem to drop every week and I don't see any stumbles on our schedule. UCLA will give us a game but we will win.
Go Irish!

I think you made your comments before the BCS standings came out. While Auburn and Florida are both ahead of us, we actually moved up in BCS from the other polls to #8. While that sounds good...
I don't think the pieces are falling in to place yet. While I love my state university, it's hard to keep your season's hopes alive by rooting for Rutgers. They play both Louisville and West Virginia. And the Cardinals and Mountaineers play each other too. So we have to hope for some big Big East fratricide.
I'm with you, though: I hope Cal or Oregon beats USC before us. I'm still pissed about 1993, when we beat FSU but they won national championship with same record as us. LOSE LOSE LOSE is all I have to say to teams above us.
Whoda thunk on Michigan, huh? Got to give them as much props as Ohio State, so far. They're #2 in my book. Watched USC last night too. They're not that good. Booty isn't close to Palmer or Leinart. And no RB rivals Bush or White. Having us, Oregon and Cal is a wonderful coincidence of scheduling for them.
Yes, we have to take care of our own business. UCLA looked disinnterested yesterday, so we should win. And Navy got shellacked by Rutgers, and their QB is out for the season.
Enough for this rant. Hope you all find it. Please respond. Another rant on the way under a different heading.
