The Bearcats have some pretty tough games ahead.

Penn State has fired Franklin!

South Carolina extended Shane Beamer after last season, but I have to think his seat is starting to get warm.  A potential home loss to an Oklahoma team (coached by the former hated rivals ex DC) isn't going to do him any favors.

VaTech is his job if he wants it. South Carolina heats up seat too much and he'll just go home to Blacksburg.

Interesting, these three are CFP Locks at this point.

This week's key games.

Hope my Trojans control the line of scrimmage against Notre Dame like they did against Michigan

 

[nikeman49]

Hopefully my alma mater Morehead St can beat Marist Saturday for Homecoming festivities, Phil Simms back in the Head to have the field named after him. Go Head!!

I watched most of the WKU game last night, they looked bad considering their record.

The important point here is that the teams currently ranked 15-25 may or may not be there as the season progresses.  It's possible the A&M only plays one ranked team in their remaining games.  

To your point, I would agree that OSU, Ind and Miami are virtual locks.  I'd go so far as to say that, pending something strange happening, the current top 9 are locks with about 8-9 teams vying for the final 3 spots.
