Rose Bowl: USC v Ohio State!

[BarbaraGordon]

Steel is correct. Oregon State is not exactly a powerhouse here. They were up for this game, yes, but they also lost to Stanford. They've already got two losses and they've still gotta play the Utes and...um...their Pac-10 schedule?

RPI?

The game next Thursday just got real interesting. Quizz is going to run wild on Utah. Also Oregon States run D was unbelievable, and that is Utahs strength, I am anxious to see what happens.

OSU played a great game, they played with passion and flat out wanted it more than SC. Once again, SC has taken themselves out of the NC hunt, this has become a disturbing trend. Hopefully, they can win out and get back to the Rose Bowl.

They played 3 solid quarters against Stanford and blew it late. They were blown out by Penn State, but they blew out Hawaii. Now a win over SC, they either have a huge letdown next week or it springboards them to a good season.

Remember, I said I wasn't that impressed with Sanchez. We'll see in the 2nd half.

Well, well, well. Who knows what.

You don't think Utah's run D is strong?

Because OU's ranked #2 and will move up to #1? Nope. Georgia will be #1.

I'm happy because earlier this week Sanchez was listed above Bradford on the Heisman watch. And I was like, "What?! He hasn't even done anything yet." So, if this knocks Sanchez out of the picture, I'm okay with that.

If Georgia beats ALabama they will jump Oklahoma. But it will be close with a Oklahoma blowout of TCU.

I hope the conversation turns to whether Pete Carroll is actually the best recruiter, and worst coach all at the same time.

The Pac-10 is so pathetic this year they could win the conference. Penn State is great this year and Hawaii's no pushover. I was telling somebody earlier today that OSU had a ridiculously tough non-conference schedule for a BCS team.
