Notre Dame:

5-0 Purdue.

Now if only we can be Ohio State...

WTF?? Kansas State over Texas -- by 20 points??

Now now Notre Dame fan...I think you should go sit in the corner.

I know you're still hung up on all those titles from the FDR era, but 0-5 isn't going to cut it in modern college football, sorry.

Illinois with a better record than the Chicago Bears in October? WOW!

I was excited by all of the undefeated non-traditional football powers this season: Hawaii, Kentucky, Cincinnati, Rutgers, Boise State, SOUTH FLORIDA! Slowly, the list dwindles diminishing the chances of one of these teams getting a shot at a national championship. I keep hoping for a BCS Championship involving one of these types of teams. Louisville had a chance last year but lost to Rutgers late in the season. Boise State was last year's lone unbeaten team but not ranked high enough for a shot at a BCS title. South Florida, at #5 in both polls this week, currently looks like this year's Cinderella...but with Rutgers, Cincinnati, and Louisville on their remaining schedule, they have a tough road ahead of them.

Do these teams DESERVE a shot at a national championship? Are they truly the best team in the land?

It certainly looks like whoever will be playing for the title this year will have 1 loss. I wonder when the last time that happened where two teams battling for #1 both had one loss.

I'll go on record right now that Ohio State will lose at least once (and probably twice, including to Michigan) is only going to the top of the polls by default.

Just curious. Why do you think Michigan will beat Ohio State?

For several reasons: 1) Hart is having an amazing year at RB, 2) a win could be to save Lloyd Carr's job and he is supported by his players, 3) so the season will not be a total loss for Michigan, given the lofty expectations at the beginning of the season and Michigan's numbing two losses, 4) Ohio State, despite being undefeated to this point, is nowhere near as good as they were last season.

Goombah you are breaking my heart. Why you doubting the Bucks so soon? I am going to have to question your Buckeye fanhood if you are saying they are going to lose to Michigan. Never go against the family again.

The Bucks will beat Michigan because Hart while having a great season will be banged up yet again by the time the game comes because he is Michigans only reliable player.

Second taking out the ND game, since they are just pathetic, Michigan is averaging 27 points a game while allowing 23.5. This is against Eastern Michigan, Northwestern, App St. This is just not good enough.

I mean Michigan was only able to score 28 points on NOrthwestern and OSU put up 58. And Michigans last 2 touchdowns were set up because the Wildcats turned the ball over inside their own 40.

And as long as Loydd Carr is on the opposite sideline of Tressel OSU will always have a better chance of winning.

I'll go on record as of October 15th, 2007 at 9:04 that Michigan still sucks

I'm going to the Rutgers vs USF game tomorrow night

Lets hope its like Louisville!!!

Ok, you have convinced me. Ohio State will beat Michigan again! I'm glad we're undefeated so far, but I think it's a mirage. This is supposed to be a down year and we really have not played anybody yet. I would love to be proven wrong.

Where is the Mich-OSU game going to be played this year?

That doesnt mean anything. You cant compare one to another based on who they played. And if OSU has a zero in the loss column, Michigan will come to play and it will be another tough game.

And how can you say Hart is going to be banged up again? Better hope that he doesnt play because that is the only chance you guys have of winning.



The Big House.

I heard on Mike & Mike this morning that OSU has played the 72nd toughest schedule this year, while USF has played the 12th toughest. The rest of the way, OSU has a more difficult schedule, including at Penn State, at Michigan, and Wisconsin at home.

Goombah, glad to have you back on board. Any rational Buckeye fan has to say this years schedule is weaker compared to past and compared to some other teams, it doesn't help that Michigan, who was picked by everyone and their mother to win the Big 10 and probably play for the Championship, and the rest of the Big 10 have just sucked it up this year. But I have to believe that OSU, like every other big time program, is playing the best schedule they could get for this year.

While OSU has not beaten anyone significant they have also not done what other teams have done and that is lose a game they should have won. USC might play a tougher schedule this year but they should not lose to Stanford, nor Oklahoma to Colorado, nor Auburn to Mississppi St., nor Michigan to App St.

Capone is correct that the records are thrown out the window every November when OSU and Mich play. This is one of the reasons it is one of the greatest games every year. And I hope Hart does play so he graduates not having the feeling of beating OSU, which is why he came back for his senior year in the first place.

What, is the Rutgers game not on TV?? It was playing at the bar...

It was on ESPN. I just watched the entire game.

Oh, guess it ended before I got home...

YEAH RUTGERS!!! Beat #2 USF!!!!

I really thought they were going to blow it again in the 2nd half, but this time they didn't let it get away.

Hopefully they'll be ranked again after tonight...

I ordered a Ray Rice jersey tonight.

Think I should change my name to Rice to give my future kids instant skill

I didn't make the full commitment though. I ordered a "replica" instead of an authentic one. Most of my Pro jerseys are the real deal.

I've been to 2 Rutgers games in my life..Louisville last year and South Florida this year..both wins, both times stormed the field!

Did anyone see the BC-VT game last night. BC's QB Matt Ryan threw for two TDs in the final 2 1/2 minutes to win the game. The last score coming on a 30 yard pass on 3rd and 20 with 11 seconds remaining.

But I mention this because moments before the kickoff after the last TD, ESPN showed Ryan on the sidelines with a teammate, and he bent forwarded and vomited just before the camera broke from him. Did anyone catch that?

About to walk over to the Rutgers/West VIrginia game..2 "upsets" in 2 games maybe

'course I gotta work today so can only see the first hour or so on TV Text me w/ the final score please

Not a problem...just make sure you watch the Pitt game..I might have front row tickets on the 40 yard line

My daughter is going to the Maryland Terps game today. My niece had a free ticket. Of course, the only reason that matters to her is she's going to experience her first tailgating.
