College football week 10 thread: Wild Horses

How did we end up with no game in the After Dark slot on time change weekend; the best chance many viewers back east have to stick with the game?

 

A thing I did not realize is that Florida State is done with the ACC schedule. A nice fat 1-7 record.

 

It's a beautiful thing to behold.
Fucking traitors.

 

Although the ACC and Big 12 might find ways to get a second tournament spot, today's results did not help those causes.
The big winner of the day has to be Indiana, which just might make it. If they lose to Ohio State and only Ohio State, they'll be 11-1 and -- to their benefit -- locked out of the Big Ten title game.
Could it be four from the SEC, four from the Big Ten, Notre Dame, Big 12 champ, ACC champ and Boise State?

 

That's a good question, so I did a little investigating. Of the P4 teams from the Rockies west:

On the Road: Both Arizona schools, Both LA schools, Oregon, Stanford, Hawaii, Air Force
Day (or at least earlier night) Games: Wyoming-NM, Hawaii-Fresno, CSU-Nevada, Washington-USC
Played on Friday: SDSU-Boise
Idle: Colorado, Utah, BYU, Cal, Washington State, Oregon State

In general, this was kind of a light schedule for the middle of the college football season.

Nos. 6, 8, 9, 14, 22, 23 and 25 were all idle this weekend.

 

Idle No. 25 Mizzou will probably drop out of the poll because Mizzou. And if Cook can’t go, it doesn’t matter anyway because the season is toast. Their other QBs are shittastic; hell, I’m old and fatish, and I doubt I could do any worse than those sad sacks of skin.

 

Undefeated teams
Army
Miami
BYU
Indiana
Oregon

One-loss teams
SMU
Pitt
Iowa State
Ohio State
Penn State
Notre Dame
Boise State
Washington State
Georgia
Tennessee
Texas
Louisiana

 

Potential game 7 of the series?

 

BYU running the table then chunking the title game is the only way I see the Big XII getting two in. Notre Dame is in if the win out, but I'd love to see Army finish undefeated and see the Playoff Committee feel forced to take them AND a one-loss Boise. Is the loser of Tennessee-Georgia out? Is Texas-Texas A&M loser out? Figure Indiana is in as long as they beat either Ohio State or Penn State. The ACC is interesting with Clemson losing yesterday. And SMU looks to only finish with the loss to BYU.

 

Indiana doesn't play PSU

 

OK, - but I'm guessing IU can lose to Ohio State and get in, as long as they beat Michigan and Purdue.
