How can they explain BSU and App state?

Games that I'm going to watch and have a strong opinion on highest to lowest:

Texas vs Iowa State (-7): GO CYCLONES! GRILL SOME F-ING STEAKS!
Navy vs Notre Dame (-7): Shell the IRA!
Memphis (-10) vs Houston: A cat will die and I hope it's blue!
App St (-16) vs Georgia St: Go pointless Georgia; knock off a made up state!
West Virginia vs K-state (-14): Let's go moonshiners!
New Mexico vs Boise St (-28): I know you wont but take down the overrated less of a horse broncos!
Kansas vs Ok St (-17.5); Let's go Les! Destroy Pervy Pete

As much as this disappointments me, I do take solace in the fact that we are currently #20 AP. Won't be shocked if something happens to the lower-ranked portions of the CFP and we're back in in a week.

I have a suspicion that AP and Coaches Polls will adjust according to the CFB Playoff Ranks so there isn't such a deviation. I suspect the AP and Coaches will move to #23-25 and that way when a few lose then we will probably move to 25 in CFBP.

I find it nice that we are even talking about moving around in the top 25! Great days!

Especially if you remember the Chalmer Woodard (May he RIP) era.

I agree. But we REALLY need the Coogs to win. Most important game of the week by far.

Tulane's QB McMillan is going to cause us a good bit of problems. He is mobile, and can deliver the ball.

Not if he played like he did at Memphis - his passing was atrocious in that game.

Don't reasonably expect Memphis to lose to Houston but I do expect them to go down to Cincy. We'll see. Go Cougs!

Watching the Navy-ND game.

God I hope Navy plays against us the way they are playing against ND midway through the 2nd Quarter.
