I'm hoping we end up play you guys with us at 10 or better and SMU in the top 20. I'm begging the big man upstairs to get us College Gameday in Houston. Hey it could happen.

Game is on FSN, so getting GameDay to even mention the game will be a stretch.

If we were playing anywhere on the ESPN networks, there could have been a shot--not a great slate of games that day. If Michigan and Nebraska are both still at 1 loss, it will be at the Big House. Otherwise probably LSU-Ole Miss.

Beat USM. At 6-1 SMU gets serious consideration (And prey TCU wins as well so they get serious consideration).

SMU started too low in the national expectation ranks to move us with a win over a now 3-3 team (UCF). Beat USM on the road (coupled with a win over top 25 team TCU) and we get a serious shot at top 25.

Even if we beat USM,I still think we have to beat Tulsa to get into the top 25. Mainly because of bias and second because attrition of the top 25 will need to take place for us to have room to move up.

Michigan is 2 loss and will probably drop to either Iowa or Illinois. Nebraska will lose to Michigan State. I wouldnt be surprised to see ESPN buy the rights to the game which I bet is why game time is still TBA.

Gameday will be in Baton Rouge next week. Then in Tuscaloosa the week before we meet up. The stars just might align for this one...

One more win and I believe we're there! If not, we should let Peruna 9 kick or bite the [Fatterson] out of the voters. He's feisty!
Roll Tide and Pony UP!

I think we beat tech and UT if we get to play them at ford, not sure about baylor RGIII is scary good

I thought we already had the most important sports covered: Swim/Dive, Soccer, and Girls CXC; football is just icing on the cake :lol:

We are 29th in Coaches Poll with 27 votes. Very few points between Georgia @ #26 (who are likely to get beat by Florida) and the Mustangs.
