With the committee really looking for style points, I really hope that we are going to roll them badly.

I have no objections to the best G5 getting a CFB Bid. That was one of the justifications for the expanded field.

My bigger complaint would be 4 Big Ten and 4 SEC teams making it. That is 2/3's of the field with ACC and BigXII only getting one, assuming ND is in the mix.

Big 10 and SEC bias is tough to overcome and Indiana is a perfect case in point. Yes, they are undefeated but have no quality non-conference wins and have not beaten a Big 10 team with a winning record in conference play. Will be interesting to see how they do against Ohio State. They really need to be competitive in that game to warrant the high ranking they are wearing right now

This is the BIGGEST game in our history! If we win, the next is even bigger!

Defense smothers them and we roll. Let’s not forget our 11-point lead in the fenway bowl started to collapse after Keyshawn (if I recall correctly) dropped a dime from KJ in the endzone that could have helped put the game away. We are much improved all around this year and they seem to be a tad bit down.

SMU: 52

BC: 10

38-14 Stangs. Attendance tricky to predict. SMU announces a sellout, but a massive amount of tickets are available on secondary market. 34,045 announced, 31,047 actual.

A crowd of 30,000 looks good and sounds good in Ford, especially with a strong student turnout. BC runs the ball and we stop the run. Should be a good one. Let's do this. Survive and advance time.

I'm going to have to change my guess since Castellanos is not playing. Sadly BC wins because they control the line of scrimmage. 28-21. Attendance sellout.

You're either a history revisionist, or this is coach speak. :wink:
