BOL Round Table

Admire your optimism but I disagree.

They would join the impressive company of SMU, Sam Houston State, ULM and 1-9 Kansas as teams Baylor has beaten this year. I think longshot is an understatement. KState has easiest route to championship game - would almost be a shame to see them stumble over a team in Waco, TX.

K st isn't losing IMO. We gotta ride USC to the promised land

The betting line is ksu - 12 so there is a chance . A@M was +14 against us

I think the Stanford upset is more likely this weekend. Oregon DL is badly beaten up and Stanford can run the ball with more physicality than any team Oregon has faced so far. Even Cal had a good deal of success running right at Oregon last week. The question is, can Stanford slow Oregon down enough on offense to give themselves a chance? They held USC to 14 points so anything is possible, I suppose.

KState at Baylor is interesting, but unless Klein is really hurt and limited, I think they'll put up more than enough points to win the game. KState D is pretty solid; I think they'll hold Baylor to around 24-28 points, and I doubt Baylor can keep KState below that.

If there's one thing that our loss did, it made the rest of the games way more interesting for Bama fans. The ISU win over Okie State might have been the most exciting moment of the season last year for me after the blanking of LSU in the dome. Hope we have a similar experience starting this weekend!

Oregon is going to mudhole Stanford. Baylor couldnt stop 11 of any random people on this board, much less K State. We are dependent on USC & maybe Texas. But USC plays ND & Oregon (if they beat UCLA) and they have the talent to beat both.

None of the 3 remaining unbeaten teams are spectacular by any means. It's difficult to go undefeated in a season. I would not be surprised if all 3 lost by season's end. Everyone thought West Virginia and Missouri would play for the national championship in 2007, but neither of those teams were really that good, and they both found a way to lose. The same will happen this season. It's just a matter of a few weeks.

Wishful thinking imo.

Most likely scenario for us to get to the BCSNG is that:

K-state losses to Texas
Notre Dame losses to USC

I doubt Baylor wins and I don't think Stanford has enough firepower to beat Oregon regardless of how good their defense is. The magic number to beat Oregon is 30 as in you gotta hold them under that and you gotta get over that number. Anything more is just being greedy or risky.
