Blech. I think it's a 2 day boating weekend for me.
-
After last Saturday's pants-soiling, there is no such thing as a cupcake for a PJ-led Gopher team.
-
I'll point out that Texas-Kansas is the only undefeated vs. undefeated, ranked vs. ranked game, for the entire weekend. I am certain you will all tune in for this week's Big Game.

Most of us probably will. That game has a big advantage of being up against not much.
-
Maryland also has a cupcake home game.

I hope to be on the golf course

Thank God it isn't on Bevo TV, some of us can watch it now.
-
I'll flip it on if BEVO is trailing in the 2nd half

Utah at Oregon State is both ranked, but not both UND, as is ND at Duke.
Florida at UK is interesting I think. I'm interested in how UGA handles a raucus crowd on the Plains.
-
I'm interested in the chance that Nebraska might cover the 81 point spread
a real test for the Husker run defense and a test of the Husker running game on offense
I think the run defense might be decent
the offensive run game will rely on the QB making some runs

The worst thing about the Buckeyes playing Notre Dame is that now I feel compelled to root for them the rest of the way for SoS purposes.
-
don't do it
just stay undefeated and it doesn't matter

Ya know I understand the premise but if find that directed at kids who are actually students kind of irksome not by you personally but in general. These kids apply to how many different schools and some get offered schollie's. Never quite knowing perhaps the extent that they would be made sacrificial lambs for the Athletic Departments to garner some xtra cash. While they get black eyes,fat lips,headaches and curbstomped. Those cupcakes would grind us in our primes to dust and stomp mudholes in our backsides for good measure. Just so we're clear on all that :cheer:

ND probably will be 9-3 or 10-2, maybe 11-1 of course, and any of those gives you a nice road win.

There is no hoping, I will be on the golf course

weather permitting

I get it but it is what it is.

It is not what it is not ...

Keep playing I don't think the heavy stuff will be coming down for quite awhile

There is still a big difference between those. For reference in last year's final pre-bowl AP Poll, the 1-loss P5's were:
The 2-loss P5's were:
- #5 10-2 Bama
- #6 10-2 TN
- #8 11-2 USC
- #9 10-2 PSU
- #10 10-2 Clemson
- #12 10-2 Washington
The 3-loss P5's were:
- #7 10-3 Utah, Pac Champ
- #11 10-3 KSU, B12 Champ
- #13 9-3 FSU
- #15 9-3 Oregon
- #17 9-3 OrSU
- #18 9-3 UCLA
Notre Dame was 8-4 and #19. The only 4-loss team ahead of them was 9-4 SECCG loser LSU at #16.
So based on last year:
- 11-1 ND is #5
- 10-2 ND is probably #9.
- 9-3 ND is probably #14.

Golf Sunday this weekend for me... Saturday is Les Mis...

So based on last year:
- 11-1 ND is #5
- 10-2 ND is probably #9.
- 9-3 ND is probably #14.
I think any of those qualifies are an elite road win unmatched by most teams you might be ranked against.
