    I doubt that is going to happen. ND isnt leapfrogging anyone in the human polls with the pitt performance, and the computers are only going to get worse for them as their remaining schedule is fairly weak.

    I hope not and they shouldn't, but I just keep thinking they will find a way to jump them and screw over K-State or Oregon if they all end up undefeated.

    Re: LSU piddled that away

    I honestly believe that with LSU basically out of the national title race, Les Miles threw that game to ensure an SEC title appearance, because they root for each that much. No, I'm not joking. It was really obvious that they did not want to win that game.
    In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.

    I thought maybe Les had money on Bama.

    Oregon is going to beat whoever they play. That's my prediction.

    Re: LSU piddled that away

    Les Miles has got to be one of the worst game managers I have seen coaching an elite program. Can you imagine what LSU would have done with a coach who doesn't make such boneheaded calls?

    This might be the single dumbest post I've ever read on CF, if indeed you seriously believe that.

    The sheer stupidity of Miles's decisions has to make a guy wonder. He probably didn't actually throw the game, but if you look at the insanity of SEC culture, I really wouldn't put anything past it.

    Interesting thought. Not sure if I would believe that it happened but it is really interesting

    See my above post. I don't really believe it, but I don't think its a stupid point to ponder.

    Re: LSU piddled that away

    Les Miles made me sick watching this game. So many boneheaded calls. The first faked fg attempt for example. It was like no one was paying attention that BAMA was in soft prevent a fake coverage, but we are going to do it anyhow, and it was like 12 yards or something. Not to mention some of the offensive play calls had me scratching my head. That loss isn't on the players, it is squarely on the coaching staff.

    Yesterday was certainly a bummer with Bama and ND pulling them out in the end, and of course OU winning.

    Yeah that was quite the unfortunate shot of Les.

    Props to Alabama and the true #1 ranked team.

    Going a little hard on les miles I think. He beat bama last year. He's a risky coach. Sometimes he makes bad calls, sometimes he goes 13-0.
