Oregon isn't going to lose to Stanford.

If you guys can beat USC is a big question. On the road, in what will surely be a game they will be up for, as I'm sure they would love to spoil your season. I think you guys go down there, but it's been a great season.

There are two teams in the top 10 that ND absolutely has no chance of being within 17 points of at the end of the game.

They happen to be K State and especially Oregon.

The vaunted ND defense would be badly exposed.

alabama losing should illustrate perfectly to everyone that any team can lose at any time.

Finally, fine work by Danny.


Although it has been proven long before 'Nana's loss.

Those who say, Team A will not beat Team B....are lost in their own high opinions----of themselves.

The key will be who's #4 tomorrow. Notre Dame will be #1, followed by Alabama and Georgia I presume. If Oregon drops to #4, I think the championship will still end up Alabama/Oregon. I think USC beats Notre Dame, even with a backup quarterback. That will knock ND out. The Bama/Georgia loser is out. Oregon's best case scenario is for UCLA to beat Stanford next week. If UCLA beats Stanford and Oregon can close out their schedule with wins against top-15 Oregon St and UCLA, they are back in the title game.

I never thought I'd say this in my lifetime, but i'll be rooting for USC when they lock horns. A Lane Kiffin-led USC team at that. Combine that with the fact I still believe my Birds can turn it around and win the NFC East this year, I should probably be getting fitted for a straitjacket!
