Which undefeated FBS team(s) lose(s) this week? Sixteen are left.

The only sure thing is that either Florida or LSU will fall. And that SMU needs a breather.

  • Alabama (5-0) at Texas A&M
  • Appalachian State (4-0) at Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns (Wednesday game, 10/9)
  • Baylor (5-0) vs. Texas Tech
  • Boise State (5-0) vs. Hawaii
  • Clemson (5-0) vs. Florida State
  • Florida (6-0) at LSU
  • Georgia (5-0) vs. South Carolina
  • LSU (5-0) vs. Florida
  • Memphis (5-0) at Temple
  • Minnesota (5-0) vs. Nebraska
  • Ohio State (6-0) BYE
  • Oklahoma (5-0) vs.Texas
  • Penn State (5-0) at Iowa
  • SMU (6-0) BYE
  • Wake Forest (5-0) vs. Louisville
  • Wisconsin (5-0) vs. Michigan State

My prediction:
  • LSU wins at home.
  • Temple downs Memphis
  • Nebraska beats Minnesota
  • Louisville beats Wake Forest

I almost wanted to say Minnesota could lose cause I kind of like Nebraska, but they are just so bad.

I would really like to know why Minn has a stronger strength of schedule at this point in the season.

SFA is 1-5
UTSA is 2-3
Rice is 0-6
ISU is 3-2
KSU is 3-2

Our opponents so far have a combined record of 9-18.

SDSU 4-1
Fresno 2-2
GASO 2-3
Purdue 1-4
Illinois 2-3

Minnesota's opponents combined for 11-13.

Our cupcakes were SO BAD that they offset everything.

LSU's Big12 offense vs Gators SEC defense is an outstanding contrast if it unfolds as expected. Why do these amazing QB's keep leaving the State of Texas for other parts? From Manvel to Gainesville.

Trask turned it over two or three times against Auburn. If he does that against LSU the Tigers will score with those gifts.

As part of the SEC crappy divisional scheduling LSU and Florida face each other every year as permanent cross division opponents. Who does Bama get? Tennessee.

Strength of Schedule is an overrated stat. This is a perfect example, While SDSU, Fresno and Ga So are definitely better than SFA, Rice and UTSA but it matters much more that ISU/KSU are better than Purdue/Illinois. Most folks would think there is better chance of Minnesota having a loss against our schedule than there is of us having a loss against Minnesota's schedule. But somehow Minnesota's schedule is "tougher."

It should be about the best teams you have beaten, not the worst.

If I had to choose, I would go with:

Hawaii over Boise State
LSU over Florida
Nebraska over Minnesota
Iowa over Penn State

Me and some friends played in a basketball tournament one weekend and our team captain named us "BYE" so we actually won a game when the other team didn't show up.

Odd tidbit - Wake had a bye week last week and Dave Clawson is 0-6 after bye weeks at Wake.

Not enough time left for Wake, unless it's a BU/TCU game type of finish. We should move into the high teens.

16 teams as of this morning.

Eliminate Georgia, Memphis, Wake and LSU/Florida loser gets it down to 12.

Well, Wake got the onside kick and scored. Unbelievable! 55-52 Louisville up with 3:37 left. Another onside kick coming up!

With a minute to go in the game, LSU has only faced 4 3rd downs for the game. Only 2 punts.

Wake Forest got hosed. Making a great comeback and gets the onside which Louisville strips in the pile.

Certainly looked like the Wake player had it first. Crazy game.
