I think BCS Championship game will be Bama or LSU vs USC.


Make that LSU vs USC.

TN will knock Bama out of consideration.

their schedule could be too soft to even make the title game

they have to hope VT, clemson, & UF look pretty good to the voters

If FSU went undefeated, there's absolutely no way (unless like four or five other Big Six teams went 12-0 as well) they'd be left out.

Also, this year doesn't look like there's going to be many undefeateds. Maybe Houston does it again if we're talking non-AQ schools. FSU and LSU are the only two teams I think end up 12-0, and even then LSU could easily drop one to Arky/UF/Bama. It'll be tough for anyone in the SEC (especially a team in the West) to go undefeated this year.

This. I hate to call them overrated, because they usually end up having a very good season, but hearing them in national title discussion every single year is getting old.

FSU had a super soft schedule in '11 (record of FBS teams played was 76-76) and went 8-4 against it, 3-3 against teams with winning records. FSU averaged 5 losses/season over the last 7 years and I just can't see them suddenly going undefeated.

So he has us 3rd in the east behind Ga and Fla. If we win on September 15th we switch spots with the Gators.

Hopefully we break out GA Dome losing streat vs NC State. Not only do we lose in the GA Dome but usually get beatdown. Time to end that streak and play there and win twice this year.

If we're going to the Chicken Bowl, that means we've either hit 8 wins, or we could hit 8 wins with the win.

Would that keep Dooley around?
