Plan for the weekend:
Friday - Root for Colorado to beat USC or at least keep it close enough to cast doubt. I highly doubt either of those things will happen but I've seen crazier happen.
Saturday noon - The most important factor of them all - beat Missouri. Keep an eye on Indiana at Ohio St and LSU at Arkansas.
Saturday afternoon - I don't think we NEED Alabama to beat Ole Miss, but Bama running the table would bolster our win against them. At the same time, to witness a downfall would almost make this season that much sweeter. Clemson is probably out of it but it can't hurt recruiting if Louisville can put another arrow in their chest. Will be cheering hard for Nebraska vs Michigan.
Saturday evening - Probably our most important window. We need Washington to beat Oregon. It's going to be a great game anyway, but I'd like to see Oregon's hype brought down a bit by a close game or killed altogether in a loss. We will be rooting hard for Texas to squash TCU. I think that UNC is pretty far outside of the top 8 but they're kind of sneaking their way back into the conversation. Wake winning would pretty much take the ACC out of it entirely. I do think that UNC/WF has potential to be the best game of the night, like the UNC/App game all over again.
Saturday late - Stanford will probably get stomped out by Utah and Arizona is probably going to get stomped out by UCLA, but they call it Pac 12 After Dark for a reason.
One Saturday at a time.
As long as:
A) We keep winning
B) The teams around us keeping taking losses or damage to their resume
We will be fine
