Not so fast. Our SOS is about to take a big hit the next

two weeks. Also, we need AU, FSU and VT to win a lot of games to keep that much of our SOS intact.

Care to elaborate on this, David?

I'm not doubting your credibility, I just haven't had the time to look at the schedules of the teams we've already beaten. All I know is Auburn beating Usuck was awesome for us. Awesome in general.

BC and Md suck, our SOS will decrease the next two weeks

Our strength of schedule is NOT a problem. We've got 5 top

25 teams on the schedule, plus UNC may very well find there way in very soon. That would be six. Doubt anybody in the country plays (and wins) against 7.

two weeks. We won't continue to be number 1 on Massey even if we win. Our SOS will not hurt us once the BCS comes out in a couple weeks

Correct. And as long as AU manages to stay ranked, we'll

be OK. BC, MD, Wake and NCSU are the SOS deadweights. If the coots stay ranked, we'll still have one of the country's toughest schedules. I'd like to see FSU, VT and GT all win 10 games--as long as we beat GT, that is.

BOWL GAME PREDICTIONS

ESPN has already predicted Clemson to win ACC and play in BCS game, however I expect they determine them to not be in Championship game (must be assuming loss or just not enough love).

Well if Bama/LSU go undefeated and Oklahoma/OK St. go undefeated then there is your best match-up in the BCS's mind.
Boise will for sure go undefeated but I still just don't think that they will let them in.

That's what he meant by UA/LSU and OU/OSU. One of each pair will likely go undefeated.

It is in their best interest for secheat to be the teams in the NC. They will try to steer the pundits in that direction, if they can. That said, we can do our part to garner and to keep the attention by whipping the stew out of all of our opponents, including the biddies. That is all we can do, and the rest will take care of itself.

CONCUR...And hope our ACC partners win their out-of-conference games. Will say, that if we get through GT undefeated...Woooooooo!!!! Got NC and GT back to back before a bye. I think the Troy and Wofford attacks should help the defense prep. And as long as Troy and Wofford win their conferences again...it's a plus.
