- With the first BCS poll out its clear that Texas, Alabama, and Florida all control their destiny. Of these Texas appears the shakiest given their computer poll numbers
- If one of these should slip (specifically Texas) there are a few dark horse candidates...specifically Cinci, Iowa, and Boise State. Boise State has probably hit its ceiling as its strength of schedule plummets. Cinci has games against West Virginia and Pitt but might have lost its star QB for the year. Iowa keeps winning - in horrific ugly fashion.
- USC's one chance of getting back into the national title hunt rests with a prime time whooping of Oregon on Halloween. The computers currently hate them.
- With Virginia Tech's loss at G-Tech this week the ACC is wide open with G-Tech, V-Tech, and Murder-Tech (Miami) are all tied with one loss (all in the same division). The winner of the division is awarded to the team with highest BCS spot - which is Miami at the moment.
- Nebraska after all the praise face planted against Texas Tech and thereby all but eliminated themselves from a BCS spot.
- I'm still clueless over the last BCS spot. Right now I'm pencilling Georgia Tech in. They could have a high profile win over Georgia to end the year which might boost them over other potential suitors for the spot.
