In terms of rooting interest, here is where I am at:
1. SU to win all remaining games.
2. UO to do likewise and play in NC.
3. BSU to go undefeated, and
4. OSU (The one in the midwest) to lose at least once and not win the Big-10.
That way we get Oregon and Boise (likely) in the NC game and a brobdingnagian chuckle about how those "West Coasters" don\'t play real football.
We likely get into the Rose Bowl and, ideally, play someone like MSU. I suppose it would be more fun to beat the Buckeyes. I just don\'t like them. Maybe I just can\'t get that image out of my head of Woody Hayes slugging the Clemson player.
OTOH, if the Buckeyes make it through their brutal schedule, I\'d love to see the Ducks run by them and us vs. Boise for the roses.
However, with Foles, Katz, Gribsby, Threet, Locker, and Vereen on the schedule, we have some formidable obstacles in front of us, so let\'s take them a game at a time.
