Navy # 16 USC # 23 Stanford # 11

The Irish are definitely in when they win out ..

Navy will be in the Top 10 if they win out and I don't see Tulsa, Houston or Army stopping their triple option.

Stanford would be back in the top 10 if they win out (EXCEPT FOR THR IRISH GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

USC would be in the top 15 if they win out.

And Pitt and Temple are solid wins especially if they win out.

If Iowa wins out Notre Dame stays in because Ohio State would then be out.

Oklahoma State is weak--- Oklahoma should kill them.

If Ohio State loses to Michigan State or Michigan they are out and if Iowa loses the Championship game the whole big ten is out !!

Go Irish !!
13 and 1 baby !!

correction---USC is #24 not 23 in this weeks rankings.
Beat BC !!

Nothing's definite. Clemson, OK state, and OSU/Iowa have great shots of finishing undefeated. If that happens, it'll be between Notre Dame vs. likely a 1-loss SEC champ in Bama or UF. If Bama wins out, I have a hard time seeing ND jumping them, and if UF wins out they'll have finished the season with back to back wins over FSU and Bama and it'll be tough for the committee to pass on a 1-loss SEC champ who finished the season with those wins. Of course, chances are, some of these teams will drop at least 1 additional game along the way so that scenario is rather unlikely.

Beach does not have too much confidence in the Trojans. i think they beat Oregon and I believe they have 50-50 chance of beating ucla.

To be clear, we probably don't want Stanford to win out and be Top 10.

Sc and Stanford cannot both win out even if you exclude the Irish game. They would meet in the Pac-12 championship as each controls their destiny. Only one could win.

Beach,
Does a Stanford win over Cal put them in the PAC championship game? What does USC have to do? Win out also to get the championship game?

Not sure about Stanford, I think so, and yes SC controls its own destiny. But I doubt we win Saturday much less Saturday and against UCLA.

I had USC at 8-4. Losing to either Oregon or UCLA. UCLA being more probable and as a SOCAL ND fan more favorable. However, Oregon is getting there juice back lately so not sure. It gives me a weird feeling pulling for USC any time but I have been and hope that they split the next two games and finish 8-4 like I projected. I tried watching them against Utah but found myself rooting for Utah so I just don't watch this year and look for the score.

Pretty darn good call by you IMO. Oregon has been playing better and we have been hit by the injury bug (we are on out third team center, down several Wr etc) the bug hit you guys early, us late. I don't think we can beat the Ducks. UCLA v Utah figured to be a close game until (as announced today) Booker went down for the season. He he is their offense, UCLA should win.

You know Beach, we could use a little more optimism from you.

Tighten up.
