Baylor vs Okie State, Michigan State vs The Buckeyes, TCU vs Oklahoma... All big games for the Irish. Personally I think Baylor wins, Buckeyes beat Sparty, and Oklahoma wins big. However, I think JH and Michigan beat Ohio State two weeks from now. It is going to be a damn good game. Thoughts?
 
I agree with Baylor, Ohio State, and OU though I'm not sure it will be that big if Boykin comes back. I think Michigan will have an excellent shot and its at Michigan too.

I think there's a very real chance that OSU loses and Iowa loses in the conference title game knocking out the B10 from the playoffs. I don't see how Ohio State or Michigan State makes it in if they don't even win their division (I know that's not a prerequisite to get in though).

None of it matters. 11-1 ND is in. If Ohst or Bama loses it just means ND moves up a spot to #3 or #2.

I wish people weren't so arrogant when it comes to ND. ND is not getting in over undefeated Clemson, Okie State, Ohio State, and a one loss Bama team. Nor should they except for possibly Bama, but we know that's not happening.
 
I think if ND wins out things will work out for them. UNC could beat CU, tOSU could lose and OK St could lose as well. There's a long ways to go and there will be several one loss teams.
 
Don't believe Baylor wins with their frosh qb. He's good and will potentially be great but I think the lemon booty gets the best of him

I hate to disagree with you SAL, but I feel there is a zero percent chance Oklahoma State wins that game. Okay, maybe a little more than 0%, but not much. Oklahoma State has caught a world of breaks this year and in my opinion, they are definitely overrated. Guess we'll see how it pans out this weekend.

Not sure that's being arrogant. It's being a fan and repeating what many people think is a logical and reasonable philosophy. If we are currently #4 and win out, why shouldn't we think we can remain there? I'm not looking to debate all of the same arguments already beaten to death, I'm simply saying this line of thinking isn't arrogance.

You can think they will be in at 11-1. Nothing wrong with that. Its acting like 11-1 is a guarantee to be in is what's arrogant.

The breaks can go either way. Sometimes a team is just hot and the other is not. I could see Baylor experiencing a let down losing to OU and the frosh trying to do to much. Okie St has a lot of experience which is key in making sure you capitalize when you get those breaks.
 
MSU is always getting hot vs OSU.I think MSU will try to stop OSU's run..
MSU upset OSU
Baylor beat Oklahoma State
TCU beat Oklahoma
Oh that is my dreamero_O

Did you read what he posted, Ohio State plAYS MSU, UM AND probably Iowa. That is tough set of games, I actually hope Iowa loses one going into the OSU game. and i hope OSU loses to MSU or UM. We are in if that happens (of course if we beat BC and stanford ) That is one way we get in.

Yeah, I read it. He didn't provide any support for his statement. Just said that it doesn't matter. 11-1 is in. That's arrogant. I actually posted a couple spots above about me liking our chances. That's not the issue. Its the automatic assumption that ND gets in at 11-1 which is not going to happen of those teams win out.
