Roll Tide!!!! Texas Tech falls. Shockley Injured

My Tar Heels beat a ranked Virginia team yesterday.  Sure, the final score was 7-5....but it was a win none-the-less [Florida State couldn't beat 'em!].  It isn't enough to place them in my New Top 12.  Here are the teams that do. 

1-TEXAS.  Busted T-Tech's bubble in a big way
2-USC.  Ho, hum.  A win in the Emerald City. 
3-VIRGINIA TECH.  Still waiting to be tested.
4-GEORGIA.  They hope Shockley will be back soon.
5-ALABAMA.  They needed a horrible fumble into the endzone by the Vols to stay undefeated. 
6-UCLA.  They are starting to look really legit.
7-NOTRE DAME.  BYU is a cupcake compared to the Irish's recent schedule.
8-MIAMI.  I want to see how they'll deal with the Hokies
9-LSU.  Ended Auburn's 13-game SEC winning streak
10-PENN STATE.  Bounced back with a dominating win vs Illinois.  Don't dismiss it. 
11-FLORIDA STATE.  Took their anger out on Duke.  Pick on someone your own size!
12-NORTHWESTERN.  No, not really.  But they may end up winning the Big Ten Conference.  Wow. 

BCS WATCH!!!  Right now, here are my 8 BCS Bowl teams:  USC, Texas, Virginia Tech, Georgia, Penn State, West Virginia, Alabama, Notre Dame.  Why??  Well, I feel that USC will beat UCLA for the Pac-10 crown.....Texas will win the Big XII South and romp over whomever the North puts out there.....V-Tech will beat Miami in a few weeks and then beat Florida State in the 1st ACC title game.....Georgia has the SEC East race all but wrapped up.  I do think they'll beat the LSU-Alabama winner in the SEC title game....God knows who will win the Big Ten, it could be Northwestern.  I think when it all shakes out, Penn State will take the title....West Virginia, right now, looks to be the best team in the Big East, and they've taken care of Louisville already....I don't really like Alabama, but I think they'll beat LSU in a great game on Nov 12, and possibly get their first loss in the SEC championship to Georgia.  Either way, if all goes as planned, their final 3 games are LSU, at Auburn and then Georgia....Notre Dame has navigated thru such a tough sked.  They play their next 3 games at home [Tennessee, Navy, Syracuse] before ending in Stanford.  Only the Vols game do I see any problem, and UT has problems of their own

So why not certain teams??  I think that UCLA's loss to USC at the end of the year may slide them out of the race.....Florida State may have 3 more losses in the tank.  They have the rivalry game at Florida to end the season, but they also have a really tough game at Clemson before it.  Add in the ACC title game against Virginia Tech, and this may be a 9-3 team....Miami may get only 2 losses, but it will be in both their biggest games.  I think V-Tech takes them out in two weeks which puts the Canes out of the Coastal division title....Texas Tech has a shot, since they dealt with Texas already, in a loss.  They only have Texas A&M and Oklahoma remaining.  I think they lose one of those, and get knocked out of the BCS race...Really, anyone can still win the Big Ten

Michigan State has completely crumbled since that blocked FG at the end of the 1st half versus Ohio State.  How do you get pummelled at home to Northwestern 49-14???....Tennessee already has THREE losses this year [Florida, Georgia, Alabama].  If not for a big comeback against LSU, they'd be 2-4 right now with Notre Dame on the horizon......Is Chuck D'Amato feeling any heat lately??  Losing to rival Wake Forest like that doesn't help....
