djg0017 726 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Clemson loss won’t hurt AU because nobody will doubt that Clemson is still better team than Cuse.. Just another ranked team ahead of us that will go down in the rankings. Agree with everybody, win out and we are in. Still possible with one more loss — if it’s to the right team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 listened to discussion on Sirius today....question: which undefeated team goes down to defeat this weekend? Answer.....nobody mentioned Clemson.....though this game is a long way from over and generally one can count on a team like 'cuse to make a disastrous mistake at the time it hurts the most. But....anyone have some thoughts on that .....maybe WSU later on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the exact recipe for an upset even though I think the talent gap is pretty substantial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arizona State has been known to channel their inner Tuberville and beat teams they have no business beating, but I think they would need Washington's help to do it. Cal's two FBS wins were against North Carolina and Ole Miss (neither of which are worth hanging your hat on). They did basically nothing against Washington, and I suspect Wazzou jumps on them. Gary Patterson's good TCU teams tend to only lose to other good teams. Miami is definitely vulnerable. If Clemson pulls out the win, I think Miami is the most likely to go down.

Miami is not a great team, but they do not have to be, as Georgia Tech is not either. Mark Richt's record against Georgia Tech leads me to favor his team.

Smoke is the issue....some kind of air quality standard...minimum is required by NCAA...it was apparently barely OK earlier in the day. Meanwhile, Clemson, like most teams is no better than it's QB and without Bryant, they are pretty meek Tigers on offense. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wazzou being undefeated in October, with a win over a top 5 team, is a substantial achievement in itself. Their defense is the best I have ever seen from a Mike Leach team at Texas Tech or Wazzou. It is hard to say whether it is actually good, but it might just be good enough. When an Air Raid team gets going, a defense that can provide a few timely stops is all it takes to win the shootout they expect every game to be. I think their defense might be good enough to keep the game close when their offense struggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
