I'll never pull for UCF as long as they are in the east.  If they are undefeated when we go to Orlando then so be it; but it won't be from my good wishes.

Preach!

So you think #24 NC State beating #17 Louisville will make NC State jump up 7 spots?  I just don't see it, unless it's a massive blowout.

I think we drop a few spots simply by being on bye. If we drop 3 spots and they raise 4 spots. Yes, they'll jump us.

I doubt we'd drop 3 spots, but hey it's the AP, you never know.

Yeah totally on board with this, i'd much rather UCF lost a couple so that game became meaningless. Call me a wimp, whatever, i like the sure thing. And as long as UCF is undefeated, even if they have 1 loss, its no sure thing.

It's never a sure thing with rivalry games, especially away ones.

(17) Louisville at (24) NC State

Ole Miss at (12) Auburn

(11) Washington State at Oregon

(23) West Virginia at (8) TCU

(13) Miami at FSU

LSU at (21) Florida

Maryland at (10) Ohio St

(16) VaTech at Boston College

Michigan St at (7) Michigan

Stanford at (20) Utah

(19) San Diego St at UNLV

Air Force at Navy

SMU at Houston

(25)UCF at Cincinnati (I'll pull for UCF until SDSU loses)

Good list but I'd change it to West Virginia beating TCU. We need less undefeated teams. 

I'd cheer for Utah to beat Stanford bc you know they'll lose again, and sdsu having a weaker schedule helps us. 

And Cincy to beat UCF. I'm down for cheering for UCF out of conference, but in conference, F them. Cincy is on our schedule too guys. I feel like some of you have UCF jerseys in your closets or something!

It's likely that a TCU loss wouldn't put them below us, but it gives WVU a, "quality" win.

I agree on the Utah over Stanford now they I've thought about it more.

Until SDSU loses, we need the teams on our schedule to be ranked as high as possible.  UCF is already 25.  Once SDSU loses, I'll root against UCF again.

That looks really good! Great that we are playing two of the teams on that list.

Well, we KNOW that UCF is playing two of those teams.

In our case, we HOPE to be playing two of those teams.
