today said there is only one major BCS conference: the SEC

all the rest at this point are even

he gave lots of props to UL and RU.

said the UL v UM game is critical for BE if UL wins esp sans Bush then that would be a big win for the conference.

[___ Eats It]

It's not enough to beat Miami, now they have to beat them WITHOUT BUSH to prove that they're for real?

What's next?  They have to tie all their hands behind their backs, only use their mouth to throw the ball, and THEN beat Miami in order to be considered legit?

Screw Miami.  I hope Louisville drives a Peterbilt up their asses.

ESPN just loves to take shots at the BE. There is never any love.

The reason Da U will win this game is because they're only weakness, historically, on defense is the other team running up the middle and running QBs. They are too fast for someone to bounce out side on them, and Brohm definitely isn't running anywhere. They have a shut down secondary, and without Bush, Luhlville will be forced to pass.

GO CANES!!!

k squire, how do you explain the Miami loss to FSU?  They didn't run the ball up the middle against the U, and Weatherford certainly can't run himself.  The U is overrated this year, and the L will beat them this weekend.

Go Cards !

Simple. They didn't get a warm-up game as most other 1-A teams do for the first game of the season. Miami was still finding the kinks in their offense, and waiting for the return of their starting running back. After posting 330+ yards just rushing last week, the Canes are now in a groove.

You say it like FSU is a crappy team...I would say you can argue that the #1A and #1B defenses in the nation are Miami's and FSU's. Louisville on the other hand has no defense, and the Miami playmakers will be able to make those big plays against their suspect D. FSU's offense will be the number 1 O in the ACC this year, mark my words. Miami did a hell of a job shutting them down.

Prediction: THE U 31, Luhlville 21

I saw f$u against Troy - not at all impressed.

We had over 300 yards rushing against McNeese State, but I wouldnt say we were in a "groove."

Yes, Miami has a great Defense, but you can't win unless you can score some points. Miami is going to lose at least one more game this year...probably two.
