Week 8

1) USF's Game

THU 10/18 - #2 USF (6-0, 1-0) at #33 Rutgers (4-2, 1-1)

As mulheap said at the game today: This isn't a rivalry. It's a beat down.

2) Games involving one or more schools on USF's 2006 schedule.

FRI 10/19 - Louisville (4-3, 1-1) at #35 Connecticut (5-1, 1-0)  - 8:00pm [ESPN]

SAT 10/20 - #23 Cincinnati (6-1, 1-1) at Pittsburgh (2-4, 0-1) - 12:00pm [bIG EAST GOTW | GAMEPLAN]

SAT 10/20 - Elon (4-2, 2-1) at Wofford (6-1, 3-0) - 1:30pm

SAT 10/20 - Mississippi State (4-3, 1-3) at #9 West Virginia (5-1, 1-1) - 3:30pm [GAMEPLAN]

SAT 10/20 - Buffalo (3-4, 3-1) at Syracuse (1-6, 1-2) - 4:00pm [ESPNU]

SAT 10/20 - Tulsa (4-2, 2-1) at Central Florida (3-3, 1-1) - 4:00pm

SAT 10/20 - Florida Atlantic (3-3, 2-0) at Louisiana-Lafayette (1-6, 1-2) - 5:00pm [ESPN Regional]

SAT 10/20 - #18 Auburn (5-2, 3-1) at #5 LSU (6-1, 2-1) - 9:00pm [ESPN]

IDLE: North Carolina (2-5, 1-2)

3) Games involving Notre Dame because of its ties to Big East bowl games.

SAT 10/20 - #13 Southern California (5-1, 3-1) at Notre Dame (1-6) - 3:30pm [NBC]

NOTE: Chances are Notre Dame will not be bowl eligible.  Once Notre Dame is not eligible, we won't need to watch their games.

4) Games involving at least one team ranked higher than the 2nd highest Big East team.

If the highest and 2nd highest teams can move up and up the polls, then there is at least a chance that 2 Big East teams could make the 10 BCS slots.  Big East ranks: BCS #2 USF, BCS #9 West Virginia

SAT 10/20 - Vanderbilt (3-3, 1-3) at #6 South Carolina (6-1, 3-1) - 12:30pm [LINCOLN FINANCIAL]

SAT 10/20 - #4 Oklahoma (5-1, 2-1) at Iowa State (1-6, 0-3) - 12:30pm [FSN]

SAT 10/20 - Michigan State (5-2, 1-2) at #1 Ohio State (7-0, 3-0) - 3:30pm [ABC | GAMEPLAN]

SAT 10/20 - #14 Florida (4-2, 2-2) at #8 Kentucky (6-1, 2-1) - 3:30pm [CBS]

SAT 10/20 - #7 Oregon (5-1, 2-1) at Washington (2-4, 0-2) - 7:30pm [FSN]

5) Games involving a Top 12 non-BCS team, or a Top 16 non-BCS team ranked higher than any BCS conference's highest ranked team.

If no teams from the non-BCS conferences make the BCS, then that would mean 4 at-large slots in the 5 BCS bowls.  This increases the chances for 2 Big East teams to be selected.

No Mid-Major Team is ranked in the Top 12 or ahead of the lowest BCS conference leader (BCS #8 Arizona State ).  Highest ranked non-BCS team: BCS #18 Hawaii

IDLE: #17 Hawaii (7-0, 4-0)

6) Other games of interest, including teams ranked near USF.

USF is #2 in the AP poll.

SAT 10/20 - #10 California (5-1, 2-1) at UCLA (4-2, 3-0) - 3:30pm [ABC | GAMEPLAN]

SAT 10/20 - Miami, FL (4-3, 1-2) at #36 Florida State (4-2, 0-2) - 3:30pm [ABC | GAMEPLAN]

SAT 10/20 - #22 Texas Tech (6-1, 2-1) at #15 Missouri (5-1, 1-1) - 3:30pm [ABC]

SAT 10/20 - #15 Kansas (6-0, 2-0) at Colorado (4-3, 2-1) - 5:30pm

IDLE: #3 Boston College (7-0, 3-0), #11 Virginia Tech (6-1, 3-0), #12 Arizona State (7-0, 4-0)

Ranks used are AP rankings.

My hopes again, FWIW

Week 8

1) USF's Game

THU 10/18 - #2 USF (6-0, 1-0) at #33 Rutgers (4-2, 1-1)  Do I need to state a reason

As mulheap said at the game today: This isn't a rivalry. It's a beat down.

2) Games involving one or more schools on USF's 2006 schedule.

FRI 10/19 - Louisville (4-3, 1-1) at #35 Connecticut (5-1, 1-0)  - 8:00pm [ESPN] Maybe UConn can make it bake into the top 25

SAT 10/20 - #23 Cincinnati (6-1, 1-1) at Pittsburgh (2-4, 0-1) - 12:00pm [bIG EAST GOTW | GAMEPLAN] Need them to be as high as possible

SAT 10/20 - Elon (4-2, 2-1) at Wofford (6-1, 3-0) - 1:30pm  Phoenix just knocked off #21 Ga Southern

SAT 10/20 - Mississippi State (4-3, 1-3) at #9 West Virginia (5-1, 1-1) - 3:30pm [GAMEPLAN] Hoping for 2 BCS teams this year

SAT 10/20 - Buffalo (3-4, 3-1) at Syracuse (1-6, 1-2) - 4:00pm [ESPNU]  Supporting the Big East

SAT 10/20 - Tulsa (4-2, 2-1) at Central Florida (3-3, 1-1) - 4:00pm  Helps our SOS

SAT 10/20 - Florida Atlantic (3-3, 2-0) at Louisiana-Lafayette (1-6, 1-2) - 5:00pm [ESPN Regional]  See above

SAT 10/20 - #18 Auburn (5-2, 3-1) at #5 LSU (6-1, 2-1) - 9:00pm [ESPN]  Two-fold, gets LSU off our back and increases our SOS

IDLE: North Carolina (2-5, 1-2)

3) Games involving Notre Dame because of its ties to Big East bowl games.

SAT 10/20 - #13 Southern California (5-1, 3-1) at Notre Dame (1-6) - 3:30pm [NBC]  Torn on this one, I still think ND will lose another game.

NOTE: Chances are Notre Dame will not be bowl eligible.  Once Notre Dame is not eligible, we won't need to watch their games.

4) Games involving at least one team ranked higher than the 2nd highest Big East team.

If the highest and 2nd highest teams can move up and up the polls, then there is at least a chance that 2 Big East teams could make the 10 BCS slots.  Big East ranks: BCS #2 USF, BCS #9 West Virginia

SAT 10/20 - Vanderbilt (3-3, 1-3) at #6 South Carolina (6-1, 3-1) - 12:30pm [LINCOLN FINANCIAL]  Although SC stills has a game against UF

SAT 10/20 - #4 Oklahoma (5-1, 2-1) at Iowa State (1-6, 0-3) - 12:30pm [FSN]  Unfortunately Iowa St is bad

SAT 10/20 - Michigan State (5-2, 1-2) at #1 Ohio State (7-0, 3-0) - 3:30pm [ABC | GAMEPLAN]  Real possibility

SAT 10/20 - #14 Florida (4-2, 2-2) at #8 Kentucky (6-1, 2-1) - 3:30pm [CBS]  UK is getting a lot of love right now

SAT 10/20 - #7 Oregon (5-1, 2-1) at Washington (2-4, 0-2) - 7:30pm [FSN]  Unlikely

5) Games involving a Top 12 non-BCS team, or a Top 16 non-BCS team ranked higher than any BCS conference's highest ranked team.

If no teams from the non-BCS conferences make the BCS, then that would mean 4 at-large slots in the 5 BCS bowls.  This increases the chances for 2 Big East teams to be selected.

No Mid-Major Team is ranked in the Top 12 or ahead of the lowest BCS conference leader (BCS #8 Arizona State ).  Highest ranked non-BCS team: BCS #18 Hawaii

IDLE: #17 Hawaii (7-0, 4-0)

6) Other games of interest, including teams ranked near USF.

USF is #2 in the AP poll.

SAT 10/20 - #10 California (5-1, 2-1) at UCLA (4-2, 3-0) - 3:30pm [ABC | GAMEPLAN]  If the freshman plays, this could happen

SAT 10/20 - Miami, FL (4-3, 1-2) at #36 Florida State (4-2, 0-2) - 3:30pm [ABC | GAMEPLAN]  No preference

SAT 10/20 - #22 Texas Tech (6-1, 2-1) at #15 Missouri (5-1, 1-1) - 3:30pm [ABC]  Just picking the lower ranked team

SAT 10/20 - #15 Kansas (6-0, 2-0) at Colorado (4-3, 2-1) - 5:30pm  If Kansas keeps winning, they could move up quickly
