Will the Big East Champion have a shot at the national title this year?

[Apis Bull]

whoever it may be, with the way that the big east is this year, will any of our teams make it to the big game if they run the table?

not a chance with such a bad SOS

Have you looked at USC's SOS lately?

[Bull Martin]

They might now.  I don't see an SEC team or a Big 12 team running the table.

Of course I don't see us doing it either the way we've been playing, but if we did run the table I think we'd have a shot if there weren't 3 undefeated.

Because of SOS College Football News projects a 1 loss SEC, Big 12 or USC in over USF or UConn.

We lost too many important out of conference games...

[Cow Pie]

No...

The Big East needs to expand, and we need another USF, WV caliber team in the Big East to up our conference SOS... If UConn keeps playing like they have then maybe they could become our own version of Clemson, ASU, or Mississippi State.

Even if we go undefeated it won't matter if USC, UGA has 1 loss, -Or- LSU or OU is undefeated as well.

[Jihme]

no chance

i would hope so,

You mean our SOS of 81 would prevent us from making it, but USC's SOS of 67 would give them a clear shot at it?

Your precious USC's SOS is falling like a rock with every Pac-10 loss, buddy boy.  ;D

[gibbsak]

We can if we go undefeated and there are some Shake ups ahead of us.  Or if we destroy every team we face (win by about 5 TDs or so)

[windbane]

If 2 teams ahead of us go undefeated, then no.  The only 1-loss teams that could stay ahead are Georgia, Texas-Oklahoma after 2 weeks from now if the loser doesn't drop below us, UF (ahead in Harris poll), and USC.  UF and Georgia should lose again and USC's schedule isn't any better than USF's and actually could be worse.  I hope Kansas can beat the winner of UT-OU and Mizzou.

It's entirely possible and anyone that doesn't think so at this point is uninformed, imo.

If Beano says it...it'll never happen :
