CFB Week 12 running thread

So here's a thought...know who really isn't going to fill all its bowls? The SEC.

I'm assuming Bama/UF will avoid losses on their way to the SECCG. Winner goes to the MNC game, loser should still get a Sugar Bowl nod. Georgia looks OK for the Capital One Bowl, LSU stays out west for the Cotton. Spurrier makes his return to a NYD bowl at the Outback.

After this, you've got the Chick-fil-A Bowl, the Music City Bowl, the Liberty Bowl, the Independence Bowl, and the Papajohns.com Bowl. Kentucky has 6 wins, so they're set. Ole Miss is 5-4 and can get to 6 wins with a win over UL-Monroe or in the Egg Bowl...so they're OK. Auburn is 5-5 and will have to beat either Georgia or Alabama...so they're not so OK. Vanderbilt once again has 5 wins and is still looking for 6. You'd assume they could get that against Tennessee...but they could have done it against Miss. State or Duke, too. Arkansas has to win out, including a game against LSU, so no.

Not sure who out of Ole Miss/UK you choose if you're the Chick-Fil-A Bowl. Music City is likely praying CFA will choose UK. Until Vanderbilt actually does it once, I'll believe 6 wins when I see 'em. And everyone else is toast.

I have one son at Ole Miss and the other one lives in Atlanta.
Chick-Fil-A Fever grips my family, king!

Man, I ate so many meals at the CFA in the Union. It's unnatural, really.

PS: Stop making Ole Miss references. You're making me homesick

I might blow up to Mangino-like proportions if I had constant access to Chik-Fil-A.

Ahhh. The good ol' number one.

Best fastfood you can ever find, ever. And the chicken biscuits for breakfast, ohhhhhhh lordy!

Cracks me up how the first top-25 action will be in about 30 hours with Ball State at Miami (Ohio). Might as well start the week with the best team in the country.

Figures a jayhawk fan would stop with the chicken references

 

[Paper Dragon]

The problem with Chick-Fil-A is it's so damn expensive. It cost me nearly $30 to feed my family take-out from there the other day. We can have a sit-down dinner at Applebee's for that.

Of course.

I would say Cincinnati is prime for a major letdown, but they get Louisville this Friday night. While I think the teams' talent levels are similar, Cincy has a distinct advantage in that they actually have a coach. Maybe not for much longer, but he won't leave before the end of the season.

This game also has probably the least known rivalry trophy -- The Keg of Nails. Cincy can take the keg Friday, but I'm assuming Louisville fans will want to keep the nails.

How many people are you feeding? Isn't the Good ol Number One like $5? Meanwhile, the average meal for one person at Applebees or any of those kind of places is what, $7-8?

Is South Carolina/Florida really the best game this week? Outside of Buffalo/Akron of course.

It's a pretty crappy weekend on the docket - how bad is it? I'm looking forward to Oregon State - Cal.

 

[User 1019]

Hell, the way Bama plays, that game may not be too bad.

 

[derwood]

Washington will beat UCLA at home.

Even so, I personally am excited to see my school getting a shot at No. 1 this weekend.
Mississippi State has won two straight over the Tide already, but never have the Bulldogs won 3 straight.
The game is at T-Town and for sure it'd be an upset. It's an opportunity, though, that most teams don't get during any given year.
State last played No. 1 in 1998, facing then-top Tennessee in the SEC title game at Atlanta.
Before that, MSU played and beat No. 1-Bama in 1980.

Happy, I'm saying, to be getting an opportunity

6-p.m.-ish, Sat. nite, ESPN.

Even this Ole Miss grad will be pulling for State in that one.
