That game is @ GT

Pitt is going to win that game. GT defense is god awful. Gave up 500+ to BC.

I watched the whole ND Pitt game. It wasn’t as bad as the score indicated. Pitt was outclassed by the ND secondary. GT can’t do that to them.

Bet the over too.

TrumpyCane thinks we want Duke to have 2 losses so the tiebreakers benefit us

Could be wrong but we basically need 2 of the 3 to happen

VT to beat UVA
SMU to lose to UL or Cal
GT to lose to Pitt

We benefit being tied with 2 losses because our conference opponents were stronger than everyone elses
 
I feeling great about the following:

Pitt beating GT
Louisville beating SMU

I’m feeling slightly optimistic about the following:

Kentucky beating Vandy
Cincinnati beating BYU

I’m feeling less than optimistic about:

Missouri beating OU
UNC beating Duke

Anything else seems like a pipe dream. Wtf happened to K-State? They used to be formidable.

Yeah, he has no choice to take this game serious, which I think he will. Would have been nice if he cared about the ND game. A coach shouldn't have been saying what he was saying before the ND game. Technically, he wasn't wrong, but words like that have to play into the psyche of the team.

Duke has 2 losses, TrumpyCane thinks it doesn't matter anymore since we win the tiebreaker over them

I think people are underrating the odds of Mizzou upsetting OU. Yes, game is in Norman, but OUs offense is Mateer and that's it.

Based on the current line, Mizzou has ~25% chance to upset them.

1 in 4 times this game is played, we get the upset we need.

Can this be a letdown spot after that big win yesterday this late in the season with so much on the line? Is Mizzou motivated to just be a spoiler, when they had playoff hopes coming into the season?

It’s a tough ask with a backup QB bc Oklahoma is the No. 1 rush defense in the country. But Hardy is a beast and Eli is a great coach.

Cross your fingers and hope for the best.

Missouri looked yesterday, beat Miss State by 21+

TrumpyCane thinks they have a shot but TrumpyCane thinks LSU has a better shot
 
BYU went from +3.5 to -2. Not home so not sure what happened. That’s a wild move on a Sunday. I checked Twitter and doesn’t look like sorsby is hurt.

OU -9.5
Vandy -9.5

Pitt moved in our favor, the rest moved against us.
 
I know that Syracuse is Hot, steaming garbage and I know that their coach needs a shower in the worst way (because of his pledge), but perhaps the pull off the biggest upset since NIU agains the Little Irish Folks last year?

A guy can dream, can't he?

Go Canes.

We don’t need them to win, but if they can make that game ugly, it helps us. It’s another common opponent we can use to compare our resume to theirs.

So far….

We won the head to head.

We beat NC State by more.

ND plays Cuse and Stanford to end the year. If we beat all of those teams by more, it really helps our case.
