TCU won by 40.
If Stanford goes 11-1 they will play in a BCS bowl. Guaranteed. It just (probably) won't be the Rose.

That would be fine-even though we would likely get killed by a LSU Oklahoma or Michigan State, the experience and exposure would be good
Doesn't the Rose Bowl still have that Big10/Pac 10 matchup? If Oregon goes to the BCS title game, I think they would pick Stanford vs. the Big 10 champ (unless they go to the BCS title game).
I'm a huge OU fan, but we aren't going to kill anybody away from Norman. This team has been atrocious away from home the past few years. Given that our last 3 games include 2 road games (Baylor & OK State), I don't see a BCS game in our future.
Congrats!
Is O'Leary still there?
I guess that is something he can legitimately put on his resume
More on Cam Newton, now revelations of cheating 3 times at Florida
This story just won't go away and gets uglier by the minute
No matter how many times he and his parents say he is innocent, nobody has refuted a charge

OU won't be going to a BCS bowl. LSU or MSU might beat Stanford, but they wouldn't kill them. Stanford is a GOOD team.
I wonder how Chizik is going to spin this one? It's looking more and more like Cam Newton is just a bag of ****.
In other news, CU finally fired Dan Hawkins. After they squandered a 28-point 4th Quarter lead to KU on Saturday, there was a lot of talk up in Boulder that Hawkins knew he was going to get fired and was more interested in getting his son Cody the all-time passing record than he was in winning.

Cool! Although I could have sworn they were ranked back in the Culpepper era when they finished 9-2 one year. Guess it's just old age catching up with me. I remember we played UCF with Culpepper one year and I was amazed watching him. I felt lucky that we pulled out a win.
Sadly, the Big 12 and SEC could put only one team each in the BCS this year. If LSU and Auburn win out, the SEC could have two, but I just don't see two BCS teams in the Big 12.
As far as Auburn: Technically, him cheating at Florida has zero impact at Auburn. However, when combined with all the other stuff going on, you get the dreaded "character issues". Basically, they will say he is a changed man, that being stuck in Jr. College for a year changed his outlook, etc. Gameday did a piece on him earlier this year, and that was the whole vibe on him stealing the laptop and all that. Of course, the amusing part is that he and dad have been saying the whole reason he transferred was that Tim Tebow came back for his senior year, meaning Newton couldn't play until he was a Jr. Oops, guess that wasn't exactly the case. And he still didn't get to play until his Jr. year.
Edit: Forgot to add that someone on an MSU message board posted screen caps from an Auburn message board where someone posted Urban Meyer's home address with a post saying "what do you say we let him know we are up to his little game?". Stay classy, Auburn fans.

Agreed. Nebraska and Oklahoma St. are the only one-loss teams left in the Big 12. I'm not sure either is good enough to win out, but even if one of them does, it will be at the expense of the other in the Big 12 Championship Game. I don't see a two-loss Big 12 team making a BCS bowl this year.
Exactly. The cheating has no real bearing on him now in terms of eligibility or anything, but it just proves that he is a liar. Not only did he apparently lie and cheat repeatedly while he was at Florida (stealing someone else's paper and putting your name on it without their knowledge?!?), but he lied about transferring, too! If he had stayed there a day or two longer, he would have been expelled. I bet we next find out that his dad got a new car (or house or something) shortly after he committed to Auburn.
Congrats!

Yes, O'Leary is still at UCF. I was concerned when they hired him, but he has done well at UCF. My family had season tickets to the UCF games before we moved to Colorado. Our last year there, UCF went winless. He survived that and has been doing fairly well since then.
About damn time they fired Hawkins. The debacle at Kansas was bad enough, but Colorado hasn't won a road game in over 2 years!
Yeah, Dante was the beginning of UCF's climb in football. I remember traveling to Tallahassee to play FSU. The Seminoles scored the first touchdown, but UCF stormed right back to tie the game. You could have heard a pin drop in the stadium. It was awesome.
While the whole Florida fiasco for Cam Newton may not affect his current eligibility, it does say a lot about the guy IMHO. He has been spun as a changed man, but certainly his lies keep building and building, and where there is smoke, there is fire. Makes me wonder about the truth of the whole money thing a lot more, and I am sure the NCAA will be interested in all of it.
In addition, while it may not affect his eligibility, it could very well affect the Heisman voting. The Reggie Bush tarnish is quite fresh, and knowingly voting in a bag of hurt could really damage the Heisman image.
It could also affect his decision to stay or bail after one year at Auburn.
More importantly, it could provide a significant distraction this week prior to the Dawg's game with the Tigers

All speculation at this point.

Awesome
And on the Hawkins firing... I am guessing he has no plans to coach an intramural team anywhere
One of the all time great rants
Right up there with:
"Practice... we talkin' bout practice"
"Playoffs? Playoffs?"
"I'm a man, I'm 40"

You know, one of the reasons I love college football is the absolute insanity of it all. For instance, some University of Mississippi Reb...err Bears fans got on a Colorado fan board and started saying they should hire Dan Mullen as their next coach. It's good to have a coach who is hated by his rivals. Oh wait, they say we aren't their real rivals.
Also, someone from an Alabama board did some digging around and posted Cam Newton's record while he was at Florida. It seems he has a problem with red lights and speed limits. He had 12 traffic violations from 2007-2008, including speeding, running a red light, and driving without a license. People digging up that kind of info is either deeply saddening or vastly entertaining. I can't decide which.
Both
Not sure what is says about you... digging around on Colorado boards, Ole Miss boards, Alabama boards... sheesh
Looks like Newton is the anti-Tebow, the evil twin
In the words of Al Davis... "just win baby!"

Nah, all that stuff just gets posted to MSU boards. I don't know what all those folks are doing on other boards, especially the ones that require registration or pay boards. But I'll still read it all. I REALLY don't know what an MSU person was doing reading the Colorado boards.

Might I add, "...I want WINNERS! I want people who wanna WIN!"

I think two of my favorites came from Jim Mora.
"We couldn't do diddly-poo offensively. We couldn't make a first down. We didn't run the ball. We didn't try to run the ball. We couldn't complete a pass. We sucked."
And, of course:
"Playoffs? Don't talk about playoffs!"
Him and John McKay were great for quotes. Check out some of the better Jim Mora quotes here.

Even more on Cam Newton. This guy and his dad are really, really starting to look like real pieces of garbage.
if it turns out Aburn pull that off I go wiht death sentance should be pulled out. Make an example out of the school and prove that NCAA will not give the big guys just a slap on the wrist because if that is all they get then they are not really going to stop.
In the words of Nelson from the Simpsons: HA-HA!
Don't want your son to be a "rented mule" at MSU, eh Mr. Newton? I guess the truth is that we weren't willing to pay him to be the rented mule.

I know, I know, it is all speculation, accusations and such about Newton
And "innocent until proven guilty"
But still, way too much smoke to not be some serious fire here
Auburn could be in some deep poo here
