OSU looks like a good pick. I may roll with that.

D-III??? Try Division 1-AA. And I hope you realize that App and the other 1-AA powerhouses could beat most non-BCS teams in 1-A. Also, that Michigan team was a mediocre 7-5 squad, so that upset ended up being meaningless in the grand scheme of things. On the other hand, Southern Cal would have gone to the national title game had they not lost to Stanford. The clincher though is the point spread. Never will you see a team win a game that they are over 40 point underdogs again.

fair enough. and i will admit that app was clearly a great team that year which takes away from the upset. but, at the end of the day, usc v. stanford is a conference game and clearly stanford is a bigger school than app. no matter the spread, it is still a D-III team winning in the big house – think there is an argument at least.

I think you’re showing a great deal of local bias when you say that. If Cal Poly, Montana, or some other school you didn’t know anything about had pulled that upset you probably wouldn’t have cared as much. Also, the point spread on the game was only 28 points, compared to 41 from USC-Stanford.

has to be app number one. i think you have to evaluate the upset at the time it happens. of course, in hindsight that michigan team was not good. but sitting there on my couch at the time, it was the craziest thing i had ever seen.

I disagree. Their non-conference game against Ohio State, Pitt, and USF won’t affect their ACC record. Also, realize that they get two out of the other 3 division contenders (UNC, GT, VT) at home.

Miami has too tough of a schedule to be in a BCS Game.

your acc picks look solid. i agree with them all for the most part. most especially, north carolina. while i will be rooting for the heels and hope they do well, too many people have been playing in the kool aid. an 8-5 team that returns everyone including a mediocre qb and no serious talent on offense is…another 8-5 team.

Also, European teams don’t win World Cups when the World Cup is not in Europe.
