Bump! Alright, everybody add this one to your upset list:

UNC 34, Miami 13. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!

That Evans guy is actually looking pretty good. I bet they'll still find a way to lose to teams that are far worse than FSU, though.

GO PACK!!!!

[Eroberer]

My prediction is not coming to fruition.

Grandpa Troll, everyone was saying that the state of North Carolina's football teams were all terrible. Now we've got Wake Forest looking very good against Clemson, and the Wuffpack with a couple of very good games against ranked opponents. I hope I'm not jinxing Wake, but NC State isn't making us look bad anymore.

Anyway, new prediction: John Bunting is out as UNC HC after this season.

My daughter graduated UNC Chapel Hill with a degree in Biology and then Wake Forest School of Medicine (Old Bowman Grey School of medicine)

She is UNC First then Wake

me..Im just die hard Wolfpack

So which of the pollsters voted Auburn #2 this week after they almosy got beat by South Carolina last week?

Arkansas is about to beat Auburn 27-10.

Please note that Auburn wasn't in my Top 10. Take that, MRT...

Arkansas looked pretty good today.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Ouch, Minnesota loses in OT because of a crap pass interference play. Though they should have hit that extra point.

[Eroberer]

I voted Auburn down in my poll, my instinct was to vote them even lower. Arkansas can be Alabama State champs now.

In the Minnesota game, the defender got a piece of the receivers arm, and the ball was very catchable if he hadn't. I didn't think it was even that close of a call.

I jinxed Wake Forest. Clemson still looks good though. UNC could not beat Miami, which definitely should mean that Bunting can't keep his job.

Grandpa Troll, I think I read that somewhere. I'm a grandkid in a long line of huge ECU fans, and I graduated from UNC. I catch hell from all angles, but luckily we've had a couple good teams recently. I can pull for most of the NC schools except for dook, and State football. I can't forget how the Wolfpack fans crowded our stadiums a few years ago and actually outnumbered us. I still end up pulling for almost all ACC teams in basketball, though. I think we keep getting screwed when they don't put at least 6 ACC teams in the tourney.

prediction: LSU 24, FLorida 17, hot off the presses!

[DanS]

Drake Tungsten with enough balls to keep Auburn out of his top 10 despite them being undefeated.

[SlowwHand]

Could y'all keep it down a little? Texas - O.U. will be starting shortly.

Well, I did, and I don't regret it one bit. If anything, this game showed me that Arkansas is a better team than the one USC blew out at the start of the season, not that Auburn wasn't nearly as good. Auburn already proved itself in the LSU game as far as I was concerned - a contention that'll only get strengthened if LSU knocks off Florida today as I'm expecting.

Sure, Auburn won't be #2 on my list after this week, and their loss essentially solidifies (in a just world) that the Big Game this year will be a BCS title knockout game, with the winner going to Phoenix and the loser settling (settling?) for Pasadena.

Drake.

We've lost 2 unbeatens thus far, many games to go...

[Drake Tungsten]

Don't give me too much credit yet. Texas is beating OU as I thought, but Florida is annihilating LSU (I thought it would be a close one). If Cal beats Oregon tonight, I'll feel better about my prognostication skills...

[Guynemer]

I should also mention that I'm having a blast with my picture-in-picture; UM-MSU and Tigers-Yankees. So far, this is the best day of life.
