[Husker] I thought you should see this story

[Lawson, Scott R.]

I hope there are 10 undefeated teams (I know, it's not possible) just so the BCS looks even more foolish. Yes, I am in favor of a playoff (can't you tell?)

There's an article on Rivals that looks at the 13 undefeated teams, the
only one it predicts to go undefeated is Boise State, though it predicts
just one loss for eight of them, including Nebraska and Oklahoma.

I agree that Boise State will have to trip over its blue turf to lose
a game, so they will take Nevada out of the picture, if they're still
in it by then.

I also don't think Ohio State will stumble and I think TCU may emerge
unscathed as well, knocking Utah out.  Of Oregon and Nebraska, I think 
one will stumble, hopefully the Ducks, but Nebraska could still lose
two conference games.  If Oklahoma makes it to the Big XII Championship 
game without a loss (50-50 chance at best), Nebraska could knock them 
out of the undefeated ranks.  

Auburn will lose to Bama.  LSU could get to the SEC game unbeaten, but
I think they've been pushing their luck.

I think Oklahoma State will lose at least three games and Mizzou at least 
two.

Michigan State doesn't have to play Ohio State, but they do have
some challenging road games coming up and JoePa could play the spoiler
in November, though I don't know that he'll get win #400 this year.  (Of 
course what I'd really like to see is Sparty lose to Northwestern in 
two weeks, a homecoming win would be sweet!)  

So right now I see three undefeated teams, possibly four or five:

Boise State
TCU
Ohio State
Nebraska (maybe)
Michigan State (BIG maybe)

If Ohio State stumbles (most likely on Nov 20th in Iowa City) along with 
Nebraska and Michigan State, the two remaining undefeated teams would be 
Boise State and TCU.  

Take that, BCS!
