That'd be fun! Though I don't envy any team who has to
face USC in LA on Jan. 4 ... looking at Carroll's
history of preparing for bowls, that defense will be
ready. It is looking more likely, though, that we can
get two BCS bids.

That's the way I see it ... but I'm no expert. I think
Minnesota and NU are the two "least attractive" teams
for bowls in terms of fans/ratings/etc. so we'll be at
the end of the order and be Sun vs. Music City or
Music City vs. Motor City depending on OSU in the BCS.
Either way, I don't think the folks in Nashville want
a repeat of the Gophers so we look good.

Of course, upsets next weekend by MSU or Minny (they'd
have to take an 8-3 Minny before 6-5 Iowa) could wreck
all that.

Do I hear a chorus of Rocky Top already? Ugh! :)

GO CATS!!!
