If youre in a major conference youre rewarded for playing it safe.

Every game I watch VT, they impress me more and more. Sure, LSU or Alabama would pound them, prison-style, but Logan Thomas is really turning into a pretty good QB (not to mention a BEAST). I remember early in the season he was SO robotic with his mechanics and now he has a pretty good touch on his deep balls and is making good decisions.

This. He has really come into his own since the shellacking Clemson put on them earlier. And you can see it, they look better every week. That game against Virginia they just put their heads down, and played steadily good football. It wasn't a fluke that they played their most complete game of the season, imo, last week.

I agree they seem to get better every game. I dont remember Logan Thomas entire story but i dont think they converted him to qb until the spring, right? Give him a couple years and he could be real real good.

Either way Houston is getting prison style pounded by So Miss so that leaves VT as the only remaining most overrated top 10 team. I dont think Clemson is going to violate VT tonight like So Miss is doing to UH, but i think Clemson is going to pull of a win. Should be a real good game though. Either way im routing for Tech.

Lets go VT!

VT is favored by around 7 right now, it should be interesting where the the spread ends up. I dont know what was more surprising VT dominating UVA or USC dominating Clemson. It should be a good game and i have no idea what to expect from either team. Right now though i think i would take Clemson.

Myers has no obligation to anyone except his family. College football is a business and he is free to walk away and then come back. I hope he fails only because I hate OSU. Btw, when is the ncaa going to sanction them?

As they say, Southern Miss to the Top!

Hattiesburg is wild with football frenzy. I actually had a Southern Miss student ask me if final exams would be cancelled since Southern Miss won the Conference USA championship.

Reasoning seems legit.

It's no secret that I'm an SEC guy, and I definitely think Bama and LSU are the two best teams in the country.

That said, I don't think it's right that a team that didn't even play in their conference championship let alone win their division get to play for a national title.

I'd prefer to see LSU wax Ok. State than play another grind it out game vs. Bama.

Losing a 17 million dollar game got to sting.
