[QUOTE="IlliniKrush, post: 1803266, member: 11720"] Wow, so many top 25 matches this week! Normally I always root for the underdogs but this week I think we want all the favorites to win so that we can move up in the rankings. #8 TCU over #17 Kansas State #5 Clemson over #14 Syracuse #9 Oklahoma State over #20 Texas - An Oklahoma State loss would be back to back losses so maybe we jump them - But would a Texas win allow them to jump us #6 Alabama over #24 Mississippi State - most likely gets #26 Purdue ranked (if they win) to build more interest in our matchup if we both keep winning. Our best shot, even if it is a long one, at hosting ESPN CGD or FOX Big Noon Kickoff Others #16 Penn St vs Minnesota - a Penn St loss would help us crack the top #15 but keeps Minnesota stay in the hunt for the West [/QUOTE]
