How the Cougars can reach a BCS bowl game: Nonconference wins against Washington and/or UCLA would be a good start.
As if we don't need to win both.

Jay's computer says that BYU could get to a BCS game with a loss. But I'm of the belief that the little guys have to be undefeated in order to get the BCS cartel to even give them a sniff.

Until it is proved otherwise, I'm with IPU.

One of my best friends back east is a ND alumn and gets to a couple of games a year still. I sent him the link and he responded with this:

"It's truly a proud day in South Bend when ND is sandwiched between the Tulsa Golden Hurricanes and the Central Michigan Chippewas. If fat boy can pull us ahead of the UCF Knights, maybe we'll give him another 10 year extension...."

It's disconcerting, as if the sun came up in the west one day.

If this is truly our season, and we are going to make an undefeated run, then I will officially start forming a knot in my stomach over our away game at RES in November. Not sure that we can pull a third miracle in a row out of our hats.

Won't need a miracle in a 21 point victory.

You sure that it was a hat from which you pulled those miracles?
