I see us finishing 7-5, and headed to Houston, for Texas bowl.

[steve dave]

Alamo 

[Deez Nutz]

At this rate, we aren't going to lose any games this year!   

[Pete]

My guess

National Championship Game - OSU
BCS At Large - OU
AT&T Cotton -  Baylor
Valero Alamo - aTm
Insight - Texas
Bridgepoint Holiday - Mizzou
Texas - KSU
New Era Pinstripe - Tech

[Stevesie60]

If we get two Big 12 teams into the BCS bowls, we'll go Holiday.

5-7. No bowl. Sorry bros.

[doom]

Even getting 6 wins will be a fight.  no big12 teams really all out suck.  I think we do it, go to pinstripe against cuse, talk about redemption from "the salute" and then get plastered by 21.  

[wetwillie]

I think we will win four more.  One of them will be OU.

[steve dave]

if we have 5 wins going into OU do we just practice for ISU and ignore that awful 4 game stretch?  How terrible is that going to be?

Yep, spend at least half your time each week just breaking down ISU's film from the weekend....after four weeks, we should have them figured out.

Versus Arizona State in the Alamo Bowl.  I think this would be fun.  Decent chance I would fall into the river.

The similarities are spooky.

[highway61]

So BYU is contractually obligated to go the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces bowl and play a CUSA team if they don't make the BCS?  I had no idea they were in that bad of a position.  They couldn't possibly turn down a Big 12 invite, could they?
