"not one but TWO ND end zone turnovers...need I go on?"

Still undefeated... but do you really think you will stay in the top 5 after that game against an unranked team?

Stats say the should have kicked Pitt's ass. Instead, they lucked out. The polls will note that.

I’m no expert on the BCS, but I know enough to know that the computers don’t give a rip about margin of victory - a win is a win, and as long as they win out, they will be in the title discussion. Through this week they were 1 or 2 in every computer poll. In the major polls, who’s going to pass them - a (probable) two-loss LSU? One-loss Florida and Georgia teams with laughable remaining schedules?

They are still very much in danger of slipping to fourth by virtue of Oregon’s climbing strength of schedule, but a even blowout today wouldn’t have mattered in that regard. All they can do is win, and hope for losses from the other three major undefeateds. As long as they win out in the end, losses by K State and Oregon will put them in the title game in January, and today did nothing to change that.
