I didn't think the Irish would be ahead of Tenn, I thought that they Vols would jump us. I did thing we'd be in the top 10 though. But top 8 is very important. If the Irish can just take care of business till Thanksgiving weekend in L.A. We could very well be a top 5 team facing the the #2 team. The important thing is not so much that we can play ourselves into the #2 spot, that's a pretty big long shot. But more importantly we can finish in the top 8 which is an automatic BCS berth. That's the goal..one game at a time.
AP Poll is out, ND/Tenn are flip flopped. Gators do overtake USC here....Bill is happy!
