    We get Memphis at home this week. I think that they will be less of a foe than Georgia and South Carolina were but you can never let your guard down.

    We have 4 more games to pull out a bowl birth. I can't remember if we have to have 6 out of 12 or if we have to have 7 in a 12 game season to go.

    One game at a time though.

    6-6 makes you bowl eligible, but you can't be selected unless all the 7-5 teams are taken.

    It's 6 Tom even if one of your victories is against a D-I AA school if I'm not mistaken. It used to be you had to have 6 against D-I competition but I think they lowered the standard even more recently.

    Yeah 1 victory over a 1AA program is allowed but not 2, Duke has 2 and will have to be 7-5 to be bowl eligible.

    Actually, Terry, they have one win and one loss versus D-I AA competition.

    Well that's embarassing! Not for me, but for Duke. :wink:

    Turns out their win vs North Carolina Central doesn't count at all because they are a provisional FCS (1AA) school that has yet to make the transition from a DII school.

    That's the halftime score? How will you keep it under 70?

    Reports are coming in that Eric Berry and his date are now watching the game from Calhoun's restaurant and have been waiting on their meal since midway through the 3rd quarter.
