Will there even be 2 left at the end of the season considering conference championships.

Boise and TCU?

THAT would be interesting.

Ohio St.
Oregon
Boise St.
TCU
Nebraska
Oklahoma
Auburn
LSU
Utah
Michigan St.
Oklahoma St.
Missouri
Nevada
Northwestern

14 teams

Northwestern plays Mich St. (next week)
TCU plays Utah
Boise St. plays Nevada
Oklahoma plays Missouri
Nebraska plays Oklahoma St.
Auburn plays LSU

(Other matches w/ no loss teams also, but I'm just looking at max possible.) 6 have to lose...leaving a mathematical max of 8!

Oregon has Arizona at home, USC, Cal, and Oregon St. on the road. They are strong (mostly on Offense) but I'd 30% chance of going undefeated!
Ohio St. only has 2 strong opponents left, both on the road...Whisky and Iowa. Strong team (better D than Oregon), I'd say 45% chance of going undefeated!
Nebraska has Mizz at home Ok St. on the road and play at A&M. Really good D, I'd say 50% chance.
Oklahoma has Mizz, Ok. St., A&M, and Baylor on the road. I'm not sold on their D or stability on Offense...10% chance.

Boise St. is the only team that looks to have better then even odds at coming out goose eggs!

I think TCU comes out with zero loses as well.

Yes, I didn't even look. How do you lose to Purdon't?

I give TCU a similar chance as Nebraska! Utah could beat them (and they can't make mistakes w/ Air Force), and with Utah not getting much talk...they may be primed to pull the upset.

If I go with my gut. I think Boise St., TCU, Ohio St. and Nebraska all go undefeated.

And I'll say at this time...the case for TCU and Boise State being top 3 or 4 teams looks better all of the time.

Ohio State doesn't go undefeated IMO. I think Ohio State wins in Camp Randall, although it will be tight. I don't think they beat Iowa. I don't like the matchup.

I agree with what we see now. But Ohio St. is looking better as they go this year. More so than I have seen in the past few years...I think Pryor sees the field better all of the time. I think the Buckeyes D is good and could be very good at that date. And Iowa, they seem to take a possession off here and there (mentally.)

I think Pryor is fine. Actually he isn't getting enough credit this year after being overhyped the last couple years. The running game, excepting Pryor, isn't good. Not even decent. Pryor is the offense now. That isn't good in my eyes. I would like to see some balance. Balanced teams can won all of their games, teams that rely too much on one thing or another have problems at some point.

Yeah, Michhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiigan!

Michigan was an extreme example, but Ohio State has offensive problems that Pryor covers up. At some point it will be exposed.

Very carefully!
