The hat AND the crown?



Does USC's loss mean that one of the Big East powerhouses will get a shot at the national title? Maybe, and especially if it's West Virginia who wins this Thursday as Coach Bando and Coach Woody do battle at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. (I say that because the Mountaineers are already #3 prior to the game, but Louisville can certainly climb if they win, too.)

While Coach Rob is still in the thick of the race, too, could Thursday's game be a battle for (or against) the dreaded hat? We'll see.

The double whammy has happened before (cash and hat). Just ask Chris. I don't think it's going to happen though. WV will not go undefeated. Either will Louisville. OSU will not win the title either.
How ironic is it that Brandon (who had the first pick) is all of a sudden trying to stay out of the basement? I guess picking 1st really only gives you the best shot at cash, and beyond that, anything is possible for winning percentage.

Good point about the double whammy. I think we all assumed that that wouldn't happened when we created the rules.

It sounds like, from your assumptions, you're thinking Michigan is taking the title. We'll see.

If Michigan doesn't take, it, then my next hope would be Auburn, but their standing aren't going to be helped by playing Arkansas State this week.
What I am secretly hoping for is that Arkansas wins the title. Wouldn't that be fun? No cash for anyone, and no tacos for you.
