The longest month. This year even longer than usual.

Have the rankings come out the same time as usual, and have that be the lead-in to your annual Duke-Kansas-Kentucky-Michigan State circle jerk. Eliminates the need for an unnatural gap between games, too. Everybody wins.
is it
Ohio St OR Michigan?
Georgia if unbeaten til the title game, then doesn't matter if they lose?
LSU if it beats Georgia, too
TCU if it stays unbeaten?
USC if carnage?
any other pathways?
Tide has turned in the second quarter, with Illinois getting inside Michigan's 40 before turning it over on downs, then getting to the Michigan six before a false start on 4th-and-1, resulting in a field goal.
Michigan's offense came out of hibernation and moved into the red zone in the final two minutes, but Corum took a hit to the knee and fumbled. He hobbled to the locker room, and the score remains 7-3.
All three timeouts left, so not over.
Thankfully, Vandy has been turtling most of this quarter, so it's not completely hopeless yet.
1) Games where he's a dynamic runner and a true force to be reckoned with, and
2) Games where it looks like he's probably hurt, because he doesn't run the ball even when he has all kind of open space to do it.
This has been one of the games from category #2.
Looks like we'll get a chance to see if they've been working on the Hail Mary in practice this week.
EDIT: Nope, although god only knows what happened at the end there.
Baylor got conservative at the end, and it cost them.
FSU up to 8 wins, I'd say a successful season despite blowing the NC State game. The Big 10/SEC rumors are flying again, who knows where this will all end up a few years down the line.
I am not sure they are dynamic enough to be Ohio State especially considering its going to be played in Columbus but this is been a pretty good year for Michigan all things considered.
but I'd much rather see them in the playoff than a second team from... anywhere else.
Probably in seventh position behind Georgia, Michigan-Ohio State winner, TCU, Michigan-Ohio State loser, 11-2 LSU, and 12-1 Clemson.
Would definitely need LSU to lose, and then probably two of: TCU losing twice, unless it just got a Darren Sproles-style pantsing by Kansas State; Clemson losing; and Michigan-Ohio State being a drubbing to mortally wound the loser.
Someone please fix North Carolina's offense.
Wasn't the buzz on Rhule even at Baylor that he was itching to jump to the NFL because he wanted to get out of the recruiting game? Hard to see how that's a good fit at Nebraska. But Nebraska is desperate and Rhule is a name, I guess.
Feels like another Bobby Petrino situation, I guess - coach has a rocket ascension to the NFL after short-term success at smaller programs, is exposed as over his head, and is never really able to replicate his success after returning to college.
Will be interesting to see how Nebraska fans react to a transparently mercenary type, also. They were never cool with Callahan from the day he was hired.
Turns out that only doing the first part doesn't work as well, though.
Hahaha the FSU coaches are spying on us and don't realize you're joking
Football gods, please take note of my humility.
Shame on Pearsall for using so long to run nowhere, though, that kind of messed it up.
Undermanned Gator team gave it all they had, just wasn't good enough.
6-6 finish feels a little sour at the moment.
