If the Mississippi schools lose this weekend, they should be top 10. They need to be ahead of Oregon and Michigan State. Michigan State is ranked too high right now.

They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Yeah, I was kind of wondering that myself - Arizona didn't get votes because it was thought that their perfect record was something of a fluke.

Beating Oregon at Autzen is not a fluke.

More likely their 4-0 record was considered "untested", considering they beat 4 mediocre teams and 3 of them by a touchdown or less. Beating Oregon was probably a fluke, but we won't know until they get into the meat of their schedule.

Great win-- I guess you never underestimate RichRod.  Congratz Berkut.

One of the great tragedies of the 2014 season is that Arizona is not playing Michigan this year.

Yeah, that was definitely not a fluke. Arizona won the war on the lines, and when that happens, it isn't a "fluke" that you win.

Doesn't mean I think Arizona is going to beat Oregon more often than not if they replay that game in Autzen, of course, but it was not luck or a fluke.

Of course, the million dollar question now for Arizona is if they can sustain this, and beat USC at home next week.

I suspect Casteel's defense might be rather uniquely suited to play teams like Oregon. But perhaps not so much going up against more traditional power teams.

I suspect RichRod never quite got the Michigan guys to have this much fun:

Arizona really was a great land for him - a place where the expectations are reasonable, and he doesn't have to overcome and entrenched and storied existing tradition and way of doing things that might not line up with his own.

Ok now Arizona just has to finish 7-0 so they can take a playoff spot from the SEC.  RichRod has got this right?

Yeah, I know.

But there are 4 spots and 5 power conferences. I don't think the Pac-12 is going to end up without one of those spots one way or another.

We really need an 8 team playoff. Each power conference gets a bid, and then three at large.

Arizona doesn't play Pittsburgh in the last game, right?

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the (financially)weaker of the power conferences dissolves and it resolves itself naturally. We fixed the glitch.

No I meant go 7-0 in their next seven games.  But I just remembered the PAC 12 has a championship game so make that 8-0.

Impossible.  The conference are all too big as it is.  Where would all those schools go?
