Week 4 Thread - In the Light

And if you feel that you can't go on
And your will's sinkin' low
Just believe and you can't go wrong
In the light you will find the road

Conference play is here. Rivalries and matchups going back to the 1880's make its comeback. Expansion era be damned. Gameday is heading to Athens for a top10 showdown under the lights as the Irish and Bulldogs collide in a non-conference tilt. What a tailgating scene that must be, amirite? Just bought a mini bag of Reese's cup at the store on the drive home. I forgot to mention that the SEASON finale of The Hills:Beginnings aired last week in the week 3 thread. For shame. Recorded Fright Night and The Lost Boys over the weekend so it's looking like a 80's week is in store ahead of us. Cheers, bros.

You didn't think #21 Washington @ BYU was notable this week? I'm curious to see if the Washington that lost to Cal is the reel deal or if it was an anomaly.

The game actually has to mean something to be notable. It doesn't really matter much to anyone outside of the two fan bases, who wins. Washington has to win their conference games to get anywhere, regardless if they beat BYU. BYU is going to the same bowl game if they go undefeated the rest of the year or just win 6 games.

They were out of the playoffs when they lost to an unranked Cal. They can still make the Rose Bowl though if they win the conference.

Not really. Clemson made the playoffs losing to a 4-8 Cuse team. OSU almost made it last year despite getting smoked by 6-7 Purdue. MSU made it after losing to a 6-7 Nebraska team. Etc. etc. etc. Cal is in the top 25 and is likely to finish with 8 or 9 wins. No P5 team is out with only 1 loss.

Washington isn't Clemson, doe. The PAC-12 doesn't get the benefit the SEC, ACC and Big Ten get.

@Bdub You make a great point. I guess I figured Washington still had some national pull, but you're right that the loss to Cal really messed that up.

I retract my question as it has been answered correctly.

Neither is MSU

Clemson had as many playoff appearances as UDub at that point, by the way

I wish you guys were playing sometime in the PAC that we don't play. Then at least BYU winning would help the Utes strength of schedule.

I disagree a little that BYU is locked in to the bowl in Hawaii even if they win out. I think an 11-1 BYU team against the schedule they had at least is in the conversation for a New Years Six bowl. With the playoff, I know that really means nothing. But that would be huge for BYU. They could still get left out, doe. Plus I'm not saying BYU will go undefeated the rest of the year, either. So it doesn't really matter.

BYU isn’t eligible for the G5’s guaranteed bowl spot, right?

Will be notable to me if within 2 scores entering 4th quarter, and a channel I have access to is carrying the broadcast.

Which is funny because the ACC is really really bad right now.

though the winds of change may blow around you
But that will always be so

If you are never alone
