I\'m pulling hard for Minnesota & Florida.
A Minn win would pretty much knock the Big10 out of the national championship game in the Fiesta Bowl. Most importantly, it would mean the Big10 championship is decided on the field even tho Iowa & Ohio St don't play each other. A Gopher W sets up the season ending game hosting the Hawkeyes as a possible Big10 championship game with the winner going to the Rose Bowl. Poor ole Minnesota would get more publicity than they have in 40 yrs (all 40 yrs put together, ha, ha). Gopher fans could REALLY use something like this &, hey, after a 40 yr wait, would be great.
A Fla win would pretty much knock the SEC out of the Fiesta, also, & a weak conference with only Ga having less than 2 Ls after the 8th week doesn't deserve a trip to the Fiesta. The Dogs have had every break come their way with key injuries to the best players on the opposing teams. I think it's fine if Ga gets their 1st trip to the SEC Championship game & gets to return to N.O. for a 20th yr anniversary, but to think they can play with the 'big boys' is a stretch. Would like to see the LSD haze end now.
