Perfect weekend for BYU

Since I obviously have a huge interest in BYU making a BCS bowl...this will become a weekly post. There are some obvious things that could happen like BYU winning 59-0 every week, the MWC going undefeated in inter-conference play, and every team ranked ahead of them losing. Because these are "givens" we will not mention those kinds of games, unless they have special merit (like the Ark, Bama game).

BYU's PERFECT week would like this...

1. Colorado beating WVU - already happened! makes ECU's win look worse, and there is no way a two-loss WVU gets in ahead of an undefeated BYU team
2. Georgia loses to ASU - makes UNLV's win even more amazing, reestablishes the Pac-10 as legitmate which further makes last weekend's MWC dominance even better. It also brings all the SEC people back down to earth and helps them realized they don't deserve 8 BCS bids!
3. Tennessee beats Florida - This would make BYU's 59-0 win over UCLA look like 159-0. If UT can knock of the #4 team in the country, and they also lost to UCLA, who got SPANKED by BYU...that would be awesome.
4. ND loses to MSU - ND has only beaten lowly SDSU and pathetic Michigan and people are already starting to talk about them because they are "2"-0. ND going 10-2 is bad news for Cougar fans.
5. NCST beats ECU - This is a losable game for ECU. It's on the road, NCST isn't that bad, and the loss would automatically eliminate them from any BCS talk.
6. Arkansas beats 'Bama - obviously any team ranked higher than BYU losing is good, but this is a winnable game for the Razorbacks, and it would move BYU into the top 10.
7. BYU beating Wyoming 59-0!
8. Air Force barely loses to Utah - you don't want Utah to blow them out because it makes the MWC look like 3 teams and "everyone else". Air Force is getting some votes and a close game with a good UT team should keep votes coming, while the win still moves UT up in the ranks.
9. UNC beats VaTech - along the same lines as the first point...this solidifies the fact that both VaTech and WVU were way overrated, and ECU's wins were not all that great. I think UNC will beat them and move into the top 25 after this weekend.

I think Auburn is way overrated and whether they win or lose, if 'Bama lost as well BYU would jump to #9 in the coaches poll! Crazy...

I can see all these happening except #3 and #6. It truly would be "magic" if all 9 of these games came out like this...let's all hope they do.
