who to root for this weekend?

[West Coast Panther]

As much as it pains me to support the teams who ride through on their names...

I'll be rooting for Alabama over Missouri, Oregon over Illinois and LSU over A&M. Seems to me that even if they lost one (perhaps even 2) more game this season, all of those teams almost get automatic bids over teams with fewer losses.

Each of the teams they play are sitting in the same #14-21 range that Pitt are in. For any of those equivalently ranked teams, a win this weekend might be seen as a statement win for the end of the year rankings.

We'd be ahead of the Alabama/Missouri loser either way. And an Oregon loss, though it won't happen, would really discredit the Big Ten. I'm mostly just rooting for upsets.
