Idle Hawks could move up in polls

[Hawk1960]

We can rest up this week and I think we have a great shot at moving up in the polls 2 or maybe even 3 spots. Several of the teams in front of us have extremely tough games this week ...

#12 LSU @ #14 Florida (loser will fall below us in rankings)
#13 Miami hosts #23 FSU (always a dog fight)
#11 Arkansas @ Texas A&M (tough to beat Aggies at home)
#10 Utah @ Iowa State (could clones win 3 in a row and go to 4-2?)
#7 Nebraska @ #27 K State (K State fans always pumped for Nebby)

I think you're a bit optimistic, but hey weird things happen in college football.

Is there anyone that's a good position to jump us with a nice win this week?

In other words, Iowa could also fall in the polls or stay put in the polls. Someone type up a furitive analysis of this developing story.

Maybe LSU beats Florida with another **** show of an ending and they both fall behind us.

The four teams behind us also have tough schedules ... #16 Stanford has USC ... #17 MSU has #18 Mich ... #19 South Carolona has #1 Alabama.

teams fall in bye weeks too...don't forget that.

the winner of the MSU/Mich game will vault ahead of us especially if its Mich that wins. They are too "sexy" of a team for the media to not move them way up

Either team would deserve to be ranked ahead of us for winning that game.

True ... but I'm optimistic. I alway likee the quote, "Don't ever look behind you ... someone may be gaining on you"

 

[Hawk1960]

Could happen unless they both play ugly.

I like the fact we play Michigan in 2 weeks right after they play their in state rival which is always a physical game and we come off a bye week fresh. We also get Wisconsin in 3 weeks right after they bang heads with Ohio State.

winner of MSU and UM will jump us. I hope it is UM so that match-up on Oct 16 looks even better.

Lock of the week, FSU over Miami.

Saw Miami last weekend at the Clemson game. Harris is feast or famine, he's good for at least three interceptions next weekend against FSU.

Miami might be the most over-rated program in the Top 25 right now.

Agreed... especially since I'm gonna be at the game!

I hope it's MSU, because I think Michigan can beat us, but State has no prayer.

I agree, Miami is way over-rated and so is Utah.

You had me right up to the point of ISU beating Utah

Explain please.

I rarely cheer for the clones but I will be this weekend and actually they are only a 4 point underdog on the Vegas line.

It depends what happens this weekend. The Hawks may move up a little.....but no more than a place or two. We could also drop a place or two. We have a loss already and I think 16 teams don't. We don't have a lot of pull right now.
