Clemson has 9 wins. Those 9 opponents are a combined 40 games under .500 (30-70).

BC will drag that down further.

Wow, that's alarming. They need to win a few in conference. I can see them knocking off an FSU or UNC or UVA.

You don't think La Salle is a lock to beat a 2-12 Penn team? Wow.

I watched Penn the other night. They aren't very good but they have a big guy who can score a little, and big five games are crazy.

I expect lasalle to win, Penn can't handle their guards. But Lasalle has not been playing well this year.

Just got some help as #18 Memphis loses to Cincy, who is now 13-2 and 2-0 in AAC play. Their best wins were Nebraska and SMU (who just beat UConn) and this is a nice addition to their resume. They lost to New Mexico, who we beat, so this actually helps us in 2 different ways. I think we leapfrog over Memphis with a win today. Cincy should be knocking on the Top 25 door potentially, or at least get a few votes next week.

Midday update, A10 going according to plan. OOC opponents struggling a bit, but Ohio comeback was nice....They are our best road win.

Nebraska @ Ohio St. (3) -- OSU blows open tight game and wins going away.

Ohio
@ UNC-Asheville -- Bobcats down big most of the game, rally to take the lead in the last few minutes and win by 9. Nice job on the road.

Youngstown St @ Green Bay -- Tight game at the half, then Rodgers hits Cobb for a couple touchdowns and YSU goes down big.

Elon @ Western Carolina --Road game, so it wasn't going to be easy, but Elon wasn't competitive. Our challenge in our game down there will be more the circumstances, not the opponent.

Clemson @ BC -- Clemson hangs on for the road conference win. Going on the road ain't easy.

Virginia @ Florida St -- UVA shuts down cold shooting FSU. Not a really big deal for us.

Colorado St. @ New Mexico --New Mexico holds off the Rams is a decent game. Go Lobos.

San Diego @ BYU -- Home at last for the Cougars, badly in need of a win. This should be one. 9:00pm



Denver @ St. Joseph's -- Hawks rally to win by 1 at home.

Cornell @ St. Bonaventure -- Bonnies roll. A win up there won't be easy, usually isn't.

Richmond @ Florida (12) -- Richmond plays their best game of the year, dictating tempo and hanging in. Tie game until last 3 mins, when bad possessions and shaky calls go Florida's way, and the Gators pull away to win by a misleading margin.

Lasalle @ Penn -- Lasalle shows up and blows Penn's doors off.

Yale @ St. Louis -- St. Louis beats Yale, which stinks.

URI @ LSU -- Huge win for Rhody, damaging to us as LSU RPI takes a hit.

George Mason @ Old Dominion -- ODU is decent, and GMU is not a team to expect road wins from. They should have a chance to win this one, however. Toss up. 7:00pm

Dayton @ Ole Miss -- BIG one for Dayton. Lose it, and they have an uphill battle to a bid in my opinion. Win it, and I think they are in pretty good shape right now. 8:00 pm ESPN3

BC clawed back to make it a game.. Clemson has responded.

Seems like a long, long time ago when we were down 45-36 with 17 minutes remaining in the second half against the Eagles in the Beaner.

Florida State is playing Virginia like we played against them. Turnovers, 3-10 field goals versus a mediocre team at home. During the broadcast they noted FSU's "big win" against UMass.
