I don't have a link but I have seen this on several boards. Apparently Miami has dismissed 6 players:
These are the names that are listed on the national college football board:

I also like the little jab at Georgetown Prep he throws in there: Exeter, Hotchkiss, Route 355 School …: TMQ often drives past Georgetown Preparatory School, one of the top private high schools in the United States -- tops both for quality and for snob factor. The school's name evokes the chic, historic Georgetown diplomatic enclave of Washington, D.C. Trouble is, Georgetown Prep is not in chic, historic Georgetown but rather 10 miles away in the Maryland suburbs on Route 355, a traffic-choked strip-mall corridor. Something tells me that if everything about Georgetown Preparatory Academy were exactly the same except its name was Route 355 Preparatory Academy, the school would have to cut its $34,700 annual charge in half.

Some of the people on Clemson boards are all enamored with the possibility of backing into a BCS game. The theory goes that if VT, Arizona and Washington all win this weekend then Clemson would be going to the Sugar Bowl.
If these things were to happen, what are the odds of the Sugar picking them?
Realistically, I'm thinking VT probably takes BC this time. Not so sure about the other two.

I have a few questions first. 1) What's the BCS selection order this season? 2) Is there a prohibition on teams from the same conference playing each other in a BCS bowl (why wouldn't the Sugar take UGA if not?) 3) Do you really think Hawaii might lose this weekend? (I do -- I haven't liked the Warriors in any game I've seen them in, though I didn't watch them last weekend.)

Realistically, I'm thinking VT probably takes BC this time. Not so sure about the other two. I was holding out a faint hope that Florida might eek into the Orange Bowl, although I fully admit that Georgia should be there and if they were to take us then Georgia would be getting screwed. I know there is a rule against having more than 2 teams from the same conference in the BCS. When LSU was a contender for the National Championship, then the argument was that if they were in the Title game, then the Sugar would take Georgia if they still only had 2 losses or Florida if Georgia dropped a game either against G. Tech or in the SEC title game. But now with the LSU loss, they are out of the National picture. So whoever wins the SEC game in Atlanta will host the Sugar Bowl. Then the talk was that if BC beats Va. Tech, then the Orange Bowl would likely take Florida to sell tickets and draw viewers. I know there are also rules that say that a bowl can't take a team from a conference if there is an available team from the same conference with a record better than 1 game better. And that regardless the at large must go to a team in the top 10 or 12. But someone today was saying that a top 4 BCS team is guaranteed a BCS birth. Since Georgia is #4 and has finished its season, I don't see any way Florida can end up in the Orange. As for Clemson, I think they would be in the same situation, except that neither BC nor Ba Tech would be in the BCS top 4. So that could still be a possibility.

(I do -- I haven't liked the Warriors in any game I've seen them in, though I didn't watch them last weekend.) I don't know if there is a strict rule against pairing conference teams together, but neither the bowl nor the conference would generally want that. Especially if Tennessee wins, there is no way they would set up a rematch. Even if LSU wins, I don't see that happening. There isn't much in it for the conference or the bowl. Even though LSU and Georgia didn't play this season, there is no reason to put them together.

Assuming VT wins on Saturday, then it will probably be VT-UGA in the Sugar, don't know where that leaves BC and Clemson though

vc, the Sugar is going to be either LSU or Tennessee. That much is a lock.

Sugar is the last pick for BCS this year I believe.

If LSU wins the SEC, no way the Sugar takes Va Tech, after the trouncing LSU gave them earlier this year, unless they have absolutely no alternative.

Realistically, I'm thinking VT probably takes BC this time. Not so sure about the other two. So if all SEC teams are out, and assuming Va. Tech, ASU, and Washington win (a tall order), the other contenders are: Mizzou (if OU wins) OU (if Mizzou wins) Kansas? BC Illinois BC is BOWL GAME POISON. No fanbase and nobody else who cares. I'd take the Tigers before them, but the Eagles did win at Clemson this season and ohmygodohmygod they have Matty Ice. Same thing for KU -- I don't know how many fans would make the trip to New Orleans, and Kansas' media moment may have ceased with the Jayhawks' loss last weekend. Illinois is probably going to the Rose Bowl if OU wins the Big 12 Championship (at which point Mizzou becomes competition for Clemson). If Mizzou wins, I'd probably take them or a 10-3 Oklahoma team or a 9-3 Illinois team with a win over tOSU over Clemson. It's late and I probably have something wrong, so feel free to correct me.

Austin, if Missouri wins then they will be in the Title game. They are #1 now, and I don't see anyone, much less two teams passing them if they win. I think the at large bids will be Georgia, the Oklahoma-Missouri loser, the Pac10 runner up and Hawaii, if they beat Washington. Actually as I think about it, does the Big 10 have a rule like the SEC does? I know that a bowl can't select a team that is more than one game worse than another conference team if the "better" team is still available. Would Kansas at 11-1 be considered more than a game better than a 10-3 Oklahoma team? I would think so, but I don't know if that is just an SEC rule.

Hey HiFi, even tho' it was a while ago, I just noticed that the Gators snagged a great recruit out of my alma mater -- Will Hill. sports.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/briefingroom?playerId=46770He plays QB and safety, and will be playing safety for the Gators. Seems like the Gators are going to be overloaded with talent in the defensive backfield over the next few years...

Yeah, I don't know a lot about him but some services had him rated at the top. He is listed as an "athlete" in our newspaper. In any case, I think Meyer is very concerned with having what he considers gamebreaking playmakers. In that regard, those "slash" or "athlete" type players are especially desired in his system. The free safety and running-receiver or wide-back if you will are the focal point. I am glad to welcome Mr. Hill aboard.

Rumors of Miles to Michigan as early as Sunday. Rumors of Spurrier to LSU as well again.
Report of Mickey Andrews retiring at FSU and Jimbo Fisher getting a raise up to over $1M a year.

Yeah, I saw that Mickey Andrews story being discussed at warchant. Apparently there is something to that. Who would have thought that Andrews might retire before Booby. On a related note, apparently this year has been especially tough for Mickey. His son dies earlier in the year and from what I have read, he never really got over it.

Austin, if Missouri wins then they will be in the Title game. Yeah, I knew I had something wrong. That's why one shouldn't post past midnight.
