The Oregon State Beavers are 6-3 and setting at 5-1 in the Pac-10 conference. Nothing too impressive really, but wait did I fail to mention that the Beavers are ranked 23rd in the country and hold their own destiny in the Pac-10? Yes, that is true. The Beavers, not the USC Trojans, are currently on the inside track to the Rose Bowl. Oregon State and USC are currently tied atop the standings in the Pac-10 with one loss apiece, but Oregon State has the advantage with their upset of USC earlier in the year. The Beavers next three games aren't going to be easy though. If the Beavers want to earn a trip to the Rose Bowl they are going to have to defeat California, Arizona, and Oregon, teams with a combined record of 19-9. This part of the season is the time the Beavers are usually playing their best football. In 2006 they started 2-3, but finished 10-4. Last year they started 2-3 and finished 9-4. This year is quite the same, but a little different as well. Oregon State started the season 2-3, but could end up finishing it with a Rose Bowl Victory. This is a great story about a team that could end up stirring things up in the BCS.
This weekend is full of potential upset games. Texas visits Kansas to battle it out. The last time the Longhorns visited Kansas they lost, thus turning around Kansas's football program. The old ball coach makes his return to the swamp, when his Gamecocks battle the Florida Gators. This game should be on upset alert with Florida possibly looking ahead to their battle with Alabama on December 6. Last but not least, Bobby Bowden and his Florida State Seminoles play against the Boston College Eagles. BC is a good team who always comes ready to play, so the Seminoles better keep their eyes open.
