Undefeated After Week 11

So apparently they way you rebound from a heartbreaking loss to a ranked opponent is by giving up 83 points to another ranked opponent. Only the Hoosiers. Here are the two countdowns for IU. For the optimists, number of victories needed to secure Little Caesars Bowl berth: 2. For the realists, number of losses needed to secure Bill Lynch's firing: 2.

In other news, Oregon barely squeaked by Cal to remain undefeated, and Auburn might as well just let Cam Newton keep playing because if (when) he is determined to be ineligible, what's the difference between 0-12 and 2-10? Boise State is the only of the four undefeateds that plays this weekend. The others all have a week off before their next games.

Here is a breakdown of the undefeated teams and each team's remaining games (rankings are BCS rankings):

#1 Oregon (10-0)
11/26 – #22 Arizona (7-3)
12/4 – at Oregon State (4-5)

Remaining opponents' combined record: 11-8 (.579)

#2 Auburn (11-0)
11/26 – at #11 Alabama (8-2) (.800)

#3 TCU (11-0)
11/27 – at New Mexico (1-9) (.100)

#4 Boise State (9-0)
11/19 – Fresno State (6-3)
11/26 – at #18 Nevada (9-1)
12/4 – Utah State (4-6)

Remaining opponents' combined record: 19-10 (.655)
