I would add SECCG as one of the biggest remaining games....

Believe it or not, but Houston is going to play a ranked USM in the CUSA championship. I would consider that game big as well.

Well really all the championships are big games.

Florida as a dissapointment? I don't think anyone really thought they do that well.

I think he may just be considering regular season games right now. CCG's are always considered big games usually.

Yeah I'm just listing regular season games, but I agree, if Georgia was to beat LSU then a lot changes.

As far as the nc game goes it's not a biggy, but it will determine if Houston plays in a BCS game.

They were preseason top 25 and have 5 losses. Could miss even a bowl game.

Yeah, but I wouldn't call it one of the biggest disappointments. I would say the same for Oregon State. No one had them doing anything preseason.

LOL

Brantley was even getting Heisman hype again.

Houton @ Tulsa should be listed as a big game. Houston needs to win out to make a BCS Bowl, and Tulsa is their toughest test. Tulsa's worst loss on the year is Boise State, so it isn't a shoo-in by any measure.

Florida winning the SEC East would not have been a big surprise. They were definitely top 25. Oregon St has done well the last few years and this dropoff in wins and by the scores they lost were a surprise to me.

Yeah I kinda agree with that. Tulsa could be the toughest game of the year for Houston and they have a lot riding on it.
