Michigan State falling out of the top 14 would probably make it more likely that Oregon would make the BCS. I doubt they'll fall that far unless they lose like 70-3 or something though.

Not entirely sure. For what it's worth, ESPN's BCS guru Brad Edwards thinks they'll take Clemson (he had Clemson vs. Alabama in this week's projections). In the years with the 4-team playoff, the contract language seems to dictate that if an ACC team in the playoff, the Orange will take the next available ACC team. I have no idea if the Orange is bound to anything similar in this last year of the BCS, or perhaps if there is simply a handshake deal to keep the ACC happy, or maybe there's nothing at all.
If FSU is the #1 team in the BCS, Orange will have first choice of replacement. And by quirk of rotation, they also have first choice of at large teams this year. So in theory, at least, they can put on the best match-up possible, be that competitively or just as a matter of selling tickets.
I'm thinking Clemson would get into a BCS game ahead of MSU in your scenario.
Orange bowl would be FSU ACC Replacement (unless outside of the top 14) vs. At Large.
Will be Clemson vs. "someone else." Unless some sort of combination of Oklahoma winning, and the NIU/UCF spots move up, moving Clemson down while they don't play a game.

The Orange Bowl is not obligated to take an ACC team if available, but they almost assuredly will. They don't want to do anything to hurt their relationship with the ACC. This means, if Clemson is in the top 14, and FSU goes to the BCSCG, then the Orange Bowl will take Clemson.
I will eat a whole pizza if I am wrong.

Well the investigation is over but no timetable for a decision on charges. They're gonna wait until after the game Saturday aren't they

If we beat Michigan State, it will be interesting to see how far they drop in the rankings.
Probably like a dozen spots.

To miss out on the Rose Bowl, it only needs to be 5 spots, which is realistic for most teams when they lose.
Bama's gonna be all over that name.
LSU's the team that goes crazy for the "Name's Kids"
Our's are pretty basic, or changed into something basic (Hasean to Ha Ha and Quintorris to Julio)

It is a sign of the times that I had to skim that three times before figuring out if the kid's first name was Anaheim, Servite, or Equanimeous.

@AlexYoder: #BREAKING: Investigation is complete. State Attorney's Office will be announcing their decision at 2pm tomorrow.
Craziest thing I've heard of. A PC to declare whether or not a person is going to be under arrest.
My guess is: Rapist goes free.

It stands to reason that if they were going to arrest him, they'd do it before announcing a press conference.
I just hope the podium has two hats. If you're gonna do it, do it right
But Jimbo talking about how FSU is more than just Jameis seems pessimistic to me. Obviously they probably wouldn't know for sure, but I would guess Jansen had a pretty good idea of whether or not Jameis will be charged.
It's not an SEC loss so they'll probably drop so far that they'll lose FBS status
Should really change the first one to a Duke hat.
At any rate, three cheers for governmental corruption and/or incompetence!

Odds of Fresno returning to top 15 rank this week?
They're already in the top 10.
Zero. Book your ticket to Vegas.

SEC Champ vs. Bama in the MNC. Book it.

I'd say 70% if we're being serious.
Of course northern Illinois has to lose to open up their bowl slot
I'm sure you didn't intend this, but this grouping is funny because Anaheim is as equally made up a name as Equanimeous.
Also you clearly don't follow SoCal high school football.
Servite sucks.
Poe's Law in action.

The fact that they're having a preset if they're going to charge jaemis leads me to believe they won't charge him. If you were going to you would just go do it.
I've seen people bring up Zimmerman and the OJ Murder case, as instances where they had Press Conferences for announcing charges.
My further guess, the PC will be more about explaining "the reasons why they can't proceed" and completely throw the TPD under the bus.
Only justice will be for the NCAA to declare that having a Police Department protect the football program be a violation of Amateur Sports, and burn FSU to the ground.
Right, the whole thing seems off to me... why would you have a press conference to go throw someone in handcuffs? They don't do this for any normal person do they? Or is it just something that's not widely talked about.
Also, wouldn't that just give someone the chance to... I don't know run from the cops? Not saying he would in this case, but just a thought.
Anyway, isn't he suppose to be on a bus heading out of town on Thursday? Are they just going to sit around and wait for the verdict now? Are they alerted ahead of time? Will the cops show up and now sideswipe the bus in South Carolina and take him back 8 hours into a trip in cuffs?
I know I'm being silly at this point, but I'm tired of this whole thing dragging on. Stop making it a huge media event. If he's guilty go throw him in cuffs... if he's not guilty immediately stop talking about it and don't bring him any connection to the event anymore because it's over and let him continue his life.
The Top is pretty great if you're into unique hipster flare (which my girl is). She lives downtown, so that's a frequent date restaurant. The Jones, on the other hand, is absolutely shit hipster food. The make their own mayonnaise and it's just whipped lard.
As far as Gville chow, I'm always a big fan of Relish and Satchel's. Peachtree Valley is wonderful for breakfast and brunch, and there's that homemade ice cream shop on University and 13th (I think). 4 Rivers BBQ is great, and Hogan's has delicious subs. Gainesville is actually a pretty great place for good food.
The team flight is tomorrow at 7:45 according to his attorney. They are going to have their own press conference after Meggs' (maybe around 6:15 or so he suggested) and Jameis will briefly address the media and discuss the situation in very general terms.
I imagine he'll mention he is sorry to his girlfriend for cheating on her and confirm that he had a relationship of sorts with the accuser for some time and that when he tried to break it off with her the evening prior to his girlfriend arriving into town, things went south and that he is sorry the accuser felt betrayed, etc. This is just my conjecture but I expect it'll be along those lines.
That would be terrible.

If Winston's team is actually having a press conference of their own, I'd have to imagine no charges. I dunno if it's fairly common or not, would just seem utterly bizarre to me for someone arrested to have a PC after the state.

Honestly, given what Pendergast was able to do this year with like 13 defensive players on scholarship, I would rather keep him than go with Wilcox. I would of course love to have Tosh as a replacement and upgrade from Orgeron. It seems like half of the recruits we've missed out on over the last two years have been poached by Tosh specifically.
Looks like Tuiasosopo is the interim head coach for the bowl game.
