Conventional Wisdom: Week Twelve
Week 11Date: 11/10/2004
Things have gotten crazy and CW just didn't know what to do... but we're back to give you the real scoop on the ups and downs in college football.

| Conventional Wisdom |  |
Some slack-ass loser hasn't posted a CW in two weeks. Looks like I might have to take a pay cut. |
| Alabama |  |
Beating Mississippi State (and Sylvester Croom) to become bowl eligible is great for the Tide, but with LSU and Auburn left on the schedule, it could get worse before it gets better. |
| Maurice Clarett | |
It's not that CW doesn't believe him -- he's probably telling the truth -- but the odds of him being taken seriously are so low he should've convinced someone else to come forward. |
| Northern IL | |
Last year's media darling isn't getting much press this year, but Toledo beat them for the 11th straight time. Kinda sad, isn't it? |
| Florida |  |
Expecting any human being to fill the shoes of Steve Spurrier is foolishness, but was Zook the victim of excessively high expectations, or his own inability to be a Head Coach? |
| Miami | |
You're kidding, right? Two straight losses? Ha ha. The Big funny joke is over, Hurricanes. You can go back to winning now. |
| The Liberty Bowl | |
CW doesn't think Utah deserves a BCS berth -- this much we know -- but if, playing by the "rules" (such that they are) Utah finishes in the top 6, The Liberty Bowl shouldn't hold them back just for their own selfish motives. |
| Auburn | |
Running the table in the SEC is about as tough as it gets... but the Tigers shouldn't start packing their bags yet -- the Iron Bowl has seldom been kind to the favored team. |

It will be sweet if Virginia wins the ACC this year, with all the talk about Maimi and Virginia Tech finally giving FSU some competition, as if their where no other teams in the ACC before the season.
Clemson... North Carolina, yeah those are the teams Miami was expected to struggle with.
ROLL TIDE!
