We're back. Another week and well, quite honestly...very little has changed. There was some sorting of the lower ranked teams, but again...nothing has changed. Florida or Alabama is going to play Texas in the BCS Championship Game. It's done. It's been decreed. You can't change it. The rest of you...you will be playing for the other games. It's already been decided. Long before there was anything that you could do about it.
Actually there were a few surprises last week. Iowa losing wasn't a surprise, it was just a when question not an if. LSU, again, not a surprise that they couldn't beat Alabama and no...just stop crying about the "Missed" interception. Does any "Real" College Football Fan think that Jarrett Lee was going to take LSU 65 yards in 2 minutes to win the game?
Anyway, this weeks clip the Major talks about there being no escape or the dozen will be executed, much the way that we already know who is in the BCS...you can't escape the reality. Thanks for providing the clips You Tube:
Now, as Casey is oh so fond of saying it's "On with the Countdown".....
The Dirty Dozen:
1) Florida 9-0 (We were quick to put them back at #1 as Brother Jon pointed out. My argument was that they looked like it vs. Georgia. The question now is how do you explain eeking out a game at Vanderbilt? You don't. Remember, it's pre-ordained. This Week: Florida 23, South Carolina 13)
2) Texas 9-0 (They are taking care of business. Last week's win at UCF was allegedly because the media caused UCF to lose...so says George O'Leary RIGHT HERE. Right...Texas is also pre-ordained. Who in the name of all that is Big 12 will beat them...nobody. This Week: Texas 31, Baylor 8)
3) Alabama 9-0 (SEC Conspiracy theorists cry that a missed interception last week was part of the SEC trying to protect the Tide. Uh...no. We talked about this earlier. It just DOESN'T MATTER. This Week: Alabama 17, Miss. St. 13)
4) TCU 9-0 (Did San Diego St. play there JV last week? TCU just keeps taking care of business. They only have one true test left, win it and it's which BCS game is going to have to take them. This Week: TCU 31, Utah 26)
5) Cincinnati 9-0 (I like this team, but there is no excuse for almost blowing last weeks game. Plus, the QB question is going to now start hovering around them. It's been proven you can't keep 2 QB's on the field and happy. We will see how it plays out. This Week: Cincy 39, W.Va. 21)
6) Boise St. 9-0 (Just cruisin'. They are going to be hurt by the fact that they haven't played a varsity game in a couple of weeks. And they are just barely beating the JV. Still, they haven't lost, so that counts for something. This Week: Boise St. 30, Idaho 20)
7) Ga. Tech 8-1 (We love that Coach Paul Johnson has some balls. Great call to win in OT last week. But, we've known CPJ since the 80's when he was at Ga. Southern and it wasn't a surprise. Really, he is the same coach now as he was then. This Week: Ga. Tech 28, Duke 17)
8) Pittsburgh 8-1 (Somehow, the Wannstache has his team in BCS contention. Well, they are pretty good. And deep. There test comes in December vs. Cincinnati. Win and you are in. This Week: Pitt 34, Notre Dame 31)
9) Oregon 7-2 (Yeah, they tanked versus a fairly good Stanford team. Not a total surprise after they'd beaten USC the week before. It will be interesting to see how they roll LeGarrette Blount back into the team. This Week: Oregon 37, Arizona 21)
10) Miami 7-2 (They are still way too inconsistent. The 2 losses were games they might should have won (I know...bad grammar). Stop the mistakes and we could be talking BCS for them. But...we're not. This Week: UPSET SPECIAL North Carolina 23, Miami 21)
11) LSU 7-2 (Was the Alabama game a "Slobberknocker" or what? Boy, they had a ton of injuries and it ended up hurting them. They still are better than most. Let's see what Lester Miles has left up his sleeve. This Week: LSU 31, La. Tech 24)
12) Houston 8-1 (Yeah, I said it! I just don't like USC or Iowa or the other "Big Name" teams still lingering around the Top 10. How about these guys? How can you not like Case Keenum? So what if there games resemble pinball. It's fun to watch. This Week: Houston 71, UCF Media 25...George O'Leary blames the fans this time)
Special Mention- Memphis 2-7...Just for letting Tommy West speak to the media...after FIRING HIM!!!!
The Bottom of the Barrel:
5) Washington State 1-8 (Bwaaahhaaaahahaahahaaahahahahahahahahaha!!!! This Week: UCLA 128, Wash. St. 3)
4) W.Kentucky 0-9 (No, firing David Elson isn't going to spare you from this, though you do move up closer to escaping the poll this week. It doesn't matter if it's your 1st season in the Sun Belt...you still suck. This Week: La. Monroe 28, WKY 10)
3) Rice Krispies 0-9 (Even adding marshmallows will not help this team. For those who aren't old enough, Kellogg's tinkered with Rice Krispies, adding the puffy, foam form of candy (they are a candy aren't they?). Anyway, they killed the taste and doubled the sugar content...Hooray! This Week: Tulane 40, Rice Krispies 39 Marshmallows)
2) Eastern Michigan 0-9 (Ewww. Really, we don't know much about this team, but we suspect that there is a reason for that. With the exception of the fighting LeFevour's, the directional Michigan schools usually aren't very good. This Week: W. Mich. 30, E. Mich. 28)
1) New Mexico 0-9 (Okay, so now they admit they messed up the Locksley punching out his coach incident. Isn't it a little late for that now? It still doesn't explain why Locksley was hired in the 1st place. Me thinks that Locksley won't be the only one look for employ this winter. This Week: BYU 113, New Mexico 10)
Last Week: 13-3; Overall: 101-33. Good thing I don't pick the spread (not the offense) though.
