LOL Northwestern. All you have to do is punt it into the endzone and instead you give them a runback to the 40, completed hail pass, FG. OT.
I thought those guys were supposed to be smart.
EDIT: And they lose.

Aggie is going to get squashed. LSU's defense may have been better before idiocy lost them a great player, but they aren't right now.

The contortions the SEC "BCS is just fine" folks are going to go through to explain how now we are going to need a playoff because they do not have a team at the top of the standings are going to be fun to watch.

I really dislike A and M. Enough that I was pulling for Bama.
Also, I'm going to predict that the SEC still has a team in the BCS title game.

It's far from over. I still hold out a small hope that my UGA team can back door this whole national title business with a K State loss to Texas, and ND dropping one down the line. EDIT: I don't think Oregon expected this out of Cal. |

Butthurt non-conference school says what? SEC football clearly trumps other conferences. Shit, I love the Big East and can even admit that. Sure, we can parade USC, Oregon, OSU, and K-State around, but don't say that's in the same breath as the SEC. |

The SEC has turned into a weird version of the haves and have nots.
The Haves - South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Texas A&M.
The Nots - Auburn, Kentucky, Vandy, Tennessee, Arkansas, Ole Miss.
Then you have MS State and Missouri who aren't good but don't suck.
However, I don't think the SEC is the best conference anymore. There's too much suck at the bottom to make up for the power at the top. I think it's the Big 12. K State, OU, Texas, Okie State, Texas Tech, TCU, and West Virginia all have powerful offenses with above .500 records and the best non-conference record in the league. Only three teams in the Big 12 is completely irrelevant, and that's Kansas, Baylor, and Iowa State. The SEC has six.

Oregon's going down this weekend to Stanford.
That's my upset pick of the weekend. I'll go into detail as to the why, because most people think I'm batshit crazy for picking it, but Oregon is very run heavy, and Stanford has the best run defense in the nation. I like the matchup with Stanford knocking them off their game.

Oregon's a 20 point favorite. I have no idea if they'll let me put down a money line bet on Stanford, but if they do I'd expect it's around 6-1. |

I'd bet at 20 pts that it's closer to 8:1 for Stanford to win. I don't think Oregon will cover the 20, but I think they'll win. What's the over/under on this game, 80? |

64.5 actually, Stanford's games have never gone over 48 once, and that was Arizona absolutely flinging it.
Granted I think if Oregon can pass all over Stanford, it will be silly. That's not their game though. They love the run. They set it all up on the run.

Ah, just noticed it is the annual "week of patsies" for the SEC so we can happily ignore it.

Much to the chagrin of season ticket holders like myself who have to find another sucker to pay face for bullshit games. LSU plays Ole Miss. Wake plays ND. Oregon plays Stanford. Tennessee plays Vandy to find out who's the shittiest team in the state. K State plays Baylor. Ohio State v. Wiscy has potential to be interesting, but it ends up being crap because of the suspensions. Also, there's a bunch of terrible Big10 games at noon. |

Oklahoma-WVU should be fun.
Also USC-UCLA, Rutgers-Cincy and Okie State-TTech could all be fun games to watch.

I'm going to the Bama-WCU game for free. Normally I'd be all pissed that it's an 11:20 game, but that just gives me more time to hang out with people post-game. I have loads of folks to visit. |

Did you watch last week's game? Cal tried that. "Put it on the Quarterback." Didn't work out so well. Yes Oregon is primary run, but when you stuff the box that hard the play action eats your lunch. Oregon will make the points. The weakness of the team right now, as always, is their defense. This time due to a pile of injuries. The speed of the defense has slowed down, plus the third string group doesn't have the "football intelligence" that the first and second string guys do. |

Interested in the OKSt&TTech, but the others... maybe UCLA&USC. OK/WVU ... maybe in the first weeks of this season, but WVU burnt itself out in stunning fashion getting their asses handed to them 4 weeks in a row now, about to be 5. Tenn&Vandy will probably be Dooley's swan song loss and he'll have to go burn those pants. |

I did watch it, and Cal hung with them for a while before they eventually did what Cal does. Outside of a really really really dumb personal foul penalty in the first quarter, Cal takes Oregon into the second quarter tied at 7. Missed FGs, terrible penalties, and an absolutely awful 3rd down conversion rate cost Cal bigtime. Oregon just ran it up in the second half because Cal gave up. Let's also be fair, Cal's run defense is total ass on a national level, and they still forced Oregon to go airborne. Stanford's is #1 in the nation. They have a top 25 turnover margin. Stanford is #1 in the nation in sacks. They will blitz, they will gamble, and they will get turnovers. They also give up yards. However, with the exception of Arizona, that hasn't translated to a ton of points against their defense. |

Nice call, Paelos. Looks like the SEC's back in the action. Bama versus Notre Dame for the title, right?
Interestingly, in last week's BCS it was
1. K State
2. Oregon
3. ND
4-9 were all SEC schools.
I think that if ND loses it is at least plausible that we'll see another all SEC title game.
