I'll take it. At least there's a lot to look forward to in the upcoming years.   And Paterno is back for another year right? Yes, and I am certain he's going until he physically can't anymore... Even that means he dies while on the field

^ LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!

Michigan State is on top, yes.  If we (Wisconsin) want to make it to the conference championship at the Rose Bowl, we need to win next week and have Michigan State lose.  Ohio State is inconsequential at this point.

Oh wait, I'm retarded.  My bad.

^ The champion will be decided by who is higher in the BcS. Stupid really.

As someone who loves running, watching GA Tech is just something 

I don't quite see the need for the triple option at DIV I-A level (though it absolutely works for smaller time schools). You could use the spread to neutralize bigger/better teams and GA Tech is no slouch, they can get a good QB if he wanted. I guess it does keep the opponent off the field!

Good lord....411 rushing yards on 77 attempts and another game blow, potentially, by a bad kick
And that OSU/OU game was nuts.

Stole a laptop at Florida, for that matter. The kid's bad news, for sure, but he wouldn't be the first NFL player to get away with murder. Too bad the Ravens don't need a quarterback.

Is it too early to gloat here?

Well, now you do. UNLV is terrible, but UN-Reno (the Wolfpack who beat Boise) are quite decent and are joining the MWC the year after next. I've mentioned this before, but I see the MWC becoming the next power conference.

Yep. When GT gets off its game and starts doing fancy stuff, they tend to lose. I don't think I've seen anyone actually stop the triple option, but I've seen teams mutilate awkward pass attempts and broken draw plays. I just don't know if GT will ultimately have success, though, because recruits will want the appearance of being great. It's about flash, and while GT may win 10 games in a season, nobody notices because they do it 6 yards at a time.

Great week for kickers, wasn't it?

Like I said before, had I had any money I would have put it on Arkansas to beat LSU...I guess I would have won a lot of money .   This sure puts another twist into this whole BCS krapp system. Auburn vs Oregon for the BCS trophy......but after that then what?

Gotta love the brilliance of Jordan Jefferson. Picked up the ball like he was going to throw it away (smart move) and then just takes a sack. That kid may have physical talents, but he doesn't have that football sense. Can't feel the pocket, can't read the defense to save his life, picks a receiver before the play starts, etc, etc. But man, the SEC is such a sad conference. Too good for its own good. Let's hope that South Carolina doesn't ruin the SEC's 7th national championship.

Also, did I mention that Oregon is not in my top 5? Such a horribly-overrated team.

Of course rooting for Nebraska over Oklahoma. 

go Ducks!
