Frak me. That was a tough loss against FSU.

Yep, Bama/A&M game was a good one. Don't see anyone really stopping them - maybe the Steelers :-) My Buckeye's were outplayed last night...Happy Valley my butt...
Another great Saturday for college ball!
ps look out for Western Michigan, those MAC teams are good and fun to watch..

Very cool.
For the Bama/LSU game I had to pull out the Bushmill's to pour into the whiskey glass at the half, as Johnny Walker Black didn't seem to get us any traction.
Both the wife and I were very wrong on the game.
I had Fournette at 65 yards and a touchdown, she had him at 85 yards and a touchdown.
37 yards on 31 carries were in neither of our predictions.
Still, the Alabama defense didn't score a single time! Dammit, wtf? Give 'em a week off and they get too relaxed!
Seriously, what a great game! LSU has really turned around, and it was anybody's ball game. The score of 10-0 doesn't reflect the level of play LSU put up, that's for sure.

Arkansas - the ultimate spoiler team. Never, ever count them out to wreck someone's season.

It seems like ESPN would just love an Alabama vs. Michigan Championship game. Can you imagine the hype? Michigan sure looks good, but they haven't really played anybody yet. The Ohio State game will tell the tale. I am surprised Washington is ranked higher. Meanwhile, my MSU Spartans just flat out stink this year.
That Bama/LSU game was unbearable to watch for me personally. It was literally about one in six plays where someone actually made more than a yard or two.

Gotta love defensive battles.
We still have MS State (okay, we should be okay), Chattanooga (ug. Can we just send them a check and avoid the chance of injury?), and then Auburn, which will be close.
In fact, if Auburn beats us that's it for our season, and that's not out of the realm of possibility.
However, if the stars align right, it could be glorious.
Alabama (1) vs. Washington(4) and Michigan (2) vs. Clemson (3)
Then Alabama vs. Michigan.
Then we celebrate under the glowing cheer of SEC, SEC.

Alabama is worrying me, as this is the second game without a defensive touchdown; the defense also allowed Mississippi State to score more than LSU did against us.
Click to reveal..
LOL. 51-3, and we had Hurts passing and by the middle of the third quarter we were playing so far down the roster the cheerleaders were being sized for pads.

Pitt outta nowhere for the win!
I don't like to talk bad about other teams, but Clemson is a decent team in a weak conference and has eked out wins all season. The committee may still put them in the Nationals, though.
Georgia beat Auburn (what a fight!), so 'Bama locks the SEC West. So our season gets five more games.
Watching WA against USC....shocking. USC? Pitt part two?

Reality finally caught up with Michigan. Just too hard to run the table. They are a different team outside the Big House. They play like that against Ohio State and they are going to get waxed. Looks like ABC and ESPN just might not get that Sabban / Harbough final after all. That was definitely a great day of college football. Those games were wild.

I still think Washington should go to the Nationals if they prevail for the rest of the season. I don't understand why they've been dumped so low in the rankings.
1). One loss, and that to a ranked team. That's a hellava accomplishment no matter how one slices it. 2) Conference champions. 3) With all things being equal, it'll be good to see the PAC-12 at the Nationals. While I cringe when I read stuff saying X team or Y conference should be included because it's their turn or for inclusiveness or any other pablum, I can't see why a one loss PAC-12 Champion shouldn't be thrown a bone.
I also reject the "strength of Conference" argument against WA....if it was valid, we wouldn't see any ACC team represented. Clemson is good despite their opposition (in the main), and they deserve a shot for the trophy.
It's the worst sort of circular logic - the PAC-12 doesn't go to the Nationals because they aren't of the same quality as the B1G. If they were as good, we'd know it because they'd be selected to go.
