Unbelievable! Oklahoma loses in a contest it had no business losing! That never happens - expect in each of the past 10 years. I always kick myself for not being able to pick that game because you just KNOW it's coming. How Texas Tech lost two games with THAT offense is beyond me but they were a lot of fun to watch. Yes, the wife and I made it to 1:30 AM to see the conclusion. Of course we had an adrenaline rush going from the end of Michigan State/Wisconsin. Ahhh, the old Hail Mary off the Helmet play - just like we drew it up!
Speaking of Michigan State, here's what I recommend for practice this week. Each player and member of the coaching staff received 18 strikes from a cane, Singapore style. That would be one strike for every point you LOST TO NOTRE DAME by! Seriously? How...how did that happen.
Here's a question - does this ever happen in the NFL?
How HUGE is the build-up going to be to Bama LSU on Nov. 5. Each team has a bye week coming off of absolute domination of two name SEC programs. How big is this game going to be? How much will it be talked about? Does the NFL generate this kind of buzz over anything short of the Superbowl? And this is mid-season. That's why I love college football.
Is anyone having a quieter season than Kansas State? If you didn't know, and you couldn't be faulted for it, the Wildcats are undefeated. Among their victories, they've beaten Baylor, Missouri, Miami, and Sooner-slayer Texas Tech. They get Oklahoma and Oklahoma state back-to-back over the next two weeks. Probably a loss or two in there but they have as strong a resume as anyone in the country right now.
Hate to tell you this Boise: Struggling to beat a 3-3 Air Force team at home is going to doom you. That's the kind of thing that happens when you are perceived to have a cupcake schedule. I'm not saying it is fair, and in late October, a W is a W no matter how you slice it, but the reality is - there is, in fact, a different standard for you.
Remember when Colorado was an Elite Program? Boy that was a terrific add Pac 12! Oregon 45, Colorado 2.
While we are on the expanded conference topic...Utah's entree into the Pac 12 isn't going so well either. To date, the two new league players are 0 for 7 in league play.
Clemson Can? I'm going to put it in black and white now. I see a rematch coming for the Hokies in the ACC title game. And I'm also going to say that will not work out well for the Tigers.
Nittany Lion Love? Ever think you'd see a Penn State team at 7-1 and 4-0 in Big Ten play and it be completely ignored by the press? Be honest with yourself, did you even know JoePa's group was playing that well (that question does not go to Hot Rats or White Out)? They get the suddenly Zook-like Illini next week but the real test is the following week when the Cornhuskers come to Happy Valley. They get past that one and that will make for a huge season-ender against Wisconsin!
Why does New Mexico even field a football team? Seriously.
