ESPN College GameDay headed to Florida-LSU
Get ready, Gainesville, because ESPN College GameDay is headed back to the Swamp for the first time in nearly three years. ESPN has confirmed that the crew will be on campus this week in advance of the LSU game and conducting its live broadcast from outside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Saturday morning.
ESPN's last GameDay telecast from UF was for the 2003 Florida-Florida State matchup.

It's about DAMN time the SEC gets respect. The #1 conference all year and on Separation Saturday they opt to go to LA to see USC vs. Nebraska when they shouldve been in Rocky Top or to the LSU/ Auburn game which were classic SEC battles and the USC game was a cupcake Pac10 blowout for 3 quarters.
Don't forget, Tennessee/ UGA is gone be a good one too!

Mark Richt is due to lose, I think. Doesn't the luck have to run out sometime? I wouldn't have a problem as a georgia fan except a close game to a 0 win team would probably not be fun to watch. I pick tennessee to win but when two great football teams I respect get together to play I really don't care which one wins. Florida LSU I call LSU to win and Florida to be EXPOSED.

wow, You mean to tell me that the sec finally gets graced with the corso crew.
The SEC is by far the best in the country, so before you hollar go trojans. Take a look at them Gators or them Auburn Tigers. The sec has a crew of teams that cannot be wreckened with.....

Mayor,did you see the Georgia/Ole Miss game or the Georgia/Colorado game?Granted,Georgia beat South Carolina 18-0.Alright,but the only 2 teams they have beat up are Western Ky and UAB.I got the Vols winning that one.I'm on the fence on these games.
Oklahoma & Texas
LSU & Florida
USC beats Washington
Oregon beats Cal
TT beats MissouriI think the Oregon/Cal game should be a great one as will LSU/Florida and OU/Texas.Some great games this week!T-Mac

I saw Georgia / Colorado. I think Georgia will rally around this game at home and Ainge is due for another meltdown. I'm actually a Tennessee Vol fan...
I am going to the Oregon Cal game in Berkeley, don't have TIVO (I'm old school) so I am going to miss a few games on Saturday. Hopefully the UOAA will have a TV at their pre-game tailgate party.
Away games are a drag though because you get the absolute worst seats. Memorial still uses Porta-ets and they don't sell beer to the great unwashed. Makes more sense to stay home and watch it...but my wife wants to actually go to the game in the Peoples Republic of Berkeley!!! How's that for a great spouse?

Mayor and T-Mac, I disagree with ya on 2 things. I think that the Oregon Cal game is unpredictable and I think that Missouri will beat Texas Tech. Other than that, we all see eye to eye on the rest. LSU and Flordia will be good, and I am excited as h@ll about OU/Texas. I really hope the Sooners can pull it off. I guess we'll find out. Later. Go Sooners! Beat Texas!

Neville,
I believe that ESPN's not going to the Red River Shootout because it's at the Cotton Bowl and not on a college campus.
Also they were just in Austin. If both UT and OU were undefeated (and yes the Sooners should be!) it might be different.
Too bad though, because the three caballeros could have Steaks and Martini's at Bob's Steak and Chop House on Lemmon and Wycliff in the great city of Dallas. Best steak in the nation from my experience.

The Pac-10's Top Six teams most recent records against SEC competition. We'll start with the lowly Cal Bears:
1987 California 12 Tennessee 38
2006 California 18 Tennessee 35
Disgraceful!2005 Arizona State 31 L.S.U. 35
1989 Washington 34 Florida 7
2002 Oregon 36 Mississippi State 13
2003 Oregon 42 Mississippi State 34I know these games don't count!
2000 U.C.L.A. 35 Alabama 24
2001 U.C.L.A. 20 Alabama 17Say what? No way!
2002 U.S.C. 24 Auburn 17
2003 U.S.C. 23 Auburn 0
2005 U.S.C. 70 Arkansas 17
2006 U.S.C. 50 Arkansas 14Hmmm! in the last games where the SEC would be brave enough to take on the elite teams of the Pac-10: the score reads Pac-10 9-3 while outscoring the SEC 395 to 251. Or, is that 32.9 to 20.9? Thirty-three points a game on those tremendous defenses? No way!
Now, we clearly have a picture of why the SEC really does not like to play against the upper echelon Pac-10 teams. But, hey, they can always schedule Arizona, Stanford, Oregon State and Washington State - they might get a convincing win somewhere in here if they put one of their very best teams up against one of our worst.

Tommie:
That's a ridiculous post. You criticize SEC for playing weak PAC 10 teams, but then you list USC routing Arkansas? Since when is Arkansas a top SEC team? Woooo! Whipped a 4-7 team!
And USC defeated Auburn in 2002 and 2003, when Auburn was down. UCLA's defeats of Alabama in 2000 and 2001 was when Alabama was down. Come to think of it, Alabama is still down.
It's kind of difficult to schedule teams in the future knowing how they're gonna be 7 years in advance. When LSU scheduled Arizona in 1998, they were coming off a fiesta bowl victory over Notre Dame.
And the lowly Cal Bears? Who the hell else is in your pathetic league?
Tell me what your record is against OUR TOP 5 in the last 5 years (since 2002). LSU, Auburn, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida.
I seem to remember LSU beating the crap out of Arizona (twice), beating Oregon St., beating ASU on the road, Tennessee crushing then 10th ranked Cal (the only supposed threat to USC). Oh yeah, that same Arizona team that LSU manhandled gave USC fits...

People:
I am being fair and balanced. I am not putting down the elite teams in the SEC. I am only showing that the better teams in the Pac-10 do just as well as the SEC's top teams do. I just took the last few games of each top Pac-10 team and showed how they did against SEC competition regardless of who it was. I did not show how Tennessee clobbered UCLA on several occasions way back when. But, they did. This year the SEC is once again the top conference - so far. But, as we all know - the Top Pac-10 and SEC representatives rarely meet. This is in no way a poor reflection on the SEC because the top Pac-10 teams have done well. I'm just pointing out that the Pac-10 can play well also. One win over California is not the end all of end all's. It was a great win for Tennessee, and it may loom larger later on as Cal continues to bury opponents, but it does not mean the Pac-10 is a bad conference because Cal lost to Tennessee in Knoxville. The problem is: the Pac-10 never gets any credit for the games that we do win. For instance, when USC hammers Arkansas - Arkansas is all of a sudden a terrible team. Same went when Auburn got beat. But, years ago when Tennessee was mauling UCLA - Tennessee got to be a great team. And, they were. UCLA wasn't that bad in those days. The Vols just made them look that way. Same thing with Arkansas. They are not that bad. USC just has their number.

Gentlemen - let's get back on topic: ESPN GameDay or UF-LSU.
We've got 14 threads debating the SEC-Pac10, which is about 14 too many.

Fanblogs needs to start blocking posts from Mooka, Tommie Trojan, T-Mac, and The Mayor until they can read the thread they are posting on and realize that not every thread is SEC vs. Pac-10. There have been many good threads that these fools have ruined with their mindless rantings. If you look at all the previous posts, they keep saying the same thing, and the only common thread is they have nothing to do with the thread they are posting on!

Okay Kevin:
My take is that LSU beats Florida in Gainsville. I consider LSU to be a premier team and I am not quite sure that Florida is there yet. I may be wrong again. Both teams have great QB's, but physically, LSU has been imposing for several years now. I think that will be the difference in the game. I realize that Florida may be able to do alot of dink and dunk things and possibly pull off the upset. But, I don't think that LSU is gonna let what happened to them at Auburn happen again this time.

I'm with you Kevin, this Pac-10 / SEC thing has gone on far enough and no one is going to change their opinion on the subject. You don't see Big 10 or Big 12 fans weighing in on their conferences.
Let's start focusing on our teams instead of SEC vs Pac-10....really who cares?
Go Ducks!

How about just "1" thread for the SEC /Pac-10 blogging garbage. That way a when a new thread detours back to this stupid subject you can transfer it to the SEC Pac 10 "You are, no you are, Infinity, Infinty Plus One" vault.
I am guilty of participating in this nonsense but will do my best to refrain from beating this dead horse.

"Oh yeah, that same Arizona team that LSU manhandled gave USC fits..."
finally, somebody else sees it. before LSU played ARIZONA, it was "watch out, they'll give them all they want. it'll be a close game." after the game it was "LSU just played a weaker team". and then look what the great almighty USC does against the same team. bottom line LSU made ARIZONA look that bad!!!!!

I'm wondering why no one is arguing the ACC's case this year.... Oh wait, nevermind. Even though we have 5 ranked teams this week everyone knows it will probably be two or less very soon. Especially since just about every ACC team has only conference play left. Man we look like CRAP this year and our OOC games are total yawners with like let us see....
GT - ND
FL - FSU (annual game)
CLM - SC (annual game)
GT - GA (annual game)
UM - Louisville
Should about cover the nationally televised OOC games (saturday ones are all I'm counting, they televise any pillow fight on Thursday).
What happened to VT-WVU? I thought they played every year...ACC play is boring this year!
Course we would probably have two other ranked teams if we didn't put trash like Rutgers, Missouri, and Boise State in the top 25 just because they are 0 loss. 'Course Wake isn't really top 25 material either, but if they beat clemson next week (like they did 2 out of the last three years and almost did the other year as well)....BTW 5 teams in the top 25 is tied for first as a side note with the SEC.
Then it is the big 12 with 4
All other BCS coferences have 3
The last two teams are trash Boise ( ) and that Independent no one has ever heard of Notre Dame. Aren't they like new to I-A or something? Just got a football program?Mooka said:

Kevin,
I thank you for that. It drives me nuts when I go to every thread interested in the topic just to find more SEC overrated talk, by the same 2 dudes.This game is going to be the best game this weekend for sure, and it surprises me as well that they weren't there for the AU v LSU game. These are top ten match-ups!!! They deserve the spot light. LSU will face for the second time this season a top ten opponent! As you could see against Miss St. LSU can score quickly. If they did nothing but pass all day I think they could score 100 points. Okay, maybe not that many, but probably. We all know they have the #1 defense in the nation. My pick of course is LSU by 3. If LSU can't get pressure on Leak like they did last year, he will have a big day and it will probably be a high scoring game. Looking forward to this one!
Tampa Hurricane,What was your point pertaining to this thread? In fact after reading a few of yours on different threads I don't think you ever have a point other than to read your own blog. Blow it out your A__.

FSU,
You are right, ACC is pretty boring to watch this year. The game of the year was the first game of the season vs. Miami and that was quite a yawner as well. For some strange reason i don't think the Game Day crew will be going to another ACC game. I would still keep my eye out for VT if I were you though.

If the LSU/Florida game holds true to the current trends, this game will probably be decided by 1 big play and 1 contrevoursial call by the officials. But whatever the case, I'm sure it will be a great game. I don't think the best team in the country lies in the SEC, but I definately think that some of the better teams in the country are found in the SEC and that makes for great match-ups and great football. I'll go with Florida over LSU 24-20. And I have no idea why!

The Mayor, just to let you know its never been PAC vs SEC with me (and its not now). When some SEC fans were hyping their conference by bringing up ~attendence figures~ and stuff like that, Ive interjected to temper that Hype... when someones made an acinine comment about USC and by extention, the PAC, then is when I've responded. And most of it has/had come from the SEC fan-Camp.
This year, at this point in the season, the SEC is the Top conference. I have no reservation about saying that. Same as I had no reservation about saying the SEC was the 5th ranked Conf a year ago.
Anyway, this week looks like "Seperation Saturday part II"...
Florida (5-0) - LSU (4-1)
Oregon (4-0) - Cal (4-1)
Geo (5-0) - Tenese (4-1)
USC (4-0) - Washington (4-1)
Wake (5-0) - Clemson (4-1)
Auburn (5-0) - Arkansas (3-1)
Mizzu (5-0) - TTech (4-1)
Texas (4-1) - Oklahoma (3-1)
GTech (4-1) - Maryland (3-1)T-Mac said:

Here's my picks:
LSU over Florida
Oregon over PROB
Tennessee over Georgia
USC over Washington
Clemson over Wake Forest
Missouri over Texas Tech
Ga Tech over Maryland
Oklahoma over Texas
Arkansas over AuburnArkansas has had two weeks to prepare and has played some stiff competition already. They'll come to play. Oklahoma has their ears back for this one. California will find a way to choke in the Big Game. Georgia's time has run out. Missouri could be for real. We know Texas Tech can't really be. Florida gets smacked around in this one. Clemson and Georgia Tech are just good teams. They'll both win.

Sorry, You obviously have a far superior IQ than I'll ever have. Wish that I could hang with your superior intellect - but, sadly, some things just were never meant to be. I just kinda like to stick to the facts - ya know. I'm not much for the hypethetical mumbo-jumbo. I'm kinda like my "Dear Ol' Dad" So-Cal. We just find it fascinating that none of the numbers ever add up to anything any of you people are talking about. That's probably because we're just not as smart as you are - and, we truly have accepted that. It's not that we actually think that we'll ever conquer your superior mind set - it's just that we think there are other people around the country (who are not smart either) who enjoy the facts also. Now, we realize that the truth is very offensive to certain people in the population. Always has been. But, sadly, me and So Cal and Mayor are just old soldiers who cannot seem to see it any other way. It's sad that we would resort to defending our conference with numbers and examples that are offensive to those who have far superior minds than we have - and cannot even begin to comprehend the sub-human thought processes that we must possess in order to come up with these absurd conclusions.
We'll try real hard in the future to make sure that we never state an obvious conclusion that could hurt somebody's feelings. In fact, I've enrolled in counseling today and am going to do my best to seek treatment for my dreaded disease.Tommie T

Mayor,post 41.I think the LSU O-Line will have their way with the Florida D-Line.The reason for this is because the Bama O-Line pushed the Florida D-Line around for 2 1/2 quarters of football.Florida won that game.I really think LSU takes this one for many reasons.First,I think LSU has the better O-Line.Second,I think the LSU D-Line is better as well.Third,Jamarcus Russell is underrated and seems to come through in the clutch.Fourth,the LSU defense.I'm not going to try to project a score because in the SEC you never know.I think LSU takes this one.I also think the gators lose to Auburn next week.After that though I don't see Florida losing another one.I see a 10-2 Florida team in the SEC Champ Game.T-Mac

Tommie,
Ark over AU? Interesting pick. Off the top I don't agree at all, but after thinking about it, ehhh, maybe. My feeling is if AU even half way prepares for Ark they will beat em up. Ark's weapon I guess has been rushing, but wait til they face this fast D line. AU is no joke up front. Ark will have to pass to win this one.
T-Mac,
Who is your pick for AU v Ark?

Florida will win. they already beat the 2nd best team in the SEC (Alabama)(said in jest). LSU will get beat by 2 scores. Auburn will lose to Florida by 1 score. and auburn will lose to bama by 1 score. thats just how it is my friend.
ya know what sucks?? This PAC 1/SEC debate will never end because well never have a NC or BCS bowl game where well have that matchup. This year its an automatic USC/OSU NC game. next year it will be a USC/Texas NC game. no other PAC teams are good enough to make a BCS game so that possibility is out.

I say he sucks it up for the home crowd and then Herbstreet goes with the Tigers, unless he's working the game and isn't allowed to pick a winner (he'll also pick Cal as he hates the Ducks!).
Can anyone tell me why Herbstreet can't weigh in on the winner if he's calling the game?????

This week will be a tough game for the Gators, but the Gators have a lot to prove. New coach, which he still doesn't have his "own" team yet, senior QB Leak and Freshman Tebow. All have their ups and downs but the way Meyers is coaching we are going to see a strong game on Saturday against LSU. It may only be a 1 point win, but a win is a win.

Just looking for total vindication on this one. I figure Arkansas has had two weeks. I know it's a long shot. But, I have noticed that some of the better games played have happened when the other team has time to prepare. USC made Nebraska look silly with those two weeks. Both Auburn and LSU clobbered Arizona and Wazzou while USC struggled on only one week to prepare. Same for some of Auburn and Georgia's troubles. I don't think that great teams can stay up for every single dog game they have to play. This could be the "trap game" for Auburn - as I think that Arkansas is a better team than South Carolina is. We all knew that Wazzou would give USC trouble last week. The Mayor called it right on the money. So, should Arkansas win the game - my feeling is that all things would be turned back around. It's a stretch or a prayer to say the least. I'd really rather Auburn or Florida run the table though. I think the SEC deserves an unbeaten team playing for the title.

Watch how the top defense pressures leak and watch how the florida defense handles faster recievers then what they faced at Tennesee. I don't think FL O-Line is ready for the speed up the middle. Having watched the AU -LSU game and Auburn having one of the better lines in College Football, The LSU tigers win 31 to 17 (mostly on defensive scores)
It should be a good game. I'm looking forward to it!

Why hasn't anyone mentioned that the top FOUR teams in defense this year are all in the SEC?
UGA 6.8 ppg
LSU 7.4
Auburn 8.2
UF 9.4not to mention UT, USC, and Vandy are in the top 35. Playing in a conference when defense reigns is proof that the quality of play is higher and that the style of play corresponds to the NFL. Watching bad teams try and score more points than the other (Pac-10) is so much worse than watching good teams try and stop each other. Where each play and penalty can completely change the game is what its all about. the sec IS college football. no debating it.

Vandy Dandy first off you need to look at who those teams have played. Auburn and LSU have both played 5 games, but has only faced one good opponent, each other. UF has also only faced one good team and Georgia has taken the first 5 weeks of the season off opponent wise. It is going to be interesting to see what these defenses look like when they face college teams instead of the high school teams the SEC likes to face OOC. Second you also need to notice that in total defense they are:
LSU 1
UGA 6 tied
UF 13
Auburn 17Tommie Trojan said:

Nice pick on that Iowa State upset special. Callahan blows and I don't think anyone in Nebraska even understands why? Wouldn,t surprise me at all! We argued them all off season that the multitude of three-star recruits were not gonna help them at all. They think Callahan will somehow miraculously translate them into 5-star 1st team all-americans. Can't happen.

Gameday has been so Anti-SEC. The SEC has 5 teams in the top 13, 4 in the top 10. The south gets No Respect.
Example: Why does ND get it's own link on the ESPN page. Over-Rated!!!!!!
Lucky comeback over hapless Michigan State. Mmmmmm - sorry, off the topic :)LSU was conservative in their loss to Auburn. Had the games not been shorted this year their 1st and Goal on the Auburn 4 would have probably ended as a Win.
This time they will not be conservative. LSU over Florida 28 - 10. Even with the Gators highly rated defense.CFB_CRZY said:

Vandy Dandy, your point is very good. Unfortunetly (unlike me) some people think defensive games are boring. Me I like alot of hard hitting, chin straps flying, Remember me smack downs, Try it again i dare you,like games. Tha AU vs LSU was a perfect example. In fact Auburn is still recoving and so is LSU. I don't mean in play i mean their players.
SEC defense all the way. Put up those track shoes and look for some hitting in the LSU FL game! Show some spine!

We all have. We've noticed that none of those teams have played any real competition yet. Something like 15 of 17 games have been played against real substandard competition (Division 1-AA team and whatnot). It doesn't mean anything yet. I'm sure though - that the SEC will lead the country in defense when all is said and done. They will also be last in scoring offense - that's just a bi-product of not being able to score on their own defenses. Games are what matters - not stats.

I know one thing about you: you have some severe emotional problems. Were you section 8? Did you wet the bed in the barracks in order to try and discharge with a "general". Man, you seem really scared. What happened, man? See something that you didn't like? Hear something that you didn't like? Do something that you didn't really want to? Sounds like SOS to me! Too bad you have to take everything so dayum personally. Well, luckily for you, I don't want to know you. So your safe.

I can tell you this though, if it were up to me (and it never will be), there would not be one set of boots on the ground - but, there would be millions of "birds in the air" until there was not one single rock that wasn't turned into sand. Iraq would be the world's largest "glass factory" if I could have it my way. So, I'm sorry that you got caught up in that. The problem is: we don't have any "stand-up guys" backing our troops up. What's going on there is just the same thing that was going on 35-40 years ago. It's a shame.

Hey Auburn Fan I like the part about the missed feild goals and extra point.Its sad to say, but Oklahoma had a FG blocked at the end of their Oregon game,They tend to forget that part.
Texas Special teams are awesome Blocked feild goals and punts,returning punts for touchdowns are one of the teams greatest stregths.

Tommie T.,
Not sure why you continue to hate Callahan so much, but he is doing a great job at Nebraska. The players love him and the training environment is very fast, professional, and NFL-like. He has brought in much better players than Nebraska has had in years. As for this week, Iowa State ranks 108th in pass defense and NU ranks 14th in pass offense. Zac Taylor and his stable of ends and receivers will exploit this mismatch big time. Care to wager?

Cody: Records are there for the breaking. 12 Straight so what, soon it will be 0 in row. FL beat Tenn by 1 point after struggling the first half. Tenn is a slow team when you compare their WRs to LSU WRs. The FL defense is going to get taken apart by Demarcus.. Who cares about homecoming, I don't think LSU does!
LSU 31 FL 17 (it will be close for a half and Tebow is going to be looking for his mouth guard if he tries that Read Run stuff) Just watch!

AU 28 AL 6 (missed extra point) at halftime,
AU 35 AL 27 (AL scores 21 against AU 3rd team defense in losing effort in second half) will be the headline in the papers. Just like last year, TT put in the scrubs when he saw LSU was struggling against Arkansas and he didn't want injuries. Fear the thumb!Mooka said:

Tomcat,
Like the picks, except for a couple, I think you got the big match-ups right. Baylor over Colo; Kansas over A&M? I don't know about that Iowa St. over Neb either. Nebraska's defense shouldn't have a problem here and as long as Calhoun airs the ball out there shouldn't be a problem. My upset pick is UL-Lafayette over Houston. This would be a big win for the Ragin Cajuns, and I think that exaclty what they are hungry for. I might give Tulane the win over Rice too, but who knows? Last one is Memphis over UAB. As for the Kansas over A&M is there something I don't know here?Not sure what Corso's Torso is talking about. I thought Leak was the leader of the Gator offense. If LSU can't get pressure on Leak he will have a big game. I guess if Tebow can be elusive then maybe I could see why they would consider putting Tebow in, but what kinda coach would put his Freshman in up against the #1 defense in the nation just to get rattled? Leak has got to show his a__ on this one, then he will get some respect from all.

Marcus Thomas, the star defensive lineman is going to play. His suspension was let up. I think this tips the edge to Florida. He got 3 sacks against Tennessee and was the main reason they were held to neagative 11 yards rushing.

I do agree on the fact that LSU is upset-minded, but without one of their best O-Linemen and the return of our beloved DT (Marcus Thomas)
our dangerously agressive passrush is at full throttle and i think it will be too much for the Tigers. Look for Damarcus Russell to choke and thow errant passes.
Its going to be a low-scoring game but, look for Florida and Chris Leak to pull it off with the go-ahead score sometime in the fourth quarter.gogo said:

By the way, Corso's torso what makes you think "A Two-Quarterback System will never work" it has worked pretty good so far. You have the best of both worlds with Tebo and Leak.

Since 1978 through 2002 or the present day - Ohio State is 1-8-1 against SEC competition! That is remarkable! The SEC owns Ohio State along with USC. More fuel for my assumption that the glorious Buckeye team will not make it out of this year alive!

I think LSU is the true #2. That #1 defense will rip into FLA once again. We'll see if LSU can get a run game together. Ahhh, if only I was coach. Hester and Broussard; I-formation all day long. Pounding those counters and dives, but no. We get Justin Vincent tip toeing to the scrimmage line. I gotta feeling LSU will need to establish some sort of running game as FLA might be expecting pass. If that happens, LSU wins by 3(touchdowns that is).

This is where you completely lost it. Arkansas just ran all over your vaunted defense. McFadden is still running. If the referees in the LSU game had been more accurate LSU would have won 21-7 or so and dominated in the stats. Don't believe me? The announcers of the game and the guys back in the studio all said that that games was horribly called.NOW After we make ya'll Bleed Crimson then come back and say YOU WERE RIGHT
You might win. You might not. Who knows? Certainly not you since you were just praising your defense but today they gave up 27 points and Brandon Cox was gettingsacked left and right.This game today between UF and LSU looks to be a good one. I think LSU is a better team and it is a shame for them that poor refereeing at The Jungle cost them their chance to be undefeated.

I'll tell ya guys this has been a strange year so far in College FB it seems.The only game I picked right in the SEC was Tenn over Georgia.So much for Auburn in the Title game.Arkansas made them look almost pathetic in the parts of that game that I saw.Props to the Razorbacks!You could tell McFadden was 100% in that game.The Auburn defense was one word sloppy.I was wrong there.I'll admit it.I also will say that I still think the trojans have no business being in the top-5 in the nation.They barely got by VERY SUB-PAR competition 2 weeks in a row now.Washington State and Washington.Beat each team by 6 points.If the BCS is so important and blowing teams out of the water to get ranked higher is so important why in the world is USC in the top-5???I'm sure so cal will have an answer to that one along with some stats.T-Mac

T-Mac, why don't you look at who USC has beaten
Arkansas (#17), Nebraska (#21), Washington St (4-2) and Washington (4-2). Their only worthless opponenet so far has been Arizona, which is still better competition than the Mississippi St and Buffalo's of the world.What you should be asking is why West Virginia is ranked so high. The have not played one decent opponent yet (maybe Maryland, but that's a stretch).
Here would be my top 10:
1. Ohio St
2. Florida
3. Michigan
4. USC
5. Tennessee
6. California
7. Notre Dame
8. Texas
9. Louisville

Cali Ken,don't get in here and try to pump up the USC trojans because they beat Arkansas.The Arkansas team the trojans beat is a completely different team now bro.Recognize that fact!So USC beat Wash St 4-2 and Wash 4-2.Let me ask you this ken.Who in the world are Washington State and Washington and who have they beaten tough guy???Those teams are SUB-PAR.Admit it bro.They are on the same level as a team like Mississippi St.West Virginia destroyed Miss St.Your mighty men of troy beat Wash St by 6 points.Your mighty men of troy beat Wash by 6 points.West VA would roll up USC and smoke em like a blunt dog!
BTW-When was Arkansas ever ranked in the top-25???
Was Arkansas ranked #17 in week 1 when they played USC or are they ranked #17 now???Like I said,who has USC beaten so far?NOBODY!!!
When USC beats a top 15,top 10,or a top 5 team than you can come talkin that SMACK.Until then,you need to be quiet.Why don't you and your trojans go play Texas bro.You'll get waxed again.You aint played nobody.You beat Nebraska.Big freakin deal.WOW.Impressive.Stop trying to use Arkansas to pump your USC team up.When USC beats a legit ranked team you can come talkin all that SMACK you want.Til then,try to keep it honest bro!!!YA BOY T-Mac

I had an absolute 0-fer weekend, not one winner. 0-6! What an ass! Maybe I should go to a Jessica Simpson blog?
I went to the Oregon / California game...nothing worse than hearing 60,000 Cal fans chanting "over-rated" throughout the 4th quarter. No biggie, I've heard it before.
Props to Tedford, he could have gone for one more score for rankings fodder, but he ran out the clock on my hapless defense at game's end.
Not a good day for the Ducks, 4 turnovers and a punt return...that was the difference.
I still like the Trojans over the Bears on 11/18 at home, but I also picked Aubiurn, LSU, Georgia and Oklahoma this weekend.
As far as the Ducks against the Trojans on November 11th...well stranger things have happened.
So once again, The Duck eats Crow.
Good luck Cal Bears...

I'm just glad all the military jib-jab is over with. For a minute there I thought I was going to get an overhead of "anybody that runs is a VC, anybody that stands...is a well disciplined VC!"
I mean, I appreciate what you guys did and continue to do for me but I just want to talk about football for awhile.I just looked over the entire blog after this crazy weekend and had to comment.
As much as I disagree with Ttrojan on a regular basis, he is the only guy that picked the hogs. Nice call.
And then there's this one, which demonstrates the potential fallacy of either being too single-minded or consuming too much Pepe Lopez prior to typing under the influence.joekidd says:

Better get out the Bandaides because there is no way in HELL UA will beat AU this year.
For one it's in T-town , That's just like our backyard. AU has never ever lost in T-town and it won't happen this year.
One of those wins were over 100 years ago. Who is living in the past?I realize it's easy to throw darts after the fact, but it's still pretty funny.
I'm scared of the hogs. Even if that was their best performance of the season. They looked good and I think they could spoil more than just Auburn this year.
I don't think it's unreasonable for the gators to be at #2, but the drops in Auburn and Georgia are suprising. It will be interesting to see next week if the BCS unveiling is going to scramble the top 5.

T-Mac,
If 'SC's win over Arkansas doesn't count for anything, than why does Tennesee over Cal still hold so much weight? You can't have it both ways. Either admit that 'SC beat the team that beat Auburn, and by virtue of that logic, give them credit, or you need to stop saying that Tennessee over Cal validates anything.
Cal is a different team than the one Tennesee beat, having dominated their opponents by more than 21 ppg. Tennessee, on the other hand, lost to Florida, had a 1 pt. squeaker against Air Force, and had to come from behind to beat a Georgia team was 44 seconds away from giving winless Colorado a W.
Make up your mind, either both count, neither count, or you are a hypocrite who doesn't care so long as it doesn't impact your skewed little world.

THIS IS A GREAT POST SO READ IT.Haha so i guess i AM right. well i guess Auburns not some unstoppable force this year after all. like ive been saying since the beginning of the season, Auburn is not goin undefeated. The SEC team with the best chance of goin undefeated is Florida. That offense theyve got in Gainesville is unbelieveable and i never thought id say that about a spread option in my life. Florida's defense is the question though. Any team that beats Florida will have to have a brilliant offense unlike any ive seen thus far in the SEC and have to be ready for a shootout. But look for Auburn havin two shots to beat florida this year so that will make it even harder for them to go undefeated.
This year we could very easily have a 3-way tie between USC, winner of the OSU/Michigan game, and Florida. Haha, and guess what, Yet again, the SEC team gets screwed!!! O well i guess ill have to get used to that with the BCS in place.
USC is an automatic bid for the NC game this year. While theyre not a #1 or #2 team this year that doesnt and will never matter with them. The only thing that matters to USC is whether they are better than Notre Dame or not. So basically this year they can completely blow. There is nooooo possibility of ND winning this year.
The big question is who will be #2??? Well, the answer is simple, the winner of the game between the big 2. Ohio State vs. Michigan. That is the only game those two teams need to focus on for the rest of the season because that is the only true game they will play.
Here are the conferences that will play in the NC game every year until the BCS is removed: Pac 1, Big II, and the Big Two. That is all, everyone else should just quit. The two biggest BCS BS conferences are the Pac 1 and the Big II. Well just think about it...2003: USC and Oklahoma undefeated, 2004: USC and Oklahoma undefeated, 2005: USC and Texas undefeated, 2006: USC AND THANK GOD TEXAS HAS A OOC RIVALRY WITH THE #2 TEAM IN THE NATION, AND THAT THE PAC 10 HAS MORE CROOKED REFS THAN NEW ORLEANS HAS CROOKED COPS
god i love bein right. i posted this following auburns narrow victory over SC.

Oh great, LSU plays the worst game in history and now we have to hear about how great the Gators are. They out played LSU, no doubt, but I wouldn't give them #2 yet. I would def give that to Michigan. Michigan is ready to roll anybody in their path, and I believe they will beat Ohio St.
This was the first time this year I got to see Tebow play. I am impressed to say the least. FLA has some special things going on, and I think they are on the cusp for #2, or maybe even #1. Let's see how they do against AU though.
