1. Welcome To The National Championship Game
Chalk me up as somebody who thought Iowa could pull off the primetime upset in Iowa City. Never in my wildest dreams did I think The Ohio State University would make Drew Tate look like a frosh. Buckeye fans can phone in their national title game reservations with confidence. The only tough game left on their schedule is Michigan and I don’t think the Wolverines have enough bite.
1a. Shameless Legion of Doom Pimping
Before I finish up on The Ohio State University, I have one more observation to make. How come I am the only one advocating “Road Warrior Animal” for the Heisman? Troy Smith is not the MVP of this team. James Laurinaitis is. He keys a defense that is replacing nine starters and to this trained eye he already looks better than A.J. Hawk was last year.
2. And they’ll be facing…….anyone……
Auburn and USC should be grateful they escaped over lesser opponents with victories. Both schools need to do a better job of staying off upset alert than what they did last week.
3. Forgive me if I’m crazy but….these guys looks pretty damn good.
Utah is a pretty good team and they got absolutely dismantled by Boise State. For the Broncos to leave the Smurf Turf and do that to a good Utes team was extremely impressive. There is no doubt that Jared Zabransky and the boys are extremely impressive.
4. I’m not so bad after all………
To Chris Leak. Say what you want about Leak but make sure you toss in that he is the quarterback of a 5-0 national title contender. He will be involved in this Saturday’s best game as the Bayou Bengals will be invading the Swamp.
5. Sssssssshhhhhhhhhh
The Irish are waking up………. Just remember, the Michigan loss was early in the season and the Irish still have USC left on their schedule. If they beat USC impressively, Auburn loses in the SEC title game, Ohio State beats Michigan and Louisville beats West Virginia………Brady Quinn has a chance to play for the national title. In the words of Jeremy Shockey…….”write that down”……..
One reply on “Tidbits From The Tailgate: There Is No Doubt About #1”
I agree about ND.. — All they have to do is rip through the service academies (they should have to play the Marines too –I always wanted to see a football team called the Marines–talk about badass) and beat USC. All of those other scenarios seem very likely and look for OSU-ND at the Taco come Jan.
Also, don’t be shocked America if a one-loss Notre Dame team trumps even an undefeated West Virginia in those wacky BCS ratings. Strength of schedule is HUGE.
Is that dirty whore (Ryan’s words–not mine) Laura Quinn going to be there if Brady does play?
