1. Let The Bickering Begin
In my opinion, the BCS Standings are pretty fair. Unless Notre Dame can top USC in Los Angeles, I think the Trojans will get to a BCS Title game against the winner of Ohio State-Michigan.
The team with the biggest complaint has to be West Virginia. All they have done is follow-up last season’s Sugar Bowl win over SEC Champion Georgia with a perfect start to this year’s campaign. At the very least the Mountaineers should be ranked fourth. The conference that should be complaining about a lack of a playoff system is the SEC as you can make a compelling argument that Auburn and Florida are as good as any of the unbeaten teams.
2. We’re back……….
Just when you count out Auburn, they circle the wagons and beat Florida 27-17. You have to take your hat off to Tommy Tuberville. He may well be the most underrated coach in the nation. If Notre Dame beats USC and Louisville beats West Virginia then the Tigers may well get into the BCS Title game.
3. Are you sure it’s not basketball season?
Indiana over Iowa 31-28……….Vanderbilt over Georgia 24-22………these are the kinds of losses that send 87,154 people onto a message board to complain. The Iowa loss truly surprises me as I had thought the Hawkeyes were a national title sleeper at the beginning of the season.
4. Wins yes……….style points….not so much
USC keeps winning but they aren’t doing it with flair right now. They should count their lucky stars that Dirk Koetter is an idiot and decided to play for a loss (at least from a time management perspective). John David Booty is making nobody forget that Matt Leinart is starting tonight for the Arizona Cardinals.
5. The L Stands for Loser.
John L. Smith is going to be out of a job at Michigan State by the end of this season. The way the Spartans have quit on their coach is ugly. At least Michigan State students can take comfort in the fact that basketball season is right around the corner.
