CFB Saturday: Afternoon Thoughts

USC will likely get my vote for No. 1 in next week's Top 25...

...But Georgia and Ohio State are not far behind...

Affirmed: Tim Tebow is not going to win the Heisman...

But Pat White might...

All of a sudden, Beanie Wells' foot is the most intriguing body part in college football...

I was so so so so wrong about App State beating LSU. There, I said it...

(It's not enough: So so so so so so so wrong. Let's not speak of this again. It's a long season, and poor predictions will happen - probably every week. Do I earn ANY counter-balancing credit if Utah holds on to win at Michigan? Or was that so obvious that it doesn't count as an upset?)

Aha, THERE's the Dave Wannstedt we all know...

What a big win for East Carolina; what a bad loss for VA Tech and the ACC...

Florida has plenty of "big-play" guys, but few "regular-play" guys...

God damn, was it hot and humid at The Swamp in the first half...

More later...

I'm surprised that the game started so early--usually, the first 2 games in the Swamp start at 6 PM. Was there a particular reason for the early start? It's nice that the Gators look like they're going to have a running game this season with someone other than Tebow, and the defense has definitely improved! Thinking good thoughts for Percy Harvin and Brandon Spikes--and wishing safety for the people on the Gulf Coast!!

It is a sad day for fans of the disgrace that is Syracuse football. Losing by 20 to Northwestern? WTF!
