With yo...Wow, you become more grown-up by the day. With your childish fake "devotion" to Florida and your even more childish effort at a response to yesterday's game, I am amazed that even the vaunted blog world will have you. Posting worthless nonsense apparently qualifies as respected writing in your opinion. Using a link as a copout <BR/><BR/>What day this week are you going to announce your new found allegiance to a new team? Current records: Nortwestern 5-4/Florida 5/3. Are you going to reclaim the Wildcats now, or has your wife's secodn cousin been a lifelong BC fan and maybe she babysat Matt Ryan when he was gorwing up so you can profess your lifelong dedication to BC and a new Heisman canidate. Or maybe you will say that since Florida beat OSU last year you are entitled to OSU's success this year as you went to a Big Ten school. Anxiously awaiting you next intelligent effort.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03122400676926242401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-57534892764041728272007-10-28T14:47:00.000-04:002007-10-28T14:47:00.000-04:00Just got back from Jacksonville....HOW BOUT THEM D...Just got back from Jacksonville....<BR/><BR/>HOW BOUT THEM DAWGS.<BR/><BR/>Holy crap that was awesome.Matt Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025500546395746323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-36983356715133266472007-10-28T11:49:00.000-04:002007-10-28T11:49:00.000-04:00Not to mention there was a freakin' monsoon for mo...Not to mention there was a freakin' monsoon for most of the BC game at VTech.ToddTheJackasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333015679479284215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-56399337427742190062007-10-28T10:15:00.000-04:002007-10-28T10:15:00.000-04:00@vinceyoungWhy am I on crack?

And for the record, I'm not convinced BC would beat OSU in a title game, but BC has done more this year to deserve a higher ranking right now. It's close I'll admit, and for the first time all year, I suppose it's possible to argue now that Ohio State should be ranked #1. I don't believe they should, but you could argue it now.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923521765537437204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-40214511563360603192007-10-28T09:27:00.000-04:002007-10-28T09:27:00.000-04:001 Ohio St over at 25 Penn St: RIGHT21 Cal over at ...1 Ohio St over at 25 Penn St: RIGHT<BR/>21 Cal over at 4 Arizona St: <B>WRONG</B><BR/>5 Oregon over 12 USC: RIGHT<BR/>At Rutgers over 7 West Virginia: <B>WRONG</B><BR/>At Texas A&M over 9 Kansas: <B>WRONG</B><BR/>10 South Florida over at 21 UConn: <B>WRONG</B><BR/>11 Florida over 18 Georgia: <B>WRONG</B><BR/>13 Missouri over Iowa State: RIGHT<BR/>14 Kentucky over Mississippi State: <B>WRONG</B><BR/>15 Virginia over at NC State: <B>WRONG</B><BR/>16 South Carolina over at Tennessee: <B>WRONG</B><BR/>17 Hawaii over New Mexico St: RIGHT<BR/>19 Texas over Nebraska: RIGHT<BR/>20 Michigan over Minnesota: RIGHT<BR/>22 Auburn over Ole Miss: RIGHT<BR/><BR/>7-8 Dan..you're pretty good at this.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853361079082718034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-80166233977951242722007-10-28T09:25:00.000-04:002007-10-28T09:25:00.000-04:00Nice to see KU dominate A&M last night, that game ...Nice to see KU dominate A&M last night, that game wasn't nearly as close as the final score.

BC struggled for 55 minutes of that game and then pulled it out. tOSU beat Penn St. from the word go, the game was never in doubt and they did it in a much more hostile environment than BC. <BR/><BR/>What happens to the BCS if we are faced with an undefeated team and a handful of 2 loss teams how awesome would that be?futurelegendvinceyounghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175243502967953702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-87748608216216812702007-10-28T08:37:00.000-04:002007-10-28T08:37:00.000-04:00OK, that was a good exercise for not thinking abou...OK, that was a good exercise for not thinking about the Gators game. Now for some masochism: hurray "Breakfast with the Gators."<BR/><BR/>Good God, did we really lose to Georgia? I didn't realize that was allowed to happen (2004 doesn't really count, since the athletic department forfeited the game on behalf of the team). The one thing we actually <I>could</I> do with the Zooker was beat Georgia. Sigh. Oh well. <BR/><BR/>Now as long as we <I>beat</I> Illinois in the Outback Bowl, I suppose the world won't end.TJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923521765537437204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-44324858041665844102007-10-28T08:34:00.000-04:002007-10-28T08:34:00.000-04:00This week didnt seem too crazy, but I think it mig...This week didnt seem <I>too</I> crazy, but I think it might be harder this week than any other weeks to figure out a top 25. Even a top 10 isn't easy. <BR/><BR/>OSU, BC, and ASU sure seem to have pretty identical resumes. But BC, with the win over VaTech, has the best win, so they're probably #1. Cal isn't any better a win than Penn State now, so ASU and OSU are basically a pickem for #2.<BR/><BR/>Then it gets more interesting. Oregon's Cal loss looks worse every week, even though, subjectively, Cal was still good that week. And LSU's overall resume takes a hit as the conventional wisdom on the SEC slowly slips from "so tough there are no off weeks" to "there's not a complete team among 'em." So Kansas slips in ahead of LSU and Oregon to me. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, thankfully there are 10 zero and one loss teams, so I can make a top 10 without having to decide which is the top 2 loss team (USF probably, or maybe Virginia Tech. Texas? Michigan?! Alabama?!?)<BR/><BR/>1. BC<BR/>2. ASU<BR/>3. OSU<BR/>4. KU<BR/>5. LSU<BR/>6. Oregon<BR/>7. Oklahoma<BR/>8. WVU<BR/>9. Mizzou<BR/>10.
