College Football 2010: So it begins

[Al B. Sure!]

They got to the Michigan 2 yard line when time expired

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but I'm going to punch you repeatedly in the balls, Al.

Oregon intercepts Barkley in the end zone! This one is all but over.

Do you think Robinson will win the Heisman even if Michigan has a losing record?

[Boris Godunov]

Oregon is still scoring with less than 3 minutes left. 53-32.

Ducks roll again. This is a bit more satisfying than the Stanford game, as the Ducks beat USC in their own stadium.

Barring a major, huge upset in one of the last 4 games of their season, Oregon is going to play for the National Championship.

Watch out for those Beavs, Boris. Not to mention Arizona.

The Civil War is always a dangerous game for either team, and since it will be at Oregon State, I'm sure Chip Kelly won't take it lightly. But without James Rodgers and given their record, I just can't believe the Beavers will pull it off, especially since the Ducks have shown they're great on the road in hostile environments.

The UA game is at Autzen, and given how they struggled against UCLA today, I don't think they'll have what it takes.

Goodbye Tigers (Mizzou subspecies) and Spartans, with extreme prejudice. (Assuming TCU beats UNLV... they are up 21-0 early in the second quarter and have the ball again, so I'm gonna take a risk and say they win.)

This week...

TCU at Utah
Finally, the big one for the MWC. Winner appears to be a lock for a BCS bowl, with a (very) outside shot at the whole shebangabang. TCU looked more impressive against Air Force last week than the Utes did this week, but apart from that, these two teams have looked virtually identical this season. The Utes have home field advantage, TCU a bit of a intangible edge with trying to knock off the soon-to-be-Pac-12 Utes. This is a real, real tough one to call. Odds of TCU victory: 55%

Oregon vs. Washington
Wow, Oregon looks good. Wow, Washington looks bad. Can someone please explain all the Jake Locker hype? He hasn't looked good all year long. The Ducks are going to ****ing destroy the Huskies. >99%

Auburn vs. Chattanooga
110%

Boise State vs. Hawai'i
The Warriors are suddenly looking like a decent team again, and will probably finish second in the WAC. Boise State will finish first. 95%


Other than our last pre-bowl match of undefeated teams, next week will hold no drama for the Undefeated Watch.



With MSU's pratfall, there is now an unsolvable issue with Big Ten rankings. I'm going: Wisky > OSU ? Iowa > MSU.

1. Oregon
2. Boise State
3. Auburn
4. TCU
5. Utah
6. Wisconsin
7. Alabama
8. Ohio State
9. Stanford
10. Arizona

[Boris Godunov]

Oregon loses to USC on the 30th.

ACK!

back at ya.

[Guynemer]

When I watch the Michigan defense, in my head, I hear a string quartet playing "Nearer My God To Thee".

[Boris Godunov]

Horbury version, Bethany version, or Propior Deo?

[Guynemer]

Jesus H Christ, I don't ****ing know.

Please see previous post.

I thought you were asking philosophically . While on the topic of PSU, one thing that continues to irk me, even though it shouldn't: Alabama got big-time credit for beating them 24-3. It was the game that was supposed to show whether Alabama was coasting on last year's accolades or for real this year, and the verdict was that they were world-beaters. PSU has subsequently shown themselves to be... not all that good. Same thing with Florida. Alabama's had one good win (Arkansas) since PSU. Yet nobody seems to be revising their estimate of Alabama that was formed on the basis of that game. None of that matters, given that "all" Auburn has to do is win out, but it still pisses me off.
