College Football 2013 Season

[Imran Siddiqui]

Hey, Rutgers managed to win!

When they were down big in the 3rd quarter, I kind of wrote the game off.

[Boris Godunov]

I think that is reasonable, except for your Big 12 selections. Oklahoma looked mediocre in their game against WVU, and ntOSU hasn't really faced anyone of note. Baylor has been much more impressive in their bodybag games thus far.

If the Sooners looked mediocre, Okie Lite is looking positively ghastly so far against the Mountaineers.

And South Carolina is in big trouble!

[Guynemer]

This is the first Saturday in half a month where I have not called for the summary execution of either Al Borges or Devin Gardner.

[Boris Godunov]

I understand it was Michigan's best offensive performance in 3 weeks today.

[Boris Godunov]

It's pouring buckets in Autzen. Worst weather I've ever seen for an Oregon game.

Oregon's up 13-0 in the first quarter. The Ducks have fumbled the ball 4 times but recovered it each time. Cal has fumbled twice and both times Oregon recovered it.

EDIT: Make that three. Cal has fumbled three times, and Oregon has recovered it each time.

EDIT X2: Four. Oregon has recovered four Cal fumbles. 6:18 left in the first half. Cal has had four possessions, btw.

TCU finally got back on track against SMU.

[Guynemer]

Happy trails, Kiffykins.

[Boris Godunov]

Happy trails, Kiffykins.

Fired in the LAX parking lot, it appears. The AD couldn't even wait for him to get back to campus. Ouch.

Anyway, I doubt it will change the direction of the USC season too much. With Lee being injured and their lack of defensive depth exposed, the Trojans are in for a bad, bad ride.

Top ten as of now:

1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Oregon
4. Stanford
5. Ohio State
6. Georgia
7. Florida State
8. Texas A&M
9. Oklahoma
10. UCLA

Georgia should have been 9 or 10 last time, I just forgot about them. Beating LSU gives them a nice bump. And yes, I'm including UCLA as a bit of Pac homerism. But I think they have a decent chance to beat any of the other potential #10s.

Apparently the AP voters disagreed, since Michigan dropped a spot

tOSU
Clemson

Only 4 Texas teams in the top 25. Texas Tech (3), Baylor (4), Houston (6) and A+M (21) heading up the one loss teams. Most overrated? Georgia. Not getting any love, Northern Illinois who is 2-0 vs the 'Big' Ten. Should be able to run the table.

Now that we're five weeks into the season, I feel at least a little comfortable with guessing at a top ten:

1. Clemson
2. Alabama
3. Oregon
4. Stanford
5. Georgia
6. Florida State
7. Ohio State
8. LSU
9. Texas A&M
10. Baylor

Near: Oklahoma, South Carolina, Louisville, LSU, Northwestern, UCLA, Miami
Far: Michigan, Maryland, Wisconsin, Arizona State, Northern Illinois

I watched about 2 minutes of Alabama over dinner last night. That two minutes included a kickoff where it was clear Ole Miss had zero chance at returning it any real distance, because the Alabama players could simply run them over. I don't see how the score ended up so close.

Ok, this is apparently after Guynemer drugs Nick Saban.

Happy trails, Kiffykins.

Holy ****.
