Just one more reason Oklahoma Sucks

Oklahoma v. Oregon

Ok, Yeah, Oklahoma got screwed. The onside kick call might have been wrong (though I wasn’t as convinced as everyone else was). The pass interference was wrong. In college football it happens.

Perhaps Oklahoma should have been playing some defense in the 4th quarter. Isn’t Bob Stoops some defensive guru? How does an Oregon receiver get as open as Brian Paysinger did at the end of that game. Shouldn’t there have been a Safety around there somewhere?

Oh and lets not forget Oklahoma didn’t make a field goal that would have sealed the game.

And now Oklahoma wants the game expunged from the season. Weak. Oklahoma also wants its game with Washington in 2008 to not have Pac-10 officials. Weak. Hey Bob, did you ever think that maybe you just aren’t as good a coach as you think you are? You lost. Though it was a close and controversial game…you still lost.

Will the real Notre Dame please stand up?

What is going on with Notre Dame? I told everyone to stop drinking the Kool-Aid but no one believed me. They looked so crappy against Georgia Tech, and then they look awesome against Penn State then they didn’t even show up against Michigan. So which team is the real Notre Dame? Or does how they played really reflect on how good the other teams are. Do we know how good Georgia Tech, Penn State, and Michigan are? I would say probably not. But still Notre Dame played so differently in the 3 different games. Still, I certainly didn’t see Michigan taking Notre Dame to the woodshed.
My Old Rankings - and thoughts.
1. Ohio State – (W) – They were losing for a good chunk of the first half until they turned on the jets in the second half. A solid win. I really hope Tressel loosens up the offense he still looks like he is holding back.
2. Auburn – (W) – Well, they won. Obviously not by much. But that is SEC football for you. All defense and no offense.
3. USC – (W) – I would say the offense still isn’t ironed out yet. But they looked very good at times. I was very happy to see the Men of Troy playing in the Coliseum again.
4. Texas – (W) – Who did they play?
5. Notre Dame – (L) – OK, I told everyone to stop drinking the Kool-Aid but no one believed me.
6. LSU – (L) – Yea, nothing says SEC football like losing 7-3.
7. West Virginia – (W) – Oh Terp nation. If you would have only kept Steve Slaton.
8. Florida – (W) – Big time quality win. The end of this game was really fun to watch. Florida might have the magic this year.
9. Georgia – (W) – Another win. This has become the norm at UGA in the last couple of years. Another game, another win.
10. Florida State – (L) – Another Boring Bowden Bowl…Barf.

My New Rankings – Last Week
1. Ohio State (1)
2. Auburn (2)
3. USC (3)
4t. Texas (4)
4t. Florida (8)
6. West Virginia (7)
7. Georgia (9)
8. Michigan (new)
9. LSU (6)
10. Louisville (new)

Where is Notre Dame? Does it matter? Out of the top 10 would be my answer. But if you must know I have them at 11.

Any other thoughts?

Funniest College Football Story of the Day

West Virginia sophomore tailback Steve Slaton grew up wanting to go to Maryland.

He got a scholarship offer from Maryland.

His scholarship got rescinded from Maryland.

He went to West Virginia (cue the banjos).

Steve Slaton is averaging 154 yards per game in 2006.

What is Terrapins coach Ralph Friedgen (aka Fatso) reasoning behind rescinding Slaton’s scholarship? "I just had too many running backs."

I hope West Virginia wipes the floor with Terp Nation.

My Old Rankings - and thoughts.
1. Auburn – Looked really dominant…but then again it was Miss St.
2. USC – Week off.
3. Ohio State – A huge win against Texas. I was very happy to see those Longhorns go down.
4. Texas – I do give Ohio St. and Texas credit for playing a tough opponent in a non-conference game. Takes balls.
5. West Virginia – Weakest schedule imaginable. Are they going to try and put some high schools on the schedule next year?
6. LSU – Quality win. Though Arizona might totally suck.
7. Florida – Does beating up Central Florida even count as a win?
8. Florida State – Troy looked dangerous for a while. They pulled out a win though.
9. Georgia – Beat the other USC…I must admit I totally didn’t care about that game.
10. Notre Dame – Ok Irish, you can now move up in the rankings.

My New Rankings
1. Ohio State
2. Auburn
3. USC
4. Texas
5. Notre Dame
6. LSU
7. West Virginia
8. Florida
9. Georgia
10. Florida State

Recap of the first weekend of College Football.

I will go through my previous Top Ten and tell you what I saw from their games.

1. Ohio State – Their game was closer than I thought it was going to be.

2. Auburn – Rolled over Wassu.

3. West Virginia – Played very well. I wish there was another good team in their conference.

4. USC – Answered a lot of questions. They should be formidable all season.

5. Notre Dame – By far the least impressive game of the top ten…well, besides Cal. No more drinking the Kool-Aid. If they keep playing like this they will never get through September undefeated.

6. Texas – Looked impressive…but they did play North Texas Community College

7. Miami – Not enough firepower on offense. Can’t the U recruit a Running Back?

8. Florida – Won without a problem.

9. Cal – Weak…seriously, weak.

10. LSU – One cupcake done.

New Rankings
