That 'Bama-LSU game was just awful. Considering they BOTH had a bye-week, you'd think the offensive staffs could have found some better ways to move the ball.

missed it because of a work event. But, if they're evenly matched with good defensive lines you would expect a low scoring game wouln't you?

Nebraska wasn't much of a suprise, although we could have won. I guess the suprise was how badly we played and lost.
Can't turn the ball over 3 times inside your own 30 and come out with a win, I guess. :)

I'd say this proves the need of the playoff even more. It seems to also prove that teams are all just horribly inconsistent this year. I thought it was only Nebraska that was so up and down.

The OSU loss was a heartbreaker. Iowa State should get lots of credit, but things were just not working Friday night.

Anyway, on to Bedlam and beating OU.

The Clemson game was just painful to watch. We did nothing.

Go 'Hoos! Finally ranked!

*edit*
And thank you Chase Minnifield (and the defense in general). Sprinted down FSU's receiver to trip him on the 1. Made them take a field goal instead of a touchdown.
That and the best 37 seconds of UVa offensive football that will be ever seen. When we got the ball right after the 2 minute mark in the 4th quarter Rocco managed to move us down the field like never before.

Why does this look like a rematch between LSU and Bama for BCS Championship game, granted both need to win out for it to happen , but still, say it ain't so.

Gonna be interesting to see how this all shakes out, but if the Championship game is a rematch of LSU and 'Bama, I'd probably watch it.

I was also skeptical of Urban Meyer's spread option offense in a big-time football conference. After he won his first national championship with it, I figured I'd give him the benefit of the doubt for the next few seasons.

A bit surprised to see a 8-4 FSU make the top 25. They only have one win against an opponent with a winning record (NCSU).

From 5th to 17th!! Way to go VaTech, the ACC really needed you to help keep the conference relevant and respectable. Maybe we really are just a basketball conference.
