saw the most boring game ever, but at least we got a win. VA had nothing.

Peace

Where was this team the first two weeks of the season?

Thank God Ohio State is hopefully out of the BCS picture now. They have a good team, but the Big ten, Big East, and the ACC do not have any elite teams. All the power is in the SEC and Big 12.

i am glad ohio state is out of the national championship hunt. they need a season without that pressure to focus on getting back to playing good football out of the spotlight.

though i disagree with your last statement. i think usc would manhandle anyone in college football, sec or big 12. i'm willing to bet they play oklahoma or missouri in the national championship.

True, but outside of USC, I don't see anyone else in the PAC 10 as anything special. Oregon almost lost to Purdue who is a middle of the pac Big 10 team. Arizona State plays Georgia, but UGA has not looked as good a Florida, LSU, or even Alabama yet. And I still think UGA will beat them. I think Ohio State would lose to all 4 of the top SEC teams, and probably Oklahoma, Texas, and Missouri. I am just saying the SEC is loaded as usuall and the Big 12 looks deep as well.

that i would agree with. the pac-10 does look like the big ten has the last few years... mediocre teams with one elite team at the top. the difference being that the pac-10's elite team actually delivered in big games.

Yeah In a strait up opinion poll based on what we've seen It's pretty impossible not to rate USC #1 and Oklahoma #2

Georgia has some work to do on the lines and at safety and their receivers have to prove they can consistantly catch the football.

Florida needs to prove their defense is worth a crap against a good offense and they need to find a running back not named Harvin or Tebow.

I agree, USC probably has 15 of their starters or more that are going to get drafted by the NFL, they just have to not choke down the stretch(Stanford part 2). I can't wait to see Oklahoma play Texas and Missouri. Ohio State has a lot of talent, but the conference is just down right now, at least Wisconson won. The SEC is going to knock each other off. It should start to get interesting now.

I'm sorry, but how in the hell does beating 2 I-AA teams gets you into the top 25? I'm looking at you Florida State.... enjoy being ranked until you get beat by Wake Forest and Miami.

Steve Dunne

we could go 4-0 friday night...which would be huge considering i thought we'd be 2-2 so far!

Steve Dunne

Woo Hoo!

Currently marinading some chicken with some hot and spicy bbq sauce from the Iron Works from Austin, TX. My car smells so good right now!

big game tonight - see you on the deuce!

pjsteelerfan

Lots of big games with SEC teams this weekend.

Florida whoops up on the Vols for a 2nd year in a row... nice to see Urban Meyer getting Emmanuel Moody some playing time.

The Miami Hurricanes embarassed Texas A&M at home and FSU lost horribly to Wake Forest, so I'm quite looking forward to seeing Miami kill FSU down in Miami.

catch22

ohio state looked embarrassingly sloppy for the third straight week. they struggled against another clearly inferior team. though pryor did look pretty damn good, considering it was his first ever start. they badly need beanie back. they just seem to have no spark, no confidence. tressel needs to do something to get these guys fired up or they are going to get destroyed in big ten play. it is not nearly as soft this season as it has been the past few.

Steve Dunne

fun game from a spectator's standpoint friday night. baylor's qb griffin - watch out for this kid...he's only a freshman and man is he good.

If USC loses to the Beavers . . . . Then the United States will go into a recession! Oh wait . . . .

South of Seattle

Fucking USC, you lost to an inferior team. It's almost as bad as the Stanford loss last year.

woohoo!!!! we're back (near the bottom, but we're back!)

great weekend, I hate Alabama, but they pounded UGA. And knowing the SEC, they will probably lose this weekend.
