Monday Night QB

USC looks like the best the team in the country again. They demolished Ohio State in a big non-conference match-up, but then again, who doesn't? Sanchez and company made the scoring look easy, McKnight looked greasy fast and cock strong and the D was smothering. This might be Carrol's best squad, but what does this win mean? We can't be sure yet. The called back TD in the 2nd turned the game and Maualuga's INT shut the door for good. But, the Bucks looked awful.

Maybe Ohio State's stage fright is this overwhelming. Or, maybe they suck that bad. The best thing they can do for the Big-10 is lose a couple more games and let someone else bear the standard into the BCS.

Like who, you ask? Wisconsin? It's possible with their dominant lines and tough RB's. Maybe Penn State. The Spread HD has been effective, albeit against inferior foes. But, right now, the Lions look like the best of the bunch. Wisconsin beating Fresno State doesn't prove much, in my eyes.

By the way, Jaypa, I was running the Spread HD on the xbox long before you showed up.

The SEC:

Still the best conference. You take a win on the road in this league any way you can get it. Georgia scraped out a 14-7 win over the plucky 'Cocks and Auburn torched Miss St. for a 3-2 win. This says a lot about the Defense in this league. But, it says almost as much about the lacking offenses. Stafford was hassled all day long, Knowshon was contained and receivers dropped passes. That all equals suspect O-Line play and brutal D. A QB can't throw on target when he's running for his life and even the most elusive RB needs a hole to hit. Look for these struggles to continue and cost the Dawgs games later in the season. Auburn? Who knows. Where's the spread, Franklin? Is fumbling part of the grand-scheme? How pissed is the D that the O-line blew their shut-out? These are still very good teams; very dangerous teams. But, they have issues.

Vanderbilt? Really? Yes. Really.

They said LSU doesn't have a QB. Well, maybe they don't need one. Trinton Holiday could just explode the Bayou Bengals to ATL in December.

Is BYU for real? Or is UCLA that bad? And, by extension, is Tennessee that bad? The Cougs blew up the Bruins and looked like a top-10 team with no tough opponents left on the slate. Except for maybe Utah. I'm still holding out for the Utes to beat BYU, but realistically...

Tulane might just be a scrappy little underdog. Or Bama and EaCar could be overrated.

Oklahoma looks like the 2nd best team in the country, easy. Texas isn't too far behind and I am rescinding my 'slightly overrated' tag from Missouri. Daniel and Co are lights out nasty. There will be some fun football in this league.

Notre Dame's 2-0. I'd rank 'em in my top-10. The tradition's back, baby!

USC-Ohio State was the biggest game of the season.

What do I think is second? Georgia-Florida.

3rd? Oklahoma-Texas.

What's the difference between a hockey mom and a pittbull? Fanatical, right-wing nut-job, religious zealotry of course!
