Monday Night-QB

Denard Robinson is human. He threw three picks as the Wolverines lost to the amped up Spartans on Saturday. Also, he only rushed for 84 yards on top of his 215 passing. What a loser, not even topping 300 yards of offense. Maybe if he had a defense. Or a running back. Or...well, you get the idea.

Alabama lost. And that's really about it. They were on the road in a tough league carrying a win-streak that had to end sometime. I'd still take the Tide 2 out of 3. But, cfb's not about series, but one time games. So how will the Tide dropping a decision to the Gamecocks affect how the season shakes out?

Alshon Jeffrey is fun to watch and good at football.

Auburn is still undefeated and Cam Newton is a great player. If you can stuff the Tiger run, though, and force him to throw, you have a chance to beat them. That is, if you have a good defense. Especially a good secondary. Because you'll need all the linemen and linebackers you've got to make that run stuffing thing happen and you need corners who can operate on islands. In other words, Auburn 34, Georgia 14.

Someone else gets the real-life Heisman photo nod this week.

Does anything else in the SEC West matter this season with Les Miles at the helm in Baton Rouge? When will they lose? That fake FG was an insane call. Not the fake itself, but the particular one they used. And the way it played out? Jesus.

Ohio State won; big surprise. Pryor looked good doing it, too, so I guess the Buckeyes are the default number one now. And, I'm OK with that. Oregon's personnel losses and Boise State's non-schedule make it easier for me to see the Bucks at the top...for now.

John Brantley played with cracked ribs against LSU. Julio Jones played with a broken hand against South Carolina. While these things are tough, gritty, and impressive, they pale in comparison to Greg Nosal, who played with a SEVERED FINGER. Jesus Christ, son, even Chuck Bednarik thinks you're crazy.

Tennessee had just 10 players on the field to try and block a Georgia field goal in the second quarter. If Georgia needs a traffic-law coordinator, then UT needs a counting specialist.

Andrew Luck is a tough football player. Harbaugh's whole program seems tough, what with hard hitting QB's and a true iron man in Owen Marecic.



I'm getting to my top-25  later tonight. I think it's only fair to have SoCar higher than 'Bama for now. But I think I finally have to acknowledge LSU's record and the aura of dark insanity that protects Les Miles.Beyond that, I think Auburn has to be the highest ranked SEC team. What does that mean for the mid-majors? Well, I'm going to have to bump some. And, while it never seems fair to drop spots when you win - especially by 40 or 50 points - it's obviously not fair to keep an AQ, BCS team suppressed in light of their success against superior competition.

Lastly, because the season's pretty much half-way done and I haven't pointed it out yet: FUCK PAUL FINEBAUM. Richt won and Saban lost...I hope he sucked down the barrel of a shotgun dealing with that reality.
