Sunday Morning QB

Mark Dantonio is trying to give himself enough another heart attack. First it was "Little Giants," the fake FG against Notre Dame. Now it's "Mousetrap", the fake punt that kept the Spartans alive against Northwestern. And look at Wisconsin's Bret Bielema getting in the mix, calling a fake punt deep in his own territory to spark the game winning drive against Iowa. overall, I've really enjoyed watching the Big ten this year.



Cam Newton is insanely talented. That one run - you know which one I'm talking about - was the stuff of Heisman lore. However, what this LSU game has reinforced is that you do not have to shut down Cam Newton to beat Auburn. They've had close games and in at least two, one play call, missed block, or dropped pass could have changed the outcome. Cam Newton can do his thing, and do it well, but if someone puts everything else together against the Tiger defense, Auburn could pick up a loss. Alabama seems like the most likely culprit (obviously), but will that really be Auburn's only loss? Most likely yes - but the more I watch them, the more it seems like they should have at least two or three in the 'L' column already. And, this isn't to knock Auburn as a team, only to get some perspective on their National title hopes now that they're the consensus number three -EDIT: And now, BCS number one- if they end up winning it all, this season will feel eerily  like 2007.

How far do we drop LSU? If Auburn's number three and they only won by a touchdown, how far should the Bayou Bengals drop? It would have made life easier if Auburn crushed them.

Staying in the SEC: Georgia is right in the thick of the SEC East race now, but I seriously doubt they'll win out. And, South Carolina's not losing two or three more times? Also, let's not dismiss the Gators, who still have both the Dawgs and Cocks on the slate. Alabama really seemed to just "wake up" against Tennessee. Their homestretch will likely decide the SEC and BCS title game, with Auburn to end the season.

I thought the Arkansas-Ole Miss game would never end.

Missouri finally beat Oklahoma. So, that's both teams I picked for the BCS title carrying losses now.You know what else that game did? Put Baylor in first place of the Big-XII division. That's right, Baylor. Of course, OU will come back, beat Baylor, win out and win the South - right? - but for now, I think that division is indicative of the entire season so far. And what about Texas? Jesus, Mack, that was awful. Also, Baylor is already bowl eligible. Georgia and Florida are not. WTF?

The seniors at Navy own a 3-1 record against Notre Dame.

Cal is Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde with their home/away performances this year. They're averaging 50+ points a game in 4 home wins, but can't find the endzone with a map on the road.

Look out Oregon, you're next on the chopping block. Alabama lost at SoCar, Ohio State lost at Wisconsin, and now Oklahoma lost at Mizzou. This week, the Ducks go to LA Memorial and play the Trojans of SC. That has death trap written all over it.

Lastly, take a look around the rankings and conference standings. The Mountain West has two top-10 teams. The Big East has no one ranked and the ACC has only one team - FSU - with less than two losses. And, honestly, if you thought about it, would you really say that Utah or TCU wouldn't be undefeated in these leagues?
