I don't care if Michigan loses all their remaining games, if Robinson stays healthy and racks up the numbers he's done so far, he deserves the Heisman. See the previous post for more Shoelace Love.
Mark it down: Virginia Tech's going to win their division. Why? Just to fuck with us.
Ohio State is an injury to Terrelle Pryor away from a very disappointing season.
Cam Newton is fun to watch, and is probably the SEC's best bet at a Heisman representative in 2010. But, he's still a laptop thief that even Florida booted, which makes it difficult to really get behind him. I'm all for second chances, but I feel dirty watching him play and enjoying his athleticism.
Ole Miss defeated Kentucky this week - and was up 22 points with just a few minutes left - and Vandy defeated Ole Miss earlier this year. What does that mean? Well, for me, it looks like Georgia is the WORST team in the SEC, something I never would have envisioned. But, there'll be more on that later.
Michigan State handled a talented Wisconsin team without their headcoach present. It seems like the Spartans were the most overlooked preseason Big-10 team. Dantonio was going to be relegated to the booth on doctor's orders, but a late-discovered blood clot left the coach in the hospital, watching the game form the TV. The fact that the Spartans played well, let alone won, is a statement to their discipline and organization. And, if it wasn't for Shoelace's god-like athleticism, Sparty would be my soft-spot, cross-conference rooting interest.
Two losses in a row for Texas is not what people were expecting. But, we have to realize that one was to undefeated Oklahoma, so it probably should not have resulted in the 'Horns being dropped form the rankings altogether.
With Texas not being ranked, Nebraska's strength of schedule has taken a BIG hit. They very well might not play a ranked opponent all year. Seriously, their schedule is soft. Maybe Clay Travis was right when he said Nebraska had a weaker schedule than Boise State.
How is Les Miles still undefeated? I've never seen anything like that. It was gut-wrenching seeing Dooley and the Vols celebrating their big win, only to have it called back on a counting error. What does Miles keep in that hat, anyway?
Alabama is easily the best team in the country. The efficient brutality with which they dispatched Florida was scary, but mesmerizing at the same time. Like watching a big cat take down a gazelle in the wild; you don't want to see the gory carnage of the feast, but you cannot look away.
That Stanford-Oregon game was awesome. I really wish I had just watched that directly instead of investing more emotion into the Bulldogs, while the Ducks and Cardinal had the point-a-palooza on the muted, smaller television.
Southern Cal was just escorted out of the rankings by an old friend. It's Sark, baby. He will beat USC and no one else.Throw up the dub!
Iowa exposed Penn State, just like pretty much everyone thought they would. But, there's a lot of potential in that true-frosh QB and we all know JoePa will coach another 50 years. Meanwhile, Ferentz is winning with bottled lightening and it might all be gone next year.
Despite dropping their fourth loss in a row, Georgia actually looked much improved on Saturday night. Not enough to matter to the outcome, but enough to build on with a return home next weekend. It's difficult to right the ship on the road, but even more so against a desperate, and now angry, SEC-opponent. It's going to be a long season in Athens.
