This every Saturday after the Saturday Lecture open NCAA thread for those of us watching football and not wanting to soil the respectable threads with cries of ‘Hook ‘em Horns’ or ‘Soooeeeee Piggie!’ and we sure don’t want to run Ralphie through a serious thread! Some of our writers would get really mad. This will be a stickie at the top of the page, its football and open, please see the ‘normal’ yet excellent threads below; get crazy and open two tabs!
Last week the big news was the LOSS that Alabama suffered at the hands of the Old Ball Coach and his South Carolina Gamecocks in an instant classic SEC matchup. That means that the #1 Ranking goes to the undefeated Ohio State Buckeyes followed by the Oregon Ducks, the Boise State Mustangs,and the Nebraska Cornhuskers OR the Texas Christian Horned Frogs. This week should sort out some of the mess after the Alabama loss. In my opinion, ‘Bama is still the best team in the NCAA and would beat any of these teams in a championship game. This could get very tricky if Boise State goes undefeated and everyone else gets a loss.
At 1530 Eastern, Texas has to travel to Lincoln to play the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The Power of N is going to want revenge for the previous beatings that Texas has laid on them in the recent past. The Blackshirts will rule this day, i almost feel sorry for the Longhorns. The game of the day may be 12 Arkansas at 7 Auburn in another great SEC game, Vegas says Auburn by 3 1/2.
At Number 1 Ohio State will travel to 18 Wisconsin…OSU has the target on their back now, lets see how the coach and his boys handle the pressure. I do feel sorry for Ole Miss, they have to go to Bama and play a very angry team.
