Nice job. I’m starting to feel pretty good here. I was at that Tennessee game against Florida State ten years ago and I’ve got 45 yard line seats for USC at Arizona Saturday night.

Another note on Georgia Tech... only one loss so far (to Va Tech). A win against UVa would be great.

GO RAMBLIN' WRECK!!!!

I am simply happy that UConn is home after the last two embaressing losses on the road. Since it is going to be ‘Homecoming Day” for UConn, I can only hope that with the team returning to the “Rent” it will give them incentive to win this next game against Cinncy.

I can only hope that UConn gets its act together once it comes home to the “Rent” in its next game against Cincey. Heard that Coach Randy made some changes.

if you are not a “gator” then you are just GATOR bait. Everybody knows the SEC rules college football!

>>>is this enough of a litmus test for the Nittany Lions to move to the #2 spot? <<
I say yes; This is the Super Bowl for them.

For anybody that follows Div IAA ball there is a great game out on the Philadelphia Main Line. Villanova hosts #1 James Madison. This will be the Wildcats chance to knock off a #1 team for the second time this year.

You guys want to see the sleeper team of the year this is your big chance to watch Tulsa on Sunday nite.

Tulsa has a tradition of being a well-coached and overachieving team.

Mind you, Southern Cal is playing a lot better and I think they’ll play better as the season goes along, but is the Rose Bowl the best they can hope for right now?

Probably, albeit a likely rematch with Ohio State, so at least an easy win for them.

If Penn State beats tOSU this week, they're going to sail into January undefeated, and will be in the BCS title game. I know the Big 12 is tough, but I don't think anyone else can challenge Texas as well as Oklahoma did, and they don't face off again in the B12 championship, because they're the same division, right?

Of course, should 'bama go undefeated, it'd be hard to exclude them, but I just don't see it happening. There are simply too many hard games left for them.

It's looking very much like Texas/PSU to me.

(for kevkrom) #24 Minnesota vs. Purdue (High Noon, ESPN Classic) Outgoing Purdue head coach Joe Tiller made the comment recently that one of his main reasons for leaving was he just can’t coach kids anymore. I do understand what he’s saying about “kids these days”. You hate to have to look towards either basketball season or next football season, but have the Boilermakers already looked toward the future at this point?

What I really want to know is, what happened to the %#@!ing offense? Against tOSU and PSU, the defense only gave up 16 ppg (actually less, because PSU didn't even get an offensive touchdown), but they only managed a total of 9 points in two games on the other side of the ball.

Honestly, I don't blame the defense for the let-down against NW, considering that the offense stopped playing football this year somewhere during the second half of the Oregon game.

Oh well, as long as we beat Indiana next month... besides, the hoops team looks pretty good this year.

Texas Tech over Kansas in a tight one......45-41

I will NOT be surprised if OSU knocks off Texas.
