BIG bump for my Cincy Bearcats!<P

Unfortunately, the head coach (Brian Kelly) will depart for Notre Dame after the season to replace Weiss.

Alabama should be number one since Florida escaped with a win against unranked Arkansas. Here’s hoping the Alabama band is practicing “The Tide is High”! I am soooooooooooooo sick of Flori-duh!

Bama jumped Florida for the #1 spot in the AP poll. Bit trivial since they are on course to play each other in the SEC Championship game.

Arkansas should have won yesterdays game. A called back touchdown and 2 bad offical flags. However, Flordia was NOT impressive. NOT AT ALL. Considering the game was IN FL. and their homecoming to boot. Arkansas did far better. It was a very, very exciting game over all.

Bama has been the most impressive team of the unbeatens. Texas has been eaking out wins aginst the likes of TT and OU while FL has not had an impressive game against a true opponent.

I agree. It will be good to see the Crimson Tide return to glory.

Even though my team is like a stray mutt in a dog show, no "style points", adjust to the game enough to get the W, you gotta admire their grit......Iowa Hawkeyes.

Let's go Hawks!

I'll predict this years winner of the AFCA National Championship Trophy (Coaches’ Trophy) awarded to the winner of the BCS;

Barack Obama.

Very weird team. Seems they play to the level of their opponent although they do execute Coach Ferentz’s (sp?) philsophy very well. I saw the game against the Cowardly Lions, cowardly becuase PSU plays nobody non-conference, and very impressive.

Alabama has ALWAYS had to fight for our standing.
So, no problem here at my house. It’s life as usual. :-)

It’s a never ending situation....we have to fight liberals the very same way. :-

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!! Go Mark Ingram!!!! Go team!!!

Texas should go unbeaten which will mean an Alabama v. Texas BCS Championship Game.

Very weird team indeed. No big names or superstars.

Probably the cinderella team of 2009?

Yup, as long as the raiders don’t have to travel they’re doing OK. They should do fine in the GalleryFurniture.com bowl.
