I would be embarrassed if I was a fan of The U, Michigan, and Florida State. They laid eggs in Week 1. The only game of interest during the afternoon is the Dawgs paying a visit to Columbia, SC @ 3:30 pm. The temperature will be HOT at kickoff. There are a couple of intriguing prime time games. Clemson will be visiting College Station as Dabo Sweeney once again battles Jimbo $$$$$ Fisher. The real USC visits the Farm at Stanford. In some could be interesting games. The battle of PA sees Penn State visiting Pitt. Herm "You Play to Win the Game" Edwards will face his first real test as a college football coach as Sparty visits Tempe. In the cup cake games 'Bama hosts Arkansas State and THE Ohio State University hosts wretched Rutgers.

Rutgers is New York’s adopted CFB team. Therefore, I hate Rutgers and would love to see the Buckeyes hang 100 on them. I’m concerned about the Buckeye’s defense, but the offense will be very good this year. Haskins is the real thing.

Go Bucks!

I never had much use for that website. Clemson at aTm is a maybe watch? After FSU’s face plant last week this will now be our hardest game of the regular season. If somebody hopes for Clemson to lose, this will be their best chance to see it. Of course we wont.

Clemson is the only real team outside the SEC. They, like Alabama, have very light schedules this year.

When Alabama has a “light” schedule including Auburn, Miss State, LSU and Ole Miss, that would be considered a season wrecker at most NCAA programs. It is because, again, most schools don’t play real football, but most especially the big 16. Not that they never have good teams. Some are outstanding. I don’t mean there are never time Suzies who will pop up and do astounding things (like when Utah dismembered Alabama in a bowl a few years back!). There will be good teams that have tremendous athletes and all that. I am talking about consistent powerhouses who produce winning teams that would be perched atop their conference perpetually anywhere but the SEC. I am talking about Miss State, Ole Miss, Georgia, Auburn, LSU, Alabama, with sometimes being Tennessee, Arkansas.

I am just saying that most of the football outside the SEC is not real football, and that the “big 16” is the most overrated joke of a conference out there.... possible exception being PAC 12. Hate me for saying it all you want, but yes, I am a snooty Alabama fan and an even snootier SEC snob.

It is a religion in the deep south and I am as bad as a snake waving howler in my fervent devotion. I love this season.

Well I pretty much lost all interest in this season.
