So, Ball State is actually in the AP Top 25. WHAT THE FUCK?

Games of the Week:

#5 Texas at #1 Oklahoma

One more battle where this rivalry is fought with both teams in the top 5. I can guarantee you that both teams won't STAY in the top five after this game. It starts the day off at 12 Noon. I would expect College Gameday to be here, this is definitely the game of the week and it starts so early. I think Oklahoma might be able to fend Texas off and defend the top of the polls.

#17 Oklahoma State at #3 Missouri

I've not heard much from Oklahoma State this year, but Missouri is my favorite Big 12 team to see in the National Championship at this time. I expect a close Missouri win.

#4 LSU at #11 Florida

And, of course, one of the biggest games of the week comes from without a doubt the best conference in the country, the SEC. LSU is undefeated as of now, while Florida dropped a close one to SEC West member Ole Miss just a few weeks ago. I feel that LSU is going to pick one up in the Swamp this week, mainly because I think Florida's Tebow offensive lacks other participating members to be considered a true threat.

Last week was horrible. You can't win a shoot out if you can't effectively shoot. But it was definitely interesting. This offense needs a dangerous QB like Juice Williams to work. He doesn't need to be that much of a runner either - I want a great passer who can threaten to run.

#5 Texas at #1 Oklahoma

The bad thing about all these top tier teams losing one game is that Ohio State will get back into the top 5 - and possibly in the championship game. :-\

#5 Texas at #1 Oklahoma
No. 4 LSU at No. 11 Florida

I'm thinking it's going to be a tight game between LSU and Fla not sure Fla can pull this one off though.

Fla please stop using the pistol formation, thanks.

Post by: max_cool on October 11, 2008, 05:33:12 PM: The only thing keeping me happy this year is that Michigan is probably even worse than my Sun Devils.

We need to fire Rich Olson, if he doesn't go Erickson will be gone in another season (2 at most).

Post by: ToxicAdam on October 11, 2008, 08:55:23 PM: Thanks a lot Michigan. I was hoping this was going to be Amstutz's last year .. but you just insured him at least two more season. FUCK.

Man, you guys are awful. You are the new Notre Dame.

Post by: Ganhyun on October 11, 2008, 10:22:29 PM: SC wins, Vandy and Kentucky lose. That helps GA and Florida out there.

GA wins. Florida spanking LSU at half, although LSU showing signs of life now.

Ohio State wins... :(

Michigan lost, poor Rich Rod.

Penn State and Texas win.

looks like top 10 gonna shake up some with OK and possibly Mizzou losing.

Post by: ShogunOfFear on October 12, 2008, 12:15:18 AM: Fuck yeah Florida bringing the hammer down on LSU that's what I'm talking about! :D
Nice win by Texas, no 1 seems to be a curse this year.
