I choose Friday as the best of the bunch.
Also remember to keep a lookout for Oklahoma St. and Oklahoma battling it out Saturday at 9.30am in a game that has immense BCS implications.
The most important thing to remember is that after the BCS Championship game takes the top two teams and the bowls take the conference champion that they are tied in with. After that all that matters to the bowls selecting at-large teams is who can bring in the most $$ aka fans.
Recently, ending the season weeks before everyone else has been beneficial to the Big 10 because the pollsters forget how bad the Big 10 was and end up moving them up every time someone loses. Watch for Ohio State to end the year in the top 5.
I'm sparing you all a picture of Mark Mangino. You're welcome.
The TCU Horned Frogs and the Boise State
Broncos should both be very, very pleased about Notre Dame's loss to Navy.
Removing the Irish from the BCS discussion puts both non-BCS conference teams in a position to play in a BCS bowl in January.
It makes me physically nauseas when I watch
college football on Saturday and I still have to listen about the Heisman
frontrunners being Tim Tebow, Colt McCoy, Jimmy Clausen and Mark Ingram.
On that list, the only two players deserving
of being finalists are Ingram and McCoy. Ingram is the only one worth even
considering to win it. McCoy is having a very good year, completing 73 percent
of his passes. His yards (2,447) and touchdowns (17) aren't great, but being undefeated
and playing for the most consistent team in the country will make you look
better.
Ingram is fifth in the country in rushing
(1,168) and is averaging 6.6 per carry. He's legit.
I think the whole Clausen debate can be put to rest after losing to Navy. As Ben put it in an earlier conversation, he's just like a quarterback from Texas Tech in that he throws nearly every down.
Let's go to week ten.
