Week 10

Thanks, LSU! Everyone thought the Gators were done for the season...and that Alabama still had a chance to get the National Championship. Well, not anymore. Alabama won't even make it to Atlanta. But the Gators are one win away from the SEC Championship game. Rutgers broke my heart. It looked like Schiano took advice from Addazio in the 4th quarter. Terrible. Knights should have won by 2. Wisconsin actually did struggle with Purdue in the first half. Oklahoma State played better than I expected against Baylor. Hawaii did not show up. For some reason I thought that was an 8pm ET game. Why on earth would they have a game when its effectively 9:30am for the Warriors? Either way, they didn't have the high-powered offense I'm used to seeing. They played much too conservatively and it was atrocious. The Huskers got very lucky. Without Martinez, they fall apart. Arkansas beat South Carolina by a lot more than I expected, but I guess South Carolina has a tendency to fall apart at the end of the season. Oklahoma once again proved to be inconsistent, and Texas once again proved to be awful. Indiana should have beaten Iowa. Michigan got lucky. Stanford looked good - but their only tough game this year was against Oregon. Does anyone know if the Cardinal is good? Utah was the biggest disappointment of the week. Way to bring new meaning to the word "overrated," Utes.

BCS...The Gators are back in the rankings!! #22...only ranked team in Florida. Ohio State in the top 10? Don't make me vomit. Nebraska will jump back up in the BCS once Martinez is playing again. Not sure why Stanford jumped after beating overrated Arizona. LSU deserved the jump, but they're not going to the national championship anyway - they need Georgia to beat Auburn, and that's just not gonna happen. I believe there are 7 SEC teams ranked in the top 25. 5 from the West, 2 from the East. One East team will drop off next week, but that's fine. Hopefully it will be the Gamecocks.

Week 11 picks... Pittsburgh will beat UConn. But again, the Big East doesn't matter. Pittsburgh will probably get destroyed by Boise State or TCU in a bowl game. Boise State has another *tough* game at Idaho. Seriously, Boise State. Either join a real conference or shut up. Take a lesson from Utah. Wisconsin should beat Indiana. I think Iowa will have a challenge at Northwestern. I think Iowa will win a close one. Louisville should beat USF. Missouri should regroup and beat Kansas State. If Utah can't beat Notre Dame, the Utes should not be in the top 25. I'm hoping for a crazy upset and cheering for the Nittany Lions in Columbus. Beat the crap out of the Buckeyes. Please, Paterno, I'm begging you!! San Diego State...can you pull off a big upset? Please take TCU out of the title talk. I'm sick of it! If the horned frogs don't want to join the Big 12, they need to just be quiet. Play respectable teams, or just go away. Alabama should have too much offense for Mississippi State - but I have to laugh at this game because people in Alabama are just uneducated. Seriously, who is in charge of proofreading the tickets?? If you can't spell Mississippi, the game should automatically count as a loss. But Mississippi isn't much smarter. Oklahoma State should beat Texas. Stanford should beat Arizona State. Rutgers: You better beat Syracuse. Nebraska should not have a problem with Kansas. And Gators...it's now or never. You better show up Saturday and beat South Carolina!!!!! Spurrier doesn't like to see the Gators lose at home. Can we just take out Brantley and Moody? Brantley is too timid - and this game has too much on the line to take a risk with him when he's afraid of his own shadow. Sure, he can throw...but he has not proven himself in high-pressure situations. I think the best idea for this weekend is a 2-quarterback system with Burton and Reed. But I'm sure Addazio will call for Brantley in for 90% of the snaps, overuse of Moody and some other stupid calls. I am begging for him to prove me wrong this week. I would love to book a flight to Atlanta after this weekend.

LET'S GO GATORS!!!! Make it to Atlanta!!! Go Scarlet Knights! Go Huskers!

Also, Gator basketball (men's) tips off Friday night vs. UNC-Wilmington. Start strong, boys!
