| Well, I had my College Game of the Month
| |
| | overrated team in all of football -
|
| going this weekend and was treated to
| |
| | college or pro. Just three short days
|
| three-plus hours of frustration, angst
| |
| | later Pete Carroll and Co. were ambushed
|
| and general feelings of dread. I took
| |
| | in Corvallis. Great call.- Florida State

| Missouri laying just a couple of points

| The Tigers proceeded to lay a fantastic
| |
| | Miami - too many head cases and pure

| egg, losing 26-10 in front of 60,000
| |
| | athletes and not enough refined players.

| | whiffed on their quarterback signings

| However, there were four separate
| |
| | Notre Dame may be the most overrated team
|
| sequences that doomed us. And if one of
| |
| | in football:"In 2005, Notre Dame finished
|
| these had gone the other way things
| |
| | 10th nationally in total offense. This
|
| likely would've been different:1)
| |
| | year it's 34th. The Irish have gone from
|
| Missouri's first drive, Chase Daniel hit
| |
| | eighth in scoring offense to 37th. Quinn,
|
| Greg Bracey up the left sideline for 46
| |
| | the nation's seventh-rated passer last
|
| yards. Bracey barely stepped out of
| |
| | season, has slipped to 34th. Walker, who
|
| bounds at the 26-yard line and Mizzou had
| |
| | averaged 99.7 yards per game and 4.7
|
| to settle for a field goal. A touchdown
| |
| | yards per carry in '05, is averaging 82.7
|
| on the opening drive may have opened the
| |
| | and 4.1 in '06."Notre Dame has improved
|
| floodgates.2) After a three-and-out on
| |
| | on defense, allowing 64 fewer yards per
|
| OU's first drive, Missouri took the ball
| |
| | game than it did last year (332.7, down
|
| and then suffered the blunder that
| |
| | from 396.9), but its ranking has only
|
| changed the game. Tight end Chase Coffman
| |
| | gone up from 75th to 61st. In terms of
|
| dropped - and when I say dropped think
| |
| | scoring defense, the Irish have actually
|
| Robin Williams in "The Best of Times" -
| |
| | gone down, from 53rd to 65th."- You can't
|
| what would have been a sure touchdown.
| |
| | say enough about how completely dominant
|
| That score would've made it 10-0 and
| |
| | Michigan's defense is.- If Ohio State had
|
| would have opened the floodgates.3)

|
| time they got the ball in the third
| |
| | The main reason: the maturation of Colt
|
| quarter. It's now 16-10 and Missouri's
| |
| | McCoy. The young colt has the benefit of

| defense forced another three-and-out. The

|
| Sooners punted and the kick was fielded
| |
| | still two touchdowns away from tying the
|
| at midfield. The Tigers would have had

|
| the ball in OU territory with all the
| |
| | Boston College held Buffalo to -12
|
| momentum. But an atrocious

| | just one yard on nine carries. I also
|
| the punter landed on an idiotic Missouri
| |
| | protest that B.C. may be the ACC's best
|
| rusher. Oklahoma scored on the extended
| |
| | team.- Flip a coin to determine the best
|
| drive to go up 23-10 and things were
| |
| | team in the MAC.- I didn't have a strong
|
| looking bleak.4) However, even after that

| disheartening drive the Tigers marched

|
| field?) the Tigers were stuffed and the
| |
| | the Hokies. Clemson really never stood a

| |
| | weather clearly was a factor this
|
| are some random, scattered thoughts for a
| |
| | weekend, as the total posted just a 22-29
|
| bittersweet weekend of college football:-
| |
| | mark.- Where did Washington State come
|
| Two things are going to keep Florida from
| |
| | from? Quarterback Alex Brink is having an
|
| playing for a national championship or
| |
| | outstanding season and has the Cougars at
|
| winning their major bowl game. No. 1:
| |
| | No. 25 in the AP poll and No. 23 in the
|
| they take waaaaaaaaaay too many
| |
| | BCS standings. They are raking it at 6-3
|
| penalties. Bettors need to always beware
| |
| | ATS, and have only lost SU to powerhouses
|
| the sloppy team. No. 2: their kicker is
| |
| | Auburn, USC and Cal.- Bad beat for Baylor
|
| horrendous. Chris Hetland is just 1-for-7
| |
| | backers. They were down 24-21 and Texas
|
| on the season, and may lose his job.- The
| |
| | A&M seemed perfectly content to run out
|
| number of wide receivers averaging more
| |
| | the clock before Mike Goodson broke a
|
| than 100 yards per game has dropped from
| |
| | 64-yard touchdown run with just two
|
| 34 in 2005 to 17 in 2006. The number of
| |
| | minutes to play.- Kudos to San Jose
|
| running backs averaging 100 yards has

| | State. The Spartans have benefited from a
|
| also been cut in half, from 12 last year
| |
| | kindergarten schedule (five home games to
|
| to six this year.- I'm calling it right
| |
| | two away games) en route to a 5-2 SU

| now: neither Louisville nor West Virginia

| |
| | Bowl offenses in New Mexico State, Boise

| Pittsburgh and neither has faced Rutgers

| | State and Hawaii.- Speaking of the
|
| yet, either. Toss in tricky games against
| |
| | Rainbow Warriors, Hawaii is the new Boise

| teams like Cincinnati and South Florida
| |

| and I think both WVU and Louisville will

| lose and one of them will have two

|
| losses.- There were 21 games last week

| | are 8-0 and looking to crash the BCS
|
| where a favorite was posted at six points

| outstanding 11-10 straight up in those

|
| games. On the whole, underdogs were just

| | impressive performances of the weekend.

| 26-25 ATS.- USC had been flashing all the
