First of all, USC is clearly the best team around, and it's not close. I must admit that I would love to see them play Florida in the BCS because the scoreboard would light up like the 4th of July.- Clay Chavis (9/24/2008)
Yeah, I said that. Even went on record and wrote it. That is the beauty of college football. It's the reason that I start watching at noon and am usually catching highlights at midnight. Just steer me towards the chicken wings and some cold beer and Ill worry about picking weeds on Sunday.
I have been pretty reserved all year in regards to my beloved Crimson Tide. The reason is because I have been disappointed year after year. I had just graduated high school the last time Bama was ranked #2 in the country. There have been several hopeful moments along the way, but probation, coaching stupidity, and the fact that the SEC has gotten so much better has kept Bama from ascending back to the perch it held for the most part of the latter half of the 20th Century. Now, regardless of how we do from here on out, Bama is back, and Im giddy about it.
Now, onto other things. USC and Florida both lost to teams that they should have spanked. LSU struggled with Mississippi State. UT and Auburn set back offensive football by 30 years. Finally, Georgia can put those "black out" jerseys in storage.
Here are some picks for this week and my current top 25.
Tennessee 35
Northern Illinois 7 (The real question is whether Neyland will be even close to full)
Auburn 13
Vanderbilt 7 (I'm sorry, but Vandy needs to beat a good team, not get lucky against a bad one)
Alabama 31 (Classical letdown game here. If you bet, take KU and the points)
Kentucky 17
Missouri 35
Nebraska 27
Miami 17
Florida State 14

My comment is for the remark you made about filling up TN's stadium. Of course they will fill it up. It will be a shot at actually winning another game. Those hillbillies will line up at the gate and play that stupid song all day (or night) as if they were beating an NFL team. After that will have to endure them on the radio patting themselves on the back for it. Truth be told the championship they won (10 years ago) was just a fluke. They do not, have not and will not have the talent to do it again. Get over it be happy to win more than you loose. If you fire "The Pumpkin" who are you going to replace him with? Enough of my rant I just really HATE that team. For me it's GO HUSKIES!!!!!
**Wow, as you can see, my intolerance for "Rocky Top" and Neyland Stadium have rubbed off of my future bride** How did she know who Northern Illinois' mascot was? Ouch.
