And the College Football season begins!!!

If the Ducks beat WSU tonight and Oregon State next week, they're a one-loss Pac 10 team (probably in the BCS top 10 by the time everythings done) that only lost to USC. That may look very attractive to the Fiesta Bowl. At least Texas Tech lost, so there won't be any ludicrous notions of putting two Big 12 teams in the BCS (because if Iowa State or Colorado manages to win the Big 12 title game, Texas' standing in the polls is going to drop like a rock).

Can Cal be a little more the a speed bump to USC?
Wow, did Joe Ayoob look awful yesterday. The guy has no presence back there, poor vision upfield, and bad judgement.

It was embarassing to see how lost he looked when Cal got in the redzone in the second half.

And what was up with the linebacker headbutting a helmetless LenDale White after the play? How stupid can one player be? "Yeah, we're getting out asses handed to us on national TV, so I think I'll give the Trojans an easy fifteen." You used to have to have brains to get into Cal...

Cal's D looked pretty good - tight coverage, hard hits - but they were jawing after every play, which you really shouldn't do when you're trailing 35-3.

As long as OSU takes care of business against M, it should be OSU v ND in the Fiesta Bowl. They know twice over in the last 4 years how well Buckeye fans travel.
 


Going to be one heck of a game. Both temas have improvced in the past few games after losing games they should have won. And the winner can take the Big Ten Title with a Penn State lose.

Penn State won't lose, so Ohio State-Michigan will be for second place in the Big 11.

More then likely not since MSU imploded after that OSU lose, but if they can somehow pull it together they have a chance.

But we also have Alabama Auburn, Oregon Oregon State, Arizona Arizona state, South Carolina Clemson, and the not so impressive Stanford Cal match ups as well. I call the Standford Cal not so impressive since Stanford lost to a AA team this year.
 

Best rivalry game of the week: BOISE STATE V. IDAHO!!!

Just kidding. Boise's a 31-point favorite. I swear, if they lose to Idaho...

The rivalry that reminds people there is another school in the state!! :D
:)

Two others, actually, but Idaho State is 1-AA. Of course, so was Boise State 10 years ago. They've done well for being so new to 1-A.
