  1. REGIONAL

     

    Vanderbilt at (16) Texas A&M

     

    Well, after a surprising loss last week, Texas A&M gets to take out frustrations against a decent Vanderbilt team. As long as Texas A&M limits the big pass play against Vanderbilt, the defense should be ok. Couple that with a rebound game and playing at home, A&M may try and score 60+ in this one on route to a 20 point win.

     

    (10) Texas Tech at (15) Oklahoma

     

    I have been wrong a couple of times about Texas Tech, and still may be wrong about my prediction on how the Oklahoma Sooners will turn out this season... BUT, I still have to pick what I think is a better overall team despite their poor offensive showing this season. OU wins by a TD with the running game.

     

    (8) Baylor at Kansas

     

    Baylor fans crying for respect. I am sorry, your 70-7 win over Kansas this week, will not earn you any.

     

    Furman at (13) LSU

     

    Another one of the shockers last week when LSU lost to Ole Miss last week. This week the Tigers rebound against an FCS foe with a losing record. I expect an absolute blowout, but the Tigers have laid duds against some FCS foes the past few years trying to fix mistakes. Tigers big (I hope)

     

    Texas at TCU

     

    So this is weird for me to say this. Texas, one of the best teams in the Big XII, faces TCU, one of the most dissappointing teams in the Big XII... Texas by 10.

    NATIONAL

     

    (9) Clemson at Maryland

     

    Clemson getting beat wasn't as big of a shocker as to how bad they were beat. Their 10 second offense looked non-effective against FSU's D and now they have to rebound against a surprisingly decent Maryland team (with some hideous uniforms). I completely expect Clemson to hold nothing back in this one en route to a blowout win.

     

    (12) UCLA at (3) Oregon

     

    UCLA is 5-1 on the season... ranked 12, I don't think they are #12 good... Great QB, but not good enough to beat the Ducks. Quack attack by 20.

     

    (21) South Carolina at (5) Missouri

     

    Missouri suffers their first loss of the year in this one. They are without their best player, they face another tough game right after a tough UGA team. I just think the Old Ball Coach wins this one behind his defense.

     

    Penn State at (4) Ohio State

     

    One of the more intriguing games for storylines this season. Looking at the BCS standings, Ohio State is still somewhat of an afterthought for the NC game until someone in front of them loses and this could potentially be the best game on their schedule at the end of the season. OSU by a TD

     

    (6) Stanford at (25) Oregon State

     

    Stanford wins this one... Oregon State shouldnt be ranked...

     

     

     

    Wow, MavGrad, I am in awe of your prognosticating prowess. The uber-rare perfect week of predictions. Against the spread, well.....

  2. Not the most difficult stretch of games left though. Tennessee at home, at Kentucky and ole miss. Those are 3 very winnable games which would put them hosting A&M to end the year with conference championship implications. If they are division champion quality they can pull that stretch off.

    I just don't see them knocking off A&M. USC has a pretty winable conference schedule the rest of the way. Clemson in the finale won't matter because it's not a conference game.

  3. Well, I know one school that wanted to take their beating like men. The Cushing coach was screaming at the officiating crew for a running clock late in the game when the Bearkats were losing to Shebbyville 54-6. He told the crew that he didn't ask for a running clock, but they were running it from up in the press box. Several times the crew was signaling to stop the clock, but it kept running.

  4. Wow, I think the only ones saw this coming was West Sabine

     

    Congrats

    I saw this coming, but only because I've seen both teams up close. It's amazing how many points West Sabine's offense can put up with a.....ummmm, let's say, methodical....approach. You would think that a team that's putting up 50 points a game consistently would be a no-huddle, hurry-up type of spread offense, but the Tigers are just very good at what they do. With that win, they most likely coast into the district championship, considering they play the bottom two teams in the district (Cushing, Grapeland) the last two weeks.

  5. It boils down to two things for Saban....

     

    (1) Money

    (2) Challenge

     

    Texas has plenty of both...the challenge of rebuilding a program and winning a NC at a third school, and the deep, deep, deep pockets of the alumni. I mean, when the band director can go to DeLoss Dodds and demand that the band be put up in a nice hotel, travel by charter jets, etc., and the AD doesn't bat an eye..........

  6. Here is the missed horse collar

    You can see the ref on the sideline at the end too. Someone earlier mentioned johnny didn't go down like he was horse collared, but from the angle it was clear cut IMO.

    The tackle started two yards before he was brought down. That's not a horse collar tackle. He has to be brought down immediately...like 2 yards behind where he was finally tackled.

    The HCT is the most misunderstood rule of all time. Everybody wants it called on plays that it doesn't happen and then they're urinated off when it IS called.
