From your lips to the football gods' ears! :p

I had to vote for Michigan. I think my family might murder me if I didn't.

My actual bet is USC and Ohio State but shhhhh... the walls have ears...

School loyalty is fine. My issue is the fact that Michigan is even in the poll. But it's all in fun, right?

I so envy the Dawg fans in Tempe.

hell yes WOLFPACK!!!!
ohhh baby that W feels SO good!!! :D:D:D:D:D

Bama Georgia this weekend should be one of the best games this year.

^^^ I KNOW!!! I won't be at the game, but I'll be wearing black for the blackout. GO DAWGS!!!

Yea, we're going away for the weekend, borrowing a friend's vacation house. He said he'd try to remember to bring the satellite box:confused: oh well, I'll find a sports bar:D

I'm still trying to get tickets, it's outrageous!!!

UConn is 3-0 now; not a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but as someone who went to an undergrad with no football team, I'm pretty excited.

Ole Miss beat the Gators. Guess UGa will be on top again as long as they get by Bama

I can't believe Michigan pulled it out, but they did. Fun fourth quarter, though tough on the blood pressure!

Penn State > Oregon State > USC

So... Penn State will be ranked #1, now, right? ;)

Florida loses, Miami loses, FSU wins, and I win $250 because of Texas, FSU, and Alabama... what a GREAT Saturday.

My rankings:

1. Alabama
2. Oklahoma
3. Missouri
4. Penn State
5. Texas

Considering that 4 of the top 10 ranked teams including 1, 3 :( , and 4 all lost in one single weekend, I'm not willing to try to guess what kind of damage this weekend did to the rankings to be announced today. The fact that 6 of the top 20 lost, it's like some just crapped all over the rankings.

I'd love to say Oklahoma will be #1 and Alabama will enter the Top 5, but this season is unpredictable and so are the polls. The only thing I'm sure of is that somehow, someway, the USC Trojans will probably still be in the Top 10 despite losing to an unranked team since they're so beloved by the media. Somehow, UGA may slide out of the Top 10 although we were beat by the #8 team.

I think it's the shock to my Bulldawg system over such a disappointing loss that's making me sound pessimistic. I have to say Bama did a great job, and UGA was less than great. :(

But this crazy season ain't over yet.... My BCS championship dreams aren't over, and no over Bulldawgs should be either.

Hopefully UConn breaks into the Top 25. They're 5-0, and although none of their wins have been all that impressive, I'm hoping it's enough.

That, and Donald Brown is ridiculous.
