A two edged sword here.

I think the answer for the non-league games should be a combination of in and out of state games.

For the past several years, one of Ohio State's games has been against an in-state Mid American Conference (or other public) school. Why let all of the big stadium dollars go out of state?

In truth, the games have been fairly entertaining. Consider the OSU/Cincinnati game last week when Cincinnati was leading for a portion of the game. The same thing happened a few years ago when my Ohio Bobcats played in Columbus. We got stomped in the end, but were leading at halftime as I recall.

Nobody really expects the MAC teams to win, but it's great to have the chance to play in Ohio Stadium in front of 100,000 folks. And the paycheck for the school isn't bad either.

What drives me crazy is when a big powerhouse (I'll not name any names) schedules four or five creampuffs for slaughter just to run up the number is the "W" column.

That has to be the most embarrassing win in Georgia history. Almost losing to Colorado at home is horrible. I just don't get it. They can shut out Spurier at at SC but struggle against a 0-3 team.

And Big Blue rolls along.......nice little come back...

I went to the UGA game (which was like being on the surface of the sun, by the way), it seemed Colorado came in with a good gameplan. It did show that their defense may not be as good as we initially though.

Shows that a little ole dawg can beat a big ole buffalo.

Game will be replayed Sunday night on Turner South.

I think the defense did pretty good. Held them to 13 points. They just struggled in the first quarter. The offense stunk until Cox game in. I guess it should be expected when you have a true freshman as QB.

Nebraska 56, Troy 0. Troy, as you might recall is the same team that gave FSU and GT their moneys worth....

Hail to the Huskers!!! The same HUSKERS that Gave Big Blue a loss and will whoop ass on the Big XII North this year!!!

I expected Stafford to slip at some point. If he keeps playing, he'll probably have at least another experience like this. He's a good QB, but this time last year he was playing at Highland Park, so he's not gonna have the poise at this point. I didn't think the UGA defense looked very good at all. They gave up 174 on the ground to a team that couldnt outscore Montana St. I think UGA's defense is pretty good overall, but with a good gameplan I expect them to struggle some down the stretch

Michigan #6 in both.

Interesting. Georgia dropped down 1 in the AP and moved up 2 in the coaches.

I guess I could say that I was proud that my Miners beat SDSU back in August, but since they lost their next 2 games, I guess I shouldn't be all "gun-ho" about it!

I don't think the coaches poll has been updated yet, at least not for that link. The date on the bottom says September 17th.

from Wikipedia

The Harris Poll - How it works in college football The Harris Interactive College Football Poll is used to rank the top 25 college football teams each week from September all the way to the end of the regular football season. First, Division 1-A college football conferences and independent institutions nominate prospective panelists. Then Harris randomly selects 114 members from the nominees to participate in the acutal panel. From each week in September to the end of the regular college football season these 114 panelists vote on the particular ranking of teams. These rankings are then published and are used to determine 1/3 of that football teams BCS Standing.
