College football in November is better. Teams are well into their groove and we start seeing who's for real and who's not. The passion is more obvious, the urgency more evident and there is a visible, final push for bowl eligibility, senior day or conference championship slots. November is when we see some absolutely phenomenal football. (November is also when we see 3-loss teams in the top 25 - LSU, Oregon State, South Carolina; just an observation).
WOW!: Utah looked good...BYU better be preparing.
WOW! 2: Wyoming over Tennessee...in Rocky Top. Fulmer won't be leaving on a good note.
UNBELIEVABLE: The amazing speed, accuracy and execution of Texas Tech.
BELIEVABLE: Iowa over Penn State (I'd had my doubts about PSU's strength).
HEARTBREAKING: Iowa over Penn State ('cause I like Joe Pa).
ARE YOU KIDDING?: Poor, pitiful, Pete is whining about the BCS (again). See links below.
NOTABLE: Hey...he didn't get my vote for president but he does get kudos for publicly stating that college football should have a playoff system (click here). This was broadcast on during MNF the day before the election (people will say anything for a vote, huh?).
TOUGH YEAR FOR PREDICTIONS: Hey, if you're feeling bad because you're not at the top of our pre-season picks challenge...don't. Per a local article I read last week: "The pre-season coaches poll did not have TT in the top 10 or Penn State in the top 20. But they did have Michigan, Auburn, Wisconsin, ASU, Tennessee and Clemson...who have a combined 19-33 record and two coaching casualties."
PETE CARROLL: What a doofus (see article here). And in response to his whining, read this.
