No Surprise

No surprise...

Meyer strikes the surrender cobra pose.
Been waiting all year to see this.
Thanks Purdue!

That Ohio State lost to an unranked team - again. OSU is just not consistent and has not been for years. Even the last time they made they playoffs they started and ended the game with the same score. Plus - this year it seems everyone had it out for OSU given the summer fiasco. The signs were there with close calls and comeback wins - it was just a matter of time.

No surprise...
That the World's Largest Cocktail Party did not disappoint. Two fierce conference rivals, both 6-1 with a shot at the SEC East crown. One coming off an embarrassing loss, the other coming off a season-high win (over the team that embarrassed the other). Sure, Georgia pulled away but not until the 4th quarter. The Dawgs are not known for bouncing back but my bet was on Jake Fromm and his competitiveness. I didn't think he'd let that LSU game keep him down.

No surprise...

A new low at BYU - hardly any fans
on a perfect fall day for football.

That BYU failed to show any passion or aggressiveness yet again. There does not seem to be much hope for a turnaround this year as we all hoped. The QB change sparked one game but failed to demonstrate any QB or team consistency. For the first time in years I'm debating whether or not to seek out and pay top dollar for the Holy War as I have in years past. It could be really, really ugly.


No surprise...

Not even in the student section.

That the top four remain the same but I doubt that'll be the case in a month. Remember how 4-6 weeks ago we all thought we'd see Ohio State, Wisconsin, and Washington vying for a playoff spot? Bama or LSU will drop out this week and I still have my doubts about Notre Dame pulling it off. Clemson is playing better but I think both Clemson and Bama have yet to be tested and may not be unless they meet up - again.
