astros148 is an idiot, but that is the one thing i can agree with him on. you dont have to be a homer to see that texas is the number 1 team in the country. in all honesty do you really consider florida (who needs ref help to win and is so inconsistent) and dont even get me started on how lucky alabama is (winning wihhout scoring a touchdown and blockign a last second field goal, refs helping them, that ridiculous int against LSU not getting called).
I haven't seen much of him before today, but he looks like the perfect NFL QB in this game. Throwing rockets short and long into traffic with perfect precision, running effectively, consistently making good reads/decisions, etc.
I've never seen the kind of pocket presence he had in high school on a high school kid. Just a total command of what's going on. By all accounts, a great kid, too.
It's funny that Boise is taking out its frustrations with the BCS on Idaho. It looks like they want to score 70 or 80 pts today. I'm starting to think they'll get an at-large bid just because no one else seems deserving. You'd have to take some crappy 2 or 3 loss team instead of Boise, and I'm not sure that will happen.
2-loss USC ranked at number 9 is a complete joke. This season everyone expected USC will give up its pac-10 crown, but nobody was expecting Oregon and Stanford would be the contenders. Iowa just did its Iowa thing and tied Ohio State. Speaking of these two teams, that USC loss does not help Ohio State anymore Texas looks like the best team in the nation right now, firing on all cylinders (except our second team D, lol)
For you TCU fans out there... If South Carolina can upset Florida, and Florida can beat Alabama in the SEC Title Game, that may just set up a Texas vs. TCU national title game...
i bet USC will drop to 12 after today , even if they do lose. the bcs is a joke , no matter what USC will be top 5 in preseason polls . typical UT has been DOMINATE the past weeks , UF is hardly beating south Carolina, had a tough time against Georgia in the first half last week, hardly beat Arkansas , not impressive at all . Bama will have its hands full tonight too.
Rice wins 28-20 over Tulane! It's been a nightmare of a season, but at least the homecoming streak is alive at 6. Nick Fanuzzi with 4 TD passes, Toren Dixon with 7 receptions, 158 yards, 3 TDs. Go OWLS!
