    Hmm... well the season's almost over... We got this week... and then next week... and then the bowl games. How nice....

    Highlight Games for this week:

    Kansas-Texas
    OSU-Michigan
    Florida-FIU
    HOU-MEM
    TCU-WYO
    Cal-Stan
    Bama-Chat

    There don't seem to be any good games... Long shots for upsets this week... but the seasons almost over so... I'm just looking forward to December/January.

    The Ohio State game always causes my productivity to plummet.

    A noon game following a deflating loss versus a lame duck team... man, the attendance at Robertson is going to blow chunks... I'd be shocked if we pulled 18K.

    They're still ranked, so it's not too bad.

    McCoy can set the all-time wins record before a quasi-national audience Saturday night. If he wants the Heisman, he'll have to have a good game... but it seems Texas would rather win and stay healthy than really let McCoy go for the gaudy numbers that impress.

    Guessing with a resounding victory over Kansas, UT moves back to #2 in the BCS. Alabama is playing a FCS team at the wrong time (Chattanooga).

    He'll play 3 quarters if it's a blow out... if not.. he plays the whole game.. that's according to Mack's game plan.

    There is ZERO chance he wins the Heisman.

    Even a huge blowout will probably lower Bama's score in the computer portion of the BCS.

    With all due respect, that's ridiculous. He's second in the most highly regarded Heisman poll (heismanpundit.com) and is about to get a ton of press for breaking the all-time wins record by a quarterback. All of his final three games are in primetime and on national television. He's ahead of Tebow by nearly all measures. If Florida bottles up Ingram and beats Alabama convincingly, I think there's at least a 50/50 shot that McCoy ends up with the Heisman.

    Again, I'm not predicting he will - just that saying there's zero chance is flat out wrong and goes against every piece of evidence that's out there. Maybe you don't think he deserves it, and that's your right - but there's definitely a chance he wins.

    Knowing Brando, he was merely just trying not to jinx it.

    Why is Cal v Stanford on your list? Cal


    Oregon & Arizona. Big game! If oregon wins they are in solid position to win the PAC10.

    Arizona really blew it against Cal...they should have beat them. They still have a chance but they have to run the table.

    Uh because Stanford did great against USC last week... i'm thinking that momentum will carry over to this week making it a good game.

    It's destiny that Ole Miss is going to lose to LSU. What a complete fluke series of plays. It should be 10-0 Ole Miss but instead LSU leads 7-3.

    Also: Jevon Snead is terrible. If Jordan Jefferson doesn't thrown 5 ints, LSU has this in the bag.

    he is a freshman but usc does have the number one recruit in the nation at QB. they will probably be alright in that regard.

    Maybe just for a season or two.

    Losing Gresham and Bradford completely killed OU's season, they're losing a lot of seniors after this season so they'll probably be down for another season or so. Just remember that OU was down for a couple seasons with Bomar/Thompson at QB but was right back in the Championship hunt with Bradford.

    While starting a true freshman has obviously hurt USC, they're having a ton of problems on defense. But USC will just re-load and they'll be right back in the hunt, especially playing in the Pac-10.
