A terrific weekend of football!!!  I was on guard duty so I missed most games, but I did enjoy watching USC lose  8-)  Bama, a terrific football team this year, we'll see if they can hold it together, Saban needs to keep their heads out of their butts. 

We hit #3 this week, not bad, things will change when top ten teams start playing other top ten teams (ahem TEXAS) 

Michigan finally made the power rankings, tying their winning record from last year (LMAO in disgust)  Hope they can at least pull a bowl game this year.  I'll let you link an image if they win the Champs  ;D

Well im a bit worried about Cal they played a close one against Minnesota  ::)...

Although I have noticed over the years that Cal can struggle badly away. Jahvid Best though saved our team and im happy we dont have to play Oregon at Oregon  :o. They say now after Cal's performance that they might not beat USC but after how USC has played in their last 3 games im sure they will take that back. Still have hope.

Texas Tech was so close  :( :'(...

Although what I dont really get is how Jahvid Best didn't move up in the Heisman Watch. He got 5 rushing TD's and another 100+ yard game and he stays at #3 with Tim Tebow still on top (even though he threw for 0 PASSING TD'S!) and Colt McCoy?!?!

Is it the Heisman or the Popularity contest  ::)...if you look at the stats right now Best should be on top or at least 2nd.

You non-SEC people just don't get it.

The SEC is the most awesome conference in college football.

The SEC has 4 teams in the the top 7 in the country.

The only team that can beat a good SEC team is another SEC team.

It is unfortunate that LSU, Mississippi and Alabama will lose at least one game.  But they will lose to other SEC teams.  They will not lose to non-SEC teams.

At the end of the year undefeated Florida will play for the national championship against some lame Big-8 or Big-12 team.  Florida will win by 14 points.

Alabama will play in a bowl game against another lame Big-8 or Big-12 team, its only loss being against Florida in the SEC Championship game.  Alabama will win by 21 points.

::)  After watching Florida play Tenn I got a feeling Bama will put them in their place... ;D  Ole Miss might be a challenge, but Florida looks weak this year, we'll see...Texas?  Piece of cake, I think it will be a sleeper team this year that beats Bama.  (if anyone beats us...)

As a Penn State student and fan, I think I can safely say that we are overrated.

Our football schedule is usually pathetic up until the final few games, with the only usual challenges being Ohio State and possibly either of the Michigans depending on whether or not it is home or away. (Having the largest student section in the nation does affect the gameplay.)

And going along with Webb's comment, we would get our butts handed to us vs an SEC team even with home field advantage.

Not really sure how Penn State could fix this problem, but at least we'll get a little bit more good out of conference experience next year and in the following years. ('Bama away game next year, followed by home game year after. more exposure to Nebraska, etc.)

Interesting..no one has brought up Cal... ::) :o ;D

Cal is sneaking in and nobody knows it... ;D :D (From #12-#6)

I think that if Cal beats USC more people should be scared because from then on they can easily go undefeated maybe even playing in the National Championship. ;)

I would like to say that overall last year I think the Pac-10 did the best. They were undefeated in bowl games 5-0. Just what I think... ;D ;D

Horrible game today...
twice I saw Cal get turnovers then right after that turn it back over. Kevin Riley overthrew the WR's to many times and Jahvid Best wasnt having such a good rushing game because our Offensive Line was doing absolutely nothing. Kevin Riley could barely stay in the pocket so when we rushed it went nowhere.

Next week is a must win. Cal has very tough times on the road as you can tell we almost lost to Minnesota last week but came back and this week we got smashed by Oregon at one of the loudest stadiums in college.

Next week at Cal, so im a little bit more confident about that but I think Cal might have been more focused on next week than this week. Its not over yet, but I hope Cal wont bump down to far in the BCS since Oregon isnt that bad. :(
