0	TT out to an early leads against Kansas.....

10/25/08

0	Make that 7-7.

10/25/08

0	Oklahoma is lookin pretty good..TT sure is looking legit right now too.

10/25/08

0	TT is destroying Kansas right now. The top of the Big 12 is pretty amazing this year.

10/25/08

0	Illinois is letting Wisconsin hang around in there game, much like they did last year at Iowa. Mental errors, a turnover in Wisconsin territory and numerous penalties that have stalled drives equals a tie game at the half

10/25/08

0	And now Kansas St. within 7..OU offense might be great, but defense is awful right now.

10/25/08

0	And why exactly does the Minn game have to be on ESPN Classic now? I like watching the team a lot, but even living in the Twin Cities, I'm not able to see even half of their games.

0	Freeman might throw for 500 yards vs Sooners if D don't pick it up

10/25/08

0	it was 3rd and goal from the 6 for the Northwestern QB...and he ended up throwing the football at the 40... He finally turned around, and threw it out of bounds next to a receiver, and while the announcers were both all over it saying what a "great and smart" play it was by the QB, all I was thinking and hoping for was a Super-Orlovsky.

1	From your friendly neighborhood Gator fan,,,,,Florida will score 60+ before this game against the SECs #1 defense is over. Currently 42-3 at the half...Gator special teams is making Kentucky look like a high school JV team..

10/25/08

1	Florida 42, Kentucky 3...at the half. If Molly has UK still in her top 25 next week -- Jason might just have an aneurysm.

10/25/08

0	Baylor beating Nebraska 20-17 at half. OU on pace to score nearly as much as Georgia Tech did against Cumberland College in 1916.

0	this Oklahoma - Kansas St game will out score the basketball version later this winter. This is ridiculous.

10/25/08

0	This going to go against everything I believe in, but I hope Oklahoma keeps all their starters in and runs up the score. I want to see how high they can get.

10/25/08

0	I can't believe the Badgers are up 10 with under 4 to go. Granted, I can't believe we lost to Michigan either, so I guess I'll just give up on trying to figure this team out.

10/25/08

0	Baylor just missed a 19 yards field goal. They still lead Nebraska 20-17 here in Lincoln.

I can, this has been the carbon copy of Illini football the last few years. The most frustrating part is that this team has so much talent but they severely lack coaching and football smarts.

1	Tebow out Brantley in.....13 to go in the 4th score still 56-3 Florida driving

10/25/08

0	Nebraska 24-20 near end of 3rd

10/25/08

0	63-3

10/25/08

2	Illinois loses 27-17 at Wisky. This yet another game that proves that a Ron Zook coached team will never be any type of serious, consistent conference championship contender. Dont get me wrong, the guy can recruit, but when it comes to coaching, year in and year out his teams always find a way to lose games they should win.

10/25/08

3	Looks like Red Raiders will squeak by Kansas and set up a Lone Star state showdown next week. Unless Okie State can pull off the upset.

0	21-7 Dawgs. This one is already shaping up to look like the LSU/Florida game. The Cocktail party will be huge next weekend.

10/25/08

0	If LSU played in the Big Ten, everyone would be bitching about how horribly overrated they are. Just saying.

The only thing that matters is who the #1 AND #2 teams are. So if a team is #2, they aren't "chasing" anyone. At the end of the year, the #2 team plays in the NC game just like the #1 team does.

10/26/08

0	Hummm Texas just gets the Cowboys, Bama rolls the Vols, PSU was a sleeper game, the Gators prove the Wildcats are NOT the #1 SEC defense..My vote would be BAMA to 1 Texas to 2 Penn 3, FL 4, Oklahoma 5......

No way that Texas should drop for beating a team that was in the top 10, despite how close the score was. I also think Texas Tech needs some serious recognition, there beatdown of a top 25 team might've been the most impressive performance of the weekend.

10/26/08

1	I want to see Bama, Texas, and PSU all win out. What could be greater than yet another BCS nightmare?

Bama and Texas would make it in, no questions asked. Penn State's schedule is a complete joke. Bama and Texas both play at least 3 teams better than PSU's toughest opponent.

Correction, Bama and Texas should get in. You know just as well as I do that with the way the BCS perennially messes things up, it's not 100% guaranteed they'll both make the NC game.

BUT SCOTT COME ON BABE--I am just thinking on the same level as the way the SEC is treated, harshly. IF that was a #1 Bama team that barely beat a top ranked fellow SEC team, Bama woulda dropped to at least 3rd... Watch what happens next weekend with FL/UGA..BOTH are GREAT teams, both ranked in the top 10. One will fall,,,,,,,badly. Even if it is a one point game. That is just the way this conference is treated. My opinion, unfairly.
I still keep Texas there for the National title, just 2nd. The #2 team has the percentage when it comes to winning the title btw.
Tech would be up there for me, maybe a 6. I would love to give them the 5 spot over Oklahoma..Yeah, give Tech 5, screw Oklahoma
