Well last Saturday night didn't turn out to well for us Buckeye fans. The o-line was horrendous and I drank enough Jim Beam to forget it happened. The good news is I was so hungover I forgot to watch the Bengals get thouroughly destroyed by a Houston team that will be lucky to go 7-9. Anyway this week has a lot of good college games and I'll tell you all about them after the jump along with my updated top ten.
Thursday
South Florida at UC 7:30 espn- UC looks to bounce back after losing to UCONN (who are looking to repeat as big east champs which is just crazy) last week. South Florida might still be ranked I don't really know but I do know if you ever make it close enough to South Florida's campus aka Tampa do yourself a favor and visit the Mons Venus, that place is amazing. Pick-UC
Saturday
Northwestern at Minny Noon espn2- I think this game might be for second place in the big ten which just absolutely blows my mind. Also if we're lucky Pam Ward will be broadcasting the game as Chris Speilman does the color from the field like he did for an OSU game earlier this year. Pick- Minny
Pittsburg at Notre Dame 2:30 NBC- all i know about this game is that Tom Hammond will be way to excited about two teams that are not nearly close to being anything more than Gator Bowl participants. Pick- Pittsburgh
Florida versus Georgia (in Jacksonville) 3:30 CBS- this game will decide who wins the SEC East. SInce I know less Georgia fans I will be rooting for them to beat the tar out of the Gators but I don't see the game turning out that way. Pick- UF
FSU at Georgia Tech 3:30 ABC- both teams enter this game with a chance to win the ACC title which really isn't saying anything but hey somebody has to take that title. Pick- Georgia Tech
Texas at Texas Tech 8pm ABC- Gameday will be here as I don't think Corso has had to leave the state of Texas for a month now except for last weekends trip to Columbus. The Red Raiders looked great against Kansas last week on the road but KU is certainly no Texas. Texas looks to keep its streak going and it has been amazing to watch them try and beat their fourth straight ranked opponent. Pick- Texas
Last week 3-3 on the season 41-20
My top ten
10) Utah 9) Ok St 8) Georgia 7) Ok 6) USC 5) Florida 4) Tex Tech 3) Alabama 2) PSU 1) Texas
One thing that I hate, HATE, is that the Buckeyes and the Bengals are always grouped together. When you say "us" Buckeye fans who do you mean? I have written letter after letter to whoever will listen to stop playing that god for saken "Hang on Sloopy" song at the stadium. Just because you are a Bengals fan it does not make you a Buckeye fan, and I am proud to say that I hate the Buckeyes, not as much as the Steelers. Go Bearcats.
