Week 9 Recap & Week 2 BCS

Week 9 Recap & BCS Rankings

 

   Not a bad week for my picks.... 5-2 for the weekend. Missouri let me down in overtime against South Carolina. The SEC East is pretty inconsistent this season. And it's almost like nobody wants to win the SEC East..... Missouri had a shot at locking it up but they fouled up a 17 point lead in the fourth quarter. Enough with the Missouri game... What else happened this past weekend?

 

    Alabama did what we all thought they would do to Tennessee. It was ugly from start to finish. Saban had his team focused and they came out and took care of business.

 

    UCLA couldn't play 4 qtrs. with Oregon. The Ducks blew it wide open in the 4th. So much so, that it almost made you forget that it was 14-14 for most of the game. With this win, the Ducks moved to #2 in the BCS over Florida State. Not sure that it made a whole lot of sense, though. FSU still has the bigger win of the two, but it looks like it's going to shuffle nearly every week for the remainder of the season.

 

    Florida State throttles NC State..... Yeah, it was 35-0 in the first quarter. Winston threw for over 200 yards and 3 TDs in the first quarter. Sure, the final score was only 49-17, but FSU's second and third string players all saw playing time in the second half. NC State? Well, they left their starters in for the entire game. So if there is such a thing called a 'moral victory', NC State's starters beat FSU's second and third stringers 17 to 7. And with this questionable performance by FSU, they fall to #3 in the BCS.... Yep, they just didn't earn enough style points this week. However, FSU has a great chance to earn big time style points in their next game. The Noles host #7 Miami, and if FSU can destroy Miami, then I promise that next week we will have another swap at #2 and #3 in the BCS. Oh, and Oregon is on a BYE Week.

 

     Stanford survives Oregon State. The Beavers played a tough game, but they couldn't find the end-zone. Stanford moves to #5 with that win (and Missouri's loss) and it is looking like Oregon and Stanford are on a collision course.
