Final Week of College Football Regular Season

Week 14 Recap and BCS Shake Up

 

     Do you remember the first week of November? You know, we had already put Oregon and Alabama in the BCS Title Game.... Well, here we are at the end of the regular season and neither of those two will be in the BCS Championship. In fact, the SEC is in real danger of not even having their conference represented in the big game.

 

    Auburn is on a mission. There is no other way to describe it. Two weeks in a row, they have come up with wins in incredible fashion. How about it, Alabama? Are any of you Crimson Tide fans questioning the call to go for a 56-yard field goal? Granted, it was a different kicker than the other guy who missed three others, but really? A freshman? Kicking the game winner? Look at the other possible scenarios.... It very easily could've been blocked and returned for six. If the plan on that final drive was to get into field goal range, then I think AJ McCarron should have been on the field throwing instead of handing the ball off. If you run out of time, so what..... You go to overtime and take care of business. Saban might be losing his edge...... Yeah, I went there. He might already have his bags packed and ready to head to Texas.....

 

    We have a new number one in the polls. Alabama fell three spots to number four..... And Florida State takes over as the number one team in the nation for the first time since October 1st, 2000. Florida State has a conference championship game between them and their first trip to the BCS Title game since the 2000 season.

 

    Speaking of the ACC Championship game..... Duke secured the coastal division with a win over North Carolina. The Blue Devils are now 10-2 on the season..... As crazy as it sounds, Duke might be paying more attention to football over the next month than they will to basketball..... What has the world come to?

 

     So who plays for the crystal football? Will it play out the way it looks at this point, and have Florida State play Ohio State? Or can Auburn make a move with a convincing win over Missouri in the SEC Championship? If I am a Buckeye fan, I would be pulling for Missouri this upcoming week. This race for the BCS Title game isn't over yet..... Ohio State still has to come up with a win over Michigan State. Conference Championship week will be just as big as this past week was for the BCS. 

 

 

     USC announced today that they have a new head coach. Washington's Steve Sarkisian has accepted the job. Not exactly who I thought they would get, but it seems like a good fit at this point. Time will tell.

 

     So much happened this past weekend. From Ohio State needing a stop on a 2-point conversion, Florida State dismantling the Gators in the Swamp, to Auburn's "Kick Six" to knock off Alabama in the Iron Bowl. Check back for more updates. Heisman voting is in full force..... And questions still surround Heisman favorite Jameis Winston.
