Thoughts and commentary on the week ten of teh College Football season.
Virginia Tech - OVERRATED clap clap clapclapclap - The U absolutely owned Va Tech from the moment the whistle blew. All the things that I saw in VT that baffled me as to why they were still undefeated were exploited by the Canes. Vick's careless attitude with the football was reminiscent of Vince Young's first season in rotation. The Hokies have speed, but not depth with speed. It was exploited as the Canes kept bringing in fresh legs and dominated.
Miami should be number three behind UT and USC. They are a far better team than Alabama. Bama's offense needs to be reminded that going all the way to the other end of the field is a GOOD thing. You can not blame that pitiful display on missing Prothro. Yeah he is good, but one guy and offense does not make. At least if UT were to lose Vince *knocking on wood*, we KNOW we can run the ball.
USC gives up twenty-one to Stanford. A tree. Three touchdowns to a Tree. VY and the boys are licking their chops. I think Vegas has USC -5 right now if they were to face UT. Better start reevaluating that...
The Bama stuff reminds me of another point; SEC offense sucks. Not just one or two teams, but all of it. Everyone keeps pointing at the team defense stats. Well, if the entire conference SUCKS offensively, the entire conference is going to look bad-ass on paper. But watch those games. The receivers can't run routes, the QB's can't hit the broad side of a barn and the games are just tedious and boring. The SEC has recruited itself into the defense only conference. None of the offensively explosive players want to go there. Not because of the fear of the defense, but more because they don't want to run routes to watch yet another running play setting up "field position" for yet another lame three and out. Did anyone watch the mighty *chuckle* ND defense shut down Tennessee? ND tried giving Phil the game with field position that would give High School teams a shot at putting up at least three. Spurrier and Meyer are their only hope...
The current Brian Championship Series top ten:
1) Texas
2) USC
3) Miami
4) Penn State
5) Bama
6) FSU
7) Texas Tech
8) LSU
9) Va Tech
10) Ohio State
Yeah, I'm biased, but this is my current list based on games I have actually watched. OSU is the best two loss team I think I have ever watched play. The common theme is "the any given day" theory. Talent+Coaching+Confidence. The Red Raiders should scare anyone they play. Penn State is full if confidence, despite the heart breaking loss. I am still pulling for a Gray family feud of PSU/UT Rose Bowl (Mom is a Nittany Lion, I was raised thinking JoePa was God). USC loses one game, Miami lose to FSU again in the ACC championship game and Bama goes down next week, it would be hard not to give the nod to Joe Pa and his talented freshmen.
