Week 5 on the Couch

Okay, here we go. As soon as you think that you might want to not watch much college football this weekend 7 of the Top 15 lose.

  • #1 USC left all of their crisp play in LA and squeaked by U-Dub by 3. SC looked terrible and I would not be surprised if LSU is #1 in the AP Poll.
  • #2 LSU drove 90 miles to N’awlins and struggled with Tulane, but they won by 25.
  • #3 Oklahoma was up 24-7 and should have finished off Colorado—however, they stopped doing anything well and CU got them at the gun with a FG.
  • #4 Florida falls to Auburn. Apparently Tommy Tuberville knows how to stop Urban Meyer’s offense. So now their championship hopes rest on the trip to LSU; if they play like this LSU drills them by 20.
  • #5 West Virginia (I was wrong about them) looked terrible and lost to South Florida. USF took advantage of Mountaineer miscues and now control the Big East.
  • #6 Cal went to #11 Oregon and (I got this one right) Cal got the offense going late. Looks like they will move up to #3, thanks to Cameron Colvin’s fumble.
  • #7 Texas looked awful. Living here in Texas, I got to see this game, and KSU kicked the sh*t out of the Longhorns. With both OU and Texas losing, the game at the state fair is now for staying in the race and not going 0-2 in the Big 12 South.
  • #8 Ohio State beats the crap out of an awful Minnesota team. Maybe they will get Purdue’s best since Purdue played well (for 30 minutes at least) against Notre Dame before letting ND back in the game. The losing streak stands at 7 for the Irish.
  • #9 Wisconsin survives at home against Michigan State. This game was a shootout and Sparty had a shot; just couldn’t execute late.
  • #10 Rutgers looked very ordinary against Maryland at home and the middle of the ACC pack took down the Scarlet Knights 34-24.
  • #12 BC plays a very tough 1-AA team in UMass and the the Minutemen keep it close. The Eagles squeak by with a 10 point win.
  • #13 Clemson falls to the Ramblin’ Wreck of Georgia Tech 13-3. Tommy Bowden can’t seem to enjoy winning games and being ranked.
  • #14 Kentucky wins again, and this after Coach Brooks claimed on the Jim Rome Show that his team could be as good as USC.
  • #15 Georgia wins again, dominating Ole Miss in the second half.

So now the Top 10 will probably look like this:

  1. USC/LSU (take your pick)
  2. Cal
  3. Ohio St
  4. Wisconsin
  5. Oklahoma
  6. Florida
  7. BC
  8. Kentucky
  9. Georgia
  10. Oregon

    Eaaaaaasy, the whole team didn’t look terrible. Our defense looked good, but, yeah, our offense was sucky. Booty should throw better and the receivers should try and catch the passes that come within ummmmm arm’s length.

    Another ‘SC fanatic here…they might not have looked terrible, but with trips to Cal, Oregon and ASU left, they’ll have to play a lot better than that to run the table….

    Something just seems off right now…
