I think you can excuse the \u2018Bamma game as being cocky and overconfident; the \u201cBlack Out\u201d crap if you will.  Plus <em>Alabama<\/em> played a great game.  The Vandy game had to be a look ahead to <em>LSU<\/em> and <em>Florida<\/em>.

It sucks that the <em>Georgia<\/em> and <em>Texas<\/em> games are on at the same time, but I guess I will have to flip channels between commercials.  I am expecting another <em>Texas<\/em> shoot out.  When did the Big 12 become all WAC and no defense?  I think a lot of folks want <em>Texas<\/em> to stumble in order for <em>Penn St<\/em>, <em>USC<\/em>, or God forbid, <em>Ohio St.<\/em> to sneak back into the National Championship picture.  Good grief!<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Big Ten suckiness, Prime Time on ABC features <em>(3) Penn St vs. (9) Ohio St<\/em>.  This one wants to make me throw up.  Do I pull for the Nittany Lions, which means they go to the National Championship game despite a super weak schedule?  I think I would rather stab my eyes out than root for the Buckeyes.  If <em>Ohio St<\/em> wins, at least they have already shown they should not be a title contender.  Would voters really give them a third crack at this thing?  Shoot me now.<\/p>\n<p>Go Dawgs!
