Thanks to ABC for not showing us a decent game, but I digress.  Maybe the Cowboys are a better than decent team.  Texas cannot put up a boatload of points on every opponent, and after a tough run of Oklahoma and Missouri, Texas was bound to come back to earth.  Next week features another tough test, when the Longhorns visit Top 10 Texas Tech. Hopefully Texas can survive the Red Raiders.  Hook \u2019em!<\/p>\n<p>Vanderbilt falling 10-7 at home to Duke has to be the biggest disappointment of the weekend for SEC fans.  After a 5-0 start, the Commodores have dropped three in a row, and trying to get bowl eligible does not get any easier.  Vanderbilt\u2019s remaining schedule features home dates with Florida and Tennessee, with road trips to Kentucky and Wake Forest.<\/p>\n<p>Big Ten football is pathetic.  The (3) Penn St at (9) Ohio St game was not even watchable.  (5) USC squeaked by Arizona.  (2) Alabama also took down the lowly Volunteers.<\/p>\n<p>How are Oklahoma, USC, and Oklahoma State all in front of Georgia?  I can see a case for Oklahoma \u2026 maybe.  USC?  No way their strength of schedule has been better than Georgia\u2019s.  How can Florida be in front of Georgia in any poll?  I think a loss to Alabama is better than a loss to Ole Miss.  I am sure Texas Tech will jump over Georgia, and who the hell has Penn State played?  Much like the Alabama game, if the Bulldogs do not take care of business in Jacksonville, none of this matters.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everyone is going to say that (1) Texas escaped (6) Oklahoma St, 28-24, and by looking at the score, I would say they are correct.
