Well what do you know? Saturday is not over and we already have another wacky week of college football. Not that it should be a surprise to anyone, but to some people, it probably is.
Not that it's a bad thing. If we knew who would win the games, then there would be basically no point in playing them. Last blog I wrote of how all the wacky things attracts people more to football than baseball. Granted, one does not know what will happen in baseball either- it is about as unpredictable as football. But football's upsets and wacky Saturday's are always more interesting. Stupid calls work for some coaches (Les Miles), and quick thinking coaches save their teams victories (Nick Saban over Ole Miss). Teams who lose to yesterday's nobodies could very possibly turn around and defeat the defending national champions (as did Auburn). Tennessee got hammered by Florida and Alabama, but yet hammered Georgia- who then beat Florida by twelve points. South Carolina was the first team to play LSU "reasonably" close, until the Florida game, but yet they lost to Vanderbuilt and are currently getting beat bad by Tennessee. South Carolina also beat Kentucky who is the only team to have beaten LSU. But did I mention that they lost today to Mississppi St. Need I say more?
Yes, this is an interesting year, and some would call it one for the ages. But I don't really think so. Not that it is not more interesting than other years, but that we should be seeing the same stuff happen in the years to come- for a good while. It's all part of the wonderful but yet wacky game of good ol' college football. Perhaps all we need now is a playoff, although that is still up for debate.
Stay tuned for upcoming blogs. I'll try to post some this week. Topics include: Was that a cheap-shot from Auburn on Ducet against LSU 10/20, or just a sloppy play with a bad ending, my college football rankings, and my college football predictions- although it is hard to predict games these days!
What do you think?
God bless you all!
