    Hate to see the target on their backs but they beat the #3 team by 13, the # 25 team by 13 and the # 16 team by 26........all on the road......so for the now the Tigers are the annointed ones.........Bama handled a good offensive Ark team and moved up too..........OU struggled at home against a mediocre Missouri and could have lost.........Stanford was open and this time of year it will drop you in the polls t hough I like them a lot......the Badgers rolled again and in my opinion are better than they were last year .....why...the QB is a stud.....OSU beat a good A&M team at Kyle Field and continure to impress me........Boise routed another which they have to do..........Oregon went to the desert (there's a song in there somewhere) and beat a decent Arizona team........never easy at night in Tuscon or Tempe.........Va Tech won and I will leave it at that............Sou Carolina had a tough fight in Vandy but won.........Clemson and Baylor both continue to win and moved into the rankings.................the sports consultatant took some revenge this week.......of the games I picked I went 4 and 5..........thank goodness I do not bet all the teams in the Top 15.........won a few bucks but my picking percentage took a hit this week

    Well, my Aztecs will not make David's top 20 this year. Michigan was a physically stronger team but the Aztecs played poorly and blew every chance they had. Robinson is fast but it helps to lay a glove on him. The kid is terrible throwing the ball but will be a great NFL running back if he can take the beating at 190 pounds.

    After watching my game, Clemson might be even better then ranked. Is their (Clemson's) offense that much better then Oklahoma's? Clemson's defense seems a little suspect with the Noles scoring that many points with no ground game, (although one of the TD's was a defensive one.) I thought for awhile an upset was brewing in Norman.

    I have yet to give up on this year, but I was pretty much a grouchy butthead for the rest of Saturday, spent it watching Jeff Dunham reruns instead of football. It's getting pretty bad when the Notre Dame hat is sitting higher up on the pole of power in our house then my FSU hat.

    This week and next Nebraska has to prove themselves. They have been so so all year but meeting the Badgers on the road, and following that up with the Buckeyes at home should be two good tests. Funny how the offense has been carrying the D this year. Always said Watson was the problem but now the Pelini brothers have to get them back playing solid D.

    You mean completely drunk, right?

    You know the closer it gets to game day in Madison, I have a feeling the Huskers will cover if not pull off the upset. Speed kills and they have a ton of it on offense.

    Hope you're right Ron...........I have always been a Husker fan except when playing the Tigers but you have more confidence than I. Some will be drunk by 11am.............they will begin tailgating and cooking Friday night and be at it way before daylight Saturday morning............a practice run for Game Day in another week.
