SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings »
Oregon escaped Cal with a narrow victory owed to a missed 29 yard Golden Bear field goal caused by a penalty that negated the original make. One errant chip shot and a Cameron Newton suspension may have been the only thing standing between a TCU-Boise State national title game, which would have led to societal mayhem as men who like to overstate points are forced to undergo various humiliations after having categorically stating to a friend during a drunken college football Saturday party weeks before that "if Boise State or TCU ever wins the national title, I will.....(fill in blank with heinous, uncomfortable, or decidedly homosexual act).
Can Cal's brilliant defensive game plan against Oregon - which attacked the empty space behind the zone read to destroy the cutback lanes and held Oregon with only one offensive touchdown - be duplicated by others? My guess is that this is currently the hottest game tape going in college football. The "A Night In Paris" of the gridiron.
TCU had their big win over Utah last week tarnished when Notre Dame pasted Utah in South Bend, but the Frogs still get a narrow nod over the Auburn WarTiger Street Agents. That may all be rendered a moot point if and when the NCAA places Cameron Newton on the pine for the Iron Bowl/SEC title game/National Championship.
Wisconsin dropped a basketball score on Indiana (83-20) without their best player, relying heavily on an archaic device known as "The Run Game." I do not trust this strange and exceptional method of football forward progress and I will monitor this team again to see if it can be repeated.
The rest of the Top 25 is a jumble of opinion, but it must be noted that the Stanford Cardinal are 9-1 with nothing more than a quality QB, a shitload of attitude and bad intentions, and a slow defense. Coaching really matters. How Jim Harbaugh's career plays out will be one of the most interesting career arcs of the next ten years.
Thoughts and opinions always welcome.

There must be something wrong with my newsfeed. It still thinks no one has shot Nick Fairley.

We sold HenryJames to spenceparksoapbox for a six pack of Pacifico.

Agree with your top bunch . . . Oklahoma State ahead of Nebraska? Huskers beat ’em, and both have 1 loss.

Are you giving TCU the nod over Auburn because you think Cam is going to be forced to sit or is it because you really think they would beat Auburn on a neutral field?

It’s going to be sweet when Boise passes TCU in the BCS.

But Nebraska’s loss is extremely embarrassing.

If I was The Mad Hatter, I would be conducting the finest private investigation of Cam Newton money could buy. If Auburn does go on the the SEC Champ game and National Title, and then Newton is found to have dipped in the old offering bowl for his services, LSU’s one-loss to Auburn becomes an undefeated season and they would have been cheated out of the SEC title match and possible MNC.

“We sold HenryJames to spenceparksoapbox for a six pack of Pacifico.”
And we’d like to have that trade back, for sure. All he does is sit in the corner and mumble about maximizing player’s talent at offensvie tackle. And he always smells of hefeweizen.

Boise beat both Oregon and TCU within the last year, and won every BCS game they’ve played. Now, no one will schedule them. They’ve done everything they’ve been asked to do, and should be in the BCS Championship this year.

Can we replace Mack with Boise’s coach? Or at least give him a raise and hire him to be our OC?

All you have to do to quiet him down is put Wapner on at 3:00.
