Ok, here they are. Get them while their hot.
Top 10 Things Saw/Heard/Read From Week 6 in College Football
- For 3 quarters Arkansas looked like a real SEC football team. Then the 4th quarter arrived, and 21, 76, and 64 yard runs later by Florida and it was 38 - 7 again. Marked improvement for 3 quarters though.
- So, South Florida is the class of the Big Least conference, eh? Well, a home loss to the 'Stache wasn't good and now the Big Least is just as irrelevant as ever.
- Oregon State is the Jeckyll and Hyde program again this year. After knocking off the Mighty Trojans from USC, they give up 11 points in the final 1:30 to lose to the Utes. This IS College Football.
- BYU keeps rolling up points and rolling up wins. After steam rolling through the Aggies of Utah State, the Cougars are now firmly entrenched in the Top 10.
- The Jayhawks came from 20 down to upend the Cyclones scoring 35 points in the final two quarters to win by 2.
- Welcome to the Houston Nutt era in Oxford. Win IN the Swamp and then lose at home to the Ol Ball Coach. Hope you enjoy it
- It was bound to happen some time, and lucky for the Crimson Tide it happened at home. They had a let down and escaped Tuscaloosa with a 3 point win over a game Kentucky team.
- The Juice was Loose in Ann Arbor as the Illini steam rolled over the Wolverines behind Williams' 310 yards passing and 2 TD and his 121 yards rushing and 2 TD.
- Break up the 'Dores!!! The Commodores held on to upend Auburn in Nashville and move to 5 - 0 and atop the SEC East. Someone take a picture. It is kind of like Obama getting a free pass from the MSM. It only happens once in a lifetime.
- After 30 years of futility, the Missoura Tigers marched into Lincoln and completely dominated a hapless Cornhusker team. This Mizzou team is scary good on offense. Took them 58 seconds to score their first TD and the never slowed down from there.
Brick of the Week
This week, it was pretty easy giving out the BOTW. After a team losses at home to Arkansas State, you should NEVER pick them to win another game. Period. End of story. However, that is exactly what happened this week. After the once proud Aggies were stunned at home by Arkansas State, the Aggies have been anything but deplorable. They have 2 wins on the season against New Mexico and Navy. So, picking them to somehow beat a VERY talented Cowboy team in Stoolwater is just ludicrous. So, this week, Mr. Lance "My Raiders are Worse than My Razorbacks" Williams. Congratulations Gator!
Pick of the Week
Typically as the season goes on this award gets harder and harder to hand out. There are upsets, and there are Rivalry games and there are a sundry other things that make the odds of just one or two people correctly picking a game less realistic. Therefore, that is what has happened this week. We had 5 individuals who correctly picked the Ohio State Buckeyes to come from behind in Camp Randall and stun the Wisconsin Badgers for their first loss at home under Bielema. So, Mrs. April "Just call me Mommy" Mashburn, Mr. Steven "Lee Corso is my homeboy" Leija, Mr. Jonathan "Where are the Irish in these Pick-Ems" Butcher, Mr. Gene "I think we are turning the corner" Strode, and Mr. Travis "Class of 1991″ Stout. Congratulations folks!
Champion of the Week
Once again another week has come and gone and still no perfect Pick-Em weeks have been had. This week we came as close as we can possibly get without getting one. Our COTW went 9 - 1 and their only miss was a 1 point win by the Vanderbilt Commodores. Had the kicker not missed the PAT, OT would have taken place and you never know what happens then. Nonetheless, it was still a miss and therefore at 9 - 1 (the only one this week, btw) our COTW for Week 6 is none other than Mr. Steven "Kirk Hierbstreet is my home boy too" Leija. Congratulations Brotha-from-another-Motha!
