So, I am sitting in the doctor's office with my wife this morning (just procedure, nothing major). The edge of a Sports Illustrated magazine catches my eye. It is the college football preview edition. It has the final 4 listed on the front: Ohio State, Auburn, TCU, and Notre Dame. I thought, "M...

I was at a boat party/family get together Saturday. I was watching the score of the game very closely. I was texting my wife's cousin who lives less than an hour from Ann Arbor and a huge Michigan fan, like me. So, with 10 seconds to go or whatever it was, I thought this is done. Then, I see where t...

I look at some of the win loss records or other signs and think... how the mighty have fallen.

Didn't see much college football Saturday. At a wedding for a coworker. However, I was checking scores. Michigan continues to surprise. I mean they are playing some ball. How in the world does Texas win? This is the reason I never bet on rivalry games. Once again, the Ducks lose. Their remaining fiv...

Wow, no Notre Dame and no Michigan. The last ten years, and these two schools don't make the list. Made me do a double take.

3 seasons does not make a team's resume'... I pull for the ACC like crazy. Urban dictionary even defines pulling a Clemson or Clemsoning... I meant in the college football world altogether. I just meant a good win hopefully isn't followed up by an awful loss.

Okay. So I turn on the TCU Texas game about 3 minutes into the second quarter. I saw the score. Enough said. But really, 10 years ago who would have predicted Baylor and YOU, both to be this good? Improve, yes. This good. Wow. Virginia Tech. How you disappoint me. Michigan on a defensive romp as of ...

Down to the wire, yes, I agree. This will make for a great season. But in the end, which teams will have a major beef with the final four? Could there be some 2 loss teams in there? Could there be a coach that says we only lost in overtime? Or our conference schedule allows teams to beat each other ...

Which is going to make me think and ask: Is TCU that good? Is it game control or lack of defense? It just seems like the playoff has some teams playing in a different manner. The supposedly good teams are playing below on some levels while the not so hot teams are playing with a chip. You combine th...

And then Oregon really stinks it up... at home. Looks like Utah might be the real deal.

I know the preseason polls are just for fluff, but I look at the ones that have dropped so far, so fast. And a lot of these teams haven't faced the "buzzsaws" yet. It looks like Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Baylor, Michigan State, Ohio State, etc. are the ones to beat. Season has got to play ou...

Yeah, we can't upset ESPN powers.

Well, I am pretty excited that Michigan had a victory, a shutout victory, nonetheless. Virginia Tech on the other hand was disappointing. I mean, you go to Purdue and win like bandits, then you travel 3 or 4 hours away and can't beat ECU. On the edge of a top 25 ranking, and you crap your pants. ECU...

Just gotta say, conference champs in the playoff. It would take a lot of the "alternative thinking processes" out of the mix.

It seems that no year has been Virginia's year over the last few especially. They somehow seem to "get up" for the much lower ranked opponents (barely though) and the date vs Virginia Tech. London might be searching for a job after this season.
