The Blue Workhorse

In Pittsburgh, Tony Romo gave away the game and a chance for Dallas to increase their chances for a wild card berth. In New York, the Eagles upset the Giants amid the Plaxico Burress swirling mess. In Seattle, Matt Cassel slipped the Pats by the Seahawks.

In Baltimore, the Ravens dominated Washington to make it official that they are legit. And in Carlotte, the Panthers scored 21 fourth quarter points to set themselves up to control their owndestiny for the #1 seed in the NFC.

There was a great competitive matchup for the SEC title and then there was a blowout where the opposition never even looked prepared for the Big XII title.

The winners, Florida & Oklahoma, of these games will now faceoff for the right to be crowned the BCS national champion.

Another week means another re-evaluation, and thus, we give you our new The Blue Workhorse College Football Top 25 after Week 14. Some things to note from this week’s rankings:

If you follow college football, then you know that the Heisman Trophy is to be presented to the FBS college football player of the year this weekend. What I’m planning to do is to compile a sample (as large as possible) of who Sports Bloggers & Internet Sports Fans would cast their ballot for, if [...]

With the Thanksgiving holidays last week, we did not get an opportunity to produce our weekly NFL power rankings, but we’re back and better than ever this week.

There is plenty of movement in this week’s rankings with Atlanta and Baltimore moving back into the Top 10 while Arizona falls out of the Top 10 after residing in the Top 5 previously thanks to losses to New York and Philadelphia.

My selections last week were pretty good. I only missed two games. Of course, I did miss the big one. I thought Texas Tech would at least put on a better showing in Norman.

This week, however, I’ve got all the winners with a couple of unexpected upsets during Rivalry Week:

(all rankings from are from The Blue Workhorse College Football Top 25)
#3 Oklahoma at #12 Oklahoma State

There will be Bedlam in Stillwater this year. This year’s rivalry game may have the most riding on it in the history of the series. Oklahoma comes into the game with the apparent advantage and fast track in the Big XII South. With a win, the Sooners should be have the advantage in the BCS standings and, therefore, win the tiebreaker between themselves, Texas, and Texas Tech.

It has been a while since I’ve been free on a Saturday and able to make my weekly college football observations. I’ve only had like two days off in the last 3 1/2 weeks, so needless to say, I haven’t had an overabundance of free time.

This week, I tried to make some observations, but I also had to fight off the sleep from working the night before and having to work Saturday night as well. What that amounted to was my viewing of the entirety of the early games, the very beginning of the midday games, and a little bit of the late games before heading back to work.

There were some huge matchups for the top 10 teams, including Oklahoma’s dismantling of Texas Tech, but here are 28 observations about certain players and teams from 7 of Saturday’s games I was able to catch in between napping and work:

Earlier this week in Part I, I gave you my predictions for some big time conference matchups on Wednesday and Thursday nights. I was right about Ball State remaining undefeated, but I was shocked by the performance of Georgia Tech last night.

The Ramblin’ Wreck absolutely destroyed Miami with their triple option attack as they piled up 472 rushing yards…yea, 472 rushing yards! I should have known better than to take an ACC squad their first week entering the Top 25, but I was completely unprepared for Miami’s inability to play assignment football.

No problems, though, as I am completely prepared to predict the rest of Week 13’s dynamite college football games:

A lot of close games this past week. In fact, only 3 games had a margin of victory greater than 10 points. The big winners: the Jets and the Cowboys both scored huge divisional victories while Denver victory over Atlanta (combined with San Diego’s loss) gives the Broncos a commanding lead in the AFC West.

At the top of the rankings, the top four teams remain the same with the Tennessee Titans. After that there is plenty of shakeup led by big gains from Dallas and Indianapolis while teams 10-13 all fell after being Top 10 teams last week.
