The Blue Workhorse

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.

Oklahoma won impressively yet again, and it was just enough to bump them past Texas and into the Big XII championship game. With a win, they appear to be destined for the national championship against the winner of the SEC championship game. Too bad Texas can’t replace Missouri in the championship game. Now that would make for an entertaining championship weekend.

Is Sam Bradford still throwing touchdowns? Because that seemed to be the only thing he could do on Saturday night. Oklahoma’s dominating performance against Texas Tech shakes up our rankings a bit and makes the BCS even more confusing.

While their weren’t any true marquee games this week, Oregon State did beat Cal positioning themselves even further for the Pac-10 title. Coach Mike Riley has quietly put together a solid season after the Beavers started terribly slow.

In other conference races: no one wants to win the ACC; the Big 10 is Penn State’s to lose; the SEC & WAC races are already over; and the Big East, Mountain West, MAC, Sun Belt, and Big XII could be all but determined this weekend.

Congrats to Rosenblogger and his Vanderbilt Commodores as they have become bowl eligible for the first time in his lifetime. Bobby Johnson is a great coach who wins the right way, and we applaud his accomplishment.

I didn’t have my best showing last week, but I’m bound to rebound with authority this week. Unfortunately, there aren’t any true blockbuster games like there have been almost every weekend for the past month or so.

Nonetheless, there still are some intriguing matchups this week.

So what kind of predictions do I have this week? Probably not any good ones, but here they are:

Texas Tech was impressive once again as they dominated a strong Oklahoma State team 56-20. Alabama escaped a tough road contest in Baton Rouge. Florida, Texas, and Oklahoma all were dominant in conference wins.

The big upset, however, came in Kinnick Stadium as the Iowa Hawkeyes knocked off former BCS top contender Penn State thanks to Daniel Murray’s game-winning kick.

WOW! That’s about all that could be mustered after that final play of the Texas Tech/Texas ball game. What a game between two teams still with national championship aspirations. The win only makes this week’s Texas Tech/Oklahoma State game even bigger.

Speaking of big games…how about what was, before the season began, supposed to be the game of the year - Georgia/Florida? What a bore. Georgia turned the ball over repetitively and Tim Tebow capitalized every time (5 total TDs: 3 running, 2 passing).

Oklahoma State really gave Texas a run for their money. Unfortunately, for the Cowboys, Texas still reigns supreme in the land as they hung on for the 28-24 victory. In the other matchup of top ten teams, Georgia dominated LSU despite having an offensive line that was supposed to get dominated. So much for those experts.
