Yes... sleepin'
Its just terribly disappointing to see my team continue to muddle through a lull in its schedule, and be stuck in the polls. LSU looks strong again, and Florida looks pretty much unbeatable. Nobody but Bama is getting any respect from the writers. Meanwhile, OSU (the cowboys) and Texas Tech are mentioned in the same breath as Texas for no damned reason. When Texas absolutely jocks Mizzou, its a shootout of the titans, but when Bama brutalizes UGA, its time to stop talking about the dawgs, and move west. WTFever, fellas 8(. We're so bruised up on the O-line this season, winning out doesn't look possible.
Texas vs. Mizzou
I don't think anybody wants to face Texas in Miami this year. They really do look sharp, and I expect them to run the Table this year. Missouri was terribly overrated, just like last year, though, so its not as big of a statement game as all the talking heads would have us believe. I love how they all use "shootout" as a euphemism for "two teams with fuckall for a defense". Alabama with a healthy Cody would dominate the Horns. The trojans would be a worthy adversary, but I dread having to watch another USC/UT NC.
UGA vs Vandy
God, how I wish they were unbeaten before they showed up in Athens. This game went completely according to plan, even if the Dawgs didn't hang 28 or 35 on them, they were close, and it wasn't as close a game as the sports media seem to believe it was. I expect as considerably tougher Dawgs squad next week in Baton Rouge. Likewise, I expect to see some more quality wins from Vandy, who is definitely bowl bound this year.
USC vs WSU
I know that Carroll doesn't
go out of his way to run up the score, but he should really be trying harder. It just makes the trojans look untested, and feel unbeatable. That's what causes the humiliating losses like against Oregon State. What a curse-- to play in a conference so bad that being a one loss team is enough to keep them out of the NC. Maybe they should ease up on their recruiting, and kick some players down to UCLA.
I'm very pumped for the LSU / UGA and OSU / PSU games next week. :D
