Right when we thought this
past Saturday’s games would be boring, it turned out to be fun after
all.
Alabama finally rolled after looking pedestrian in the first half to
win 38-10 over a feisty Western Kentucky Team who may end up winning their
conference. However, Ole Miss is up next.
Auburn looked good in their win
against Nobody-U. Up Next is conference play.
And right when I thought
Auburn’s defense was legit, I’m now wondering if it is a product of Clemson’s
offense. Before you get grumpy, let me explain. Auburn’s defense played lights
out against Clemson’s offense and then Clemson barely got by Troy 30-24.
Clemson’s offense rolled up only 414 total yards against Troy. TROY!!!! Not to
mention, Clemson’s defense gave up 386 yards. In fact Troy outrushed the Tigers
in that game. Maybe, just Maybe Clemson doesn’t have the machine rolling just
yet.
There were some last minute finishes between Penn State@ Pitt,
Arkansas@ TCU, BYU@ Utah, and Texas Tech @ Arizona State which had implications
on our Pick’ems contest. Each game came down to the wire.
Maybe it was
just me, but I didn’t get excited about the Tennessee Virginia Tech match-up. I
was more interested in the Arkansas TCU game. But hey, the SEC won two big out
of conference games. And the B1G conference has played nobody yet. That all
changes this week as Ohio State takes on the Oklahoma. If Oklahoma loses that
one, it would be a hard sell to get into the 4 team playoff.
Rest In
Peace Oklahoma State… Yes you were robbed at the end by bad officiating. But
here’s the thing, never EVER put yourself in that position if you are the better
team.
Michigan still got excited about Michigan blowing out a winless UCF
squad which has dropped 14 straight games.
Moving on to our Pick’ems
contest…..
Well, that didn’t take long. Megan and Wendi have shuffled to
the bottom where they will stay for the remainder of the season. So that locks
up 7th and 8th place. The only thing we have to figure out now is who takes 1st
through 6th?
All of a sudden Mom is playing lights out hitting the most
points in week 2 with 41. It’s almost like she needs the money or something.
Maybe after getting into that little fender bender, this $80 will help pay for
repairs.
Cindie and I are tied in the top spot at 83 points each but Mom,
Teddy, and Kim are not far behind.
Mike is in recovery mode still from
the 1st week and for now has dug his way out of the bottom into 6th place.
However, it’s still really early. The trick is to not fall behind too
far.
