OUT: Auburn, Wisconsin

Votes: Georgia Tech, Tulsa, Pittsburgh, Nebraska and Minnesota.

What a season, yes! First, we already have a significant ouster. No, unfortunately Barney Frank is still employed by Congress, but Tommy Bowden is out at Clemson. No doubt, the Tigers have apparently underperformed for years and this seasons opening versus Alabama was a disaster, but does it warrant an ouster at this point. I say no, and I think Clemson will rarely achieve the success they have had under Tommy. And that QB Harper, who was benched by Bowden and is now mouthing off, along with his Dad, in the aftermath of his firing. You looked horrendous in the games I watched.

I still think Missouri is a very good football team, but I underestimated how good Oklahoma State is even though I had them ranked higher in the preseason than any other poll I saw.....I have been wondering what happened to Florida on offense, but I found out, like LSU, that when they want to show up, they are unstoppable.....Boy, will Miami sleep on you when playing lesser opponents.....Georgia took another injury hit on the offensive line, and these injuries will begin to take a toll.....Michigan losses to MAC team Toledo, who Ball State lit up and shut out a week ago. I think Rodriguez is shady so I take pleasure in Michigan's demise.....No. Carolina beat Notre Dame, but lost their best player for the year......Nebraska finally showed up and played like the team I thought they could be, but still found a way to lose....OU vs. Texas was a great football game and I was surprised the 'Horns got it done.....Illinois and Wisconsin are in free fall, as is Auburn. Minnesota was just awful a year ago but now sits bowl eligible! Virginia is the odd ball team this year, getting killed by USC and Duke? and beating up Maryland and East Carolina, whose light has been turned off....TCU and BYU tangle this Friday night in what should be real fun....Missouri and Texas is the game of the week.
