Arkansas gave quite the effort and led much of the way, but fell to a power Alabama rushing attack in the end.....Stanford looks quite impressive, and the game versus Oregon this weekend is must see TV......Time for the Red River Rivalry at the Texas State Fair, and apparently the Horns were looking forward to it, letting UCLA punk them in Austin.....Nevada is looking good also, and given Arizona barely beared down enough to beat Cal, the pummelling Nevada gave the Bears is eye opening......Florida played a good game finally, and they needed to as they travel to Tuscaloosa this weekend....Georgia is in freefall, what with a new defensive coordinator and a youthful offense whose best player is suspended, until this week....NC State is sering notice behind a sound defense and quarterback Russell Wilson.....I am happy to see three players returning from various injuries this year:

Robert Girffith III, Baylor
Nate Irving, NC State
Mark Herzlich, Boston College

BC tangles with Notre Dame this weekend; someone has to win....Auburn is moving along, and has an easy schedule, as does Nebraska....We are fixin to find out who is who in the Big Ten, and we may need glasses......More so than any years recently, odds favor FSU-Mia in ACC Title game, but why wait, they collide next weekend in South Florida.

The crowd at Florida State for the Wake Forest game was the smallest in 18 years and the smallest percentage capacity of Doak Campbell since 1976. I was there, and it was embarrassing. Everyone wants to blame the program, but it is the economy, hooked together with two night minimums on most hotels in the area. I keep hearing it is Bowden, or the way he was treated, the average performance of the team or Jimbo Fisher. Miami has few fans, and you can mow your yard in the morning and go to Gainesville from Tampa, Jacksonville and Orlando and get back home at a reasonable hour. No such luck in Tallahassee. I call like I see it, and the culprit is the same DC jackasses that through idiotic economic policy have the Florida unemployment rate at over 11%. I aim to take several out via the ballot on November 2, but will have to wait until 2012 to take out the global wealth transformer in chief at the voting booth.
