It was quite an interesting and entertaining college football weekend. The Ducks flew south to Tucson but decided not to come back. Playing uninspired football, Oregon was soundly defeated by the Arizona Wildcats. Realization of a non title game appearance set in on the Ducks' mindset. I guess a possible appearance in the Rose Bowl wasn't enough incentive. Pity.
The real Baylor Bears showed up in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Pistol Pete got his shotgun out, and these Bears made for easy target practice. For the first nine games on the schedule, Baylor won all of their games by a wide margin. I gave some credit for their win over Oklahoma, but aside from the Sooners, the schedule for Baylor has been mostly pastry. To borrow from a sign I saw on college game day, "Sucks to B U."
Florida State scored 80 in a victory over a tough Idaho squad. Sorry, I couldn't make it through that sentence without a chuckle. People, it was IDAHO. The Seminoles must have needed a break from their grueling ACC schedule. Coming up next is a watered down Florida Gators roster, whom were just Muschamped by Georgia Southern. I may have just coined a new phrase; whenever a Division 1 school loses to a Division 2 school, it will be known as Muschamped. After the win over the Gators will be the ACC championship game, possibly against Duke. Okay, I'm laughing again. The conference championship game opponent might be DUKE! And Ohio State plays the easy schedule.
Speaking of the Buckeyes, it was a relatively easy 42 - 14 victory over the Indiana Hoosiers. Honestly, I was expecting more from the Indiana offense. Or, has Ohio State finally figured out how to play defense? We will find out this weekend. Memo to Urban Meyer: Ohio State has to play Michigan before the Big 10 championship game. The most dangerous type of animal is a wounded animal, and the Wolverines are hurting. Other than The Game, the only item left for Michigan is an invitation to the Kraft Macaroni & Cheese Bowl, so I am certain that a win over Ohio State, ending the Buckeyes current winning streak and possible NCAA championship game appearance would set aside all the disappointments up to this point.
