My oh my , oh my. What a dramatic turn of events this past weekend in College Football. Told 'ya it was gonna get good.
1st - Congrats to the Ohio State Buckeyes. It wasn't the prettiest, but it sure as hell was exciting.
2nd - Congrats to Brady Hoke and his Michigan Wolverines (I can say that now, rivalry week is over) on such a fine performance. Coach Hoke did a superb job in prepping his boys for this bitter hard fought rivalry. Coach Hoke, I agree with you whole heartedly about going for the 2 pt. conversion at the end of the game. It was a gutsy as hell call, but it could have very well worked in your favor had you succeeded. You had the Bucks on the ropes, you could have been up by 1 pt., OSU would have had only had 31 seconds to play with and with no time outs remaining. It very , very well could have went the other way. Keep your heads up Michigan, you've nothing to be ashamed of.
3rd - Ashamed ... I'm very ashamed of Marcus Halls obscene gesture towards the Michigan crowd, after he was tossed out. Grow up Marcus, you've lost some points with me because of your shenanigans. Rivalry games are hard fought and bittersweet, fun and games are fun and games, but there is no room for this kind of thing at this level. I hope Coach Meyer has a field day on your ass when you get back to Columbus.
4th - Congrats Auburn ..... WOOOOOOT !!!
So, here's how I see the top 5 rankings falling this week ..... just my opinion.
1. FSU
2. Ohio State
3. Auburn
4. Alabama
5. Mizzou
1&2 , just for the sake of running the table. Next weeks rankings will be the big ones, the whole enchilada.
Pending on how well teams play in their respectful divisional playoff game, there could be a huge shuffling taking place here. Just have to wait and see.
Congrats to this weeks winners and to those who get to advance into Divisional Playoff games. We are still not done here, far from it. Things are still going to get interesting.
Good luck to your team(s) this coming weekend (if you are in the running).
