Super Saturday

Compared to opening weekend last year the Top Ten were stellar.



Mr. Mandel you are my hero of the day. "There's a bit of a growing backlash for the amount of teams that open with I-AA cupcakes," said Mandel, whose book "Bowls, Polls and Tattered Souls" chronicles college football's controversies. "To see a team [USC] go on the road and play a New Year's Day bowl team from last season, and not only play them but destroy them, how could you not reward that team?"


I am SO proud of USC and the way they played.


But not only USC.

Kudos to the other teams. With huge victories. OU, USC, UF, Mizzou, and Texas (among others)- with 50 plus points and to Georgia, OSU, LSU, and Texas Tech (among others) with 40 plus point victories.

Most of all, one of the rare times I will ever congratulate UCLA. Thank you for being the first of TWO pac-10 teams to beat an SEC team this season. If I had an iPhone I would be blogging LIVE from the ASU/UGA game, but sadly I will post pictures after the game.

Would I have ranked the Top 10 like my friends at the AP? More than likely yes.

See you next week when it will be a very boring football Saturday. No exciting games :(

USC and the Pac 10 combine their powers to make one giant suck fest. Honestly, you can't even judge if USC is good every year because they play no one other than Pac 10 teams. Yes, this year they are playing OSU, but OSU has shown 2 years in a row that they are very over rated and can't win outside of the mediocre Big 10. SEC is where it is at! If USC can handle Stanford this year they might actually have to play a SEC team. Then we'll finally see who the real #1 team is.

Hey. I am game to see USC play an SEC school. That is what I want. It will prove to all the haters that they are a legit football team.

At least every school USC plays can qualify for a BCS bowl game...

Many of the SEC schools plays each other- YES, but there are quite a few of those schools that play out of conference teams (i.e FCS schools) so at least respect USC for that.

Well, let's see here, the Pac 10 and the SEC are 1-1 this year. Yeah, the Pac 10 sucks this year, but hey, we'll see who's the best in the BCS championship, unless of course the SEC teams all cancel each other out like usual and we get stuck watching USC crush OU again.

That wouldn't be fun.
