Food for Thought, College Football Fans

As of today, none of the five undefeated Division (formerly known as) I-A teams have a victory against a school in the BCS standings.

Ohio state plays two top 25 teams in their last four, Penn State this week, and Michigan in their last game. If anyone has followed the OSU/Michigan game, they know it can always go either way.

Boston College plays #8 Virginia Tech tonight; their remaining Big East schedule is not going to be a slouch either, with games against Clemson and Miami remaining.

Arizona State is almost sure to go down sometime in the next six weeks. They have games against Cal, USC, UCLA, and Oregon still left. If they can manage to defeat all of the major powers in the PAC 10 over the next month, I'll be severely impressed.

Kansas could actually pull off an unbeaten regular season, I think. Their toughest games will be this week against aTm, and the end of the season against Missouri. Of course, they'd eventually lose to us in the Big 12 championship. Naturally.

Hawaii could too, if they don't screw it up. Being in the WAC, they play a bunch of crappy teams, and Boise State, who they get at home. The question is: do they screw it up?

Will anybody run the table this year? If we're being honest, I'd have to say probably not. Ohio State has the best chance, but I really think they're going to get knocked off. Of course, who's to say, really? College football this year is CRAZY! Who knows what's going to happen?

I have to say, this season has been one of the best I've ever seen. And although I'm not the biggest fan of OU, their games have been extremely exciting. What are your thoughts about Kentucky? How far do you think they'll go?

Okay, so I follow what you're saying... individually. However, when you put it all together, it just turns into the muted trombone sound like Charlie Brown's teachers. Hmmm... I guess I'll just enjoy the pummeling, and let you keep track of stats and that sort of thing.

A week ago, I would have said that though they seem streaky, they could surprise a lot of people (more than they already have, that is). With their loss this past weekend, I'd say that unless Florida, LSU, and Auburn all take dives, they're probably looking at an upper-tier, non-BCS bowl. I'm not sure what that means for an SEC team though...maybe Cotton bowl, or whatever the Peach Bowl is now? I'm not sure.
