If I were a gambling man, I’d be broke. But I bet a lot of people lost money, seeing that 6 of the top 13 teams lost. Watching college football – good. Gambling on college football – bad. You already know who won and lost. I would consider it one of the best weekends ever. Florida, Oklahoma, Texas –all losers. But the celebrating and gloating is over.
Let’s look at what’s happening this weekend:
Florida @ LSU – Does anyone really think this game has lost its luster just because of Florida’s loss to Auburn? No, I didn’t think so. Sure Tim Tebow may have had to return his cape, but don’t think he’s not going to try to get it back.
Kentucky @ South Carolina – Is South Carolina for real? Is Kentucky for real? I know a lot of Gamecock fans who aren’t taking this game seriously. Big mistake. Big one.
Wisconsin @ Illinois – Two more teams trying to prove they are for real. In case you haven’t been paying attention, Ron Zook’s team is 4-1, with a win over Penn State. Wisconsin is also trying to play the “no one respects us” card.
Oklahoma @ Texas – This game HAS lost some luster. The Sooner lost to a Colorado team they had no business being close to, and the Longhorns loss was coming sooner or later. Still, it’s a grudge match and those are fun to watch…..sometimes.
West Virginia @ Syracuse – West Virginia’s motto, “Hey we’re still good without Pat White”. Syracuse’s motto, “We beat Louisville”. Boooooo-ring.
Virginia Tech @ Clemson – VT just hasn’t been VT this year. Clemson has been Clemson, meaning they start off well and then tank. Is this the week they start tanking?
Ohio State @ Perdue – Big Ten football. Yawn.
Georgia @ Tennessee – I could go on all day about this one. About how UT is desperate to prove they won’t repeat 2005. About how Georgia hasn’t lost in Neyland Stadium since 1999. About how UT laid 51 points on Georgia last year in Athens. About how Mark Richt resembles Bugs Bunny and Phil Fulmer resembles the Angry Bull. The Vols are 2.5 favorites, but for the life of me I can’t figure out why.
Other thoughts:
Does anyone think it’s funny that Florida safety and team captain Tony Joiner (last seen kissing Tim Tebow on the sidelines) was arrested for taking his girlfriend’s car from an impound at 4am? Is it even funnier that the owner of the impound, an admitted Gator fan, now says that the whole thing was a misunderstanding?

Nick Saban’s backhanded slam on South Florida’s academics is like Lou Holtz telling Rece Davis “I can’t understhtand you, you need to sthpeak more clearly”.
