Weekended!
The sports weekend concluded last night with a dud. This weekend for me was rather bittersweet. I won the college football picks and Stanford embarrassed a USC team that seems to have trouble with high-powered rushing offenses, but my Broncos lost their third straight and we are on the path to self-destruction. Other than that it was a fairly interesting weekend.
We will start with the NFL. The talk of the town is whether or not Bill Belicheck made a mistake going for it on 4th and 2 on his own 28. The Patriots and the Colts were playing each other on Sunday night and the game was close. With the clock winding down in the fourth quarter the Patriots had the ball on their own 20 and the lead. On fourth down and two Bill Belicheck decided to go for it, knowing that if he kept the ball rather than punting it away they could run out the clock. The problem with the theory is that the offense couldn't get the first down giving the Colts a short field to score the go ahead touchdown. Belicheck's decision has been highly criticized, but I believe it was a good one. The Patriots convert 4th and short 75% of the time, a much higher percentage than they stop the Colts offense. I hate Bill Belicheck but he is a great coach and made the right decision. In other NFL news my Broncos and Cowboys lost and the Browns are absolutely awful. In fantasy news, I am losing again.
College football is starting to shape up. I really think that TCU is the most complete team in the country. They are strong on defense, diverse on offense, and sound on special teams. They may not be the most talented team, but I believe they can match up with anyone in the country. I have thought all season that Cincinnati was the shakiest of the underdog teams but they have continued to prove me wrong. USC got out muscled again by a physical running team. Proving that this is truly a rebuilding year for the Trojans. In the picks this week, I went 9-1 taking me to 72-40 overall. John came in a close second going 8-2 and closing the gap at 69-43. Jess went 5-5 and Lys went 4-6 taking them to 56-44 and 57-55 overall respectively. Florida has finished it's tough schedule and should cruise to the SEC championship, where they will face Alabama. Alabama still has to play Ole Miss but they will should be fine. Pitt still has a tough road to ahead if they want to take the Big East from Cincinnati, the Panthers have Wet Virginia and the Bearcats left on the schedule. Also Boise State might get overlooked for a BCS bowl this year. Despite their high ranking and undefeated record, they can only get an at-large bid if TCU is still undefeated at the end of the year. College football still has a ton of drama left. Now for the BUS top 25:
