More College Football Ramblings...

TCU is getting their heads handed to them in the second half by Texas. It's now 27-10 in the 4th quarter. TCU's defense put up a great effort in the first half, and the Frogs led 10-0 at the half. But, the Frog defense was on the field way too long in the 3rd quarter, and wore down. Texas has benefited from some questionable calls and Horned Frog turnovers. Texas looks like they'll be undefeated when they meet OU on October 6.

I tried to get too cute on picks this week. Another school making me look like a big dope is Virginia Tech. LSU is taking them to the cleaners, as it is 24-0 early in the 2nd quarter. LSU is the real deal. This also happens to be the year that the Sugar Bowl hosts the BCS national championship game, just down the road from Baton Rouge. The last national championship game held in New Orleans was won by LSU.

South Carolina got a huge SEC win, winning at Georgia 16-12. That will help them later in the year. The 'Cocks remain in the hunt for an SEC East championship.

Iowa State is another school that made me look foolish. I had a feeling Northern Iowa might have a better team, but I gave ISU of the Big 12 the benefit of the doubt. I was wrong, as UNI handled ISU, 24-13.

Food for thought: Michigan has now lost four games in a row. The Wolverines have not won a game since the death of Bo Schembechler last November.

More later...
