CFB Saturday underway and the Florida Gators have secured a losing season for themselves…a new low for a team that was used to securing a place in the SEC title game and the National Championship game! The Gators lost to Georgia Southern today, 26 – 20…ouch! Meanwhile, Duke rallied at Wake Forest to win 28 – 21 and keep alive their hopes of winning the ACC Coastal Division and facing FSU in the title game in Charlotte. FSU is beating up on Idaho and Jameis Winston is playing like he is unaware of the sordid controversy surrounding him. 7 Clemson hammered the Citadel, 52 – 6 and bids farewell to QB Tajh Boyd and likely WR Sammy Watkins in their last home game at Death Valley. They will travel to Columbia, SC next weekend for their rivalry game with 11 South Carolina (who demolished Coastal Carolina today, 70 – 10). Georgia Tech used their first meeting with Alabama A & M at Grant Field as a tune up for next week’s “good old fashioned hate” rivalry with UGA, winning 66 – 7. David Sims (B-Back) rushed for 111 yards and led all GT rushers…about fifteen of them! UGA hosts Kentucky in Athens tonight. The battle is on the for Pac 12 North and so far, things are looking good for Stanford and not so good for Oregon. 9 Stanford leads California at the half, 35 – 10. Meanwhile 5 Oregon is trailing Arizona, 28 – 9 at the half. It is only halftime, so the Quack Attack still has time to get rolling! The Pac 12 South will go a long way towards settling things tonight when 17 Arizona State visits 14 UCLA. The Bruins will still have to play cross town rival USC in the final game of the season. One of these three teams will represent the Pac 12 South against either Stanford or Oregon (Pac 12 North).
The featured game this afternoon is taking place in Baton Rouge…22 LSU hosting 12 Texas A & M. At the half, the “Mad Hatter”, Les Miles and his Tigers have the upper hand, leading Johnny “Football” Manziel and the Aggies, 21 – 10. Tonight, 8 Missouri can wrap up the SEC East with a victory over 24 Ole Miss. This game is in Oxford, Mississippi and it should be a great one. The BIG game tonight is on ABC at 8:00 pm EST when 4 Baylor visits Stillwater, OK to take on 10 Oklahoma State. Baylor has not won in Stillwater since 1939! Pick ’em…but I am going with Baylor!
Also earlier today, 13 Michigan State secured a spot in the Big Ten championship game with a 30 – 6 trouncing of Northwestern. Meanwhile 1 Alabama had a walk in the park over Chattanooga, 49 – 0 and readies itself for a monster game next week at Auburn!
Until later…
More scores: 2 FSU 80, Idaho 14 (Really, 80 points?), Arizona takes down 5 Oregon, 42 – 16 (gee, disappointing for the Ducks), and Stanford is rolling over California appearing to be on their way to a Pac 12 North title, 63 – 13, now a final! 3 Ohio State had little trouble with Indiana, 42 – 14 but will it be enough if Baylor wins tonight? The Buckeyes do clinch a berth in the Big 10 title game against Michigan State! Manziel’s Heisman’s hopes taking a hit as the Aggies are on their way to falling to LSU, 34 – 10. (It is a final!) UGA up on Kentucky 14 – 0 in the first half! Stay tuned!
