Well, the AP Poll and the Coaches Poll are both out and there were winners and losers after this past weekend’s action in college football. Big losers…Baylor (thumped by OK State 42 – 10 and Oregon, losing 42 – 10 to Arizona!). Winners…Ohio State, Auburn and Clemson along with OK State and Stanford, perhaps South Carolina and Missouri. Missouri must defeat Texas A & M (losers to LSU yesterday) next weekend to clinch the SEC East.
AP Poll: 1 Alabama (56), 2 FSU (4), 3 Ohio State, 4 Auburn, 5 Missouri, 6 Clemson, 7 Oklahoma State, 8 Stanford, 9 Baylor and 10 South Carolina. Michigan State in at #11, Oregon falls to #12, Arizona State moves to #13, LSU is #15 and how about Duke, # 24!
Coaches Poll: 1 Alabama (56), 2 FSU (6), 3 Ohio State, 4 Clemson (really?), 5 Auburn, 6 Missouri, 7 Oklahoma State, 8 Baylor, 9 South Carolina, and 10 Stanford. Michigan State #11, Oregon #12, LSU #15, Arizona State only in at #18 (ouch, but clinches Pac 12 South with win over UCLA) and Duke at #24.
Baylor lost a golden opportunity to perhaps surpass Ohio State. Stanford will play Arizona State for the Pac 12 Championship. Clemson moves up to #4 in the Coaches poll…seems like perhaps the AP got it right with Auburn at #4. WOW, that Iron Bowl next Saturday at 3:30 pm EST is going to be special! Why did they not put in in primetime? I will be at GT – UGA game…same time! I am not happy!!!! P.S. Really a shame about UGA QB Aaron Murray and his torn ACL and thus he will need surgery. Likely done for the season but I will not miss seeing him on the field next weekend at Grant Field against the Jackets. Come on Tech…let’s get ‘er done and win against the Dawgs for once!! Is that possible? Well, we shall see! Meanwhile, FSU continues to roll (as does Duke…yes this is football, not basketball but they are rolling in basketball with Jabari Parker as well) but the whole sordid drama surrounding QB Jameis Winston continues. Will he be charged with sexual assault or not? Will the Florida DA office and the TPD ever get it together and make a decision? The saga continues and drags on and on…not good for the alleged victim and/or Mr. Winston. Moving on…BCS Poll out later tonight and a couple of real class acts take the field tonight in SNF. Mr. Tom Brady and the Patriots will host the one and only Mr. Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. The fourteenth meeting between these two players (Brady holds the edge). I am pulling for Peyton and the Broncos!! Be there or be square.
Now, time to catch up on a Hallmark Christmas chick flick I missed yesterday (Window Wonderland) keeping up with all the CFB action.
Until later…
