HECK no, I love and adore Tedford. I don’t even boo Riley! But I’ve been at this a long time and I know when a season looks hopeless. The season is half over and there are no more Colorados to kick around (except Wash St.) If it rains, the home field advantage over Ariz St will be a wash, and we are coming off a humiliating loss.
I’ll be happy to be wrong though…
Don’t get too fired up. If Illinois had anything resembling a competent QB you’d have been in trouble in that game. The Illini defense is no joke and they run the ball well, but if they play like that against more well rounded teams you could be in deep trouble.
Love the downers, here! My team is doing fantastically well at this point in the season. We’ve won one more game than I thought we would at this point and we’re winning the weird tough games that we lost last year. 11-1 is an actual possibility (although I still think 10-2 is more likely). Go 'Noles!
I just got back from the SC/Cal game. I went to the bathroom 2 times and missed 40+ points being scored. And I pee fast!
I’m not kidding.
To answer the question posed in the OP: crappy
(Florida)
Really though, it was somewhat inevitable. Take the fact that Urban focused your entire game plan around Tebow, but then didn’t have Tebow Jr. to take over and add in some serious motivation for payback and this was gonna happen someday. Add in some key injuries on the o-line and someday just came a little sooner than I (and obviously most pollsters, Florida fans, etc) expected. With that said though, I’m starting to wonder if Addazio isn’t Urban’s version of Jeff Bowden.
And EVEN WITH ALL THAT, you guys are the 2 in my 10-2 prediction above…
On the other hand, in the past 6 years the only teams to have beaten Cal at home are USC and OSU, neither of whom are on the home schedule. (I fear Oregon is going to end the streak, though)
Gatopescado…how nice for you.
I am going to enjoy Wisconsin’s victory over Ohio State all week. I’m not going to think about the very large chance that the Badgers will fall flat on their face in Iowa.
Iowa has a way of destroying Badger dreams.
I am glad I’m not a fan of Purdue. Ohio State is gonna be locked and loaded this week.
Badgers 31 Iowa 30!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!
What a great game!
I am so happy to be wrong (because I wasn’t sure we could beat Iowa in Iowa City.)!
Is it my imagination, or are more players losing their helmets during a tackle or a block this year?
Notre dame gets their butts kicked by Notre Dame. Are they even relevant in college football anymore?
I started noticing that last year. Definitely not your imagination.
That should have said:
#11 Missouri 36 #1 Oklahoma 27 — 2:24 to play. Barring a football miracle, the #1 team in the country goes down for the 3rd week in a row!
What a fun college football season!
Boise and TCU are loving it all.
There were 10 undefeated teams going into today. Three went down.
I’ve been saying all year that Oklahoma was overrated. They finally proved it.
Remember the old days when Notre Dame and Navy played thrilling, down-to-the-wire games? It’s a shame the old Catholic institution can’t keep up with the recruiting capabilities of the service academies anymore.
Oh, and ON WISCONSIN. Bret Bielema just earned himself an extension this weekend. And I might just be okay with that.
Two of the undefeated teams were guaranteed to lose on Saturday.
Michigan escaped by the skin of their teeth yesterday.
You mean the Notre Dame/Navy series in which Notre Dame won 43 straight games, at an average margin of victory of 24 points? 
I thought Lou Holtz was going to cry yesterday.
