Thoughts on Saturday's action...

- Someone must have told Oklahoma that they were playing in the Fiesta Bowl instead of the Red River Rivalry...The Sooners are athletically superior to Texas (not by much). They seemed to mail it in after going up 21-10. Texas proceeded to outscore the Sooners 35-14 after that. The Sooners typically "mail it in" at least a couple of times a year, but not usually against Texas. Surprising win for the Longhorns.

- Holy Oklahoma St! I'd never seen a defense put so much pressure on Chase Daniel compared to what happened tonight. Another contributing factor in Mizzou's defeat is their lack of defense. It had to rear it's ugly head at some point. It didn't help that Jeremy Maclin seems to be hurt as well.

- I thought Florida would beat LSU, but not that bad! Two major factors contributed to this: 1.) Florida has UNGODLY speed! It's not fair! I thought LSU was an equal in that dept. but it wasn't the case tonight. LSU has Trindon Holliday who's incredibly fast, but Florida has like 4 guys that are just as fast, if not faster! Percy Harvin, Jeffrey Demps, Brandon James and Chris Rainey. Having said that, I think Tebow is a little overrated...2.) The Gators defense showed up and completely shut down LSU's running game. Going in to tonight, the big concern for the Florida D was LSU rb Charles Scott. He was a non-factor. In fact, it was LSU's passing game that was able to get them any points!

- I am finally convinced that Penn St. is the best team in the Big 10. Huge blowout win against Wisconsin tonight! I can't believe Wisconsin has lost three in a row!

- Terrelle Pryor looked like a freshman today. He's too tentative in his zone reads. He tries to outrun everybody laterally instead of picking a spot and running.

- With Arkansas beating Auburn and Miss St. beating Vandy, I'm now thoroughly convinced that Tennessee is the worst team in the SEC this year. How could they not be? Now with that being said, I do like their new qb Nick Stephens ahead of Crompton. He doesn't make the bonehead mistakes that Crompton does and he's more accurate. The defense and special teams actually played good enough for the Vols to win today, but their offense is horrible!

- I'd like to see Wake Forest and North Carolina in the ACC championship this year!

- Texas Tech had better get some defense if they want to hang with the likes of Oklahoma, Oklahoma St. and Texas.

- Miss St. 17- Vandy 14. Welcome to the top of the SEC Commodores!

- BYU 21- New Mexico 3. Not impressed Cougars! They had better watch out for Boise St. and Utah stealing their BCS buster thunder!

- Welcome back to earth Northwestern...Minnesota got an impressive win today against Illinois!

- Holy Toledo! Michigan really sucks!
