College Football: Week 7

Once again, my Gamecocks are in the Top 25!


Now, please, I’m BEGGIN’ ya, don’t mess up over the next few weeks! Even though we only need 1 more win to become Bowl Elligible, we want to go to a GOOD bowl game. A National Championship would be nice, but that would be asking for too much in such a short time. Baby steps, baby steps, baby steps.

We have a big game this weekend against Alabama. While I’m hoping that somehow Coach Spurrier and Co. will pull off an amazing win, the logical side of me is not all that enthusiastic. Nevertheless, I will be cheering for my Gamecocks during the game as I frantically check the scores on my cell phone during the Baby Shower I’m attending this coming Saturday. 

College Football: Week 4

The Week 4 RankingWeek 4 Rankings are out.  Nothing really surprising, though. 

I've always found it interesting how the AP and USA Polls both claim to be the top 25 in the nation, yet are always different.  I know that most of the polls are based on coach's recommendations, "difficulty of season," etc., but whatever happened to good ol' win/loss/tie records? (BTW: If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm not a fan of coaches' polls or the BCS system.  I'm all for playoffs in College football, especially for the chance to see SC State, a semi-powerhouse in the MEAC, will do against an SEC powerhouse like Georgia or Alabama.  I'm kinda tired of seeing the same old schools in the BCS bowls at the end of the season).
