Not a good week for ranked teams. Not a good week for me.
Week 9 Record: 4-6
2010 Overall Record: 58-32 (64.4%)
Week 9 Stream of Consciousness: And I would have been right about FSU if it wasn't for QB Ponder fumbling away the ball at the NC State 4 yard line... No Blackmon (Okla. State WR) no problem. OSU put up almost 600 yards on hapless K-State... Iowa slammed Michigan State, leading 30-0 at halftime en route to a 37-6 victory for the Hawkeyes... Florida found it had an offense. And Georgia remembered it was the same team that lost to Colorado, and has no defense... What's worse than losing at home to UCLA and Iowa State? Losing to UCLA, Iowa State, and Baylor. Why do I keep doubting Texas opponents? UT may be the worst year-after-a-BCS-national-championship-appearance team in history... Oregon-USC went just as I expected. Lots of offense, lots of scoring. Oregon wins... How did Penn State score 41? Is Michigan's defense really that bad???... Auburn rolls. War Eagle!... East Carolina just got beat, no bones about it. Now UCF has a leg up on the CUSA-East race (and probably the conference championship).

Last week's record: 6-4
2010 Record: 54-26 (67.5%)
Thursday, October 28
#17 Florida State 30 @ #30 North Carolina State 24. The Wolfpack will hang around, but Florida State simply has more talent.
Saturday, October 30
#13 Oklahoma State 45 @ #27 Kansas State 28. Kansas State gave up almost 600 yards to Nebraska and almost 700 to Baylor. What will the cowboys put up?

Hindsight is 20/20 - Week 8
Week 8 Record: 6-4
2010 Record: 54-26 (67.5%)
Week 8 Stream of Consciousness: Oregon has scored 368 points in 480 minutes of football... Iowa State pulled off the shocker beating Texas, but should it have been so shocking? Apart from a (defensively-only) dismantling of Nebraska, the Horns have looked average at best this year... Called the spread! Wisconsin nudged Iowa by 1 due to the hard-nosed Badger running backs... Oklahoma State broke Nebraska's 21-or-less streak, but Nebraska QB Taylor Martinez broke the all-time Nebraska record for total offense by a freshman, with 435 yards, and became the first Husker QB to run for over 100 and pass for over 300 in a game... Baylor racked up the yards on the startlingly slow KSU D, passing for over 400 and rushing for almost 300 yards... Mizzou took it to the Sooners (who should have led by multiple TDs at the break), who wore down as the game went on. Next up, at Lincoln for all the Big 12 North marbles... Arizona QB Nick Foles out? No problem... Illinois put together its most complete game thus far. That loss to Missouri looks better and better now doesn't it?... Clemson got revenge for the twice-over beatings by GT last year. This year, there won't be a rematch in the ACCCG. And there was much rejoicing.

Week 8 Predictions
Week 7 Record: 6-4
2010 Record: 48-22 (68.6%)
Thursday, October 21
UCLA 20 @ Oregon 38
UCLA is reeling. Oregon should roll. Friday update: Oregon has scored 368 points in 7 games.
Saturday, October 23
Iowa State 13 @ Texas 31. Regardless of the score last week, Texas still doesn't have an offense (QB Gilbert was 4-16 for 62 yards against the 'Huskers). But Iowa State is reeling from back-to-back blowouts to Utah and Oklahoma.

Hindsight is 20/20 - Week 7
Week 7 Record: 6-4
2010 Overall Record: 48-22 (68.6%)
What a week to pick all the favorites. Jeez.
Week 7 Stream-of-Consciousness. KSU beat the Jayhawks by 52? Nebraska might beat Kansas by 100. Who would have thought that Michigan State would be the Big Ten's sole undefeated team halfway through the season? Missouri has quietly put together an undefeated record... Neb Coach Bo Pelini has a better record on the road than at home... Auburn has offense. Arkansas has offense. I take offense at the lack of defense.... Iowa didn't really slow Michigan's offense, but they did win.... What is Cal's deal this year? Oh wait, it's Cal.... What are the Florida faithful saying after a disastrous 4-3 start? Lee Corso picked them to go to the National Championship Game, hahahaha..... Without WR Rogers, Oregon State is toast. With Jake Locker, the Huskies are just sometimes toast.

Week 6 Record: 6-4
2010 Overall Record: 42-18 (70%)
Thursday, October 14
Kansas State 24 @ Kansas 13. Daniel Thomas, the Big 12's leading rusher of 2009, is eager to show his pathetic performance against Nebraska was a fluke in the Sunflower State Showdown with 2-3 Kansas.

Hindsight is 20/20 -Week 6
Week 6 Record: 6-4
2010 Overall Record: 42-18 (70%)
Week 6 Stream of Consciousness: Taylor Martinez is fast. I mean, really FAST. He made the entire KSU defense look like they had lead bricks in their shoes... Stephen Garcia is number 5 in the NCAA in pass efficiency? Hear that sound? That is the sound of the galloping horses of the apocalypse... A&M is bad. Why couldn't Arkansas capitalize? perhaps the "gulf" between the SEC and the rest of the country isn't as great as some thought... What has happened to Pitt???... Oregon State took it to Arizona, setting up a rematch of last year's "Civil War" for the (last) PAC-10 title... Upset? No. The Utes stuck it to Iowa State, scoring 68 (68!!!) on the Cyclones' defense, in Ames... Upset? Almost... I was so so close to getting this one (Kentucky over Auburn), but alas... It's official. Les Miles worships Satan. Spread the word... Wow Ohio State is good-they beat a Miami team in a hard-fought game... that just got pounded by the same FSU team that was destroyed by OU...

Week 6 Predictions
Week 5 Record: 7-3
2010 Record: 36-14 (72%)
Well, It could be worse, but it could be a lot better too. I have yet to go worse than 7-3, but also have not gone better than 8-2... Hoping it changes this week... for the better!
Thursday, October 7
Nebraska 31 @ Kansas State 16. Nebraska takes its number 4-nationally-ranked rush offense against the Big 12's worst rush defense (195.5 ypg). Uh-oh.

Hindsight is 20/20 -Week 5
Week 5 Record: 7-3
2010 Record: 36-14 (72%)
Week 5 Stream of Consciousness: Jerrod Johnson's killer stats were the reason the Aggies were close to pulling it out; his 5 turnovers were the reason they didn't... Denard Robinson is still a god, but Michigan's defense looks worse every week... Texas is in danger of having its first 3-loss streak under Mack Brown... Oklahoma could be simultaneously the best (vs FSU) and worst (vs Cinci and USU) team in the top 10... Michigan State's Rush Defense made a huge statement against Wisconsin. Next up, Mr. Robinson and the Wolverines... Is Jacory Harris a good, or terrible QB? Few remain who know... Iowa's defense bounced back... Penn State's offense is troubling... Bet Meyer wishes he did retire afterall: without Tebow, the Gators' offense is nothing... Locker had a nice bounce-back- against the worst pass defense in the PAC-10... Va Tech's season isn't over... yet...
