Our Thoughts
Brian – With Texas out of the race and the top 5 or 6 teams behind tOSU being interchangeable, I was strangely bored by the Ohio State vs. Michigan game Saturday afternoon. If someone upsets the Buckeyes in January we could be looking at a split national title with one of the one-loss teams who didn’t make it in. The most interesting story for Texas fans to follow may be whether Boise State finishes off their schedule without any blemishes and earns a spot in the Fiest Bowl against the Longhorns.
Matt – Not really too much movement in my poll this week, with Rutgers and Wake Forest as the only real big drops. Do people really want to see a repeat of Ohio St/Michigan? I sure don’t. Hopefully Florida or USC will take care of business in their remaining games. And too bad Notre Dame got waxed by Michigan. If that game was actually close, Notre Dame would be sitting in a much better position.

60 days in jail and able to serve the time on weekends.
Not sure about it for the rest of Texas or our out of state readers, but the Tennessee Titans game against the Philadelphia Eagles is airing on CBS here in Dallas right now. It’s only my second chance to see [tag]Vince Young[/tag] and his Longhorn teammates this season, his tough debut against the Cowboys being the other. The Titans are wearing their extra ugly alternate uniforms featuring baby blue pants just for us. Too bad it’s not in HD.
On Fox, the Chicago Bears are playing so if you’d rather watch Nathan Vasher and Cedric Benson you can. It’s great to be able to see so many former Longhorns all over the NFL.

The guy thought OU lost to Texas Tech and moved them down.
Texas gets a bye week at a much needed time for them, since Colt McCoy is still recovering from the stinger he suffered against Kansas St. There is some big action this week as #1 Ohio State hosts #2 Michigan, in what should be one of the biggest games of the year. As a college football fan you have to love these match-ups, and I am sure most of you will be tuned in to ABC at 3:30 PM ET on Saturday.
Some interesting games in the Big 12 this weekend. Will A&M’s biggest rival Baylor pull the upset on OU? Will Kansas St have a letdown game against Kansas. We will see.
Here’s our picks for the games this weekend:
| Brian Last week: 8 – 5 YTD: 100 – 34 |
Matt Last week: 10 – 3 YTD: 117 – 17 |
|
|---|---|---|
| W Carolina @ (3) Florida | Florida | Florida |
| (21) Maryland @ (20) B.C. | B.C. | Maryland |
| Army @ (6) Notre Dame | Notre Dame | Notre Dame |
| (5) Arkansas @ Miss St | Arkansas | Arkansas |
| (2) Michigan @ (1) Ohio St | Ohio St | Ohio St |
| (19) Va Tech @ (14) Wake Forest | Va Tech | Wake Forest |
| South Florida @ (10) Louisville | Louisville | Louisville |
| (7) Rutgers @ Cincinnati | Rutgers | Cincinnati |
| Ole Miss @ (9) LSU | LSU | LSU |
| (17) Cal @ (4) USC | USC | USC |
| (16) Oklahoma @ Baylor | Oklahoma | Oklahoma |
| Missouri @ Iowa St | Missouri | Missouri |
| Oklahoma St @ Texas Tech | Oklahoma St | Texas Tech |
| Kansas St @ Kansas | Kansas St | Kansas St |

Our Thoughts
Brian – I moved Colt McCoy down a spot since he didn’t play much Saturday, even though I think we all saw the big difference in the Texas offense when he’s not in there. Troy Smith and Brady Quinn will each have their opportunities over the next two weeks to state their claim over the trophy. If Ohio State beats Michigan this Saturday and Smith plays well the award is likely his, but if he leaves the door open at all Quinn will have a shot against USC next week to make a statement. Not nearly as interesting a race as last year.
Matt – Darren McFadden continues to have big games when their team needs it the most. In games against Auburn, South Carolina, and Tennesse this year, he has accumulated 512 yards rushing and 5 touchdowns. Troy Smith will lock up the Heisman this weekend if he has a decent performance against Michigan. I moved Colt down to the #5 spot, mainly because he didn’t play and he is questionable to return.

Just a reminder (if you don’t check the BevoSports Longhorn calendar daily) that the men’s basketball team will be facing off against the Michigan State Spartans on ESPN2 tonight at 8pm Central. Since my cable sucks and I don’t get ESPNU it’ll be my first chance to see the Horns in action this season. Should be interesting to see what Kevin Durant, Damion James, and DJ Augustin can do against their stiffest competition so far.
