So: Ohio State pulls there asses out of Purdue intact. Barely. But then, the mark of a really good team is the ability to get things going when you really have to.
And gee, wasn't Northwestern supposed to have a good offense? <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" /> 65-10, Iowa. I suppose getting a single TD against a defense like that before they've figured your offense out is as good as they can ask for. And the Iowa offense ownz.
With the OSU win, Iowa has almost no chance of smelling roses this year, even if they roll over Minnesota, but it's so nice to have the home team come out of nowhere to kick butt like this.
what I wanna know is what the f happened to Iowa State and more importantly Seneca Wallace? I kinda predicted K-State would take them out, but not the shalackin they put on the Cyclones! Man..
Penn State was amazing. Ohio State was good enough. The Sooners luck finally ran out. Fact is, unless you are Miami last year, you don't go undefeated without some luck. Miami got by Florida state, Ohio State got by Penn State without an offensive touchdown, which I still think was way luckier than the Purdue win. If Penn State hadn't been robbed by the officials , in two different games, and I mean robbed, they'd be a BCS team. That call against Michigan was just so bad, it has to go down in my memory as the worst bad call I've ever seen. And with Penn State's field goal kicker being as good as he is, it almost certainly cost them the game. I hope they get a fair shake next year. But personally, I think the player of the week is that freshman quaterback from Texas A&M who helped them take down OU. That guy was amazing. The guy isn't even growing facial hair yet. What's he going to be like in 3 years? As for Iowa, Northwestern sucks so bad, beating them by 100 wouldn't win you browny points, but I'm willing to vote for Banks for the Heisman, he's better than anyone else that's up for it this year.

I think it comes back to the (lack of an) ISU running game-backs and line. Against the great defenses you can't be one-dimensional. It was just like against Oklahoma-the the other team gets up by a couple scores, realizes it's gonna be all Seneca, and the rout is on.
He's good enough to pull it off against a good defense, but not a K-State type. Their D is still in the top 5 in the nation.
I feel bad for ISU, but this was still one of the most amazing weeks of games I've ever seen!
Fun, fun, fun!
And since I'm addressing TigerWoods:
You told us so!
I feel kinda bad for the vocal Va. Tech fans on the boards, they've got some explaining to do!
I'll hug you, Running, in a manly, back-slapping sort of way, of course! <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" /> I was hoping OU would show the XII's dominance in Tempe.

reggie mcneal. yeah, he started the season terrible. that first touchdown bomb was first good throw he's made since the first game of the season. the problem was that he was so overhyped and too much pressure was put on him that he was making stupid mistakes every time he got a chance. the fans here would chant his name before he ever even proved anything. well today, he proved himself, and i'm proud to admit that i was one of the 84k aggies chanting his name in kyle field. btw, you've never been to a college football game til you've experienced football here. it's amazing...
the electricity is second to none. especially after a win.
oh yeah, and i suppose RC gets to keep his job for another week...

Sadly enough for Mr. Reggie McNeal, that was his moment in the sun. He's going to be worse in three years, that's what Texas A&M does to super quarterbacks. They shine bright early on and then fade into nothing as all their potential is coached right out of them.
He played a fantastic game, though, and I hope for his sake the RC Slocum/Quarterback curse doesn't hit him.
I will be shocked if that Ohio State team beats Michigan. I won't be surprised at all if they lose their last two playing such crap football.
ND drops a game to an unranked team, they drop 6 spots. OU drops a game to a friggin' unranked team, they drop 3 spots. What bullshit, fucking Sooners.
Ohio State has Michigan at home, where they beat Washington State, Texas Tech, Penn State, all their big wins. Their road wins have all been scary. Illinois buried Wisconsin last week and seems to be peaking. So before we start worrying about Michigan, there's the game at Illinois. Neither of these games is going to be easy. I keep thinking the Bucks will play a good away game sometime. Next week is their last chance. However if they get to Miami in Tempe, it'll be a good game. They've stuffed every hot running back they've played this year, and they've faced some of the best. And their secondary when Gamble is back there has two legitimate all-americans and the rest of the guys can really hit. Miami gets all the press and we like it that way. But the best team they've played this year is 7-3. How does anyone know how good they are? I don't think they could survive a big 10 schedule undefeated. But then, maybe OSU won't either.
I'm confident if OSU plays Miami they'll win. Miami doesn't have a team on it's schedule with a defense like OSU's. OSU has played any number of high powered offenses like Miami's. I was actually thinking I would rather play Miami than Oklahoma. So far, I seem to be getting what I want. But hey, Illinois and Michigan coming. It's college football, and anything can happen. Right now my worst fear if OSU wins out is that Miami loses and we have to play Oklahoma or Texas. Teams from leagues that have parity are used to playing our kind of game the kind of game you have to play to beat OSU. If Miami plays us, I'm thinking we could get as many as four picks and a couple of fumbles as well. Plus we hold them to under 100 yards on the ground. You heard it here first.

Not ISU, though.
Still a gap between them and the elite.

I want to know who will replace Larry Johnson next year for Penn State. He has 1500 yards rushing and the season still isn't over!

Heisman candidates at QB and RB?
Was that Kent State?
Not that I don't think the Bucks couldn't beat Miami, that just struck me funny!

Maybe, MAYBE if you had played them at their house. And maybe, just MAYBE if you had played them later in the OOC run. Even then it's not a big game.
