Quick Hits

Boise handled Oregon State last night and will remain 3rd in the country. But do they deserve to play for a national championship? In my mind they do not. If you matched this team up against the 2 teams ahead of them, the argument could easily be made that those contests would not be close.

Once again Alabama demonstrated why they are the number 1 team in the country. They came back against a good Arkansas team, and forced Ryan Mallet to toss 3 picks. Here is where things will start to get interesting for the Tide as they get into the meat of there SEC schedule.

Auburn also prevailed when being down 2 scores. They came back against a very well coached South Carolina team. Cam Newton is starting to flourish and is really looking impressive.

LSU continues to struggle in the second half. A field goal in the 4th quarter were their only points of the second half in 20 14 win over West Virginia. Granted the defense is very speedy and athletic. They do their part, but the offense is doing theirs. Les Miles needs to figure out a way to get the offense going.

What happened to Texas? Not only losing to UCLA, but getting beat soundly. 34 12. UCLA got beat 35  0 at the hands of Stanford. Mack Brown and Will Muschamp have less then a week to turn this team around or else the Texas Longhorns are not going to have the Red River RIvalry they hoped for.-Josh Neighbors
