My beloved alma mater taking it to Central Michigan in frigid Mt. Pleasant.

I feel like if Kellen Moore is getting some Heisman hype, then Case Keenum is just as deserving.

There can't be more than 250 people not in the band at the Ohio/CMU game. Gotta love MAC football on a weeknight!

OU turned out pretty nicely. To be fair the wind chill was in single digits and CMU is awful.
I hadn't heard about the death but I'm not surprised. Sadly there is little to do in Athens except get completely wasted on a regular basis.

Nice win, 7-3 on the season and in control of the MAC East. The Cats were 7-35-2 in my first five years at OU, and three of those wins (and a loss to Tressel's YSU team) were against I-AA.

I really hope TCU can find a way to beat Boise. Just for sh*ts and giggles.

yep....no way do they (at this time) deserve a shot at the big one.....however, a convincing win over TCU will definitely help the BSU cause.

Good showing by Gerogia against Auburn today. One-sided, but still very exciting for Georgia fans.

Thank you TCU

I had predicted that Georgia was going to win the East before the season started and was laughed at by some remembering that 6-7 team the season before.

The UG defense is very solid and offensively are starting to get a lot of consistency.

Just pray that OK State wins out so we don't get subjected to LSU/Bama II. That's pretty much the only way, aside from Arkansas beating LSU and then handling Georgia in the SEC title game. I don't think either will happen; OSU will lose one like they always do and Arkansas will not beat both LSU and Georgia. Or Auburn could beat Bama...maybe not.

I guess I'm the only LSU/Bama II advocate here. I think OK St. will blow it against OU and set up the matchup, unless UGA really has something for LSU in the SEC championship.

I know the first matchup wasn't terrific, but I want the two best teams in the nation playing for the national championship and I'm still sure that's LSU and Bama.

As a diehard LSU fan, I am worried about Arkansas ......they are playing really, really well.

Georgia has played much better since early September, but they are no match for Arkansas. JMO, but Arkanasas is a step better than UGA, but a step down from LSU/Bama

LSU is no lock for anything.

IMO, LSU's one big glaring flaw is how slow they will start out of the gate. If the defense ever has a bad game this could really haunt their chances to remain unbeaten.

Oklahoma St is on fire and looks to be on a quest. What will Oklahoma have to say about it though?
