Continued from Part I...
--I guess West Virginia wasn’t worthy of Fab Five consideration after all. After an ugly, UGLY loss to South Florida, the Mountaineers find themselves on the outside looking it. I was shocked at how the Bulls shut down the ‘Neers run game, especially Devine. I was more surprised at the number of fumbles (TEN, with three lost) – especially by Slaton who all but ended his Heisman chances with a dismal performance. As with Oklahoma, I expect the Mountaineers to be heavily tested the rest of the season, especially in contests with Cincinnati and Rutgers; and just because Louisville is down right now, you can't count them out either...
--The Fighting Illini are serious… just ask a reeling Penn State. The 4-1 Illini’s only loss came in a highly fought 34 – 40 contest with also unbeaten and ranked Missouri. I think their victory over the Nittany Lions deserves praise, and I’ll seriously consider them when I make my rankings for Week Six…
--As for Penn State, wasn’t it just 2 weeks ago (pre-Michigan) when they were being dubbed as a serious Big Ten contender (since Wisconsin and Ohio State pays them a visit). Now, they’re 0 – 2 and could be in for a long season. My how things change…
--Miami went into the fourth quarter, with a 10-7 lead over Duke at home. That is either a sign of the Blue Devil’s progress, or a sign of how dismal the ACC really is. I’d like to go for the latter on that one…
--I finally got one right. After watching Indiana roll Iowa at home, I again wonder why Kirk Ferentz makes so much money. Geez…
--As soon as I praise Boston College, they come out and look rather unimpressive against I-AA Massachusetts. I don’t care if UMass is #2 in their division of football, I would have like to seen more out of the Eagles…
--For the 5th week this season, Virginia Tech
