LSU Tigers Chomped: NCAA Football Week 6 Thoughts

A few points from this weekend:

Gators Chomped.

After choking out LSU all over Death Valley on Saturday night, Florida look unstoppable en route to an SEC Championship in a 13-3 victory.

No one will compete with them in the SEC East and with only Alabama to face in the SEC Championship—and 'Bama still having to play LSU—Florida may have cemented their spot in the BCS National Championship game.

They'd have to royally screw up, anyway.

And Tim Tebow's lucky not to have gotten a concussion last night—the hits were monstrous. You hope he'll continue keeping his head out of trouble for the rest of the year. You can't "hope" a guy's career gets wrecked.

Rammer Jammer!

The Crimson Tide's execution may have been horrific against Ole Miss—they could have set up a camp in the Rebels' red zone—but the defense was opportunistic and defiant. While helped by Jevan Snead melting under the pressure Saturday, these guys should beat LSU at home.

Bring Out the Lion!

All reports said the Penn State halftime show rocked and was more exciting than their 52-3 beating of Eastern Illinois. I'm pretty happy about the performance, even if it was against a Division I-AA team.

No defense of Georgia....

You might think that I meant to write "no defense AT Georgia," but I'm not going to defend the Bulldogs this week.

They were absolutely woeful, failing to stop Tennessee's rush and making Jonathan Crompton (who, let's face it, is the 2010 version of a bad Casey Clausen) look like Peyton Manning. (Thanks for the quote, Twitter.)

Rumors in Athens circulated that Willie Martinez is going to be given his marching orders at the end of the season. They will be louder after allowing 49 points in this embarrassment.

A quick point about Lane Kiffin and the fact he can't win (or lose) with class:

Shut up, Lane. Just shut up.

...But we'll defend Bobby.

Bobby Bowden has a right to leave when he wants.

Seminoles fans, quiet down. It's not like he does anything on the sideline anyway.

This week, the Seminoles came out holding each other and it was hard not to have a lump in your throat. Florida State lost to Georgia Tech in an incredibly entertaining 49-44 game.

Say it ain't so, Colt, say it ain't so.

If you want a team that managed to score 38 points by playing dreadfully, it's Texas.

We saw the game until it went to 31-14. It was all about Texas' special teams, which included "Jonathan" Shipley's touchdown (I wish I was joking, but Erin Andrews got Jordan's name wrong last night), a blocked punt that also went for a score and a pick-six.

Colt McCoy threw for two touchdowns, but my feeling is that if Texas plays this badly next week against Oklahoma, they'll be in trouble.

And Bradford's back.

Sam only threw for one touchdown and 389 yards, but he's back and looked sharp in a 33-7 win. The Sooners also rushed for over 200 yards. This isn't a bad OU team, peeps.

Can you stop the Hawkeyes?

This season, the Iowa's performances have ranged from the sublime to the truly awful.

They managed it all in 60 minutes against Michigan Saturday night.

Eventually, they came out and won 30-28, but they couldn't really stop Tate Forcier.

Is Michigan back, or is the Big Ten this weak?

And Ohio State sleepwalks...but wins anyway.

Ohio State wasn't great against Wisconsin, but they won 31-13.

Terrelle Pryor was useless for large parts of the Buckeyes' win, but used his legs to prove that next year and the year after (don't go after the 2010-11 season, son!) he will one of the most dangerous players in college football. His out-of-pocket speed is frightening.
