2008 College Football (US)

[DudeAsInCool]

Well, here we are for another season of college football. The big surprise of the weekend was powerhouse Michigan's loss to Utah. My team Penn State beat Coastal Carolina 66-10, but the rankings committee didn't think much about that - wait until we beat Ohio State later this year

My Huskers are 3-0 so far this season, but they are still sitting outside of the top 25.

My Huskers are 3-0 so far this season, but they are still sitting outside of the top 25.

Nebraska is usually higher rated - what's up with that?

[vernarial]

Still rebuilding. They got Osborne back as athletic director, so that should help them get back to their roots.

[DudeAsInCool]

My team, Penn State, beat Temple 45-3, and has now inched up to #12 in the standings :) How did the rest of you guys do?

[vernarial]

Nebraska didn't play this weekend. They are still close to breaking into the top 25.

The #1 team in the country, USC, lost last night to an opponent that my team crushed a couple weeks ago

The Nittany Lions may have gained more respect for their early success long before the 8 p.m. kickoff Saturday, when Oregon State upset top-ranked Southern California, 27-21 on Thursday. Oregon State was routed by the Nittany Lions, 45-14, three weeks ago.

We play #22 Illinois on Saturday, and should be ranked in the high side of the top ten early next week :)

In addition to #1 USC, #2 Georgia and #4 Florida also lost. My team, #12 Penn State beat #22 Illinois - which means that Penn State will probably be in the top 5 teams of the country when the polls come out, and in contention for a National Championship. I will let you know

"THE BIG TEN HAS A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENDER—PENN STATE. Ohio State was supposed to be the school that carried the conference's flag into BCS contention, but the Buckeyes' annihilation at USC dropped them from elite status. Enter the Nittany Lions, whose impressive 38-24 win over Illinois moved Penn State to 5-0 and into the upper echelon. The Nittany Lions have an explosive offense led by an emerging star at quarterback in Daryll Clark. And the defense is a typically salty Joe Paterno unit. October will make or break Penn State, as the Nittany Lions play three of four on the road: at Purdue, at Wisconsin, Michigan, at Ohio State. If college football has taught us one thing, it's to expect the unexpected. So, feel free to start dreaming big, Penn State. You are good."

My Huskers lost last week. Hopefully they can rebound.

[DudeAsInCool]

Three teams in the Top 5 lost, so Penn State rises again after beating Wisconsin 48 - 7

Red, you should be happy about Texas.

The Cornhuskers lost again. Damnit!

[DudeAsInCool]

Big college football weekend for me. My team, #3 Penn State, plays # 10 Ohio State, at Ohio State. The critics are favoring Ohio State because of their home field advantage, but I predict Penn State will win by at least 14 pts :) If they win, they are almost assure of vying for the National Championship against either Texas or Alabama

Penn St Beats Ohio State 13-6

"Penn State, unbeaten and unbowed, proved it belongs in the middle of any national championship talk."

The big news this weekend was Texas Tech's win over #1 Texas, which has Catapulted Alabama to the #1 position. Here are the new rankings - along with the latest Bowl Champion Series Poll - Texas Tech is tied with Alabama in the 1 position, followed by Penn State. This should change as the rest of the schedule unfolds

This weekend the race for the National Championship escalates with #1 Alabama facing off against #15 LSU, and #* Okla St squaring off against #2 Texas Tech. #3 Penn State is playing Iowa, with an eye on what happens in these two games You can check out the full weekend schedule for College Football below:

[DudeAsInCool]

Alabama and Texas Tech remain undefeated. Sadly, my team Penn State, lost by a heartbreaking 1 point, when Iowa kicked a field goal with only seconds remaining. Unless either of those two teams fall, Penn state is unlikely to play for the National Championship, and must beat Michigan State next week to take the Big 10 championship to get in a premier bowl game.

The rest of the scores are below.

[DudeAsInCool]

None of the top teams have lost, so if Alabama and Texas Tech look like they are headed for a showdown. My team, Penn State looks like its headed to the Rose Bowl, probably against USC - which isn't a bad consolation prize.

[DudeAsInCool]

Today is a big college football weekend. I will be watching Penn State versus Michigan State and the Texas Tech versus Oklahoma game. How about you all?
