Creme' La SEC Rising!!!

   What we learned...the pressure of the #1 slot seems to be too much to bare!!  We'll see if Notre Dame can roll into the National Championship game bearing the weight of that position.  Kansas State is who we thought they were with the Baylor Bears blowing the doors off the Dirty Cats!!  Defense reigns supreme with the SEC like Stanford Cardinal shutting down the high flying ducks to take control of the PAC 12 North.  Finally, it looks as if the hated SEC not only has a shot to retain the National Championship, but also the Heisman!

  If the Golden Domers can hold on in LA next week..then the BCS Championship will clear up with the Irish taking on the SEC Champ...but if they lose... BCS Chaos will ensue!  SEC haters could have their worst nightmares realized if the Baby Gators can go on the road and handle their business against a talented but inconsistent Florida State team.  Even if the voters try to influence the Gators from pulling an Alabama, they might have too much computer love to stop another SEC lockout in the NCship game.  If it's close in LA.. Notre Dame could still find its way to Miami by staying ahead of Florida in the polls.  Florida State could surge ahead if they blowout the Baby Gators...or the Ducks could find their way back in the game.  Kansas State..no chance!  If Georgia and Bama takes care of business next week the SEC will be represented in the big game once again.

  Kansas State never passed my eye test and would have wasted a slot in the National Championship.  This team played well together but was exposed by a more talented average Baylor team last night.  In my opinion this would have been the same scenario if the Cats ended up in Miami against any team with the exception of  Notre Dame.  The horrible defense of Baylor stuffed Klein all night and the high flying offense exposed the Dirty Cats 'D'...if Texas can put together a complete game next week they should beat K-State.

  Stanford answered the question of how Oregon would do in the SEC.  The honorable mention SEC member took the plan from Auburn and LSU and built their team on the line of scrimmage.  No matter the speed of Oregon... Stanford proved that the game of football is won and lost in the trenches...and the Cardinal dominated the Ducks in the trenches.  Yes..for all of you spread lovers..Johnny Football is doing well in the SEC..but he also lost twice at home against SEC competition.  If Stanford wins next week vs UCLA then they will have to turn around and play the same game the following Friday...if they lose Oregon will be looming if they beat the Beavers in Corvallis.

  If Bama can hold serve vs Auburn and the Bullfrogs can survive the Georgia Tech option attack.. the National Championship will once again go through Atlanta.  If the young Bama squad can refocus and get back to paying attention to the small details they should dispatch Auburn quickly.  The Bullfrogs should out-talent Georgia Tech but if they can't adjust to the triple option attack then the game could be highly contested.  With Mizzou coming into Kyle Field Johnny Football should finish his freshman season on a high note and transition to Johnny Heisman!!
