Texas Tech @ Oklahoma

I think Tech is a little better than people are giving them credit for. Their win over Texas was not lucky--they controlled the entire game and Texas was lucky to be in the game at all, much less leading towards the end. That Tech pulled out a somewhat miraculous win at the end is more poetic justice than anything, because they were the better team that night.

That said, Oklahoma and Tech are evenly matched statistically. Oklahoma is at home.

Texas Tech 31
Oklahoma 34

is my pick. It's going to be a wire job.

New-fangled tie rules notwithstanding, it's time to face three incontrovertible facts about the NFC East: 1) Dallas isn't that good. 2) Washington isn't that good. 3) Philadelphia isn't that good. Oh, each are capable of putting together a run and advancing deep into the playoffs. But they're equally capable of ending the year with a 7-9 record. Or, in the case of the Eagles a 6-8-1 mark. That extra number at the end there could refer either to the amount of Philly ties, or how many months it will be until Andy Reid gets fired.

Um. Dude. Allow me to inform you of two important pieces of data:
1) There are 16 games in an NFL season.
2) 6+8+1=15

I know Donovan McNabb is catching a lot of flack for not knowing the rules to a football game, and rightfully so, but I bet he knows why his team can not finish with a record of 6-8-1. Considering this guy is a football writer blogger dude, this is inexcusable yet kind of hilarious. By the way, Dallas is that good--though they aren't Giants good or Titans good.

Great game between Ball State and Central Michigan last night, though in order to get to a BCS game, they will probably need both Utah and Boise St. to lose a game.

Kind of strange when Ohio State/Michigan gets upstaged, but that's exactly what is happening when they take a back seat to Penn State/Michigan State going on in Central PA. A PSU win means they get to the Rose Bowl. A loss and I'm guessing they'll be looking at the Capital One Bowl. That would be a humongous letdown after starting the season 9-0, but I think the Nittanies win going away. Too much talent, and they are at home.

Oregon St. can actually win the Pac-10 if they win their last two games. Both are tossups as far as I can tell, but the fact that they even have a shot at finishing ahead of USC is both amazing and somewhat hilarious. here's the thing--if Oregon St. does win, they get to the Rose Bowl, and USC probably ends up stealing Ohio St. spot in...iono...probably the Fiesta Bowl. Maybe the Sugar Bowl. But it would probably knock out the Buckeyes.

Well boo hoo on them. Go Beavers. And Nittanies.
