What a weekend

A
AngryJason

Friday afternoon, I'm texting with my old roommate from Alabama.  I say to him "what I really want to see happen is for Oklahoma State to lose tonight, then Oregon and Oklahoma to lose tomorrow.  A Clemson loss would help as well".  Damn if it didn't all happen.


Now, Bama is looking like a lock for the BCS game.  Sure, there are some oddities about it, but looking at it objectively:


#1 LSU - Undefeated - no question about going to the BCSCG if they win out.


#2 Alabama - 1 loss to #1 LSU by 3 points in overtime at home.  Blowout win over #3 Arkansas at home.  Good win over #19 Penn State away.  Wrecked Florida's team away, but that doesn't mean much with UF's record.


#3 Arkansas - Blowout loss to #2  on the road.  Blowout win over #24 Auburn.  Blowout win at home against #14 South Carolina.


#4 Oklahoma State - Overtime loss to unranked Iowa State away.  Blowout win at home versus #18 Baylor (and possibly the best player in college football this year).  Good win over #11 Kansas State at home.


#5 Virginia Tech - No quality wins.  Blowout loss to #17 Clemson.


#6 Stanford - Blowout loss to #10 Oregon.  Good win over USC (unranked in BCS, but #10 in the AP).


 


As it stands currently, it looks like Alabama, Arkansas and Oklahoma State have the best bodies of work to be considered the #2 team.  Arkansas gets a shot at LSU this weekend, Oklahoma State has a big game against Oklahoma.  Assuming an LSU win over Arkansas, an Oklahoma win over Oklahoma State, and an Alabama win over Auburn, it really leaves only Alabama.  


Now, if Arkansas beats LSU, that would probably put Alabama into the SECCG against UGA.  Not a bad game.  A win there should cement Bama in the BCSCG.  


If LSU beats Arkansas, they stay at #1, no real discussion there.  However, if Arkansas beats LSU and Auburn beats Alabama, is it Arkansas #1, LSU #2?  What if Oklahoma State wins?  


To me, it looks like the only way we don't have an SEC rematch in the BCS is if Auburn beats Alabama, Arkansas beats LSU then loses to UGA and Oklahoma State beats Oklahoma.


From my crimson colored glasses, I'm assuming a Bama victory this weekend, but I fully expect Auburn to come out pissed off and ready to play.  I'm thinking LSU wins, but Arkansas has been playing them tough the past few years, so who knows.  I *think* Oklahoma beats Oklahoma State.


Guess we'll just have to see how it plays out.

Try Boingz from the download section. That might hold your interest or also try Blob and paint the town. Glad you had fun.

LOL!!!! The note to Mattel is dead on. I pull my hair out constantly with my daughter bringing me clothes to put on Barbie, because she can't get them over hips.

WTF, you guys were swimming i may? I'm in cali and had to put off opening the pool for our long weekend this coming weekend because the weather's been mid 60's for weeks and no sign of that ending. The pool may as well have ice cubes floating in it !\r \r I can't believe you guys have warm enough weather there in Ottawa to swim, unless you're all members of the polar bear club :lol:\r \r

On the topic of Barbie, i guess there's this new black barbie doll with pushed up boobs and a plunge neckline showing cleavage. It's causing quite a stir down here.\r \r

So Barbie has problems finding clothes that fit over her hips. So much for the unrealistic body image portrayal accusations...that pretty sums up the experiences of many of the non-plastic women I know :D\r

@Tank, I know I probably sound like a jerk complaining about work in this economy. But this job is much closer to being back in high school than any job I've ever had. for those of us who aren't in the popular crowd, it's 5x the work for 1/4 the pay. \r
