Wide Right are a couple of dirty words to fans of the Seminoles. It made another appearance this weekend when kick Hopkins missed TWO field goals in the 4th Qtr, to let another ACC win slip away. North Carolina played great, as did NC State the previous week, but FSU should have won both games. As frustrating as it is, I'll be switching back and forth this Saturday night between their game with Clemson, and the Florida - South Carolina showdown for the SEC East title.
To continue my lament on kickers breaking my heart, my old high school out played the Niceville fishheads on Friday night in the district championship game, but missed TWO kicks, a PAT AND a short FG and lost by 1... to quote Joe Paterno's boy Bobby "dad gum it" :)
A week after going to Statesboro to watch Georgia Southern, the Eagles beat the #1 team in the nation; Appalachian State. Hugh victory for Nate Baker and the GSU bunch!
Who thought Iowa State would take Nebraska to OT, or that Texas A&M would beat Oklahoma, OR that LSU would beat Alabama. TCU opened a can on Utah. Oregon and Stanford could beat just about anybody and probably run the score up a bit. The SEC West has FIVE ranked teams and NOBODY would want any of Arkansas about now. The ACC and the Big East should forgo their auto BCS bids and give Boise and TCU a better chance at significant bowl matchups and paydays.
Now, FSU is no longer ranked. Miami is not ranked and the Gators have climbed back into the polls at 24 or 25. The Central Florida (aka UCF) Knights are the highest ranked team in Florida. Let that sink in. If UCF beats Southern Miss on Saturday, they will go 10-2 and be in the CUSA Championship game. Possible to win 11 or 12 games...Big East better take notice of the 2nd largest university in the country.
I watched Mt Dora Bible play for a while on Friday night. They lost in OT, but are a better football team than they they have been. The new coach must be doing something right.
