December is here - Championship Saturday is coming

College Football is the best!

The Auburn win over Alabama was one of the most exciting football games I have ever watched. I really did not think the war beagles could hang with the Tide, but they did. And big bad Nick choked more than once in the game, or at least proved he is human after all. When he decided against a FG try from the 13 yard line I sent a text to Roger “what is he thinking?”. High school kickers everywhere make 30 yard FG’s. I know, you are Alabama and you should be able to gain a yard, but give Auburn credit for playing with MORE heart and passion than the tide. By the way, last year’s SEC Championship game between Bama and Georgia was right up there in the all-time great games. Back to the Iron Bowl, I am a sick puppy when it comes to football, but a 109 yard missed FG return with no time on the clock! Wow! Auburn gained ~300 yards on the ground against the vaunted Tide “D”. ON the ground! Gus is gonna be trouble in the already stupid good SEC for years to come. Jason will be hard to live with…unless the Noles get to hammer them  ************************************************************************************************************************** Mizzu beat A&M and johnny football to secure the SEC East top spot. Very impressed with Mizzu. Sure Georgia and Florida were down when they played the Tigers, but Mizzu got better every week. They will not lay down in Atlanta. In fact, I expect a terrific shoot out between the two TIGERS teams. ***************************************************************************************** South Carolina beat Climpsun but the Mizzu win eliminated them from Atlanta. I thought Carolina would be playing Alabama and I think South Carolina would have won that one…It boggles my mind that USC lost to Tennessee… Duke did it! They won their 10th game and will play in the ACC Champ game Saturday night in Charlotte. Sure, FSU should beat them but what an amazing job Cuttcliff has done. Up north the ohio state beat Michigan when the Maize and Blue failed on their 2-point conversion. So, at this point OSU looks to play FSU in the BCS game. I will be a huge Michigan State fan in the big10 (w 12 teams) champ game. The absolute worst case scenario for me will be that FSU plays the buckies without Jameis…makes my stomach hurt. Go Sparty! Arizona State hosts Stanford in the Pac 12 title game. I like the Devils who are smokin hot with a 8 game win streak going. Oregon eaked out a w over cross state rival Beavers… In addition to the conference championship games on Saturday, the Bedlam (I love games with names/titles) matchup of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State is huge. The Cowboys win the big 12 (w 10 teams) if they prevail. If the Sooners win, Baylor gets the crown (assuming they beat Texas – not a sure thing). UCF played like dog crap against USF. Knights are gonna go BCS bowling, but NOBODY in that league deserves a bid, as much as I have sentimental feelings for the Orlando school. Don’t give me that North Illinois garbage either. They had their day in the sun last year and a weaker FSU team beat em by 21.

If I did this right, this pic is 3 of my cousins loving the season FSU is enjoying! ************************************************************************************************* Gators played hard in the 1st half, but as expected, FSU pulled away and won by 30. My dad and my mother in law are in mourning... So, Will fired his OC and another sacrificial assistant. With next year’s murderous schedule, Florida better be ready to score some points for a change.
