In other SEC news, the Razorbacks return to SEC West Championship-of-the-World form by stunning North Texas (second-most-famous alumnus? Roy Orbison) 66-7. Coach Nutt deemed the game a “coming-out party” for embattled qb Casey Dick, who was an astounding 12 of 21 for 208 yards against the infamous “green spleen” defense. Added Nutt, “we could’ve beat anyone in the country tonight.”

Whether the Razorbacks will be able to maintain form next week against I-AA opponent Tennessee-Chattanooga, who lost by three touchdowns to Hogs’ rival The Citadel, remains to be seen.

Now that I think about it…..With all the talent the South Florida inherited from other schools that couldnt qualify “normally”, they could,in theory, run the table.
I think if someone can string together 4 quarters of football, LSU will fall. Watching USC struggle against Washington, USC isnt invincible. SO its possible for all the one loss teams to fall in line behind USF…..it could happen…….begin the fear……. every one looked ahead and just dropped their whole season when they werent looking….I call it “Premature Jubilation”

The Artist Formely Known as tOSUBuckeyes says:

Can we finally put the following things to rest:

1. The SEC is the only conference that beats itself up. Too many top ranked teams from other conferences losing to unranked conference foes to believe that it only happens in the SEC. SEC – get off your ass, quit being pussies and start scheduling teams OOC. You’re the best conference in college fucking football, why not take the show on the road in the preseason instead of laying in the weeds. Man the fuck up.

2. AP and Coaches polls and Blogpolls. None of the above can outwit the parity and emotion of college football – only a playoff system will give us an accurate NC.

3. Nick Saban as a play-caller and defensive guru. The guy is the most overrated, overpaid, and overhyped coach in college football, period-4 Million a year? Mark Dantonio (Tressel disciple) was the real reason for his success at MSU and we all know that Saban landed in a talent gold-mine at LSU. He’s taking Bama to the bank and they are a lucky catch against Arkansas from being worse than Shula’s team last year. Fuck this guy and fuck Bama.

Skip says:

When are they going to change the time-out rule, and how would they change it? You can’t make a kicker try a game-winning or game-tying field goal twice — or more — every game.

USC will definitely lose-so will LSU if they wear those awful unis again….I just don’t want Wisconsin or tOSU to be in the championship…but I don’t know who they will lose to

So, via transitive property….who owns Hollys Breast this week? Tebow lost them to Auburn, Auburn will lose again, probaly to Alabama…we will call it the
“Boob Bowl” or the “Battle for the 36D Cup”

Geno Hayes Rulez says:

Florida can’t feel that bad, they had a good run there, they’re still undefeated against the Big Three, and everyone else lost today. They won’t fall that far, and the BCS is still theirs to win, just win out baby.

I feel like this weekend should be on a show like “Mythbusters” for mustache Weds.. to try and recreate this shit and fiquere out WTF happened,how it happened, or if it even really happened….. I could have sworn I woke up somehow in Sept 2006, but my calendar says Sept 2007.

Lawrence says:

Auburn only won because of the bad call on that Leak incomplete pass….oh, wait. It must have been all that piped-in music in the stadium….oh, wait. It was just luck because Auburn did not score an offensive touchdown…oh, wait. Auburn only won because of home cooking from the refs….oh, wait. Well, the better team didn’t win anyway. Go Gators!

Gurn says:

Did six American Girl dolls just make Tebow their collective bitch?

If I might quote one of this blog’s hosts, “Cry, little boy. Your tears taste so sweet.”

Oh, sweet Jeebus, this is tasty.

Who took Tebow off the cross for this game, by the way? Did he not get the memo that he was mortal?

Oh, and how did Daywalker U. do today against Florida State

Suck it, Tebow. Choke on it, bitch.

Ed says:

The time out fiasco fix is simple – go back to the old rule that only a player on the field can request one. Coaches would never allow them to play it razor close.

The change was made only two or three years ago. Chang it back!

Kickers would still be iced, but rare would be the occasion when the timing was such that kickers would make two kicks for one result.

It’s weird seeing some of you guy talk about how the college football world is turned upside down. Since when is Auburn beating undefeated Florida a surprise?

Steve in Houston says:

Ron Prince owns Mack Brown. The KState win was no fluke whatsoever.

Texas is hugely overrated. Look for us to be out of the top 25 after next weekend.

No one should doubt the magnificence of Vince Young after the last couple of years. He bought the Texas staff 3-4 years, minimum.

The Big Dog says:

287 — I agree. The thought of a coach calling three timeouts (if he has them) should give the NCAA reason to reconsider this. Make two kicks — how about four?

Of course, if he missed the first and hit the second, how big an idiot would than have made Urban?

Baby-Faced Genius says:

The SEC is a swirling vortex of death and destruction, so cannibalistic , starters get injured while beating up on each other every week, so at the end of the season, each team is at the end of its depth chart and its better players are on crutches or on IR, so you never get a real true look at the “best” on either team. KY? WTF? I thought I would never see KY in a SEC Championship game, but shiiiit its a long shot. The only thing the SEC is good for is betting against the spread, except South Carolina, Spurrier has covered the last few weeks. BTW, South Florida has covered about every game and then some.

South Florida vs Kentucky for the National Title this year, to be immediately followed by a rain of blood, locusts, and frogs.

Seriously, this is crazy as hell

Yeah, well I think USF’s spreads are going to get a little wider. They’re on Vegas’ radar now.

Holly says:

We are NOT CALLING IT THE BOOB BOWL.

Holly… did Auburn just let Tenn back in the race for SEC-E?
Technically? Sure. But we have the entire balance of our conference schedule to play, and I promise you, this team will lose to Kentucky or Vanderbilt, to say nothing of teams that we expect to be good.

Matt says:

I’ll tell you what scares the shit out of me: Purdue’s schedule this year. Seriously, take a look at it. If this upset mojo continues next week and they beat OSU, they go undefeated. Penn State’s nothing and MSU probably won’t be a challenge. They have the worst schedule in D-IA and I’m damn scared of them going undefeated.

Better yet, Wisconsin could go undefeated too, never playing Purdue because of the f’d up Big 10 scheduling. If that happens, the world might as well end.

The Big Dog says:

Not to change the subject, but what’s up with those “gotta wear shades” uniforms that Minnesota sported this week? Did they raid the Vancouver Canucks’ vintage closet?

Not as bad as those hideous things the Eagles wore last week, but at least I know now why people used to have black and white TVs.

You could say all that, or, more accurately (and briefly!) you could just say the conference is horribly overrated.

295 — Vandy? The Gators are going to lose to Vandy at home? The fans will burn down the stadium if that happens.

And then there’s the locusts…

jamiedawgfan says:

297—I forgot about Purdue! NOW I have to worry about them, Wisconsin and tOSU….the Big 10 is looming in my mind and scares me worse than a USF-Kentucky BCS situation…and I gotta say, Kentucky’s uniforms are ugly..all that blue!

Jack says:

#299 I second that notion… so tired of hearing about “which conference is best.” Auburn isn’t that good…. but I’m sure we’re gonna hear about the great “SEC IS THE BESTEST” argument. Whine and complain…. break out the music and tissues. I still hope FL beats the ever living fuck out of GA but if big 10, pac 10, acc, or mac go undefeated why should we judge? Lettem play for the championship. ONE word – BOISE ST 06

The Big Dog says:

Hawaii has a shot to run the table, too. Look at the schedule. They finish with Boise and Washington at home, but they should be 10-0 at that point.

hugh mcsnatchercraft says:

as much as it kills y’all, tOSU looks like a solid, versatile team with talent all over the place and a scary D. is there any doubt theyll crush wisky and UM?

SA says:

277-Wisconsin and OSU play each other this year, so at least one of them won’t go undefeated. And I think Wisconsin got OSU at home, but Buckeye and/or Badger fans will have to back me up on that one.

Holly says:

It’s not apparent enough by now that I’m not a Florida fan? By “we”, I meant Tennessee.

blackertai says:

Aside from it being horribly out of character, would it be bad if I admitted I wouldn’t have shed a single tear had a meteor hit The Swamp during that game? I must say I am relieved that Brandon Cox got his big upset out of the way already, so that when they roll into Athens in November, we don’t have to worry so much about their always mystifying ability to beat us at home.

Then again, I would think Tennessee fans will burn the stadium down, too.

duhduhdee says:

Orson,

Sorry we fucked your season up… again.

At least we did it with our offense this time, instead of pulling points out of our asses.

Good luck the rest of the season, unless we somehow meet again in the SECC game.
