Week 6 Review!

This week of college football actually was as messed up as last weekends set of games.
Lets start out in Los Angeles where USC was hosting Stanford. This should be a nice easy game for the Trojans to bounce back right? They never play bad at home especially as 40 point favorites against teams like Stanford. Also they hadn't lost at home since 2001 against Stanford... wait a second Stanford was the last team to beat them at home? Possibly starting another cycle today?... well with it 9-0 right before half time USC tried to go up by 16 before they went in to the locker rooms and on 4th down they failed to get in the endzone. So from there on out they'd be outscored by Stanford 24-14 in the second half because of stupid mistakes that a #2 team should be above. But I guess in an in-conference game you never know what will happen. So the final score 24-23 Stanford win. After a touchdown with 49 seconds left. Then after USC's John David Booty threw a pick it was over. Now the end result one less undefeated team and USC is now ranked 10th.
Then in Champaign Illinois, Wisconsin and Illinois went at it. So the 5th ranked Badgers should walk through this game right? I mean they have the longest win streak. Illinois can't really be a real threat in the Big Ten could they? Well surprise, surprise. All of a sudden Illinois is 5-1 and 3-0 in the Big Ten. They could run the table if they wanted to, they have their own destiny in their own hands after knocking off Wisconsin 31-26... really that game wasn't even that close as Wisconsin scored a touchdown in the last few minutes. Now all of a sudden the Big Ten has been torn open. The teams in the best position for it right now are Michigan, Illinois, and Ohio St. As Ohio St. handidly took care of Purdue 23-7. The Boilermakers offense was proved much worse that it seemed. Then the Wolverines behind Mike Hart who is now the Michigan all time career yard leader won over Eastern Michigan 33-22. So all three of those teams can control their own destiny if they win out. Ohio St. would obviously be the favorite though as they are ranked #3 and should be in control of their title hopes too. Assuming Cal or LSU fall. LSU has Kentucky next and still plenty of other good SEC teams... while Cal still has USC, Arizona St., UCLA, and you can't disclude Washington.
So with number 2 and 5 falling who is our new top 5? #1 obviously LSU who had to play 4 quarters to get by a number 9 Florida. Who led the whole game. Who was up by 10 multiple times. But LSU made the comeback in the 4th quarter to get their 28-24 win. Then #2 Cal who had a bye week. Then the new #3 team was Ohio St. who you already heard about. Then #4 Boston College... yea that's right boston College. They destroyed Bowling Green 55-24 as their Quarter back Ryan scored 4 touchdowns. Then the number 5 team... South Florida.. surprised? Well I am since they barely beat Florida Atlantic.. in some exciting 4 quarter action.
Then the other game of interest is The Tennessee-Georgia game. Georgia ranked #12 should beat up on the unranked Vols who have been problem-matic this season. Well Tennessee had other plans this game. They decided they were going to stop Georgia's win streak in Knoxville. They realized they can play offense and defense. It isn't as hard as it seems to beat a good team. Just takes the determination. Well Tennessee came out and won 35-14. In a shocking fashion.. You'd think it would at least be right down to the end. Well not so much... although Georgia did score the last Touch down. But that score didn't matter. Since Georgia couldn't keep it close enough to make anything matter.
Then the game of interest in the Big Ten... MSU and the Wildcats. Michigan St. should shut out here right? I mean they do have the Wildcats in East Lansing. Northwestern has been absoultly horrible this season. Now all of a sudden they have a Big Ten win too. After their offense lit up the MSU defense, MSU also had an amazing offense but their 41 wouldn't be enough in the 48-41 Northwestern win. So now Michigan St. who some thought may be able to challenge in the Big Ten... is now 0-2 in Big Ten play. They'll have to play their way back in if they want to be anything at this point. Now with Indiana next Michigan St. will have to be careful as Indiana is also looking to be a Big Ten threat. Then also Notre Dame also won their first game 20-6 over UCLA as a few UCLA turnovers led to Notre Dame touchdowns. Well this why we play the games... because you never know what may happen.
