WHAT A NIGHT!

College football is a week to week process. How else do you define it? One week, Michigan beats ND, then ND stomps MSU, then MSU beats Michigan and ND drops one to USC who struggled against Minnesota in week one. Currently TT is stomping Oklahoma, and like clock work, LSU and Bama bury their opponents. If I hear another person say "les miles is a liability" I am going to ask them to clarify that for me. He is a recruiting machine and a hell of a football coach. A coach is only as good as his staff and LSU is about as strong at each position than any other team in the country. At the beginning of the season, I said other than Andrew Luck that Matt Barkley was the best NFL ready QB coming out after the season. I like Landry Jones but Barkley is as nasty as they come, he has the arm, presence, poise and decision making of a future NFL star.

How about the Big-Ten? My predictions were way off considering I picked NU to beat PSU and Illinois to beat Purdue, not to mention Wisconsin over MSU. Wisconsin was finally challenged by a tough MSU D without top end Gholston and let it slip away. Just when I thought MSU was running out of gas halfway through the fourth, they won on a hail mary, and I believe the refs made the right call. If MSU can pull one off in Nebraska next week, that would put together a hell of a three game winning streak with only Iowa and a possible NU scare at the end of the season left to worry about.

BIG TEN POWER POLL

1.MSU- you can't argue this beating Wisconsin coming off a emotional win over rival Michigan. Will travel to Nebraska next week.

2.Wisconsin- They no longer are head and shoulders above the rest. They lost a tough one on the road to a good team, on a hail mary. Will travel to ohio next week.

3.Nebraska- destroyed the Big-Tens worst team of all time in Minnesota. Hosting MSU next week.

4.PSU- I thought they would falter this week, but instead they run the ball and play enough defense to take out NU. They will host a downgraded Illinois team next week desperate for a win.

5.Michigan- IDLE and hosting Purdue next Saturday.

6.Iowa- toyed with Indiana this week and shouldn't have a problem with Minnesota in their next game.

7.Illinois- Took one on the chin today against Purdue and didn't look good doing it. If they think Purdue played tough D, wait til PSU welcomes them in next week.

8.ohio- IDLE this week and host a Wisconsin team hoping to prove they are not a fraud against good defenses.

9.Purdue- Yes, over NU. They have actually beat a descent team atleast. They travel to Ann Arbor next week.

10.NU- they have officially joined the cellar dwellars of the conference, they can't win.

11.Indiana- May have a descent team in a couple years with some young talent but currently just a scrimmage game.

12.Minnesota stinks
