Texas Tech hasn't looked good tonight against Oklahoma, currently 21-0 Oklahoma solidly in control. Tech's offense hasn't done anything to speak of. Maybe they're not quite ready to play for national championship caliber games just yet.

Both Michigan and Michigan State got drubbed. Still a good season for MSU though at 9-3.

It's hard to take this game seriously anymore when you live in a state that cheers on "ducks" and "beavers".

Yeah, MSU should go to a reasonably high-profile bowl. I expect they'll get hammered there [Disclaimer: I'm an alumnus and fan, so I'm being realistic, not bad-mouthing the team], but still a good season, and better than expected.

Nice win by the Gators tonight, over the Crimson Tide for the SEC Championship.

Now we get to see if Oklahoma can hold up its end of the deal tonight, versus Missouri. If they lose, Texas may end up in the championship game, despite not even winning its own conference. That would be odd.

Assuming it'll be Gators-Sooners, should be a great game. There'll be a lot of factors involved in trying to break this one down, but one big one will be whether the Sooners can move on offense they way they're used to doing against the Florida defense. To win, the Gators D has to get Oklahoma out of their comfort zone and force some mistakes. Florida should be able to put up some points against the Sooner defense.

Penn State-USC in the Rose should be another great game. ESPN's projecting a Texas-Ohio State matchup somewhere. That could be a good one as well.

Memo to Pete Carroll: stop whining.

The day after the Gators beat the Sooners to win the national championship, Carroll gives a news conference to whine that nobody could beat his Trojans. Well, talk to the people at Oregon State about that. He needs to take care of business in the middle-of-the-Pac 10 so he can qualify for a slot in the national championship game first, not whine about it after the fact in a news conference. Classless. The guy in Utah has a more legitimate claim and showed some class when he stated his case that his undefeated team deserved a shot at the Gators or a share of the title. He's right. Carroll's wrong.

I'd love to see a USC-UF game. Who'd win? Who knows? But it would be fun. Carroll needs to leave it at that. But, whatever.

Today, however, was Carroll at his whining best. I turn on ESPN, and there's his sour puss moaning and groaning about the decision of his junior quarterback to go pro. He didn't come off as being concerned one bit about the kid, Sanchez. He looked frustrated and, frankly, pissed off, that Sanchez would dare leave USC early. What a contrast to Urban Meyer, who put his kids in touch with NFL people to gauge their readiness for the NFL, and then left the decision up to them.

Carroll's wrong about his No. 3 Trojans, and he's wrong about Sanchez. With Bradford staying at Oklahoma, Sanchez would be nuts not to enter the draft this year. He's a great quarterback whose stock likely won't get any higher than it is right now.
