College Football Week 9

WHATDD UP BLOGGERS?! DKing is back to bring you the updates of college football. First, we got Michigan State vs Wisconsin in what some might call the game of the year. Also, we got big upsets in the top five teams.  Plus, we’ll bring you the new BCS rankings.

                First, we had #16 Michigan State hosting #6 Wisconsin. Wisconsin got an early lead in the first quarter going up 14 points. Then Michigan State came back and scored 23 unanswered points in the second quarter.  Defensive battles took place in the third quarter as only Wisconsin was able to score a field goal.

Then the beginning of the fourth quarter. Michigan state had given up two touchdowns where the game was tied 31-31. As time expired Michigan State quarterback Kirk Cousins threw up a 45 yard Hail Marry as Michigan States last chance to score before overtime. The pass was tipped by a Wisconsin defender and caught by Keith Nichols at the one yard line. He pushed his way into the end zone and won the game with no time left on the clock. It was one of the best plays I’ve ever seen and won’t be forgotten.

But, Michigan State beating Wisconsin wasn’t the only upset in the top 10 as #3Oklahoma lost to unranked Texas Tech. The game was a shootout as Tech prevailed 41-38. Oklahoma known for a powerful defense was unable to stop the high power offense of the red raiders.

Since the loss of Oklahoma, the BCS now has a change up in their top 5. #1 LSU still remains the top team in the nation, and Alabama occupies the #2 spot. This sets up a 1 vs 2 matchup next week as LSU travels to Alabama. Rounding out the top five is Oklahoma State, Boise State and Clemson.  It’s a nice change seeing an ACC team inside the top five where Clemson who has been destroying teams inside there conference. With LSU playing Alabama and Oklahoma playing Oklahoma State, Clemson has an opportunity to be in the contention for the national championship game.

A couple big games this week as #11 Michigan State plays at #14 Nebraska. Also,  #9 Oklahoma plays at #8 Kansas State, a team that has been flying under the radar as of late.  My game of the week is #15 Wisconsin coming into the horseshoe late Saturday night to play Ohio State at home.  Some great games to watch this week as the “regular season national championship” is next weekend.  DKing out!

BCS Poles

Bloggers, DKing is back online to bring you’re the latest news in College Football. We got the years first BCS rankings to discuss. Also, there is the buckeyes triumphant victory over ranked Illinois, and we take a look at the big games this upcoming weekend.

            The Bowl Championship Series is the system that college football has used to declare a national champion since 1998. It’s tradition that after each team plays in the conference games, the number one and number two teams in the country face off in the national championship game. Every year college football fans across the country enjoy when the first set of rankings appear. To start off the top three are listed as LSU, Alabama and Oklahoma respectively.

            It wasn’t a surprise when those teams were announced Sunday night as the top teams in the national that are competing for their shot to travel to New Orleans in the national championship. But, there is still a lot of teams out there that have yet to be challenged as the top eight teams in the BCS are still undefeated.  To me, I believe that LSU #1 will play #3 Oklahoma in the national championship game, a rematch from a couple years ago when they played in the Fiesta Bowl in 2010.

            The Buckeyes are back! They had a tremendous game against #15 Illinois, where freshman quarterback Braxton Miller led the buckeyes to a 17-10 win at Illinois. As Miller only threw four passes and completed one, that one completion was a touchdown that ended up deciding the victory. The Buckeyes look ahead to hosting #6 Wisconsin on October 29^th.

            Big games this week are #20 Auburn at #1 LSU.  #6 Wisconsin plays at #16 Michigan State and #4 Oklahoma State plays at Missouri. Thanks Bloggers, DKing out!

Heading into Conference Play

             Whatdup bloggers? The Arra of college football has returned during the beginning of RIVARLY WEEK! It’s week 6 and we got some big news in the lives of college football fans, a new number one has taken over as “king of the hill” in college football, the beginning of the end for Ohio State and we talk about which conference is the best.

            First and for most, LSU takes over the new number 1 ranking in college football. This week they won’t have an easy game as they take on #12 Florida in Baton Rouge Saturday night at 3:30. This makes 4 straight years a SEC team has been ranked #1 in the country during the regular season.

But, to be honest I can’t blame the voters. LSU’s defense has been top notch this season not taking any crap from West Virginia or Oregon. Not only would LSU have my vote in SEC championship game right now but, I would pick them to win the BCS National Championship right now at this point in the season. Behind LSU is another SEC team in Alabama. Stanley and I cannot wait for November 5^th when these teams due battle at Alabama.

             Although this is just getting towards the middle of the season so major rivals are arriving across the country.  The Red River Rivalry is this weekend as #3 Oklahoma plays #11 Texas at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, TX. Texas is struggling to identify themselves in the nation that last season is in the past and that they are back to win the Big 12. A win against Oklahoma would definitely raise some eye brows and get them noticed on a national level.

            Another rivalry game is #15 Auburn plays #10 Arkansas. Arkansas who is coming off a win against Texas A+M at the southwest classic, looks to begin conference play by making a statement in the SEC West. They were lucky to get the win after their defense giving up 500 yards of offense and 38 points. But, as Coach Dlugosz always tells us, “a win is a win.”

            Last but not least, what happened to Ohio State? They looked terrible against Michigan State, a team they could have beaten. Not only have they not found a starting quarterback but struggled on offense getting any yardage. This week they play at #14 Nebraska, a team that will put points on the scoreboard often. So, will Ohio State pull something together under the new coach, or blame this season on Terrell Pryor for how he got rid of Coach Tressell and just hope to go 500% for the rest of the season.
