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. DKing out!
