Well you know a Georgia Tech man would have been able to engineer his own electricity for game watching...
I don't think Penn St. can be considered a top 5 team yet, who have they beaten?
Good to see another Rocky Flop.
I watched the Alabama/Arkansas game, looks like Saban has things rolling down in tide land.

MANY of the top 10 teams have beaten no one, or in the very least no one very tough. Many of them have struggled mightily with cupcake teams. At least PSU have destroyed everyone they've faced and not just squeaked by. Why look at USC losing to Oregon State a team we blew out of the stadium.
If PSU beats Illinois today they will be in the top 10, and if they then go on to beat Wisconsin as well, they will be in the top 5. If they go undefeated they very well might play for the National Title and well they should.
And for a team that will not be in the Top Ten next week (thereby clearing a space for Penn State, PB): Florida! Way to lose in the swamp, Gators!
Hopefully Bama will cooperate tonight and clear another space for your Nittany Lions, PB.
well, i must say alabama impressed me in spanking my dawgs. Have you seen the remainder of their schedule (georgia's is a murderous one, btw)? The only really good teams they have left are lsu (there) and auburn (at home). They should finally beat auburn. The lsu game will be a good one. They could be an early favorite for the national title.
Alabama looked good Saturday, but the question is how good is Georgia? This is the same team that was very lucky to beat South Carolina and struggled with Georgia Southern.
Exactly how did Georgia "struggle" against Georgia Southern? They were up 24-0 at halftime, and had a 38-0 lead before Georgia Southern scored late in the 3rd quarter. Don't let the final score (45-21, which is not close) fool you. That would be like someone looking at the final score of the Georgia-Alabama game (41-30) and assume it was close all the way. The difference is that Georgia Southern scored a couple of late touchdowns against Georgia's second string; Georgia put up 30 points against Bama starters in the second half.
And don't let the SC game fool you either. Georgia almost always struggles offensively against SC, especially since Spurrier arrived and brought his defensive coordinator from Florida with him. I think Georgia has scored a total of about 3 or 4 offensive touchdowns against SC in the last 4 seasons. Some teams just don't match up well against others. Georgia almost always beats SC, it's just normally an ugly game.
Where was no-show moreno this weekend?
Authorities arrested Alabama head coach Nick Saban in the predawn hours Monday at his home in Tuscaloosa on animal cruelty charges. Saban, 56, was charged with 85 counts of animal cruelty in an alleged attack which occurred Saturday night in Athens, Georgia. Police said that as many as 92,138 witnesses saw Saban and a large group of violent young men under his control hit, kick, crush and destroy a large pack of mostly-docile bulldogs. One officer was quoted as saying, "I haven't seen bulldogs treated this badly since the Michael Vick case."
Story is still developing............
Penn St. please put a whoopin on Purdue for me, I am not a fan of the Boilers!
Right now I would say that Oklahoma, Mizzou, Alabama, Penn St., and Texas have separated themselves from the pack and are the best teams. However, in the next few weeks Oklahoma and Texas play and then Texas and Mizzou play, so it should be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
Backwoods, congrats on your Pitt Panthers beating South Florida last evening. It looks like they may be poised to make a run in the Big East!
