College Game Day!

What a Saturday this was for college football! This was the time for teams to step up to get to a bowl game or to clinch their spot in a top one. The top five teams held their spots though with wins today.

Auburn finally got that win over Georgia after losing the last four match ups against the Bulldogs. Auburn also clinched the SEC West spot, which is one step closer to the BCS Nationals. They first have to get through Alabama who won their game today as well.

Other top teams that walked away with a win today were TCU and Ohio State winning over Penn State. Too bad Paterno could not get his 401 win. Boise St dominated over Idaho Friday. Oregon walked away with a 15-13 win over Cal, which I would have thought would have had a bigger win over them.

Bowl projections in week ten by Andrea Adelson has Auburn and Boise St going at it in the Allstate Sugar bowl. I like this match up and feel that it will be a good game because both teams are playing great. Boise St should have a tougher schedule and given a chance to play a SEC team.  Mark Schlabach has LSU and TCU going to the Allstate Sugar bowl. I do not want to see LSU at a bowl ranked that high. Guess it pays to be a big school in the SEC.

A team that has caught my attention this season is South Carolina! Where did they come from? They are just riding to the top and they deserve to be put in a top bowl. Being the first team to beat the 2009 National Champions and continuing to win deserves something. I was not expecting them to beat Florida and especially not 36-14. Funny how former Gator coach, who named the famous Gator stadium “The Swamp”, has clinched the SEC East. They have gotten their first division title, which was lead by Steve Spurrier. Florida has just taken a beaten this year. Since 1989 this was the first time the Gators have lost three-games at home. They must really be missing Tebow!

It will be interesting to see how the final weeks of football play out and to see who goes to what bowl. The best thing about this sport is that nothing is written in stone until the very end. Anything can change within seconds!

My prediction for the BCS National Champs will be Auburn if the Newton issue goes away and they take Alabama down. I love the roll they are on.
