STATEMENTS MADE-

"Howard The Duck" might have been one of the biggest Hollywood flops of all-time, but the Oregon Ducks are the exact opposite. Save the tough opening game loss to Boise State , they have played some of the best football in the country and are at least in the fringe discussion for a possible national title game berth.

Colt McCoy is getting closer and closer to winning the Heisman. Another big day for the Longhorn as he lead his team to a blowout win at a previously solid Oklahoma State team inching closer to both the national title game and the most coveted trophy in sports.

I still want to throw up every time I watch the Florida Gators play. Too bad they really are good.

Does anyone else realize that if a couple not-so-crazy things go their way, Cincinnati could be playing in the national title game? Did we fall off the bed and collectively wake up on Mars!

ARGUMENTS LOST-

USC which was clouded in a cloak being a much better team they they actually are, showed all us smart people that never bought it that they were both overrated and have a truly annoying fight song.

My alma mater Eastern Michigan is the worst team in college football. It kills me to say it , but I'm a journalist so I have to at least try to be objective and they just make it to easy . Is there anyway we can get Charlie Batch another year of eligibility. Its not like he's busy with his current job holding the clipboard for Ben Roethlesberger.

The Michigan Wolverines are taking two steps back for every one forward. Yes it's a growing process and they are being led by a true freshman QB in Tate " three ring circus" Forcier, but losing to the Zookster? "COME ON!!" ,said Stan the sports guy

I love fall foliage , but it means that feet of snow is only a short time away. Where are you global warming when I need you??

WEEKLY POWER POLL

5-OREGON(WITH A BULLET) - This team is for real and extremely dangerous.

4-IOWA- They love to give their fans at least two heart attacks per game , but yet are still alive for a national title game berth.

3-FLORIDA- Your ad here------------

2-TEXAS- When clicking on all cylinders they can beat anyone anywhere and have the best QB in the country.

OHIO STATE AT PENN STATE ( PSU -4) Does Terrelle Pryor have the swine flu or is he just not that great to begin with?
