Here’s this week’s poll. A number of crappy performances by previously-believed-to-be not so crappy teams had me on parachute duty. The whole feel-good Rutgers thing confuses me, as I think I have them too high while thinking that they should probably be higher. Let them beat WVU and we’ll see what we’ve got.

I watched some OSU-NW, most of Michigan-Indiana, a little bit of Toledo-NIU, some USC-Oregon, and I’m sure there were others. Oh, Florida-S. Carolina.
That’s all I’ve got. I’m off to BG in the morning for some Wednesday night rain/snow/wind/cold goodness at Doyt Perry Stadium. BG has lost the last game I’ve attended each of the last two seasons. I’d love to reverse that trend.
And, since the fond memories of the last time we played Miami(OH) go out the window at kickoff, I feel the need to share some of this:
