There have already been 3 conference champions crowned this weekend (MAC, Pac-12, and C-USA), and there has been one major upset.
Houston got destroyed by Southern Miss today 49-28. Everybody knew that Houston had a powerful offense, but there were lots of questions about the defense. Those questions were answered today. Houston's defense is not good. It is a good thing this was discovered today instead of in the BCS game against us, so now if Michigan can get into the top 14 we will get to play a real team. Yes, that might mean we have a tougher game or might actually lose. But playing a real team will be better for this program and the B1G in the long run. Houston will now not get the auto bid for a BCS bowl since they did not win their conference. It is up to TCU to get into the top 14 to be eligible for the auto bid. It looks very unlikely that this happens, and Michigan will be paired with Kansas St (if they win against ISU) or Baylor (if they beat Texas). Both games are currently tied. If these teams find a way to lose, the rest of the weekend will be very interesting.
Oregon held serve on their home turf by outscoring a terrible UCLA team last night, and Northern Illinois came back from 20 down to beat Ohio (not that Ohio). Nothing real interesting with that.
Currently Georgia is taking it to LSU 10-0, but in reality it should be 21-0. Georgia has dropped 4 passes so far (2 would have been for touchdowns) and 2 interceptions. They were held to a field goal on the first drive after the 2nd dropped pass (1st in the endzone), then after the 2nd touchdown drop, Georgia missed the field goal. Georgia just scored with less than a minute left in the 1st quarter (only the 2nd touchdown allowed in the first quarter for LSU). Michigan better hope Kansas St can find a way to lose their new 7 point lead, or we could be on the outside looking in when the BCS standings come out tomorrow night. Everyone keeps saying that if LSU loses they will still go to the NC game, I do believe they are one of the 2 best teams in the nation. But what happens if they get blown out tonight? Will Alabama be rewarded with number 1 after sitting at home and watching? Will Ok St jump LSU? What happens if the Pokes lose to Oklahoma tonight? So many scenarios, one thing is for sure it will definitely be exciting!
