The Lonestar Showdown

The premier game this weekend in college football will be Texas Tech playing host to number 1 Texas. Mike Leach and Texas Tech can take their biggest step this weekend by taking down Texas. Tune into to watch Colt McCoy battle Graham Harrell in what should be a high scoring affair in Lubbock. This is just the start though for Texas Tech who will face Oklahoma State and Oklahoma in the coming weeks. If Texas happens to win this game, I have to say they are a sure fit for the Big 12 championship game and then the BCS championship game. (They play Baylor, Kansas, and Texas A&M) I saw Texas run out of some gas last weekend against Oklahoma State. This will be a prime time show is West Texas.

Georgia danced there way to beating Florida last year in this bitter rival game. This year the Gators are looking for some revenge. Mark Richt has Georgia on the up though. I feel that the O-Line is finally coming around to protecting Stafford like they should be and Moreno is being Moreno. I believe this game will be a close battle as it always is. In the end I see Georgia coming out and getting a lift over USC in the BCS rankings.

With the Ohio State game behind them, the question is now can Penn State outlast the rest of their Big Ten schedule. As of now the biggest problem seems to be the Michigan State game in late November. I hope the Nittany Lions can push their way into the BCS championship game (depends on a Texas or Alabama loss). This Lions have this weekend off.

Rant Of The Day:

Syracuse plays Louisville this weekend. Greg Robinson must be pleased to see a Big East team he actually beat come into the Carrier Dome. I don't see this being a repeat of last years 38-35 win by Syracuse. So when the Orange finish with Maybe 2 wins this season. We will see a departure of Greg Robinson, or a departure of more season ticket holders. SU you have a choice.
