What a Choke

Hello, Dennis Green? I know you don't read my blog, but these aren't thoughts that are going to be exclusively mine anyways. I just have a few questions. How do you blow a 13-point lead halfway through the 4th quarter? How do you blow a 20 point lead without giving up an offensive touchdown? Why do you throw the ball when the other team is using timeouts to stop the clock? (oh, wait, maybe that question answers the first two) Do you think NFL Network will hire you next year?

However, we did learn a few things last night (learning that Dennis Green is not going to win in Arizona isn't really learning ... we already knew that).

Rex Grossman for MVP hype is too much. Steve Smith is the MVP. He's very close to being for the Panthers what Emmit Smith was to the Cowboys. Seriously.

Brian Urlacher went from way overrated to way underrated. He might just be the best linebacker in the NFL right now. See what dumping Paris Hilton can do for you?

College Football

What the heck happened to Georgia? Wow.

Just me, or Michigan-Ohio State looks destined to be a battle of undefeateds?

Just me, or it's fitting that WVU (undefeated) is behind Auburn (with one loss) in the BCS standings? That's what you get for playing Our Lady of the Blind for your entire out-of-conference schedule. Part of me really hopes that holds up, USC loses and the OSU-UM winner plays one-loss Auburn for the National Title, while unbeaten WVU (or Louisville) plays in another bowl. But I don't think that'll happen. I think WVU beats Louisville, but then loses to Pitt in the backyard brawl. Just because Karma is like that.

Anyways, my top 25:

1. Ohio State
2. Michigan
3. USC
4. Auburn
5. WVU
6. Louisville
7. Florida
8. Texas
9. Notre Dame
10. Tennessee
11. Georgia Tech
12. Clemson
13. Arkansas
14. Cal
15. Boise State
16. Rutgers
17. Nebraska
18. Wisconsin
19. Oregon
20. Boston College
21. Texas A&M
22. Missouri
23. Boston College
24. Iowa
25. Pitt
26. Akron

119. Miami (Fl)

And, my Heisman Ballot:

1. Troy Smith, Ohio State
2. Garrett Wolfe, NIU
3. Mike Hart, UM
4. Calvin Johnson, GT
5. Steve Slaton, WVU


And, coming in with the rank of "idiot showboat" ... Adrian Peterson, OU
