Week 5 Recap

Week 5 finally brought the upsets and craziness that was expected of this season. Whether this is a precursor to another season like last year, or just an aberration remains to be seen.

Here are some of the top stories from week 5.


Ranked Teams Losing


Nine teams ranked in the top 25 lost this week. Some were amazing upsets, and some were outcomes we expected. Here's the nine ranked schools that lost.

• No. 1 USC - The Trojans once again choked against a non-ranked PAC-10 team that has no where near the talent as Pete Carroll's bunch. This year it was Oregon St.'s turn. The Beavers pulled off the stunning upset on Thursday night, forcing me to stay up and watch. Man was I dragging ass the next day at work.
• No. 3 Georgia - The Dawgs did the unthinkable and lost during one of their black-out games. 'Bama has it's fans all riled up and clamoring about a national title. I thought it was nearly impossible for the Bulldogs to lose a "black-out" game.
• No 4. Florida - Lets' move on.
• No. 9 Wisconsin - The Badgers squandered a huge lead in the Big House. RichRod's bunch may have got the win they were looking for.
• No. 16 Wake Forest - Frankly, I'm more surprised that Wake lost to Navy than I am about USC losing to Oregon St. I didn't think the Midshipmen had a chance to stay on the field with the Demon Deacons. I guess that just shows the real power of the ACC.
• No. 20 Clemson - Speaking of ACC power. The Tigers pulled a Clemson and were upset by Maryland.
• No. 23 East Carolina - The Pirates are no longer the feel good story of the year. That's back-to-back losses after their 3-0 start.
• No. 24 TCU - I hope the Horned Frogs enjoyed their stay in the top 25. We all knew TCU was over matched vs. Oklahoma.

The SEC West is GOOOOODDD!!!!


If the SEC is the best conference in the country, than the SEC West is easily the best division in the nation. Coming into the season, the East took all the headlines. Now it seems, the West has the goods in the conference. Alabama obliterated Georgia and are currently ranked number 2 in the nation. Ole Miss pulled off the stunning upset of Florida at the Swamp. LSU is ranked third in the nation. And Auburn, ranked 13th nationally, beat Tennessee. The Vols aren't that good, but they're still an SEC East team. There's still plenty of football to play and I still believe an SEC East team will win the conference. However, right now the West is the best.




Still Unbeaten



There are still 18 teams in the nation with dreams of that perfect season. Some have better chances than others of coming closer to accomplishing that feat. Here are the 18 teams that are still playing perfect football.

1. Alabama 5-0
2. Ball St. 5-0
3. Boise St. 3-0
4. BYU 4-0
5. Connecticut 5-0
6. Kentucky 4-0
7. LSU 4-0
8. Missouri 4-0
9. Northwestern 5-0
10. Penn St. 5-0
11. Oklahoma 4-0
12. Oklahoma St. 4-0
13. South Florida 5-0
14. Texas 4-0
15. Texas Tech 4-0
16. Tulsa 4-0
17. Utah 5-0
18. Vanderbilt 4-0
    

Fumbles and a blocked extra point doom the Gators

I know it's kind of late to be doing a post game from yesterday's game. But I'm just now getting over my depression from the loss. What a good and bad game. Our offense finally seemed like it was starting to click. Moody ran well until he was injured, Harvin finally worked his way back into the offense, and Tebow finally got his rushing touchdown.

Yet it was 5 fumbles, 3 lost fumbles, and a blocked extra point that ruined the Gators' shit. I guess you could call it karma. Two years ago, we broke South Carolina's heart by blocking an extra point and two field goals to win it 17-16. How often do you see a blocked extra point? I have always said, if a team really tries they could probably block every single one of them.

One good thing to take from this game is Tebow's press conference afterwords. Tebow swore the Gators would be back with a vengence. He also nearly broke down in tears while he apologized to us Gator faithful. I would really hate to be an Arkansas Razorback right about now.

Here are the UF stats from the game.

Player of the game

Percy Harvin - Wide Receiver, Running Back, Man 'O Fumbles

Yes Harvin had another classic day in a Florida uniform. Yes Harvin flirted with a 200 yard receiving day. And yes Percy nearly accomplished 100 yards rushing AND receiving once again. However, Percy fumbled, and fumbled and fumbled the damn ball! His stats alone make him the player of the game, but some people could make him the goat of the game as well. Percy has never had a problem protecting the ball before. I hope this isn't the start of a new, horrible trend.








Good thing for Florida, Arkansas may be the worst team in the SEC. They looked like shit once again yesterday against Texas. If we don't play very impressive against the Hogs we might as well make travel arrangements to Tampa or Orlando for our bowl game now.

Ole Miss Lady Types

This moment only comes every few years for a young University of Florida student. In fact it's so rare, that I myself was only able to experience it once. Of course I am talking about the Florida vs. Ole Miss football game.

I've said it time and again, there's no college in America that can compete with Ole Miss when it comes to hot ass bitches!

I hope you Gator fans at the game savor every moment of this week. It's not often you're treated to better looking women than we have at the good 'ol U of F.

Since I myself have limited experience with dealing with the flesh lettuce that flocks down from Oxford, I thought I would share with you guys what you have to look forward to. Many thanks to Poon of the SEC for most of the pics.

I pray to god my wife doesn't start reading my blog this week.

When out on the town the night before the game, try to find a pack of hot Ole Miss coeds enjoying the local eateries. Here's what you might look for:




If that doesn't soothe your bearded chalupa fix, try looking for some Ole Miss females at one of the many bars along University Avenue. They will probably be traveling in packs a lot like this one:



Hell, you might even get lucky enough to spot some Ole Miss chicks that are in to dress up and role play:





So you don't get to see any Ole Miss whisker biscuits the night before the game. Have no fear, they know how to tailgate in Oxford:



























If older poon tang is your thang, Ole Miss has that too. Just look for the hot MILF's wearing red and drinking a Diet Coke. Like so:







Some Rebel cheerleader action for ya:






And finally, if there were one word to sum up the females at Ole Miss it would be, Fucking AWESOME!

Weekly Picks

Last Week - 46-11

Overall- 207-44


Time for another weekly rendition of me showing just how awesome I am.

It's a shame how incredibly gifted I really am. I honestly can't get enough of myself.

By the way, damn North Carolina for giving away that lead to Va Tech. Here are my picks for this week:

SMU @ Tulane
USC @ Oregon St. (USC will dominate leading to an instant erection by Mark May.)
Connecticut @ Louisville
Minnesota @ Ohio St. (Closer than people think.)
Maryland @ Clemson (See above.)
Michigan St. @ Indiana
Virginia @ Duke (Duke proves they are no longer the worst team in the ACC.)
Pittsburgh @ Syracuse
Kent St. @ Ball St.
Northern Illinois @ Eastern Michigan
Northwestern @ Iowa
North Carolina @ Miami(FL) (The Heels win the Butch Davis bowl.)
Ole Miss @ Florida
Army @ Texas A&M
Rhode Island @ Boston College
VMI @ Ohio
Western Michigan @ Temple
Arkansas St. @ Memphis
Arkansas @ Texas (No hurricane to save the Hogs this week.)
Wisconsin @ Michigan
Tennessee @ Auburn
Houston @ East Carolina
Fresno St. @ UCLA
Colorado @ Florida St.
Purdue @ Notre Dame ( Notre Dame's dream perfect season is over.)
Morgan St. @ Rutgers (Finally.)
Marshall @ West Virginia
Cincinnati @ Akron
UL-Lafayette @ Kansas St.
Navy @ Wake Forest
Buffalo @ Central Michigan

Western Kentucky @ Kentucky
Central Arkansas @ Tulsa
UAB @ South Carolina
Florida International @ Toledo
Troy @ Oklahoma St. (This will be a very close game.)
Mississippi St. @ LSU (This will not be a very close game.)
South Florida @ North Carolina St.
Alabama @ Georgia (The game of the week.)
Illinois @ Penn St.
Weber St. @ Utah
Idaho @ San Diego St.
Virginia Tech @ Nebraska
New Mexico @ New Mexico St.
UCF @ UTEP
Stanford @ Washington
Nevada @ UNLV
San Jose St. @ Hawaii

Upset Alert - I came really close to picking Illinois over Penn St. The fact that the game is in Happy Valley is what made me choose the Nittany Lions.

Heisman Watch

With each passing week, more and more Heisman "contenders" are filtered out of the system. The same was true for this past week. Chase Clement is no longer a dark horse candidate after he laid an egg vs. Texas. Rudy Carpenter removed his name from the hat as well.

There is a ton of candidates still out there vying for position on my prestigious Heisman list. Without further ado, here is this week's Heisman watch.


1. Chase Daniel - Missouri QB

Week 4 vs. Buffalo
36-43 439 yds 2 tds

Season Totals
101-143 1412 yds 12 tds 1 int

Daniel put in another quality performance against Buffalo this week. The Missouri offense is clicking rather nicely right now. The Tigers are easily the most impressive offense in this early season. Daniel has not used his feet quite as much as last year, but with his passing numbers, he won't have to.




2. Javon Ringer - Michigan St. RB

Week 4 vs. Notre Dame
39 201 yds 2 tds

Season Totals
143 699 yds 11 tds


Ringer was under considerable pressure this week after he made my Heisman watch for the first time last week. Javon ran right through that pressure like a cowering Notre Dame safety. Ringer once again carried his Spartans to a victory. No other tailback in the nation carries the load of his team more than Ringer does. As a class move, Javon did his postgame interview with his entire offensive line behind him.


3. Knowshon Moreno - Georgia RB

Week 4 vs. Arizona St.
23 149 yds 2 tds

Season Totals
69 455 yds 9 tds


While Ringer is the workhorse type tailback, Moreno is the electrifying, highlight inducing tailback. We all know highlights are what make Heisman winners. Moreno performed another acrobatic leap this week, this time for a score in the Bulldogs win in the desert. If Moreno performs the same against 'Bama, he could jump to the top of this list.


4. Sam Bradford - Oklahoma QB

Week 4 - Bye

Season Totals
64-81 882 yds 12 tds 2 ints

Bradford slips a bit this week just because he didn't play. I reward no one for not playing! (Except maybe Tebow) Bradford will face a stiff test against TCU this week. If he's able to pass with flying colors, he should be right back at the top of this list.



5. Tim Tebow - Florida QB

Week 4 vs. Tennessee
Passing
8-15 96 yds 2 tds
Rushing
12 26 yds

Season Totals
Passing
38- 64 489 yds 5 tds
Rushing
34 118 yds

Sure Tebow's numbers aren't going to blow anybody away this season. However, he is playing very good football right now for a dominant Gator football team. Tebow has yet to turn the ball over this season. Also, as the defending Heisman award winner, Tebow will stay on this list until he screws up.


The Next Five

1. Colt McCoy Texas QB
2. Graham Harrell Texas Tech QB
3. Jeremy Maclin Missouri WR
4. Donald Brown Connecticut RB
5. Brandon James Florida RS
