Clearly the college football gods read my weekly recaps here. This is how I ended last week’s post:
Next week has some big match-ups and I for one will be hoping for some upsets. We haven’t had enough of those this season for my liking.
And hoo boy, did we get some amazing games and some AWESOME upsets! I just woke up from my drunken stupor from all my Saturday celebrating on Monday morning, just to write this post!
Let’s get to those recaps!
It was another exciting week in college football this weekend. The top teams are starting to move themselves from the rest of the pack, and just in time as the first BCS poll came out Sunday night.
Now here are some highlights from this weekend’s games:
Oklahoma State 38, Texas 26
Make no mistake about it, I am a fan of the Big 12. Even with all the turmoil surrounding the drop out assholes like Nebraska and Colorado, I still think the Big 12 is one of the best conferences around. So, as I scanned the NCAA Men’s Basketball Top 25 this morning, something hit me. The Big 12 is OWNING college basketball this year. Yep. Owning.
Wait. On second thought. The Big East is OWNING college basketball this year. Shit. I was all high on a hog thinking that the Big 12 was doing something large by having 3 teams in the top 10 and a total of five in the top 25. Then I actually looked at the top 25. The Big East has three teams in the top 10, but a total of seven in the top 25. Damn. Once again, the Midwest is foiled by the East Coast.
This got me thinking again. And as you know, that is usually a bad thing. Combined, the Big 12 and the Big East own more than 50 percent of the top 25 right now. I know the season is still young, but my gut feeling tells me it’s going to be a Big 12/Big East showdown come Final Four time. As always, I am biased so I am pretty sure that the Big 12 would win that match up. Hell, I wouldn’t care who wins as long as the winner has nothing to do with the ACC. *Ahem* Duke*Ahem* Cough*You suck*Cough*
Anyway, who do you think is the more dominant conference? Any early projections for your tourney bracket? What say you internets? Talk to me.
Brittney Griner, the 6′ 8″ Freshman from Baylor who dunks, got suspended this week after punching Texas Tech’s Jordan Barncastle in the head.
Barncastle left the game with a broken nose.
See?
It would appear that women are totally ready to play in the NBA.
