college football wrap up week 12 and some other things

Well CMU did win Wednesday, and that sets up the big game vs Ball State on Wednesday, again on espn2, check it out, if you want to watch some great football, as the game will decide who wins the mac west, and thus who will win the mac title game on dec 6. Other things that happened this week:

-USC got their payback, but might still not win the pac 10, the beavers need to lose. I really want to see USC play in a big game in a bcs bowl, because they are talented, and they get up for big games.

-FL is sick, how in the blue hell did they lose to ole miss at home. That is the thing, they are so good, and they are just killing everyone now, so how do you let that happen. If you look at the entire season, they still have the worse loss of any of the one loss teams, and most of the two losses for that matter. That was just a bad loss, but they still will play for a national title as long as they win out.

-Texas is good, and can actually get some help from their rival, as long as OK beats Texas Tech.

I would love to see Texas, OK, USC, FL, Bama, PSU, Texas Tech, and Utah in a 8 team playoff.... that would look like this right now.
Tech vs Utah
Bama vs PSU
Texas vs USC
FL vs OK
I think Tech, Bama, USC and FL would win, setting up national semi's that would look like this.
Tech vs USC
Bama vs FL
I think USC would win, and we will find out about FL and Bama on dec 6, the way they are playing right now, I would have to give it to FL. Setting up FL vs USC for the national title, which would be the two most talented teams by far, and should be a great game.... anyway, back to real life

-The winner of the big 12 title game will play the winner of the sec title game, and that is that.

-I hope MSU finds a way to beat PSU this week, but knowing them as I do, and watching them do this for many many years, I really see no chance they are winning this game in happy valley.

-Michigan lost to Northwestern, that is great, 3 wins, wow... I will give everyone some time to laugh...... but, know this,
they will be back, they will be fine, they will get more of rich rod's players in, and guys who can play his system, they are still a top program, they are just down right now, they will be back. It does make me laugh though.

Moving on to other things... today is the first day of high school practice for boys basketball in the state of Michigan, which is great, cause that means I am back to coaching my boys at Mt. Pleasant. We have won 3 district titles in a row, and got to 3 regional finals in a row, loosing to the state champs every year, so we have some work to do, to get back there. But we have the best player in the state, so we have a chance. I just love basketball season. Speaking of basketball.

The Pistons are 7-3 right now, and yes, 3-3 since AI has been playing. But of those ten games, 8, yes, 8 were on the road. So this was a tough start. The bad game vs the Suns last night was not surprising, coming off a big win over the Lakers, 3rd game in 4 nights, all on the west coast, no big deal. Not to mention it is nice to get that trip to LA and to PHX out of the way early. This will only help us later on. We got the Cavs on Wednesday and then the Celtics again this week as well, so these are nice test for us. I am happy with 7-3 right now. The team will continue to gel and be fine. Also tonight CMU basketball has their home opener vs mizzu state, who is coached by the ex Purdue great and former assistant conzo martin, so that should be fun. Hopefully they can get another win, after a nice road win on Friday at Princeton. I'm right, you're wrong.
