Wow! what a game. If there was ever a time when everything in the world seemed to stop for a few seconds, it happened on Saturday when the University of South Carolina (headed by former UF coach Steve Spurrier) enter the SWAP to take on 8-1 Florida Gators. To say the game was an ugly one, is an understatement. I do not think there was one person in the city of Gainesville, who did not think we were going to lose that game, and it almost did in the last eight seconds of the game when USC tried to go for a field goal to win the game. A field goal that was ultimately blocked by the UF Gators.
However, I guess my only criticism of what happened Saturday are the effects that carried over onto Sunday evening. Where for some weird reason the UF Gators remain at #4 on the BCS standings, while USC~Southern California jumped from #7 to #3. The whispers that is going around the sporting community as of right now is that the whomever the winner of Ohio State/ Michigan will be going against the winner of the USC/ Notre Dame game. Meaning that even if the Florida Gators where to go all out and win it's last three games, that we would still have no chance to make it to the National Championship game in January.
I guess you don't hate the BCS until it comes around and screws your team.
So, here are some upsets and outcomes that are needed this weekend in order for the Gators to have a chance to play for the National Championship:
- Florida Gators will need to win against Western Carolina (a blowout of a score would be even better...no more close games guys!).
- Michigan needs to beat Ohio State
- Mississippi State needs to defeat Arkansas
- Cal needs to beat USC (by double digits)
- After being beaten by Cal, USC needs to come around and defeat Notre Dame. I don't see Notre Dame losing to Army this weekend.
...so this upcoming Saturday, we will see what teams falls and which one will rise to the top, but I have a feeling that Ohio State vs. Michigan game is going to be a great tight shootout.
Until Next Time,
