1. One and Armaged-done. Since the SEC went to divisional play in 1992, the loser of the Tennessee-Florida game has appeared in the SEC championship game only twice. The season will be essentially over for someone by 8 pm Saturday. 2. 0-3's Company. Notre Dame and Michigan meet in Misery Bowl '07. The names suggest greatness. The records suggest Idaho versus Rice. 3. On The Other Hand. While Notre Dame wanders aimlessly, Tyrone Willingham has Washington on the upswing. A Huskie victory over the Buckeyes would expedite the return to relevance in Seattle. 4. Back to the Future. Nebraska gets a shot a announcing their return to contender status. A Husker win over USC would help justify Bill Callahan's new extension and raise. 5. Closing Time. Al Groh is in real trouble at UVA. A loss to North Carolina would seal his future termination. 6. O, Brother. Ed Orgeron is unquestionably on the hot seat. If the Cajun Caveman wants to remain the head Reb, beating teams like Vanderbilt is imperative. 7. Worst. Game. of. the. Year. Oklahoma appears to be as good as anyone. Utah State is certainly as bad as anyone. Their game in Norman Saturday has all the makings of a 77-3 classic. 8. It's Now or Never. Jim Harbaugh is trying to breathe life into Stanford Football. If the Cardinal don't handle San Jose State, 0-12 will be staring them squarely in the eye. 9. Times They Are A Changin'. Arkansas has parlayed Alabama's coaching deficiencies into a nice run against the Tide. Nick Saban gets the chance to reverse that trend in a Saturday night's reprise of one of the most consistently entertaining series in college football. 10. I Went Down To The Crossroads. Florida State and Colorado meet Saturday night in Boulder. The winner gets some momentum and hope. The loser takes up residence in College Football's Abyss for the remainder of the season.

two questions:

1. Do you really think Nebraska has a chance? Seeing the highlights of them take Nevada to school would say possibly. Watching the Wake game and how much they struggled makes me say not at all.

2. and most importantly. I've never been a fan of giving a coach an extension during the middle of the season. Especially after just one game. With the serious struggle last week, I believe that even more. So why on earth do you give the coach an extension before they play USC?

The ticker is certainly preferable to actually watching Notre Dame-Michigan.

Nebraska will need to be perfect, and get some help from SC, to win. I agree with your assessment about in season extensions. It's not like Callahan was going to head off to coach the Browns next week if they didn't extend his deal.

I maintain that Meyer is going to be heavilty re-recruited by Notre Dame. He's their best hope for resurrection of the program to competitive status. And we already know he has a soft spot for them.

i've yet to actually see USC play. But if they're even better than they were last year, and their highlights seem to indicate that, I think Nebraska needs a lot of USC help. Count me in with those that feel USC and LSU are heads and shoulders above everyone else in college football right now. and I am laughing at your answer for the contract extension. I actually told a cornhusker friend of mine it's not like he was going anywhere.
