Frankly, we are hoping that an upset happens somewhere that allows TCU to play for the National Championship. They deserve it. And if they get that chance, they clearly need to thank the Utah Utes for paving the way for that opportunity.
Notre Dame and Iowa continued their fall back to mediocrity. Notre Dame should really join the Big 10. That whole league is about being mediocre. I would take the Mountain West head to head with the Big 10 anyday.
Georgia Tech and the triple option continue to roll. Stanford is looking more and more dangerous with Gerhard running roughshod and Luck playing well. USC is in real trouble and the luster is finally dulling just a tad on Pete Carroll. (Although I am sure Colin Cowherd can’t tell since his head is still stuck up Pete’s ass) Miami is average. Nebraska’s offense finally showed up and Rutgers and North Carolina are looking good right now.
HelmetNation Week 12 Top 25
1) Florida – Took down Spurrier and the pesky Gamecocks as they continued their march to the SEC Championship game. They could play their 3rd string and win with a blow out this weekend. Up next: vs. Florida International
2) Alabama – Hammered Mississippi State as they continued their march to the SEC Championship game. They could play their 3rd string and win with a blow out this weekend. Up next: vs. Chattanooga
3) TCU – After watching the Horned Frogs tear up the Utes, this team might be the best in the country. Their speed is insane and they love to hit. This team is badass! Up next: vs. @ Wyoming
4) Texas – Dismantled Baylor. However, after having watched this team play a couple of times and having seen TCU, I think the Horned Frogs are clearly a better team. I couldn’t go along with all the other talking heads and just pretend that because Texas is in the Big 12 that they are better. Up next: vs. Kansas
5) Boise St. – I think TCU ups its lead over the Broncos. I think head to head TCU is clearly several levels above the Broncos. Boise did crush Idaho this past weekend, however. Up next: @ Utah State
6) Georgia Tech – Stomped all over the Blue Devils. Year 2 running the Triple Option (not Spread option as the announcers kept calling it) and no one seems to be stopping it yet. I doubt they will. Up next: vs. Georgia Nov. 28th
7) Cincinnati – Okay, I am not even a Bearcat fan, but that was a touchdown. He had control as the ball crossed the plane. Once the ball crosses the plane and it is a touchdown the play is dead. How hard is this? That being said, I think the Bearcats have some weaknesses and they could be exploited by Pittsburgh down the road. Up next: vs. Illinois
8) Pittsburgh – Continued the Irish slide. The game wasn’t as close as the score as the Panthers dominated the trenches. Up next: @ West Virginia
9) Oregon – Tore up the Sun Devils in a nice rebound from losing to Stanford. Up next: @ Arizona
10) LSU – Struggled with Tech in a game they clearly were overlooking. But they did put them away. Up next: @ Mississippi
11) Oklahoma State – Safely put away an up and down Texas Tech team. Defense stepped up to keep the Red Raiders at bay. Up next: vs. Colorado
12) Stanford – This team is really coming together and Gerhard is an absolute BEAST! Trashed the Trojans for a 2nd straight time in the Coliseum. Up next: vs. California
13) Utah – I don’t think this loss was so much an indicator of Utah not being as good as thought, but just how good TCU really is. Wynn played well as a true freshman and the Utes will bounce back. Up next: vs. San Diego State
14) Virginia Tech – Jumped out early and often on the Terrapins and beat them up. Up next: vs. North Carolina State
15) Ohio State – Needed OT to beat Iowa and their redshirt freshman backup QB. If anything, this game symbolized the pathetic parity of the Big 10. Up next: @ Michigan
16) Oregon State – This team has been quietly good. They just annihilated a tiring Washington team. Up next: @ Washington State
17) Wisconsin – Just rolled Michigan. Whoop – di – do. The Big 10 is so sad right now. Up next: @ Northwestern
18) Rutgers – Absolutely crushed the roller-coaster South Florida Bulls. This team is fast and athletic and hasn’t even reached their potential. They just keep Choppin Wood! Up next: @ Syracuse
19) Nebraska – Offense picked up the defense this past week and put away Kansas in the 4th quarter. If they can put both of them together they could be truly dangerous. The game this Saturday is for all the Big 12 North marbles. Up next: vs. Kansas State
20) Clemson – Spiller and the Tigers ran past the Wolfpack. Are they peeking late? You never can tell with the consistently inconsistent Tigers. Up next: vs. Virginia
21) Brigham Young – How does this team even let New Mexico hang with them? This Cougar team is also as inconsistent as I have seen in a while. Taking on the option won’t be easy for them. Up next: vs. Air Force
22) North Carolina – Put a beat down on the Hurricanes of Miami. The Tar Heels can play a little football too! Up next: @ Boston College
23) USC – I am not even sure this Trojan team should still be ranked in the Top 25 at all. I am probably being way to kind leaving them here. Pete Carroll finally has some work to do. Up next: vs. UCLA
24) Penn State – Again, beating up on Big 10 weaklings does nothing to impress us. Up next: @ Michigan State
25) Miami – So much for all the early season National Championship hype. This team seems fairly pedestrian to us. Up next: vs. Duke
