Was Saturday a crazy day or what?
Here was the top five going into yesterday:
Oklahoma
Alabama
Missouri
LSU
Texas
Texas beats Oklahoma, Alabama is idle, OK State beats Missouri, and Florida beat LSU.
So what happens now? Alabama takes over #1? I’d say you can’t say they were the second best team to Oklahoma last week, but now they’re behind someone else because they didn’ do anything to suggest that. But, the writers don’t tend to use logic. (note: Ohio State is 6-1. They lost to #1 USC. They’re ranked outside the top ten. No other high ranked team has lost to a higher ranked team like that, so I assume OSU will be a top five team this week. ((yeah right)))
I’m guessing Texas will be #1, Alabama #2.
But those weren’t even the best news out of Saturday. Who saw Toledo beat Michigan? Was there anything better than that ending? Toledo muffs the clock management, Michigan drives down the field and sets up a field goal. 26 years. From the right hash. The dude then proceeds to pull the ball further left than than should be physically possible and somehow pushes the ball 35 yards left from 26 yards and misses giving Toledo the win.
Rich Rodriguez’s face should be a poster. That “I can’t believe I had to pay WVU $4million to go 2-4″ face. I’d buy a poster like that for every room in my house.

Check out these fantasy football matchups this week:
In the league where I’m 2-3, I face the guy (frequent commenter and dolphins fan) who is 1-4 with a scoring average that is about 20 points per week lower than anyone else. The guy has scored 10 and 17 points already this season. Two weeks ago I lost a heart breaker when Heath Miller let me down. I lost by 5 points. Last week I lost a heart breaker by 6 points. If I lose this week I’m just going to hang it up. But get this, the matchup is dead even. I’ve scored the most points in the league, my opponent has scored the least and yet somehow after two heart-breaking losses I get a matchup where we’re both projected at 59 points. It’s enough to give me heart burn.
In the league where I’m 4-1 (after another heart-breaker last week to my brother of all people who was 0-4 at the time…ugh), I’m projected at 107 points and my opponent is projected at 37. I don’t think I’ve ever been favored by 70 points. The opponent has 2 QBs, one is on bye and one isn’t playing due to injury. And that’s just the start of his problems. I left a message saying the league should take my franchise away if I can’t cover a 70 point spread.
So here’s how my sunday is going to go:
1. I’m going to hopefully watch the points pile up in my ESPN league so I can at least get close to covering those 70 points.
2. I’m going to worry myself all day long about my matchup with Jake in the yahoo league. I can’t say for sure how I’ll react if I lose, but it could very well involve 15 big macs and going off the diet. I always feed my depression.
