Univ of Nike

No doubt about it, Univ of Nike is an exciting team to watch, probably the most exciting team in the country. They have incredible speed and can score instantly from anywhere in any number of ways. Thus despite being 24 pts down late in the 3rd Q to a USC team soundly outplaying them, they came back to get within 3, admittedly helped by a couple of self-inflicted turnovers by the Trojans. They had a chance to tie for overtime as time ran out but the kicker hooked it left. USC wins 38-35.

Meanwhile Baylor beat Oklahoma on the last play, first win ever over the Sooners. So the BSC 2, 4, 5 and 7 teams lost. Wow. Alas, this looks like an LSU - Alabama rematch for the title unless more upsets are ahead of us. All of this actually is yet more argument for a playoff system. A playoff system! Why is this so hard to understand?

Feel good about making plans for Thanksgiving.
