Big Blue in the Big Easy

The struggling Giants will meet Drew Brees and the Saints in New Orleans. The Giants have lost two straight and are still sitting on top of the NFC East with the Cowboys. The Giants need this win to keep up with Dallas who is hitting its stride. The Saints are fresh off a bye. They have been averaging 31.3 points a game. Jonathan Vilma is questionable with a knee injury. The Saints are 4-0 at the Superdome. The Falcons are 1/2 a game out of first place behind the Saints. The Saints do have the advantage with a win over Atlanta in OT. It will be a back and forth game, but the Giants will somehow manage to pull it out in the last couple of moments. Manning is one of the best 2 minute drill Quarterbacks in the league. This will be a huge momentum builder for the Big Blue. The fans in the Big Easy will come happy and leave sad.

Rivalry Recap

The college football world is still in a frenzy. Things cleared up a little yesterday. Alabama destroyed Auburn 42-14 in the Iron Bowl. They are set up to play in the National Championship but not even play in their conference championship. LSU will face Georgia in the SEC Championship. Even if LSU loses, they will still most likely be in the National Championship. Virginia Tech will play in the ACC Championship against the only team to defeat them, Clemson. Tech demolished Virginia yesterday 38-0. Frank Beamer has his team playing some of the best ball in the country. I truly believe they can keep up against an Alabama type of team. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State will battle it out next week to see who wins the Big 12. Wisconsin and Michigan State will go at it for the Big 10 Championship. Oregon and UCLA will be in the PAC-12 Championship. UCLA got demolished yesterday against their crosstown rivals, USC, 50-0. Here is my top 15 teams in the country:

1. LSU- They are just monsters on defense and one of the best teams people will see in a long time.

2. Alabama- It was a big win for the Tide, they also managed to get lots of style points.

3. Virginia Tech- They are hitting stride and are destined to win the ACC Championship.

4. Oklahoma State- Not playing this week will hurt them. They have a big game in Oklahoma next week.

5. Houston- Keenum keeps on putting up big numbers as the Cougars keep on rolling.

6. Stanford- Luck and the Cardinals rolled against the Fighting Irish in their new uniforms.

7. Oklahoma- They have a big matchup against OSU to decide the Big 12.

8. Oregon- The Ducks defeated Oregon State in the Civil War. Next up: PAC-12 Championship v.s. UCLA

9. Arkansas- The Razorbacks have two losses to the two best teams in the country. Only faith knows the way.

10. Boise State- They failed to win the Mountain West. Moore only has one more game as a Bronco.

11. Michigan State- Have a big game against Wisconsin. The Badgers want revenge.

12. South Carolina- Got a huge win over their rivals clemson.

13. Georgia- Will face LSU in the SEC Championship.

14.Wisconsin-MSU will have a tough time against the Badgers. Two deep passes decided the Badger's season.

15. Michigan- Brady Hoke is a hero. The Wolverines got their first win over Ohio State in 8 years.

BCS Madness

The college football world has had one of the craziest 48 hours in a long time. After three top 5 teams fell, the BCS rankings will change dramatically. Oklahoma State went down on Friday night at Iowa State. The Cowboys defense was not that impressive. Iowa State did outsmart Mike Gundy and the entire Oklahoma State coaching staff. Robert Griffin III went off last night on Oklahoma as Baylor got their first ever win against the Sooners. The Bears got a few lucky plays, but they really have one of the best offenses in the nation. Kendall Wright is the most underrated Wide Receiver in all of college football. He is an absolute game changer. Bob Stoops did call a questionable timeout late in the game when Baylor was trying to run the clock out and go to Overtime. The #4 team in the nation also went down. USC stunned Oregon last night in Eugene. Oregon had a lot of silly mistakes. They fumbled the ball with 18 seconds left to go in the 1st half when they were in field goal range. They also had a blocked kick that lead to three points for the Trojans. Those were all of the big upsets this weekend. Here is how I think the top 10 should be:
1. LSU
2. Alabama
3. Arkansas
4. Virginia Tech
5. Oklahoma State
6. Houston
7. Oregon
8. Stanford
9. Oklahoma
10. Boise State

Palo Alto Showdown

The Oregon Ducks will travel to Palo Alto to take on Andrew Luck and Stanford. This game will decide the PAC 12 North. Stanford will clinch the North Division with a win. If Oregon wins, they control their own destiny. This will be Stanford's toughest test of the year. I think that Oregon will move up and down the field easily. Stanford's defense has been hyped too much. Oregon will have full control of this game. The Ducks will shock the Cardinal fans tonight. All college football fans will be watching when the Oregon Ducks battle Stanford in primetime.

Battle in Baltimore

In just a couple of minutes the Ravens and Steelers will battle it out on the gridiron. Pittsburgh is looking for revenge after they got demolished to open out the season. These two teams absolutely despise each other. Ray Rice has been the star for the Ravens this year. He actually grew up in the town right near me. He put up huge numbers in the first game in Pittsburgh. The Steelers are riding high on momentum after a big win against the Patriots. Haloti Ngata and the Ravens' defensive line will have a huge game. It will be a back and forth game, but in the end, the Ravens will get it done. The Charms City will be rocking tonight for the game of the week.
