Vote For Bush...Reggie That is.

I'm a Bush man...I'm a huge Bush supporter. I'd vote for Bush...I think he is one of the greatest... Just in case you think I've gone crazy, I'm speaking of Reggie...not Dubya who is the front runner now for the Heisman trophy, sorry Matt you won't win a second Heisman. I'm not sure if you stayed up late to see it, most folks east of the Mississppi didn't see the bravara performance turned in by Reggie Bush of USC Saturday night against Fresno State. 513 all purpose yards and he was the reason that the Bulldogs didn't pull off the shocking upset. Fresno State gave the Trojans all they could handle and then some. But in the end they had no answer for Reggie Bush and USC stayed unbeaten with a 50-42 shootout win. For all the naysayers that are bleating that USC's exposed as a weak defensive team, you are giving no credit to a fine Fresno State offense. I warned you that USC wouldn't roll over the Bulldogs and the days of 30 and 40 point wins were gone. The Trojans get a week off to prep for UCLA and a win here gets them to the Rose Bowl. Texas still has to beat A&M and win the Big 12 championship in Houston on 12/3, which they should do. Watching the Colts-Bengals game Sunday was like watching a video game. The action was fast and furious and the scoring was almost non stop. In the end the Colts remained unbeaten and the Bengals gained a lot of respect. Coach Marvin Lewis bristled at the talk of a "moral victory" But short of a win this was the result the Bengals wanted. They lost, true but they did not disgrace themselves. They didn't play like the scared punks like they did against the Steelers and I think given the rematch, they can and will beat them.

Power 5
1) USC (11-0, last week 1, beat Fresno State 50-42, next 12/3 vs UCLA) Bush is a beast as Trojans outgun a game Bulldog squad, has a week off before date with arch-rival Bruins.

2) Texas (10-0, 2 off next vs Texas A&M 11/25 Post-Thanksgiving meeting with tradtional rival all that stands between Horns and history

3) LSU (9-1, 4 beat Ole Miss 40-7 next vs Arkansas 11/25) Remember these guys??? The Tigers throttle an overmatched opponent, win vs rival might get them to SEC Championship

4) Penn State (10-1, 5 beat Michigan St 31-22, next TBD) Joe Pa is too old, the game has passed him by. For the record, I never said it and the Nittany Lions are laughing their way to a BCS bowl game

5) Virginia Tech (9-1 NR, beat Virginia 52-14, next vs North Carolina)
Uh oh, its them Hokies again. Slammed in-state rival and win vs hapless Tar Heels gets them to ACC championship

Dropped Out Miami (9-2, 3 lost to Ga. Tech 14-10 next vs Virginia) Picked a bad time for offense to go brain dead, chances for outside shot at ACC title and BCS bowl bid shot to pieces

The Tigers can clinch a spot in the Southeastern Conference championship by beating Arkansas at home Friday. Virginia Tech will play Florida State in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game if the Hokies beat North Carolina on Saturday.
LSU is already ahead of Penn State in the polls, but the Tigers trail in the Nittany Lions in the computers. LSU’s computer rating could get a nice boost with a win over Georgia in the SEC championship game on Dec. 3 in the Georgia Dome.

The Turkey Day picks and predictions will be ready on Wednesday, the line for the game will be left off of the Thanksgiving Day game unless I can get the odds from ESPN. I'll add more info on the games on Friday. So if you see things change, you'll know why.
