-How is Auburn ahead of Clemson in the BCS Standings?  If the Coaches' Poll, Harris Poll, and Computer Rankings each count for a third of the formula, then it should be mathematically impossible for Auburn to be ahead of Clemson in the BCS Standings.  Clemson is ranked 6th in the Coaches, 7th in the Harris, and 9th in the computer poll, and Auburn is 9th, 9th, and 7th.  That would average 7.33 for Clemson and 8.33 for Auburn and yet Auburn is ahead of Clemson.  Please tell me how that makes sense.  I have nothing against Auburn and in fact, every Auburn fan I have ever met are the most non-SEC fan you will ever meet (meaning they aren't dicks), but I still don't understand how they are ahead of Clemson in the BCS Standings.  Not that it affects Clemson in anyway, I just want an explanation.  And if this explanation involves more math more complicated than what I did, then forget it, I don't care anymore.

-Do you know why Waffle House's colors are yellow and black?  It's because the founder went to Georgia Tech.  And do you know why Hooter's colors are orange and white?  It's because one of its co-founders went to Clemson.  I thought those little tidbits were appropriate because those two teams are playing each other this week.  Knowledge is Power!

-Considering I started the weekend 0-4, I guess I'm pretty happy that I finished with a 2-4 record this week.  Sure, I didn't have a winning week, but that's what I get when I pick a game involving the schizophrenic Logan Thomas.  You really have no idea what the hell he's going to do from week-to-week.  Also, I'm still not sure why I picked Oregon to cover on the road in Stanford.  Oh well, I'll get back on track this week or your money back.

The Funniest Sign From Last Week's College GameDay

(This sign was sent to me by a buddy of mine and it wasn't at the GameDay in Tuscaloosa, but at the GameDay set up at Stanford on Thursday night and it really made me chuckle.  I did see a sign at the real GameDay that said "We Want Jacksonville" that I found funny because Alabama actually thinks they could beat an NFL team which would never happen.  They do realize that everyone on Jacksonville's roster was drafted and is a grown-ass man and Alabama has a roster full of guys that might be drafted and half of which are still teenagers?  In fact, I read an article that the Jaguars would be favored by 17 over Alabama and Jacksonville sucks really bad at football.)

(Back in Week 2, I told you guys my favorite sign from the first GameDay at Clemson said "Lou Holtz for Prethident" but couldn't find a picture of it.  Well, I finally found a picture of it......at this past weekend's GameDay in Tuscaloosa.  Way to be original, Bama fans.)

-Alright, enjoy the twelfth week of college football.
