-Why do TV execs allot only three hours for college football games on ESPN and other channels when it seems like every game is at least three and a half hours long these days?

-Fun Stat of the Week:  Clemson's opponents' first drive yardage:

-4, -16, -4, -4, 0, 2, -9, 0

Yup, only one team has managed to have positive yardage on their first drive against Clemson this season.  I know that's a worthless stat, but pretty impressive nonetheless.

-Former FSU and current Vikings backup QB Christian Ponder and his wife, ESPN reporter Sam Ponder, named their daughter Bowden.  As in Bobby Bowden, Christian's college coach.  Somehow I feel like that's a weird name to give your daughter.  A son?  Sure, but not your little girl.

SEC West v. SEC Least Update!!!

No teams from the West played the East this week, but that doesn't mean something funny didn't happen.  The only ranked East team (Georgia) got whipped pretty good by a Florida team that got beat 42-13 in their most recent game.  On top of that, South Carolina (the preseason favorite to win the division) blew their third 14-point 4th quarter lead of the season to Tennessee.  Can the East get worse?  Stay tuned!

-Well, I only got one pick correct last week.  One.  And I had to have a miracle fumble at the end of the game just to get that one.  This funk is really starting to get on my nerves.  I honestly don't know how to fix other than to make my picks and then do the complete opposite.  So that's exactly what I did this week and we will see what happens (okay, I tried to do that and found myself picking against myself just so I could do the opposite, so I abandoned that idea and will not just pick normally even if that fails).  I guarantee a winning week or your money back for real this time.

-Last Week's Funniest College GameDay Sign:

"In case you don't get it, it's funny b/c West Virginia fans burn couches after big wins.  Why?  I'm guessing moonshine and incest make you do stupid things like burning couches."

-Alright, enjoy the eleventh week of college football.
