And we're back . . .

I was only gone a week on vacation and look what happened around here . . .

Pitt loses to West Virginia on the final play of the game. And this just in . . . Pitt loses AGAIN to Cincy by one point after missing a PAT and then giving up the final TD with less than a minute to go. Not only do they lose, but they do so painfully. So much for the BCS bid.

Bobby Bowden steps down as coach at F$U. Thank God--I thought this would never end. Maybe he'll end up at Notre Dame . . . who else would want that job? I'd feel sorry for Weis but he's got enough cash on the buyout to never have to work again (oops, that would suggest he has been working) if he doesn't want to.

Penn State inched into the Top Ten again by attrition. What can I say? We do better when we don't play!

Can Nebraska upset Texas? Can we possibly have a BCS Title game without Florida and Tebow hype? Please Santa, make it happen.

I didn't get a chance to cast a blog poll ballot last week, but here's what it would have looked like:

1 Texas
2 Alabama
3 Florida
4 Cincy
5 Boise State
6 TCU
7 Oregon
8 Ohio State
9 Iowa
10 Penn State
11 Virginia Tech
12 Georgia Tech
13 Pitt
14 BYU
15 Miami (FL)
16 Houston
17 Southern Cal
18 Nebraska
19 Oklahoma State
20 LSU
21 Cal
22 Wisconsin
23 West Virginia
24 Stanford
25 Central Michigan
