More Knee-Jerk Reactions

I love the SEC. Every game is a war. Every game may as well be the Super Bowl.

I'm sitting here watching Auburn play LSU. These two teams are knocking each other around. How did Auburn lose to Mississippi State? They later went to the Swamp and beat Florida, and may do the same thing to LSU in this game.

Every team in this league can beat the others on a given day, except for maybe Ole Miss. And, Ole Miss nearly beat the mighty Gators earlier in the year. Vandy went into the Chicken Coop and beat the South Carolina Gamecocks today.

The SEC East is a circus. Every team in that division has lost at least two conference games. It's not a matter of every team being horrible. Quite the contrary. Every team in that division is pretty good. Even Vanderbilt is no slouch. The division representative in the SECCG will most likely be determined by a tiebreaker.

In the West, the winner of this LSU-Auburn game will be tied with the Sabanists at Alabama for first place.

Forget the BCS. The winner of this conference should simply play an ACC or Big 12 South team for the national championship of the Confederacy.

Elsewhere, Nebraska is absolutely pathetic. The Fightin' Texas Aggies went up to Lincoln today and crushed the Huskers, 36-14. Dennis Franchione saved his job for another week. The Huskers have given up 81 points in their last two home games. Tom Osborne needs to go ahead and put Bill Callahan out of his misery. The Huskers may not win another game all season. They have remaining games against Texas, Kansas, Kansas State, and Colorado.

*Forget Auburn, at least for tonight. LSU was supposed to be setting up for a game-winning field goal. Instead, with one second left, LSU completed a 30 yard touchdown pass for a touchdown. LSU has destiny working for it. As a Sooner fan, I really would like to see our Crimson cousins take care of business against the Tigers next month in Tuscaloosa. I don't want us or anyone else to have to play LSU in New Orleans for a national championship.
