35-0, 9-0, #1

Arkansas State was not the real threat. The real threat is believing the press clippings.

Alabama is Number 1 in the polls for the first time since 1980. We’ll see if Alabama can stay focused. With LSU this weekend, Auburn two weeks after that, then more than likely Florida in the SEC Championship – the road is far for done.

Texas Tech played lights out and jumped over Penn State in the rankings. I don’t have a problem with that. Penn State is a good team that really has only played one other good team – Ohio State. Yes, they have Michigan State left but is anyone really going to compare them to Florida, LSU, Oklahoma State or Oklahoma? I don’t think so.

In other sweetness – USC wins a blowout shutout and falls two spots. There is justice in college football after all.

The bottom line for Tide fans is this – IT ISN’T OVER YET!!!! Yes, they are starting to play their best football of the year right now – which is awesome. But one loss sends this thing into mass chaos.

There is a part of me that wishes it would send it all into chaos. They way the FBS picks a national champion is ridiculous and it’s the only division that does this. Can you imagine Alabama, Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Florida, and Oklahoma State all finishing with one loss? Then trying to pick which team is the best out of that mix? Any one of those teams would destroy Penn State or USC.

But for now…time to focus on Tigers.
