I slept late last night listening to the Michigan-Northwestern game. Michigan won though I expected the Wolverines to skin the Wildcats, it was nothing compared to what the Buckeyes did to the Golden Gophers. Michigan won 17-3. Ohio State won 44-0.
But truly, the biggest news this week doesn’t revolve around Michigan and Ohio State. USC got the honor, for the wrong reason if I might add; USC lost to Oregon 33-31. The loss changes a lot of things:
USC started the day as was one of seven unbeaten teams in the country. Now there are six.
Ohio State and Michigan won their games and will hold on to the top two spots in the Bowl Championship Series standings when they come out Sunday. That valuable spot behind the Big Ten powers, previously held by USC, is now up for grabs. All those teams with one loss are feeling a lot better about their chances to play for a national title. And Thursday’s Big East battle of unbeatens between West Virginia and Louisville just got a little bigger.
Enough of USC. I don’t love USC as much as I love…
…interception!
