Thoughts on College Football Week 5

Here are a set of random thoughts on the games played yesterday:
  1. LSU and Les Miles are riding one heck of a lucky streak. They are definitely not supposed to be 5-0 and by combination of luck, luck, luck and the inability of defenses to field 11 players at the right time, they in the ranks of the undefeated. I don't think this is going to last and might end as soon as the coming weekend at Florida.
  2. On the other end, Mack Brown and Texas are running dry on their luck and dropped their game against Oklahoma. I never expected Texas to overcome the 21-7 lead. Bob Stoops must be feeling good after being at the wrong end of the field the past few years. I expect Texas to drop their next game against Nebraska and perhaps against Texas A&M.
  3. Alabama deserves its No. 1 ranking going by the way they beat Florida. The result was never in question after the first quarter and Nick Saban is worth every dollar of his supposedly 4 million salary. The teams may meet again in the SEC championship game.
  4. Oregon is another team that had a good victory against Stanford. They never panicked when Stanford jump-started to a 21-3 lead and chipped their way back into the game and run them over in the 2nd half. Their game is a joy to watch when their offense start clicking. I would love to watch Oregon Vs Alabama play for the BCS Championship.
  5. Ohio State fans must be having an uneasy week ahead on the status of Pyror's hamstring injury. Looks like Pryor is a one-man offense for the Buckeyes and if he is injured and is not at his best, Ohio State's national title aspirations might as well be buried with tough road games coming ahead.
  6. Boise State is expected to "unfairly" drop down the polls the next few weeks. Its a shame if they do not end up playing for the National Title.
