With no Georgia game this week, it was a little hard to get into the games. It didn't help that there weren't many good games on paper this week. Obviously, they don't play games on paper.
First of all, we have to give credit where credit is due. Georgia Tech is now in the driver's seat not only to win the coastal division of the ACC, but the entire league. Tech overcame some demons by beating Virginia yesterday, and Clemson upset Miami to give the Jackets the lead in the division. You never know what might happen, but it will probably be too much for Tech to get in the national title picture. They were ranked 12 last week and will probably be in the top 10 this week. Tech might be on a collision course with Big East Champions Cincinnati in the Orange Bowl.
Florida and Alabama managed to hang on yesterday although neither looked like the best team in the country. They obviously are the best teams, but each better get right because anyone can beat anyone in the SEC. Florida has Georgia next week in Jacksonville. The problem for the Dawgs is that this kind of rivalry game isn't prone to big upsets. The Gators will be ready to play the Dawgs, and don't think for one minute that the Gators don't still remember the antics of two years ago.
Iowa hung on at Michigan State yesterday, and with that win, the horror story for the BCS. Iowa would be killed by any of the Big 3 teams the nation would be robbed of a huge game with the likes of Florida, Alabama, Texas, and USC.
It's Cocktail Party Week! Get ready for Jacksonville.
