Schadenfreude watch, 11/7/08

It's been a few weeks and we've one month left.  Some rankings have changed, so let's give it a go!

#1 Alabama is playing #15 LSU this week.  I heard something about there being some drama with this game...?  After this week, they have Miss St and Auburn; Bama did almost lose to Mississippi and Kentucky last month, so these games aren't gimmies. 

#2 Texas Tech gets #6 OK and #9 OK State before finishing with Baylor. 

#3 Penn St. gets Iowa and Indiana before #18 Michigan St. 

#4 Texas is done with ranked opponents, but have to face Texas A&M at the end. 

#5 Florida has no ranked opponents until the end of the month when they face #24 Fl State.

#6 Oklahoma will meet both #2 Texas Tech and #8 OK St after Texas A&M this week. 

#7 USC has #21 Cal this week and some big rivalry games at the end, ND and UCLA.  SC could be helped out a lot if Oregon and Cal both win out the rest of the year.  At least that's what Petros thinks...

#8 Utah is undefeated, tho they almost lost to Michigan in week 1.  They'll get #17 BYU after they party down at San Diego St. next weekend. 

#9 Oklahoma St. has another one of those big finishes to their schedule, with #2 Texas Tech and #6 OK coming up. 

#10 Boise St., Lords of WAC!  They're playing Utah St, Idaho, and Nevada before facing a competitor in Fresno St.  Hopefully they'll get their 7th bowl game in a row.

The best thing about being a Tide football fan is. . . . . .?

Saturday’s like today. You see, it’s pretty much a Yank-thing or an Auburn thing when it comes to loving Bama. But on special days like today- NO ONE EVER ROOTS FOR LSU! So, from a Tide perspective (in a roundabout kinda way) COLLEGE FOOTBALL FANS everywhere WANNA SEE ALABAMA WIN! (from all of what I’ve seen and heard all over the great ol’ US of A: LSU is THE most hated team in America. Bama isn’t too far behind, but that’s just ‘cause all the pastings they’ve put on everybody in the past decades of their glory)

Roll TIde!
Fight On!

I think you're right...

my brother in law is an LSU alum and even HE is rooting for Bama in this game, just so one team can be undefeated.

Wow!

That’s both funny AND tragic.

On the one hand, you have an alum rooting against HIS team to knock off a hated and undefeated inter-conference rival. (funny)

On the other, you have the very same alum rooting more for “the strength” of the vaunted SEC conference than he does for the potential bowl game berth his alma mater might end up with. (tragic)

The game just finished with JPW leaping over the pile for a 2 yd TD in OT. Bama takes down LSU. (and thank God. Les Miles is such a “meaux-ron”.
