Cal and Texas A&M game should be a pretty good one. As far as the Texas Bowl goes, I think Rutgers should win that one. Then again you never know. K State beat Texas in a close game toward the end of the season...granted Colt McCoy got hurt in that game, I think...still K State should cover the 8.5 point spread.
'Pokes looking like they're going to win this one. 'Bama looks terrible on defense. OSU: One of only 2 teams in the nation to average 200 yards rushing AND passing. Further proof that Les Miles is a great recruiter! I mean....OSU's head coach, Gundy, is beating 'Bama with MILES' TALENT! :thumb:
You know, I honestly don't think Saban will leave the Dolphins this soon. I mean, the guy is making a nice amount of money and has full control of the personel decisions--both things that he really wanted. However, there's one aspect of Saban that I can see coming out that might lead him to go to 'Bama and that's the fact that Saban is just never happy in one place for too long. Assistant coaching jobs aside, once Saban became a head coach, he went from mid-major (Toledo) to BCS (Michigan St). Then, he wanted to be a coach at a school that was "the big fish" in their state instead of having to compete at what is considered Michigan's second-best program. And when Saban had tramendous success at LSU and was without a doubt the leader of the top program in it's state, he leaves for the NFL where he has full control over everything. Now, unless Saban doesn't view his current job as enough of a challenge (making the playoffs, Super Bowl, etc.), then I can honestly see him changing at the blink of an eye and say, "I want the challenge of taking a program that is NOW 2nd-best in their state, and bringing them back on top." Look, I thank Saban for everything he has done for LSU. We certainly wouldn't be where we are today without him. But, and this isn't meant to be an irrational "dig" at the guy, but Saban's word apears to NOT be all that trustworthy; you never know when he's just telling you what you want to hear until the last minute where he doesn't have to deal with everyone questioning him about his abrupt decision. For 2 and a half years at LSU, all we heard was, "I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving" *BOOM!* "I'm going." And now, it's "I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving." ...but ESPN continues to claim that he's just saying that and that he's actually very much interested in the 'Bama job. He's kinda like the guy that ends up getting himself into trouble with girls because he wants EVERYONE to want him, but all he does is get people upset because he doesn't say what he really wants.
Terrible coaching lets OSU get a FG with 13 seconds to go.... Then uses all three time outs.... So, after the FG, on the ensuing kickoff, there is not a time out left for the time in between the change of possession
Oklahoma State scores on a 27 yard field goal with 13 seconds remaining and leads 34-31. (*maybe a flag)
