| A tough call this weekend. USC v. Notre Dame. Question is, who do I want to lose more? If USC wins, they're still able to back into a BCS bowl, and we might have to hear them talked about as national championship contenders for the rest of the season <gag>. If Notre Dame wins, Charlie Weis gets to act even more pompus and arrogant, and we have to hear for the rest of the year about how ND is back, and how great Pretty Boy Clausen is.
Both of these are crappy scenarios. But I think USC will probably lose at least one more this season; they're just not that good.
Therefore: Go SC!

| A great observation from the Omaha World Herald's Mitch Sherman:
"It's hard to imagine a defensive player anywhere more dominant than Suh right now.
He continues to display incredible power. It will be interesting to ask Bo Pelini or defensive coordinator Carl Pelini next week if they believe Suh gets called for more penalties because of that freakish strength.
When Suh makes a hit, the ball carrier often moves violently in a way you just don't see – almost as if he's been hit by a truck. Officials seem to react more quickly to a Suh tackle because it just looks different.
Case in point: He didn't deserve a 15-yard personal foul for tackling Blaine Gabbert illegally in the fourth quarter. The call was for a horse-collar tackle. Replays showed Suh grabbed all jersey with his powerful hands, but you simply don't expect a 6-foot-5 QB to fall so hard in that spot."

| Look, it's simple, really.
Nebraska took #5 Virginia Tech to the wire, and but for a 74-yard opening kick off and one busted long bomb pass play, dominated an explosive, talented national championship contender.
Missouri was taken to the 4th quarter by Nevada. Nevada is currently 1-3.
Things may be close for a while this Thursday evening due to jitters and adrenaline, but by the middle of the third quarter NU will have blown this game wide open.

| "Shocked" and "Stunned" are overused by sports writers. Everytime someone loses, they are either shocked or stunned. It's annoying.
