Big football day around the nation. There are local high school games in contention tonight, and championships around the country. Upsets abound. USC was whipped by Utah… Again. Kansas State edged out TCU, Michigan and Purdue are locked in a 7 to 7 match, and Georgia put 50 on LSU. What that means is that several of the top 4 are in contentious games. two lost, opening the door for others to slip in. Personally, I think the USC loss, while sad, is meaningless. They have two losses and both are to Utah. So, unless you plan to put Utah (rank 12) in the top 4, then it shouldn’t upset the balance at all. TCU lost to #13 K-State. Rough, but excusable. TCU is a one loss team. Allow their body of work to speak for itself.
Meanwhile in the SWAC, Jackson State wrecked Southern, cementing a 27-5 three year run with Sanders as the coach. They are well coached and loaded with talent. Now here is the question: If Deion goes to Colorado, how many of his dudes can come with him? How many will? He certainly brings a ton of flare and he has the connections to bring the top assistants with him. I think the kids will come. Colorado, if it is the squad, becomes Swag-U instantly. It will take a few for them to be a powerhouse, but they will win a lot more games.
