The last two weeks of college football have been rather upsetting. Allow me to explain.
Upsets, it is what drives the sports fan. Next to winning the championship, a major upset is the next best thing. And the last two weeks of college football have been full of them.
Last week Oregon St. beat 9.Arizona, 23.Florida State over 13.Miami and of course 19.South Carolina handled 1.Alabama like it was nothing.
And compared to this week, last week was the calm before the storm.
Miss St. beat 19.Florida, San Diego St. beat 23.Air Force, Hawaii beat 19.Nevada, Kentucky beat 10.South Carolina, Washington beat 24.Oregon St., Texas beat 5.Nebraska and the #1 fell again for the second straight week by double digits, the assassin this time was 18.Wisconsin and the victim, 1.Ohio State.
All these upsets also lead to the fact that TCU and Boise St will only move up in the polls. Which I am a fan of. Who isn't,I did just finish talking about upsets and how everyone loves them. And I know you bought into it. Enjoy the sport for what it is, not only the pure competition bought all of the emotions and stories that come with it.
wooohooooo!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your post! I personally didn't realize HOW MANY upsets there have been recently. It looks like you took a big-picture view on why the upsets are good (i.e. "championship-level" excitement early in the season is awesome...at least if you're team was the underdog!). I like it.
ReplyDeleteGo Huskies! First USC and then OSU - both ranked when defeated!
