Mid-Season Thoughts

Well, I haven't been a weekly contributor to my blog, as I had hoped. In fact, I had to go back and reread what I previously wrote to see what my thoughts on the season were prior to the first kick off. Well how did I do? Let's see.

  • +1 for predicting Bama would lose a regular season game. SC had their number, and the ol' ball coach beat down Saban thanks to the one perfect game by Garcia. Here's hoping Bama refocuses and gains their swagger. If they don't, I'll be plus two.
  • +1 for a QB winning the Heisman. I think this will still happen. Pryor, Robinson,Moore, and Newton are my top candidates right now.
  • 0 for the spread dying. It's not dead yet, but it's not what it was. Let's see how it fares the second half of the season.
  • +2.5 for USC(+1), the Irish (+1), and the Big Ten (+.5) being disappointed. The Buckeyes, undefeated and sitting atop the polls are not projected to be #1 in the BCS. Guess they need to play the type of schedule Bama just finished (which doesn't get any easier).
  • 0 points for announcers. I am just glad when they get names right.
  • -.5 for doubting the BCS title game could have Boise or TCU in it. It may happen, and I, like many football fans, may not watch.
  • -1 for even mentioning Masoli. Who cares? I should deduct another point for not mentioning the Mad Hatter in my first blog. He's the most interesting character in the SEC.
  • 0 for UT. That program is on the verge of shambles. If you're a praying man, start praying for Dooley.
  • +3 for Cobb scoring in multiple ways (QB, RB, WR, Special Teams). He is a stud and UT has to watch in jealousy each week.
  • -2 for Colt who ... Brantley who?

Well, my score at mid-season is a solid 4, which symbolizes two safeties. Maybe the "4" signifies there will be 4 undefeated teams at the end of the season, who knows.

Looking forward to the SEC West race. This division is better than any other league. Auburn, Arkansas, Alabama, and LSU all have the right to play for the national championship, via a bracket tournament.

So what are your thought?
