College Football Week 5: Upset Nation

Last weekend I gushed about how good Oklahoma looked. This Saturday they go out and lose 27-24 to Mike Wall's Colorado Buffaloes (for the record, I saw Colorado play Oregon once, and running your mascot around the stadium like you're at a rodeo before the game starts has to be the stupidest school tradition EVER). Anyhow, 5 top 10 teams lost in college football this weekend. Dennis Dodd says that means "there are no great teams." I think it proves, once again, that anyone can win anytime, anywhere. Appalachian State beating Michigan to open the season proves that. Heck, Oregon beating Michigan proves that.

Anyway, it's been a pretty bad weekend. The Mets completed a world class collapse (wave bye bye to the playoffs), Oregon tanked it in the fourth quarter versus Cal, and as I write this I have one point in the office football pool. Whoopidy-Do! See you next week.
