Dichotomy...

I was doing so well in my college bowl pick 'em game, but I'm now 5-5, thanks to UVA choking in the Smurf Bowl, and Toledo not showing up for the UConn matchup. I really thought UCLA could beat Wyoming. Maybe they were paralyzed by the sight of Wyoming's hideous uniforms. And Marshall? Come on! Even without Byron Leftwich, you guys are a better team than you showed Cincy. Dissapointing Herd, very dissapointing. But my favorite incorrect pick so far is Miami (OH) losing to Iowa State. Hey, guess what, Iowa State is now bowl eligible! With their win over Miami (OH), they now have 6 wins over Div. 1-A schools this year! Prior to the bowl game, ISU had 6 wins, but only 5 against I-A schools. They had to get a waiver from the NCAA to help fulfill the Big XII's commitments after Clemson and USC removed themselves from consideration, leaving 55 eligible teams for 28 games. So ISU stepped up and whined enough and got an exception made. Congrats on winning your bowl game to become officially bowl eligible jerks. Next up: The Fightin' Mike Prices of UTEP vs the Scandal-laden Buffs of Colorado. Go Miners! Also tonight: OSU vs OSU as Oklahoma State takes on Ohio State. Go Cowboys! Show the world how bad Ohio State is, again!
