i also realize this is now week 2 of college football, nothing like being fashionably late.
pretty predictable Saturday of football yesterday. i'm gonna be honest, i didn't pay attention to any of the games because the OU game was on pay-per-view and i was like FUCK THAT
AP and USA Today Top 25, Week 3
the weekend's notables:
1. unranked Oregon State upsets #10 Wisconsin 10-7 despite the Badgers' having star running back Montee Ball (who was fucking ASSAULTED by three men last week, true story). credit goes to Oregon State's defense — Badger quarterback Danny O'Brien was sacked three times lulz. Oregon State cornerback Jordan Poyer had this to say after the game: "The sky is the limit for us right now." to which i have to say, no honey, it's not. you're the Oregon State Beavers. let's calm down and remember that.
consequence: Wisconsin gets dropped from the AP rankings (fair), but stays ranked at #22 on USA Today (nonsensical)
2. unranked Louisiana Monroe (wut who) defeats #8 Arkansas in overtime 34-31. omg wuttttt. first of all, LA-Monroe is not real. they are part of the Sun Belt Conference aka nothing. Arkansas actually led 21-7 at the half, and then serious shit went down — the Razorbacks had to take their quarterback Tyler Wilson out after he suffered a head injury in the first half, and offense slowed down with their freshman back-up quarterback Brandon Allen because freshmen are the worst kind of people. LA-Monroe swooped second half and scored a touchdown in OT for the win.
consequence: Arkansas leaves the AP (yes) but is #21 on USA Today (once again wtf)
3. #22 UCLA defeats #16 Nebraska 36-30. what the hell, Big Ten? pretty close game throughout, but in the end UCLA got the edge by reading Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez pretty well. T-Mart had one interception but also had a 92-yard touchdown run which is pretty insane.
consequence: UCLA stays at #22 on AP, #23 on USA Today; Nebraska dropped completely from AP but is #24 on USA Today... wut
4. #24 Arizona swipes #18 Oklahoma State 59-38. LOL THIS IS HILAR TO ME. you would think OSU is struggling because they lost star quarterback 80-year-old Brandon Weeden to the NFL (jk he's like 30 or some shit), but no — OSU's freshman quarterback Wes Lunt threw for an insane 436 yards, a Big 12 record for a freshman. so where did the Cowboys go wrong? a shit ton of penalties kickstarted the whole thing: NINE penalties for 110 yards in the first half. gross. makes me happy. CONGRATS CHRIS KANG & CO.
consequence: Arizona stays at #24 in the AP, #25 in USA Today; Oklahoma State peaces out of both polls LULZ
in other news, Northwestern beat Vanderbilt (also, just look at this. plz. OH HAY TOM) so that's cool.
games to keep an eye on:
1. #18 Florida at #23 Tennessee. a fun rivalry sometimes called "The Third Saturday in September." Florida is hot off a tight win against Texas A&M (HAY AGGIES SUCK MY D) and Tennessee breezed through their first two games. prediction: Tennessee, 24-14
2. #2 USC at #21 Stanford. ew California, is all i have to say. obviously USC takes this one but their sluggish offense needs work. prediction: USC 30-24
3. #20 Notre Dame at #10 Michigan State. this actually really excites me (THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID, I KNOW. I SAID IT). i hate Notre Dame and i'm moving to Lansing, Mich. in like three weeks. and Notre Dame legit struggled against Purdue yesterday. go Spartans! prediction: Michigan State 45-20
k, that's it stay fabulous and stay bratty. oh wait that's a different blog
