Game Day Live Blog: Don't let the season get away from you

By Matt Hinton

We're well into the stretch run, all of a sudden, and today could be one of the major hinge days of the year. The Big Three unbeatens all have tough dates that shouldn't offer too many opportunities for coveted 'style points': Alabama is at LSU, Penn State at Iowa, Texas Tech is hosting Oklahoma State, and coming out with the '0' intact in the loss column should be stylish enough. Impressing voters on top of another win is gravy.

The Doc's Agenda
Noon: Ohio State at Northwestern (ESPN2), with an eye on Baylor at Texas (FSN) and Michigan at Minnesota (ESPN).
Afternoon: Alabama at LSU (CBS), with a very close eye on Penn State at Iowa (ABC/ESPN), and Oklahoma at Texas A&M (ABC/ESPN) or Stanford at Oregon (FSN), if things get really desperate.
Evening: Oklahoma State at Texas Tech (ABC), with an eye on Cincinnati at West Virginia (ESPNU), Notre Dame at Boston College (ESPN) and Florida at Vanderbilt (ESPN2), if it's close late.

What: Game day live blog, all games in play, all comments welcome (but especially the snarky, irreverent variety).
When: Blog kicks off along with first round of games at Noon Eastern.
Why: Beautiful fall Saturdays are for communion with like minds, connected by ... wires ... and, you know, tubes ... and stuff. Be at one with your virtual brethren.
Who: You and all your rowdy friends, and your more deliberate and socially responsible comrades, as well. Everyone is welcome: just hit 'Watch Now' and join the fray.

    No punts and a major throbing against a solid #9 team, how is Texas Tech not #1.

    USC should not be in the top ten. They are not even the top team in the Pac 10. They lose at home to an unranked team. The other top one-loss teams lost on the road to ranked teams (except PSU - please, no Big Ten this year). The other top one-loss teams also have a tougher schedule. USC is so overrated, and they are fair weather phonies. Why won't they play a decent team from cold-weather states during cold weather season (remember when McKay's teams couldn't be Notre Dame at Notre Dame in November, so USC now plays ND at ND in OCT yet still play the home game in NOV)? When was the last time USC played in the snow? USC, fair weather phonies in a conference weeker than the Big Ten, and that's week.

    We now could be looking at an Oregon State - Penn State rematch Rose Bowl if both win out.
    I'll bet the boys in Pasadena are thrilled with that.

    If you don't think USC should be in the top 10 why the hell would Alabama be #1? They have played subpar teams and barely won against a crappy LSU team that could do nothing on offense because Lee can't throw anything accurately.
    Who has Alabama beaten that is any good? Lsu as we have seen in the past few weeks aren't very good. Georgia isn't that great either and barely squeeked by Kentucky.
    If the Sec is so strong why is one of its supposedly best teams (Georgia) barely beating one of the weakest pac 10 teams (arizona state) 27-10?
    The pac 10 might be down this year but the Sec isnt that great, if anything it just shows how strong the big 12 south is. That is your power conference this year.
    Stop trying to act as if the SEC is so good while USC and the pac 10 is so bad.
