Weekend Observations
You'll have to bear with me this Monday, my "weekend observations" are kind of hazy because I kept trying to drown my football sorrows and quite frankly, wasn't in the mood to observe much this weekend.

College football is such a fun and wonderful sport but it befuddles me (thanks Charlie Tuna) how the Vegas peeps can pick the spread for these games. Who would have thought that Virginia Tech would completely manhandle Clemson last Thursday night? Your Chica got a lot of smack from everyone I saw this past weekend because I picked Clemson to beat Va Tech but who would have thunk it???

Speaking of smack talkers, you know it's a down year for Miami when there is a bar full of Hurricane fans gathered and not one of them is talking shmack (this is a made up word)!

I know Larry Coker is a nice guy but after reading his post-game comments, I just want the guy gone! It's no wonder he can't motivate this team. Exhibit A: the field goal kicker doesn't know how to kick an onsides kick for pete's sake! I think my little dog Zoe (awww) could do a better job at it. La Chica is done on this subject!

The only cool thing about being at the Miami/Ga Tech game was the pre-game. Immediately after the national anthem was played, 2 fighter jets came roaring across the sky right over the stadium. It was AWESOME. La Chica got chills! This should be done for every game.

USC lost! That's pretty much all I need to say.

Ah, the BCS. As I've said since the year 2000 when my beloved team was screwed by the system after beating Florida State but yet the Criminoles jumped Miami in the BCS and got to play in the national championship game, eventually every team will get screwed by the BCS! Something's gonna happen again this year if a team like West Virginia goes undefeated but a team like Florida starts screaming because they're in the SEC. I'm just saying.

And why shouldn't a team like West Virginia go to the title game if they're undefeated? Don't forget, they beat a good UGA team in the Sugar Bowl earlier this year!

Here are the current BCS top 5 standings:
1. Ohio State .986
2. Michigan .969
3. West Virginia .786
4. Florida .779
5. Louisville .762

This is what I need explained, how can Florida jump Auburn when the Tigers beat the Gators? They're both in the SEC so it's not the conference strength. What a stupid system!

Here's the thing, if you look at the percentage differences between teams 1 and 2 and the rest of the teams, it's HUGE! Don't be surprised if the loser of the Ohio St/Michigan game still gets to play for a national championship! That's how jacked up this system is. Come to think of it, since La Chica has nothing to cheer for this season this makes me happy. Let the bitchin' begin!
