Yes, College Football is the best. Why Do you Ask?

Of course the College Football gods do this to us. So called "Monster weekend" is a relative dud, while week 3 (dud week) electrifies and invigorates the spirits of college football that had yet to be brought out this year. I'll quickly go through some of the games that caught my eye this beautiful saturday.

Arkansas @ Georgia: Mark Richt...

I had Arkansas winning this game, but in a different way. Once ARK got up on the bulldogs 24-10 I began to calm down and know that at least one of my noon picks went right. Georgia came surging back, though, and gave Arkansas a run for their money. Ryan Mallett looked like a robot nearly the entire game. His passing mechanics are nearly flawless as he was able to get his first ever road win in the SEC. I learned to be scared of Arkansas' playcalling (in a good way). I also learned to be scared for Mark Richt. The coaching was nearly non-existent in the last few moments of the game when composure was greatly needed. The forces that be in Georgia may not be feeling the same way they did just two years ago.

Oh yeah... Joe Adams is REALLY GOOD

Maryland @ West Virginia

West Virginia likes making things interesting, but Maryland is quite alright sticking with a double-digit loss. Thanks but no thanks Coach Stewart.

UCONN @ Temple

TEMPLE IS FO REAL. Oh and as for UCONN... the only success thus far in the year was to brainwash Kirk Herbstreit. If anyone can do it, the fine gentlemen from Stoors, Connecticut can.

P.S. Jordon Todman likes getting help from teammates. Just something to think about in the future.

Alabama @ Duke

Alabama is good

Clemson @ Auburn

Kyle Parker fought through seemingly horrible pain to just come up short against the Auburn Tigers. Without that limp, would he have gotten that touchdown in the endzone? One can only wonder. Gritty effort by the ACC boys, but they just come up short (like all ACC teams in big games) against a potent offensive attack led by Cam Newton. 17-3 heading into the half is nothing for Cameron as the home team brings glory to the SEC. Kickers are skitzo's

Notre Dame @ Michigan State

Mark D'Antonio has balls of steel, and Brian Kelly likes that. Kelly is a class act. While I have a hard time rooting for Notre Dame 13 weeks of the year, Kelly makes me appriciate the team that much more. Only problem thus far at ND: He's a bit wacky with play calls.. very liberal.
