Random College Football thoughts

1. The season is over except for the bowl games. It feels like it just started.
   
2. It was a tough year for us LSU Tiger fans/alums. What a meltdown after a BCS championship. I blame the defense. Despite their faults, the offense managed to score enough points to win throughout the season. They simply could not stop anyone. I predict significant defensive coaching changes. Fortunately...
3. My adopted college team, the Sooners, look pretty hard to beat. They'll play for the National Championship but they have to play Florida. That's nobody's idea of a good time.
   
4. Now that Penn State is back in the upper ranks, I'm reminded of how ugly their uniforms are. I guess the home uniforms with the blue jerseys look OK, but the unadorned all-white road gear is ugly. Can't they afford to get those boys a STRIPE at least? How about getting them Nittany Lion decals for the helmets?
5. If you're not playing in the SEC or Big 12, you better run the table. A PAC 10 or Big 10 schedule with a loss or two isn't going to cut it. Teams in other conferences are going to need to beef up their non-conference schedules because winning your way through your conference with a couple of added patsies isn't going to compare with what Florida, OU, Alabama or Texas managed to do. See here.
6. We can still dream of a playoff. OU, Bama, Florida, Texas, Penn State, USC and a couple of others. That would be a lot of fun. Too bad we won't see it.
