The Irish Heading to the Top of the BCS

All Notre Dame has to do is get past USC for a chance to get one of these

What a crazy college football weekend! The top two teams in the country go down which means my husband’s Irish will be number one in the BCS poll later today. One more hurdle- USC– to get through and the Irish are in the National Championship game. The last time Notre Dame was ranked number one was in 1993. Do you remember what was going on in 1993? Yeah me either, so this is a BIG FREAKIN DEAL!

Okay maybe not so much if you are a fan of Kansas State or Oregon– both who lost yesterday. I’m going to go over both the games so that when you discuss with your friends you sound like you know what you are talking about. I know, you’re welcome.

Oregon loses in Overtime to Stanford.

That blasted Cardinal coming in and beating Nike’s fashion show! The biggest story line from the game is going to be the controversial replay overturns of a touchdown for Stanford which tied the game late. In overtime Oregon’s kicker misses a field goal and Stanford makes its field goal.

Here’s my problem with Oregon- you choked when it mattered. The run game was stopped only having 198 yards and 40 carries- that is 127 yards below the season average. Instead of running the ball the Ducks tried to become a throwing team. Quarterback Marcus Mariota only completed half of his passes, threw an interception, and threw more on first down than he had the whole season.

Why Chip Kelly– why are you going to change the winning formula so close to getting to the big game? The Ducks are 5^th in the country for rushing yards and second for points. Didn’t see running or scoring this evening- and you deserve to not only be excluded from the National Championship Game but also the PAC-12 championship.

Number 1 Kansas State loses big to Baylor

Who would have thought Baylor would be the dream killer for Kansas St. Not I and not many others. But after yesterday’s game there is no denying that Baylor is a giant killer.

Kansas St’s quarterback Collin Klein was the Heisman front runner threw three interceptions and only had 39 yards on 17 carries. He did throw for 286 yards.

Baylor had a terrific game and it reminds me of them last year when they beat then 5^th ranked Oklahoma to stop the Sooners from a National title.

So what’s Next?

After yesterday Notre Dame will be number one and Alabama will return to the discussion and be ranked number two. The only thing Notre Dame has to do is beat USC- and right now that is a real possibility with Matt Barclay of USC being injured in the loss to rival UCLA.
