* Auburn will probably finish 8-5 again and get trounced by Alabama. I don’t really care for Gene Chizik and I found it interesting that in his 14-0 National Title season his peers declined to vote for him as SEC coach of the year. Mark it down, Auburn will be looking for a new coach December of 2013.
* Up 43-10 over Navy, Notre Dame had the ball at Navy’s 9 yard line at 2nd and 1 with 40 seconds left. Instead of showing some class and taking a knee, Brain Kelly ran it in creating the final score 50-10. I know Brian Kelly and Notre Dame take a lot of criticism and thus want to show the sceptics they are still relevant and it is always nice to beat up on a rival, but there was an opportunity to do a small thing the right way. A BIG thumbs down on anyone that runs it up on a service academy.
* All these games against Division I-AA teams are a joke. The Criminoles are playing TWO games against lower division opponents. If the Noles are in the hunt for the BCS Title game at the end of the season, I hope voters take into account that weak non-conference schedule.
Looking ahead:
* Florida at A&M and UGA at Mizzu should be very interesting games. I’m glad the schedule makers left the new guys at home for the openers. I have no idea who wins either of these games, but we should know a lot more about all four teams after Saturday.
* Can Dan Mullen and Mississippi State get another signature win and make this year special. Auburn has barely escaped the Bulldogs the last few seasons winning by 7 last year on the last play of the game and by three in 2010. I personally hope its MSU’s day.
* The rest of the schedule is pretty much crap. Conference games can’t get here soon enough.
