Season Recap
A few weeks ago I posted that I expected LSU to go 2-2 over their last four games. With some “expert” clock management we managed to do just that. 
At 9-3 LSU should get invited to a good bowl game, but we’ll find out for sure later this week.
After all of the upsets for the past two years it was interesting to see the top teams stay the same for essentially the entire season this year. Florida will meet Alabama in the SEC title game. Texas meets Nebraska in the Big 12 title game. Assuming Texas wins, it seems a reasonable conclusion for them to face the SEC winner for the title game. If not, another Texas school TCU seems primed to jump into the title game. I can’t remember a season with six undefeated teams this late into the season… of course one of the top two is going to have at least one loss after the SEC title game.
LSU did manage to move up after their overtime victory (over Arkansas) since Pitt lost and Georgia took out Georgia Tech. I don’t quite get how Ohio State ended up back in the top ten… when did that happen? 
They haven’t beaten anyone of note and they’re playing in a weak conference. Oh, wait, it’s the annual “Big 10 schools move up because they’re not playing anybody anymore” push. 
As other teams lose, Big 10 teams move up into the gaps. I see Iowa and Penn State in the top 10 too. Would I pick a two-loss Ohio State team over a three-loss LSU team? Nope.
Texas Tech took out Bayler after a slow start, and Oklahoma spoiled Oklahoma State’s season by giving them one more loss in the Bedlam Bowl. USC finished with a victory over UCLA, giving them 3 losses for the season. Hmm, who predicted that at the beginning of the season? 
Teams with freshman quarterbacks don’t often win their conference. I expect them to be back next year though. Granted I expected one of the losses to be to Notre Dame, but I’ll swap out the Stanford victory for that one instead.
