Sunday Morning: 1st & 10

Ten things from yesterday's college football games:

1. We told you Lester and LSU would go on the road and defeat Tommy Tubberville and Auburn. Never a doubt in our mind. We knew everything would be fine immediately following the opening kickoff. Tubberville's Troops, buoyed by Tommy T's wondrous coaching skills, did the unthinkable. They -- wait for it...they...wait a bit longer -- they were offsides on the kickoff!. How is that even humanly possible?!? LSU 26 Auburn 21. By the way, that's six straight wins against top 10 teams for Lester (six straight!).

2. Staying in the SEC, Florida has yet to be tested, but the fact remains the Gators are slapping teams around without getting HUGE numbers from Tim Tebow. Great for Urban Meyer. Scary for the SEC.

3. Still staying in the powerful SEC, we were right (again) when Georgia topped Arizona State. How anyone could have thought this would be even remotely close is mind boggling. The Dawgs rolled, 27-10. ASU should just go ahead and accept its annual invitation to the Mediocrity Bowl. Georgia, on the other hand, hosts the Sons of Nick Saban next week. (Wow -- let's hope the work week flies by.)

4. When Our Man Splint, Brent Musberger, greets us every Saturday night on our couch with, "You are looking live..." we damn near pass out from euphoria. Seriously. We're just saying.

5. Boise State 37 Oregon 30. We still wanna puke when we watch Boise, but we actually cheered for them in this one. Oregon and its ultra smug, ultra slimy coach Mike Bellotti, could lose 100 games in a row and we would still want them to lose more games.

6. When we listen to Holly Rowe and every other sideline reporter in football, we can't help but think their every waking thought is, "We hate Erin Andrews."

7. Best College GameDay sign at Auburn yesterday morning? Ryan Perrilloux for Heisman. Clever. Very clever.

8. Memo to Florida State: Go out and get some blockers, a blue blood running back and a solid D-1 QB. This has gone beyond pathetic.

9. Off topic: The Phillies topped the Marlins, 3-2, and are now in first place over the Mets by one-half game and lead the Brewers for the Wild Card by 3 games.

10. Off Topic (one more time): You gotta love those white, skin-tight, see-through pants the Euros are wearing in the Ryder Cup. Maybe that's why Monty didn't make the team.
