Whoa. I think it's finally stopped. I thought we had made it through cleanly by the time the sun set on Saturday night, how was I supposed to know that we were only in the eye of the storm.

Yes Saturday September 27th was a Saturday to remember. After setting the pace on Thursday with the mighty Beavers of Oregon State upsetting the #1 team in the nation the shockers kept coming. How could I know? How could I have suspected? Now all there is to do is shake it off and plug away. There were those who benefitted from this day of infamy. The Sooners, now #1 in the nation, continue to wreak havoc on opponents. Texas, BYU and Texas all took care of business but lets look at the teams who lost on Saturday and see where they stand:

Georgia                                                                                                    

Well I guess those all-black jerseys didn't quite do the trick. The Bulldogs lacked the appropriate preparation for Nick Satan's squad. 31-0 at halftime means one thing. Their team watched more tape than yours did. Georgia, all year long, seemed to really believe their own hype and it caught up to them on Saturday. For the Bulldogs it gets no easier. Next weekend it's Tennessee, who could do anything. I really can't get any kind of read from the Vols this year. But the week after they get Vanderbilt, the great suprise of this year so far. Down the road its a minefield for Georgia. After Vandy it's LSU, Flordia, Kentucky and then Auburn. Goergia NEEDS to go unbeaten the rest of the way if the want to be in the BCS. Too bad it won't happen.

Florida

I blame the Gator's loss to Ole Miss on the media. All week long the talking heads praised Urban Meyer and Tim Tebow's God Squad for not turning the ball over. Stats and stories alike were paraded around about great defenses of the past and how they compared to Florida. Guess what? Florida believed their own hype as well. Tebow played a crap game and the Gators defense was made to look like fools against the Rebels. Florida still has the big LSU game in two weeks, that will be followed by Georgia then Vandy (by that point we'll really know a lot about Vandy). Really though after that Florida has a stretch of "easy" games against team like Citadel and (it pains me to say this) Florida State, which for Tim Tebow's God Squad are winnable games.

Wisconsin

They're done. Cooked. Put the proverbial fork in the Badgers. Losing to Michigan is bad blowing a 19-point lead spells death for your chances at glory BUT losing to a team that turned the ball over five times is inexcusable. Sorry Wisconsin, but your season is over.

So here is The Church of Keith Jackson Top 10. I think we might do this every Monday, so here we go:

#1 - Oklahoma Sooners

#2 - LSU Tigers

#3 - Alabama Crimson Tide

#4 - Texas Longhorns

#5 - BYU Cougars

#6 - Missouri Tigers 

#7 - Penn State Nittney Lions

#8 - Texas Tech Red Raiders

#9 - USC Trojans

#10 - South Florida Bulls

Well Well Well. Quite the interesting development last night. USC gets embarrassed by the Beavers of Oregon State 27-21 and to be quite honest that score does not come close to describing the beating USC took. The Oregon defense, especially the line, made it near impossible for "Dirty" Sanchez to get enough time to find a receiver. But, of course, dap is in order for Jacquizz Rogers. The FRESHMAN carried the ball 32 times for 186 and 2 touches against a defense that allowed 10 points in its previous 2 games. Not only that but Jacquizz Rogers has surpassed Juice Williams for the best name in college football. 

If Thursday night was any indication this weekend could be filled with surprises. But picking surprises is a fool's game, an exercise in futility. Just don't be shocked if Alabama plays with the hearts of champions, there's only one thing that an Alabaman hates more than an Mississippian and that's a Georgian. Tennessee keeping it close against Auburn would only catch my eye for a short moment. However if Illinois were to be within a score going into the 4th in Happy Valley my ears would begin to perk up, then again with rain in the forecast Penitentiary State's defense could raise some hell.

The rest of the weekend should be an opportunity for teams to pounce on USC's upset. Oklahoma, Texas, Mizzou, LSU and Florida all woke up today with smiles on their faces. Now all they need to do is take care of their business. Expect statements to be made, running games will be important as rain is predicted up and down the eastern seaboard. Remember practice, hang on to the ball or you're gonna be running suicides! 

One more thing, it has come to my attention this week that many faces around College Football have been dispensing relationship advice. First was Texas Tech head coach Mike Leache. Mike, you got a great team! How can I get laid???

Thanks Mike. So, some good pointers. Like the bit about making her eat, totally true by the way I always make my dates pound a 16oz rib eye in front of me before we even get to the movies. Also you know that this guy is in Texas because he thinks all the people going into the coffee shop are weird enough to save your nervous and awkward conversations. Mikey its a coffee shop not a crack house. 

Next up, the smartest man in SEC football, a blogger who comes to you live from his mom's basement, Kige Ramsey.  This week Ramsey also helped those less fortunate to get some...

Wow, Kige once again provides a reason to live, the man is a sage and wise ninja of dating. In that spirit we here at The Church of Keith Jackson have crafted a perfect date for any member of our congregation:

- Dates can only be on Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday. If it's Bowl Season then schedule is subject to change.

- Pick up date at 7pm sharp...tardiness is next to unsexiness 

- Arrive at Applebees for fun and riblets...mmm  

- Go to late movie, pick something scary or boring...both good chances for make-out sessions

- Pull up to lookout point at around 11 to seal deal

- Take her back home by 12, she may have class in the morning.

Here's some picks for this weekend...

Georgia 21 Bama 17

Penn State 17 Illinois 14

Oklahoma 35 TCU 6

Florida 28 Mississippi 10

Enjoy the weekend kids.

The saying goes that the more things change, the more they really stay the same. This past weekend in college football that old addage was the truth. Suprises were tough to come by. Instead we were reminded that the cream of the league will always rise to the top and the crap of the nation will alway sink to the bottom of the bowl.

Oh Florida State, where shall I begin? How about a team that didn't score less than 40 points in their 1st two games putting up a paltry 3 points. THREE POINTS! Inexcusable! Unbelievable! Terrible! So it seems that Bowden and the boys will have to take a trip back to the drawing board. Make it 3 in a row for the Demon Deacons over FSU, that makes Wake the 1st ACC team to that to the Seminoles.

Auburn-LSU turned out the way I predicted and was the best game of the weekend. No big suprise there. At this point in the season the winner of the SEC championship will go to the national championship game to take on USC, that is unless USC stumbles sometime in the near future (Notre Dame I wouldn't hold your breath, you guys suck as bad as Michigan). Seriously Florida and LSU are the class of the nation so circle your calendars for October 11th because thats when we get to see Tim Tebow's God Squad battle LSU. Can't wait for that one.

Before I go about my week I would like to talk about one team in the top 10 that is not getting much dap, The Texas Longhorns. The Horns are flying under the radar, which is odd as they are averaging just under 49 points per game and have allowed no more than 13 points in there first 3. Not only that but Colt McCoy is quietly putting up Heisman type numbers. But slow your roll hep-cats, there are chinks in Texas' armor.

Problem #1; they're leading rusher is...Colt McCoy, always a problem when your quarterback's last name isn't Vick or Mexico

Problem #2; well I won't get into a long winded explanation about this problem, I will let the following video tell you what you need to know.

October 11th, already circled on your calendar for the Florida-LSU game, can now be DOUBLE CIRCLED because that's also the date of the RED RIVER SHOOTOUT. Oklahoma-Texas, get your cowboy hats and your cowboy boots shined up, get out for some line dancing cause this one will be a classic.

I feel that I have kind of ignored the SEC these last few weeks. My SEC preview was a little light, so to say. I really just feel like I haven't shown the best football conference its proper love. But all you southerners need to know that you have my love locked down. Luckily Mr. Kanye West has recently released a song that sums up my feelings towards the SEC. So for the Gators, the Tigers, the Volunteers, the Crimson Tides and the Tigers I dedicate this song to you...

We got some BIG games this week. The Florida Gators play their first conference game Saturday afternoon against Tennessee. Tim Tebow's God Squad was tested by Miami through 3 quarters 2 weeks ago before the Hurricanes awoke the beast. The Volunteers are a little better than the Hurricanes this year (but not by much) and I fully expect Urban Myer to improve his record against Tennessee to 4-0 on Saturday afternoon. Florida's defense has remained their cornerstone through their 1st two games holding opponents to 13 combined points through 2 games. The Gators have not allowed a Tennessee rushing play to get more than 6 yards the last 2 times these teams played. Volunteer tailback Arian Foster will try and snap that streak and he has a good chance to do so, Foster is averaging about 100 yards per game so far this year. But it will not matter as Florida will trounce Tennessee 30-14

Next on the docket is Georgia-Arizona State. At the start of the season many pundits had this game circled on their calendar however after the 1st two weeks of the season this game has lost a bit of magic. First Georgia looked PATHETIC against South Carolina, Georgia should have pounded SC back into the stone age but they were obviously overlooking the Old Ball Coach and that is something that you should never do. Secondly the PAC-10, once again, SUCKS. Seriously other than USC no team has lived up to the pre-season hype.

Oregon's Mr. Roper is out for the year, basically killing their passing game, UCLA is trash, Oregon State really crapped the bed and Arizona State, a team that was picked by many to make it to a BCS game choked in their 3rd game of the season (losing to UNLV). But all the mediocrity in this game could mean that these teams will kick the piss out of each other for 4 quarter because both Georgia and Zona State have a lot to prove. Georgia wins a tough one 21-19.

Finally we wrap up our SEC love in with the game of the week, LSU-Auburn. This is the match up everybody wants to see. LSU scores points at will (41 in their 1st two games) and Auburn's defense is the best in the country. Seriously this team wins games by hockey scores, they beat Mississippi State 3-2; junior running back Ben Tate had a goal and 2 assists last week. You don't need me to tell how awesome this game will be but I will leave you with some history in case you are not convinced.

Fact: LSU has not won in Auburn since 1998
Fact: The last time these 2 teams met in Auburn Auburn won 7-3 (2006)
Fact: 11 of the last 18 LSU-Auburn games have been decided by a touchdown or less
Fact: Last year's meeting between these two teams was decided by a last second Matt Flynn touchdown pass, LSU won 30-24
Fact: Les Miles has big brass balls
Fact: ABC and ESPN need to learn from the NFL and start putting these Saturday night games on flex schedules; LSU-Auburn needs to be seen by a national, non-ESPN having audience
Fact: R. Kelly has 19 year old friends

Prediction: LSU wins 13-10

One more big game this weekend is the Florida State-Wake Forest match up. I know I talk a lot about the blessed 'Noles but this is a HUGE game for both teams. Sure Florida State played Upper PoDunk State in week 1 and Lower PoDunk A&M in week 2 but they looked great on all sides of the ball. If they can snap their 2 game losing streak against Wake people HAVE to start to take Bowden's boys seriously. Seminoles win in a route; 35-10.

In typical Church of Keith Jackson style, we celebrate this past weekend with class and humility…

As for Ohio State, what happened on Saturday night (or what DIDN’T happen) was pathetic. How the Buckeyes are still ranked is beyond me, especially as Penn State is still ranked above 15.

Ohio State is just plain bad, they could end up with 4 losses. They still have Wisconsin, Penn State and the Fightin’ Illini on the docket. USC on the other hand is VERY good and the PAC 10 is not VERY good. UCLA should be ashamed of themselves, putting up 0 points is unacceptable. I don’t care if you got blanked by the Mormon Tabbernacle Choir, UCLA made big noise about this season and even seemed like they were on the right track after their thrilling win against Tennessee but now all that momentum is dead. Oh and Snoop called…

He said he and Pete Carroll are laughing at you behind your back.

Back before the weekend with this week's preview...
