Here at the Chruch at Keith Jackson we like to stay away from dangerous vices.

Vices such as, but not limited to:

- excessive fornication (anything more than 10 times a week is pushing it)

- excessive gambling (bet you can't stop)

- and excessive gluttony

These are all to be avoided like dogs avoid Michael Vick. But once in a while we all like to indulge. Indulging in these activities is what makes us flawed, makes us sinners, makes us human. This weekend will be one of those indulgences. Yes, my flock, this weekend is the annual Biggest Outdoor Cocktail Party In The World; or as it may be known on your college football schedules, the Georgia-Florida game.

Last year's Bulldogs-Gators tilt featured one of the classier things ever to transpire during a first quarter. After Knowshon Moreno scored the first points of the game, on a one-yard dive, the Georgia sideline got so fired up that just about every Bulldog player ran onto the field to celebrate. The video is as follows...

Stories surfaced after the game that Georgia's coach Mark Richt basically said before kickoff that if the team did not get a excessive celebration penalty after Georgia's first score then they would be running double-suicide sprints at every practice the next week. Richt caught some flack but received no fine or other disciplinary actions for basically ordering his team to go out and disrespect the other team. Coach Richt would realize the errors of his ways and apologize over six months later (such class). Richt is lucky that situation did not erupt into a major conflict. College football has not lacked in players doing stupid things on the field. I seem to remember a Miami-Florida International game that turned ugly after a harmless PAT.

Always smart to fight with your helmet on. This year's game is shaping up to be another great one (last year Georgia completed the upset and won 41-30). Both teams are trying to work their way back into the national championship picture. A win on Saturday will catapult one team back in to the top-five or six spot while a loss will relegate the other team back over the double digit mark in the rankings. 

So how does this one play out? Well I would be hard pressed to go against the grain on this Florida Gator team. Tebow, again this year, has been awesome and I am really curious to see how his game will translate to the pros. But this Florida team seems to rally around themselves. The loss against Ole Miss hurt this team but the Gators have responded well, not only winning but doing it in entertaining fashion. Georgia, on the other hand, has been on the receiving end of some of my ire. Let's face it they were overhyped in the pre-season and got pushed around physically by some lesser teams. In their last few games as they were also trying to get back in the picture the Bulldogs also started to rally, even though last week I picked LSU to beat them last week by a thin Kate Moss margin.

Instead the Bulldogs thumped the Tigers. But this week I will have to go against the Bulldogs once again. I think you can only get away with what Georgia did once...and you have to pay for it. I believe that this Saturday Richt and his team pay dearly for their early celebration in last year's game. Florida wins big 38-23.

The other big game this weekend is, of course, in the Big 12. That is right, the Texas train just keeps on a rollin! This weekend it's the matchup that a lot of experts are picking as the Longhorns' biggest test, Texas Tech. I disagree with said experts because Texas has been practicing for this game in their last three Saturday matchups. Oklahoma, Missouri, Oklahoma State are all teams with extremely high potent offenses and suspect defenses. Texas Tech? Potent offense but not much to write home about their defense, a unit that has allowed at least 25 points in their last five games. However I think the Red Raiders have a chance against Texas (every team has a chance). If Texas Tech can run the ball with some proficiency and keep the chains moving on offense while on defense they can get into the backfield and shake up Colt McCoy then they might be able to create some turnovers and make this one interesting. Then again Texas Tech's schedule did not do much to really prepare them for how good Texas is. This Longhorns team is built to win and every week Colt is showing the fans that he is the realest of deal. I like Texas to keep rolling in this one 33-27.

Enjoy the weekend kids and come on back on Monday for your updated Top 10.

Another weekend and another BCS ranking with no major suprise at the top. The top 3 teams in the nation, Texas, Alabama and Penn State, all took care of business on Saturday. However for all 3 teams their victories came at a price. Blueprints started to take shape on how to beat this year's powerhouse teams. Alabama showed that they can get rattled early, plus im still not sold on John Parker Wilson when he is under pressure. Ohio State showed that Penn State running back Evan Royster is human and QB Daryll Clarke can't take the big hit. However it seems that the Texas Longhorns' shortcoming was much more easy to spot.

Texas showed that they have a problem stopping a running game that relies on a smaller, shifty running back. Oklahoma State tailback Kendall Hunter (all 5 foot 8, 190 pounds of him) ran for a whopping 161 yards against a huge Texas defence. The Cowboys offence has been high octane and getting help from Hunter has been a main reason for them putting up big points (1116 yards and 10 TDs this season so far). The Longhorns need to watch out for other teams trying to exploit the lack of speed possesed by their linebackers. Texas Tech's 2 headed running attack of Shannon Woods and Baron Batch have yet to post big games (only 1 100 yard game between the two backs). I would not be suprised if Mike Leach is coaching those two up all week to get into the second tier of the Texas D.

BUT more importantly we were treated to the first images of Texas QB Colt McCoy's girlfriend...they are as follows (she's on the left):

 ...as our patron saint Keith Jackson might say, "Oh Doctor."

The obvious question now is "Does the hotness of Colt's girl earn him the right to win the Heisman?" Since Tim Tebow won the trophy solely (almost) on the hotness of his girlfriend, all other candidates must equal, or better, what we saw from Tim "JC" Tebow's girl...

Just give McCoy the trophy and be done with it.

Regardless of "Hardware for Hotties" the top 3 teams still might have a chance to fall out of their vaunted positions. Penn State is in the best position to stay unbeaten with only one ranked team left on the schedule (No. 21 Michigan State) and no conference tournament to play. Texas still has the big game agaisnt the Red Raiders on Saturday and the Big 12 tournament on their docket. Finally Alabama still has to play LSU, Auburn (in the big rivalry game Thanksgiving weekend) AND a conference tournament. There is plenty of football left to play and plenty of confusion yet to set in on the BCS computing system.

Without further ado here are The Church of Keith Jackson top 10 rankings.

#1. Texas Longhorns

#2. Alabama Crimson Tide

#3. Penn State Nittany Lions

#4. Oklahoma Sooners

#5. Florida Gators

#6. University of Souther California Trojans

#7. Texas Tech Red Raiders

#8. Georgia Bulldogs

#9. Oklahoma State Cowboys

#10. Tulsa Golden Hurricanes

This week's plotlines come from the midwest. The Big 12 conference was on all of the pundit's lips this week.

Colt McCoy, now the smart pick for Heisman (when Tim Tebow speaks, people listen), has decided to return to Texas next year for his senior season. We here at The Church of Keith Jackson are going to go out on a limb and say that McCoy is coming back to school to persuade NFL owners that he is, in fact, The Real McCoy (yes even here at The Church we go for the easy ones). We figure that McCoy is not coming back to finish his "Undecided" major. We do understand that McCoy is making real headway in his "Undecided" studies, really making headways on the difference between "Pendent" and "Irresolute".

McCoy's Longhorns take on Oklahoma State this week in their month-long mine field that is their schedule. After doing away with Oklahoma and then trouncing Mizzou last week Texas faces the sixth-ranked Cowboys and then the eighth-ranked Texas Tech Red Raiders next week. But let's focus on this week. Oklahoma State has been a great story this year. A team that started the year unranked has now moved to the top ten on the back of their high potent offense. But what kind of shot do they have to unseat powerhouse Texas? Well, not much. Texas comes off two victories against similar Big 12 teams. In fact, all of these Big 12 teams are starting to look alike; crazy offense, very little defense. While I would love for Coach Gundy to prove to us that once again...

I don't think that he'll be able to do it. Texas makes Gundy's team look like women; Texas wins big 44-21

The next item I want to put forth is the curious case of Matt Williams. If you have not heard Texas Tech has a problem; kicking the football. The Red Raiders have made only 50 percent of their field goals and have missed 6 PATs (a misleading stat because Texas Tech puts up about 40 points per game, that's gotta be about 4 1/2 touchdowns per game). So Red Raiders coach, Mike Leach, has decided to take a page out of Big 12 rival Texas A&M's book; call on the infamous 12th man. Yes, his name is Matt Williams and after winning free rent by kicking a 30-yarder at halftime a few weeks ago Williams has been recruited by the team and will probably see game time in Saturday's tilt against 23rd ranked Kansas. Now, we here at The Church are big fans of bringing on walk ons to play in big time games HOWEVER we would just like to remind Mr. Williams (who now has to pay his own rent mind you, thanks a lot NCAA regulations) of what hard lives kickers lead...

Well now that we've seen all that can happen to kickers (regardless that most of those were punters) let's give you the pick. Texas Tech will beat Kansas on a last second 50-yard field goal. Not by Matt Williams (he'll miss 2 PATs) but by senior kicker Cory Fowler. Red Raiders over Jayhawks 30-27.

Other scores this weekend are as follows...

Penn State squeeks by Ohio State 21-17

LSU whips Georgia 24-10

Florida State wins a nail biter against Virginia Tech 13-10

Tulsa plays like an NFL team in their Sunday game (they're playing on Sunday?) and roll over the University of South Florida 35-7...keep an eye on Tulsa, the Golden Hurricanes have the best offense in the country and could be the real deal. They're ranked 19th right now but could see their stock rise into the Top 10 as the rest of their schedule sucks.

Tough week here at The Church. A 2-2 record is anything but holy around these parts. So we need to get back on track here. The question remains, how do we get back to our winning ways? After thinking long and hard we here at The Church have found the perfect solution...

That's right kids... LIVE ANIMAL SACRIFICE! Please do your part!

Regardless of our missed picks, this week featured the always controversial BCS rankings. And kids let me tell you these BCS robots have no clue what the hell they're doing.

 The top three teams in the country are the top three teams in the country no matter which poll you follow.

1. Texas Longhorns

2. Alabama Crimson Tide

3. Penn State Nittany Lions

I mean that's a no brainer. But 4-10 is where we get a little squirrely.

See it depends on what you value in your ranking system. Are you impressed by unbeaten teams? Well Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Utah and Boise State all remain unbeaten yet none of these squads cracked the top five and only two (the Cowboys and the Red Raiders) are in the top 10! Maybe you value great teams from great conferences. Well the best conference in the nation (the SEC) fields three one-loss teams in the BCS poll but none are in the top five. Instead Georgia, Florida and LSU come in at 7, 10 and 13 respectively. So with all these teams basically getting screwed, which team is getting the preferential treatment? The USC Trojans.

Yes the Trojans, with their smoking hot cheerleaders, tanned legs and white panties. Yes, the same team that absolutley choked against the Oregon State Beavers. A team that was not only unranked, but had beaten USC in past seasons as well. So how did USC propel to the top 5 in the BCS rankings? By running up the score against their weak conference opponents.  Their dismantling of the Washington State Ryan Leafs was sexy enough for the computers to frog jump the Trojans over Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Florida, etc.

USC will run the rest of the table and win the Pac 10, that's fine, I can live with that. UCLA, Arizona, Washington and even Oregon have no shot at beating USC. The thing is a terrible Pac 10 team HAS ALREADY BEATEN THEM! Seriously if they make the national championship game it will be a travesty, I dont care how hot the USC Song Girls are (that's a lie, I do care). The Pac 10 is awful, just god awful. And the fact that USC lost a game in that division should put them on the outside looking in, instead of in the drivers seat.

 Well kids that is my rant for this week. We will be back before the games on Saturday for the picks. And please keep your eyes open for Ronny's column that should be coming soon, I think we may be in for an updated 2009 mock draft.

Many apologies for no real preview post this week. Instead The Church of Keith Jackson will sort you out with our Chastity Belt Locks of The Week...

Missouri Tigers OVER Texas Longhorns

Missouri, no longer in the top 3, are hungry for a win. The Longhorns have won their big game of the year so expect Texas to come out slow. Mack Brown really isn't a national championship coach and, as Lou Holtz will tell you, Colt McCoy is not a marquee quarterback. Tigers win in a squeaker 28-24.

Ole Miss Runnin Rebels OVER Alabama Crimson Tide

ARAS, Always Root Against Satan. Ole Miss wins big 44-21.

Penn State Nittany Lions OVER Michigan Wolverines

Have you ever seen a car wreck on the side of the highway and traffic comes to an almost complete stop as every car that passes by the accident has to slow down and see what happened? Well that is why I will tune in to ABC today. Penn State continues their winning ways 35-13.

Ohio State Buckeyes OVER Michigan State Spartans

A very important game for our Buckeye friends. Lose this game and Tressel is in trouble. Beat the Spartans and watch your stock rise back into the top 10. Terrelle Pryor and the Ohio State Buckeyes win a physical game in East Lansing. Ohio State 24 Michigan State 17. 

Enjoy your saturday
