Some thoughts on week 14 - Championship weekend

  • The SEC Championship was a hell of a game. Brutal, dramatic and played at a much higher level than almost everything else I've watched this season. It was proper grown-up football.
  • If only Chris Conley had thought quicker and dropped the pass on the final play, Georgia would have had time for another play. Though there's no blame against him as its almost impossible to make the decision that quick, it's a big what-if to end the game on.
  • The closeness of this game is more evidence of how close the top 6 teams in the SEC are. They've all beaten and lost to each other so it's not clear even now which is the best team in the SEC. How would Florida have done against Alabama for example?
  • Another good win for Kansas State and Colin Klein. He's probably sealed a top 3 finish in the Heisman race now.
  • When will Nebraska's defence turn up in Indianapolis? Where on earth did that demolition by Wisconsin's offence come from? And where has that offence been all year?
  • Why was the stadium in Charlotte half-empty for the ACC Championship game?
  • Will anyone from a non-AQ conference sneak into the top 16 and grab a BCS bowl spot?
  • Just Army-Navy and the bowl games to go. Why is the season so short?
