Well, we learned some things this past weekend... or did we? After some matchups I still have questions. Let's discuss....

Is Vandy really for real or is Auburn just that lame? Well, if a backup QB can still lead the team to a win, I feel Vandy is for real. I have had them ranked for weeks now in the Homer Poll, but they are now the highest ranked team out of the SEC East.

Has Mizzou's defense really improved? The Homer in me wants to say yes, but the realist says... a little bit. Sure, they held Nebraska to just 10 points, (the last 7 as time expired was against our bench warmers), but Ganz is a good QB and exposed our secondary as he elluded defenders all day. Another mobile QB with better receivers later in the schedule... oh ####, we play in the Big 12. Still, we made the adjustments and improved as the game progressed. It looks like Pinkel has finally realized what halftime is for.

Is Penn State really a National Title contender? Yes.

Will Tampa Bay beat Denver this afternoon? Yes.

With that, the poll before the polls.

I told you so. Ohio State wasn't in my Top 10 last week, so no, they are NO WHERE near my Top 10 this week.

Suck on it Buckeye fans. You guys trashed me all year, now who's right? Who's been right? Thank you, now SHUT UP.

Same for anyone spouting that #### Georgia and Auburn talk. Florida and LSU are still THE teams to beat in the SEC. Until you can beat them, shut up.

This week both USC and Mizzou are tied for 1st. It's my poll, again you are free to make your own. As always, I make my poll before the AP or Coaches polls are released.

Also, (hold your nose) the Big 11 is looking a lot stronger than the Pac 10 as a whole. It may still play out with the Pac 10 still the better of the two, but to the Pac10 fans that keep talking about how dominate your "conference" is... SHUT UP. In fact, the Mountain West looks as strong this week as you pukes do, so hush. I will repeat... one team does not a conference make.

***Also Note: My picks went 8-1 this week. #### Cal was the one.***
