The Cynic's Guide to College Football: Week 7
As we've reached the halfway point of college football's regular season, we’re starting to get a real handle on who are contenders (Bama) and who are pretenders (LSU, Ole Miss). So here are some random observations on the first half of the season.
Dadgum
Remember the days when people actually respected Florida State’s defense? When guys like Deion Sanders, Peter Boulware and Derrick Brooks struck fear in the hearts of opposing quarterbacks? This season, however, the Seminoles have given up 28 or more points in four of six games marked (and they lost one of the other two). The heat is only getting hotter on Bobby Bowden, and this very non-Florida State-like defense is a big reason.
Does Anybody Want to Win the Big 12 North?
In the early days of the Big 12, the North ruled the roost. Nebraska, Kansas State and Colorado were perennial top-ten teams, while Mack Brown was beginning to wake the sleeping giant in Texas and Oklahoma suffered through John Blake. In recent years, however, the tide has turned, with OU and UT being national title contenders every year and the north struggling through scandals at CU, the retirement of Bill Snyder at KSU and the Steve Pederson/Bill Callahan debacle at Nebraska. Early on this season, however, I thought that maybe this was the season the Bis 12 North could finally give their Southern counterparts a run for their money. Then week 7 happened. Nebraska, just a week removed from a big win at Missouri to put them in the driver's seat in the division, pissed down their leg in a 31-10 home loss to Texas Tech.
Then, later that night, previously undefeated Kansas choked at Colorado (yes, that Colorado). Missouri looked gimpier than Blaine Gabbert's ankle in a 33-17 loss at Oklahoma State. When your "big" wins are over Texas A&M and Baylor, it doesn't speak well for your division.
Nebraska DT Ndamukong Suh is one of the North's bright spots. But even he's not good enough to make up for Nebraska's bizarrely inconsistent offense.
Where Have You Gone, JaMarcus Russell? Uh, Wait, Scratch That.
How LSU got to be a top-5 team is beyond me. Their 13-3 loss against Florida illustrated just how bad the Tigers’ offense is. Not taking anything away from Florida’s defense, but that score said a whole lot less about Florida’s D than it did about LSU’s terrible offense. LSU currently ranks 91st in scoring offense and 112th in total offense. Sure, their defense (14th in scoring defense; 35th in total defense) is good enough to win them some games. But a top 5 team should at least have a semblance of balance, something Les Miles’ squad is sorely lacking.
Fear the Potato
OK, raise your hand if you had Idaho in the "Who Will be Bowl Eligible Before Oklahoma, Ohio State and USC" pool. Anyone?

At this rate, Allstate may be able to hire the real Bowden for next season.

Separated at Birth: Unsolved Mysteries
A great big offensive chop to our friends at Tomahawk Nation for pointing out this one...

The Cynic’s Guide to College Football, Week 13
A Florida State football player wins a prestigious award—for academics. Notre Dame loses at home on Senior Day to an 8-loss Syracuse with a lame-duck coach. Guns n’ Roses releases a new album. All things that, ten years ago, we never thought we would see. Yet they all happened this weekend, showing that when you expect the unexpected, bad things sometimes happen. (Except the GNR album—much to my surprise, it’s actually pretty freakin’ good.)
1. Win One for Ty. Or Not.
Thanks to the brilliant foresight of FSN, the entire country was able to see last week’s Washington/Washington State game. Fortunately for them, there are enough people across the country who like watching train wrecks to make the game palatable. The Sporting News put it best, when they called the game “essential viewing of the most desperate sort, like watching two homeless men fight over the last can of Sterno in an alley. You'll hate yourself for watching it, you really will ... but you won't be able to look away, either.” Really, as bad as these teams are, was there really any way for it to be decided but a missed field goal in the second OT?
In a follow-up to a story we wrote about last week, Florida State safety Myron Rolle was one of 32 American students to be awarded a Rhodes Scholarship last Saturday. He received the word at 5:22 pm EST, had a police escort to the airport and were airborne at 6:15. Rolle made it to College Park, MD and, courtesy of another police escort, was at the stadium and suited up late in the second quarter. Florida State then rolled to a 37-3 victory.
Congrats to Mr. Rolle. It’s very rare that I get to use the phrases “bigtime college football player” and “police escort” in the same story and have it actually be something positive.
Rolle had an even better day than this guy.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Secretly obtained photo of Washington special teams practice.
Washington still has one chance to save its season with a 12/7 game at California. Anyone want to take that bet?
2. Remember That Time When Notre Dame Was Relevant?
Early in the fourth quarter, Notre Dame led Syracuse by a score of 23-10. And then the epic choke began. Syracuse came back to win 24-23. So which is the worst part of this week’s loss for Notre Dame?
(A) The Domers had more penalty yards (50) than rushing yards (41)
(B) They had their first loss ever to a team with eight losses.
(C) The ND players were pelted with snowballs from their own “fans” (and I use that term very loosely)
(D) The Irish likely played themselves out of an invite to the Gator Bowl in sunny Orlando and into a trip to the Sun Bowl in El Paso.
(E) All of the above.
The Sun Bowl is nice, but it’s no Olive Garden Never-Ending Pasta Bowl
3. No Cupcakes on This Thanksgiving Table
Florida vs. The Citadel?!?!? What the hell?!?!?! This is the time of the year for turkey, dressing and enough desserts to make your coronary arteries beg for mercy. September is the month for cupcakes. Get it right, Gators.
Well, I guess there is one way to have both.

The Cynic: This Guy is Way Smarter Than You
November 20, 2008. Remember this date in history. It may well be the first and only time the NCAA did something right by a student-athlete. The NCAA approved a waiver for Florida State safety Myron Rolle to take a private jet to the Seminoles’ game at Maryland Saturday night. The reason for the unusual travel: Saturday afternoon Rolle will be interviewing for a Rhodes Scholarship. For those who don’t know, a Rhodes Scholarship is like the Heisman Trophy, an Academy Award and the super-hot girl’s phone number all rolled into one. Except for really, really smart people. Only 32 students from across the country will be chosen for the Scholarship and the opportunity to study at Oxford University.
Albert was a heck of a DB himself.
I consider myself to be a reasonably intelligent person. (Made all A’s and B’s in college. Graduated summa cum laude. Made Phi Beta Kappa. Now a gainfully employed and productive member of society.) But I can’t hold a candle to this guy.
Rolle graduated from FSU in 2 ½ years with a degree in pre-med and a 3.75 GPA. He is working on his Master’s degree and wants to continue his study in medical anthropology (whatever that is). Last summer, he was given a $4,000 grant for cancer biomedical research. He helps tutor his teammates and has written for the New York Times. And just for kicks, last year he started a program to help educate Seminole Indian children about the importance of health and physical fitness. (So what have you done lately?)
Take a good look: there’s a very good chance that this man will be your boss (or doctor or president) someday.

The Cynic’s Guide to College Football, Week 4
All across the country, the weather is turning a bit cooler, leaves are starting to change colors and, with conference games coming soon to a stadium near you, we finally have the prospect of the end of these ridiculous cupcake nonconference games. And yet with the season less than a third of the way through, we already know a few things. Some bad things. Just as every silver lining has a dark cloud, here’s the lowdown on the lowlights of this week in college football.
1. Country Roads to Nowhere?
Is it too early to start pressing the panic button on the Bill Stewart (six-year) era at West Virginia? Probably. But that won’t stop me from doing it anyway. It’s not just that the Mountaineers are 1-2 this season. It’s that they’ve looked so decidedly sub-par. In all fairness, WVU did show signs of life in the “John Denver Bowl” vs. Colorado last Thursday. After giving up two quick TDs, the defense shut out Colorado for thenext 55 minutes. Pat White and Noel Devine both went over the century mark in rushing. And White’s 39 yard TD run in the fourth quarter was a thing of beauty. But WVU had no passing game whatsoever (10-15 for just 43 yards; White actually had minus-five passing yards at halftime.) They were just 3-of 13 on third down conversions and had 91 yards in penalties. Even the rushing numbers are a bit misleading as anyone who watched the game saw that the Mountaineers offense was lethargic, unimaginative and, worst, predictable.
Look at the numbers:
Short version, the Mountaineers are averaging 153 yards and two touchdowns fewer per game than last year. Look, we all knew that the Mountaineers would likely be down a bit this year after losing Rich Rodriguez and Steve Slaton. But with uber-QB Pat White and a talented defense returning, I don’t think anyone thought it would be like this. Yes, the season’s still young and they still have a lot to play for (such as a possible Big East title). But the knee-jerk reaction to hire Stewart following the Mountaineers’ upset of Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl isn’t looking good.
2. The PAC 10 is Godawful.
Much was made last week about the SEC being the first conference in history to land five teams in the top ten at the same time. Well, with USC out of action this week (does anyone else find it odd that the Trojans scheduled two bye weeks in the first month of the season?), it gave me a chance to check out how the other half lives. Big mistake. I really had high hopes for the Pac-10 this year, thinking that maybe, just maybe, Arizona State, Oregon or Cal could finally get to that "next level" and challenge for the conference title. Way wrong.
Six of the teams in the Pac-10 teams have lost to a non-BCS team. Not counting USC, the rest of the conference is just 10-12 in out of conference games. And that includes two wins over 1-AA teams and a 4-1 record against the WAC. They are 3-6 against the other BCS conferences (including 0-3 versus the Big 12) and an amazing 0-5 against the Mountain West. Frankly, most of the Pac-10 has to be grateful that conference games are starting up just so they might have a chance at winning a game or two.
3. Kansas State: Worst Week Ever.
Things started off bad for Kansas State when they had to travel to Louisville for a rare Wednesday night game. They proceeded to get throttled by a CUSA team (38-29 final, but it wasn’t that close) who, two weeks earlier against Kentucky, looked like they'd never seen a football. Sadly, that was the high point of the week. On Friday, KSU RB Leon Patton was released from the team after a run in with the law. But this was not your usual run-of-the-mill college football arrest. No DUIs, mary jane possessions or weapons charges here. No, Patton was arrested and charged with felony child abuse of a two-month old baby.
To KSU's credit, Patton had already been suspended while the investigation was ongoing and was kicked off the team once he was arrested on Thursday. But, man, talk about a rough week. Even with a new contract, the seat under Ron Prince is already starting to get a little warm. This week certainly didn't help matters any.
On a related note, I've always felt there was a particularly warm spot reserved in hell for people who hurt kids. In Patton's case, let's hope I'm right.
“Leon, meet Adolf. I’m sure you’ll have lots to talk about.”
4. Awww, Florida State Fall Down, Go Boom
Believe me, I wish I was making this quote up. But after FloridaState’s embarrassing 12-3 loss at home to Wake Forest this week, Seminoles offensive coordinator (and head coach in waiting) Jimbo Fisher offered this insightful analysis: “We made some boo-boos.” No, Coach Fisher. Boo-boos are something that happen to my two-year old daughter, not to a once-proud college football power. 12 penalties for 139 yards are not boo-boos. Seven turnovers are not boo-boos. Three points are not boo-boos. I’m not trying to bag on Wake Forest—I think they’re a good team and I really like Jim Grobe. And maybe I’m just bitter since I picked FSU to have a rebound nine-win season this year. But shouldn’t a program with the history and tradition of Florida State be held to a higher standard than this? I mean, this is just embarrassing for all of us. Even ‘Noles despisers have to admit that the haterade just isn’t as sweet right now. Like Jack Nicholson’s character in A Few Good Men, even if it’s to serve as the object of envy and hate, we want FSU on that wall. We need FSU on that wall! FSU administrators, you know what needs to be done. You can either rip the Band Aid off now and start the healing process. Or you can continue to let the “boo-boo” fester. Your choice.
Florida State’s next coach?
5. And Speaking of Octogenarian Coaches . . .
I have no idea if Penn State is any good. Yes, they’re putting up monster statistics. Sixth in total offense. Third in scoring offense. Seventh in rushing and total defense. Ninth in scoring defense. But for all that, does anyone really have any idea how good Penn State is? Their four opponents thus far (Coastal Carolina, Oregon State, Syracuse and Temple) aren’t exactly murderer’s row (a combined 5-10). To date, Penn State hasn’t been tested, let alone challenged. And frankly, I just don’t think I believe the hype. Admittedly, they’ve gotten solid if unspectacular play from QB Darryl Clark (7 TDs, 1 INT). But we’ll see how he responds under pressure—the Nittany Lions’ next three games get a lot more challenging as they have Illinois, @ Purdue and @ Wisconsin. If they can run that gauntlet, I’ll be a believer. But I’m not holding my breath.
6. Singular Names are Still Dumb, but . . .
And for my one positive note of the week, I bring you the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. In a year in which attention has been focused on BYU and possibly Utah as potential BCS busters, keep your eyes on Tulsa out of Conference USA. Through three games, Tulsa is second in the nation in total offense (587 yards per game) and fourth in scoring offense (52.3 points per game). QB David Johnson is simply unconscious—he’s on a pace for 4800+ yards passing and 60 touchdowns. The Golden Hurricane offense can put up video game type numbers. I know it’s early and they haven’t really played anybody yet. But their schedule is easy (they avoid East Carolina until a possible matchup in the CUSA title game) and, with this offense, there’s no reason to believe they can’t run the table. Would an undefeated CUSA season be enough to break into the BCS? Doubtful. But it’s still good to see a team who has always played third-fiddle in its own state achieve at a high level. Even if the head coach is the subject of a wrongful death lawsuit.

| Total Offense | 456 ypg (#15) | 303 ypg (#95) |

Seminoles Audition for Patriots
In a turn of events that is sure to impress Bill Belichick, the Sporting News/EPSN is reporting:
Up to 20 Florida State players could be suspended from the Dec. 31 Music City Bowl against Kentucky and the first three games of 2008 because of their involvement in a cheating scandal, an unidentified source has told ESPN.com.
