THE WACKY WORLD OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL – 2007
The 2007 college football season is nearing the end. The BCS Championship game is only a week away and either the LSU Tigers or the Ohio State Buckeyes will be crowned national champions next Monday night in the SuperDome in New Orleans.
Here are some wacky facts about the crazy college football season this year.
An unranked team beat a Top 5 team a record 13 times.
The No. 2 team in the nation had a record of 2-7 over the final nine weeks.
The AP No. 1 and No. 2 teams lost three times in the same week, including the final two weeks. That hadn’t happened once in a season since 1996.
Five games met or exceeded the all-division NCAA record for highest combines score: Chadron St. 76, Abilene Christian 73 (3 OT), Hartwick 72, Utica 70 (4 OT), Weber State 73, Portland State 68, Navy 74, North Texas 62, and Boise State 69, Nevada 67 (4 OT).
Appalachian State’s upset of Michigan was the first time an FCS (1-AA) team ever beat a ranked FBS (1-A) team. The Wolverines were No. 5 at the time.
Stanford (+40 over USC) and Syracuse (+37.5 over Louisville) pulled the two biggest upsets ever in relation to the Vegas point spread.
The only game between AP Top 5 teams was Missouri vs Kansas — teams that had never both been ranked in the Top 10 in 115 previous meetings.
Happy New Year!!

LSU 11-2. Get MY facts right. What kind of website is this? So you’re saying that LSU lost 7 games and is still ranked #2. Wins come before losses big guy. Hopefully, nobody puts any cheese on your picks, because you can’t even read a win loss column. By the way their is possesive the correct use would be there in your previous comment. GET MY FACTS RIGHT! PFFFF!

LMAO, OK who has been trying to deceive everyone here that I am actually posting as Ballz? I was at Main Exchange cleaning some Beer Lines at 8:47am when this post was made. Not a big deal because I agree with the poster 100%…LMFAO

I think what he is trying to say is the #2 ranked team on any given week (because it changed so much down the stretch) went 2-7. You would think a so called “sports writer” would word it so a person could understand it. Just remember he writes these blogs half gassed up so I guess we should cut him some slack! LMAOoooooo

If that’s the case I apologize. I will cut him some slack. I know he likes the sauce but who doesn’t?

Hey “ballz” who are you?

The No. 2 team in the nation had a record of 2-7 over the final nine weeks…..The AP No. 1 and No. 2 teams lost three times in the same week, including the final two weeks. That hadn’t happened once in a season since 1996….Pretty simple facts ballz….I don’t recall saying LSU was 2-7 over their last nine games when I predicted them to win the BCS Championship game over Oklahoma.

I apologize for thinking that ballz was really Braunie….I thought since I have the green jacket from the Masters in my closet with the letters “BALLZ” stitched in it, that it had to be Braunie (who I got the jacket from)….I like this ballz guy cause he loves the sauce!!
