Some quick thoughts before the Log Lady and I go to our Halloween shindig:
1) Auburn 24, Ole Miss 14, 2nd Quarter. On the one hand, if one Duck can pick apart Auburn's defense like this, how could they possibly hope to stop 11 of them? On the other, Auburn has the same ingredients that Ohio State and Boise State had that led them to victories over Oregon: A dominant offense line that can control the tempo and keep the Ducks off the field, and an exceptional quarterback that can make the 3rd-and-long play when he has to.
2) Oregon State 35, Cal 7. Final. Is there a better 3-loss team than the Beavers? Amazingly, they still control their own destiny in the Pac-10; run the table and beat the Ducks in Corvallis, and a 9-3 OSU will be in the Rose Bowl. Conversely, is there a more schizophrenic than the Golden Bears? Their last 4 games: W vs UCLA 35-7, L @ USC 14-48, W vs Arizona St. 50-17, L @ Oregon St. 7-35. Crazy. They'll have to fix this dementia in order to get to a bowl game, though. They have to find a way to win 2 out of 3 against Oregon, Washington, and Stanford in order to become bowl eligible.
