Oh, Yeah... The Bee-Cee-Ess Went Into The Blender Last Night...

And it only took two losses for that to happen...

Notre Dame's easy win over Wake Forest (sorry, J-Dub) assures them, at least, the two seed going into their game with USC...

Georgia and Alabama control their own fates at the Ess-E-Cee title game in Atlanta...

But Just as soon as Collin Klein ends up on the cover of the SPorts magazine that has Illustrations, they get whacked by Baylor in Waco...

Didn't really see that coming...

And, then, The other issue happened in the Pac-12...
Remember what the HQ has always said about fast, athletic defenses squaring off against Oregon and their offense...???

Remember the Ess-E-Cee and their time keeping the Ducks in check...???

Stanford found a way- even if it took extra time to do it...
And, whaddya wanna bet Chip Kelly never ever kicks again...

Collin Klein Heisman Front Runner? Geno Smith's Stock Going Down. K-State Crushes WVU 55-14


Geno Smith’s Heisman Trophy stock is dropping.  Collin Klein’s stock is soaring to front runner status for the stiff-arm pose.
Klein and his Kansas State Wildcats dominated West Virginia at Morgantown 55-14 and the game didn’t seem that close.

Klein was damn near perfect, 19-21 passing for a career high 323 yards, ran for four touchdowns and threw for 3 touchdowns.
The K-State quarterback clearly won the head to head battle with former Heisman front runner Geno Smith who threw for 143 yards and one touchdown however tossed his first two interceptions of the season.

"He doesn’t do anything wrong.” West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen said. He is the same guy we saw on film. He is exactly the same guy we thought he would be.” 
Which is a damn good football player and Kansas State is exactly who WVU thought they were, a BCS Championship Game contender.

Here’s the highlights from a stunned Morgantown, WV (Thanks Fox Sports)
 



K-State has put themselves in the conversation with Alabama and Oregon as the top three contenders for the BCS National Championship Game.
The Wildcats own three Big 12 Conference wins on the road, at Oklahoma, at Iowa State (and the Cyclones aren’t bad either.) and now a domination of West Virginia. 

The Wildcats final five games are first a pair of home games vs Texas Tech and Oklahoma State then road trips to TCU and then to Waco, Texas to play the Baylor Bears before finishing the season hosting Texas at Bill Snyder Family Stadium.  It’s just seems very odd for K-State and Texas to finish the season (ramifications of realignment.)
I’m just wondering how many are now jumping on the K-State bandwagon.  I’m there now.

TWTW: Polar Opposites: Okie State outscores K-State

((ht: newsok.com))

You can easily say that Oklahoma State versus Kansas State ended up being the antithesis of the LSU/Alabama game.

No, it didn't feature what you could call the 2-best teams in College Football, though after outlasting K-State, Oklahoma State will now probably be the #2 in the land. What it did feature was 97 points and over 1,000 yards of total offense.

Okie State got the win, 52-45, but not before the Wildcats had the ball inside the Cowboys 10 yard line with 3 chances to tie the game at the end of the fourth quarter.

And while the Cowboy fans should be celebrating a dramatic win, we just don't see them as a title contender. It's great that you can score points in bunches against another conference team. But we can assure you, you won't do that against LSU. And your defense isn't good enough to stop them either.

The game featured 500 yards passing by Oklahoma St. QB Brandon Weeden and 3 TD runs and 1 TD pass by K-State QB Collin Klein. Cowboy WR Justin Blackmon also kicked in 13 catches for 205 yards.

The win sets up Oklahoma State to finish out the season pretty strong, however, they still have to get by Oklahoma, the 1st weekend in December and though the Sooners are pretty beat up, there is no guarantee that will be a win.
