Week Eleven

In which a lot of people do very well and sort of cancel each other out. And in which the University of Oregon Fighting Ducks absorb a one-sided beating in Corvallis at the hands of a far superior team, thus ending Bowl hopes and ensuring Thanksgiving holiday misery for me with my hayseed Ag school in-laws. In the spirit of sportsmanship, I will point this out: OSU's only losses have come from USC, Cal, ASU, LSU, and Boise State. Every one of those teams is in the BCS standings -- number 1, 4, 7, 13, and 16. Total number of losses for all five teams? Five. Three to each other, the other two to Auburn and Georgia. Now *that's* a brutal schedule. Almost enough to make you want to jump a GI bound for Iraq in a bar, I guess.
