Week 6 Preview

Week 6 is upon us. Although this week's slate of games is less than exciting on paper (or computer screen), there's one classic rivalry just itching to become relevant again.

Florida State (3-1) @ Miami (0-4)
The Miami-Florida State rivalry dates to 1951, with Miami holding the all-time advantage, 30-22. This year's Noles look to win their third straight game of the season, while the Canes are looking for their first win. With a relatively easy schedule ahead, a win against the Noles could launch the Hurricanes back into the ACC race. In this rivalry, there's never a lack of trash talk or pictures (courtesy of our friends at Google)




A Week Off:
#7 Clemson, #13 LSU, and #23 Georgia all have a week off this week. The off-week looks to benefit LSU the most, as they prepare to head to Gainesville next week to take on the mighty Gators. While they have no injuries, LSU will need every extra day of preparation possible to come away with a victory in The Swamp.

Clemson Falls in the Coaches Poll
Tiger fans were shocked this week when it was discovered that Clemson fell one spot in the coaches' poll to #7. The Wisconsin Badgers (now the #6 team) jumped past the Tigers in the latest poll. However, Wisconsin plays host to the #1 ranked Ohio State Buckeyes at Camp Randall Stadium this week, so one of these over-rated Big 10 teams will take a tumble in next week's poll.

NO RESPECT!!!

The Tigers are angry and are more focused than ever to destroy whoever stands in their path!

Yeah, you got hosed! But at least you'll move right back up. What will stink is if Wisc beats OSU, then OSu only falls a few spots. And you need to tell Tom (Auburn) he needs to crush West VA later in the season.

I struggled with Ole Miss. I played awful but I pulled it out. Sorry about the restart guys. My wife came home in the middle of it and it was not going to fly with her if I sat on my butt while she made me dinner.

This also makes the second time McKinley got hurt verse the CPU. I was so pissed.

Adam-
It should not fly with YOU that Eliz would be in the kitchen making dinner while you and your Gamecocks are shedding blood, sweat, and tears on the gridiron against the Ole Miss Rebels! You need her support and she should be in the den with you cheering you on and maybe even booing you when you play bad---like they do in Knoxville this year! We will let it slide just this once! ha! Is McKinley hurt for multiple weeks or just the game?
