What Was Week 12 in College Football

This may have been one of the most craziest weekends of College Football in a long time. The BCS standings as of Thursday, November 17th was the following:

1. LSU
2. Oklahoma St.
3. Alabama
4. Oregon
5. Oklahoma

Well if you thought everything was going to be routine, you was in for one BIG surprise after Saturday night. 3 of the top 5 teams fell and fell hard! This crazy weekend started Friday night in Ames, Iowa, with the Iowa St. Cyclones upset over the OSU Cowboys in double OT.

That lost was to have hurt the chances of Oklahoma, who would of needed to beat an us undefeated Okla. St. team to climb over an Alabama and Oregon. Well that was until they lost at Baylor (For the first time in school history), which pretty much knocks them from any National Championship chance they had this year.

This set the stage up for an Oregon team, who fought they way back to the top 3 and could make a big argument about why they should be #2 team playing in the National Championship game. All they had to do was win out and hope that they convince the voters to choose them, but then USC destroyed all hopes of that with a 35-32 win in Eugene. Chip Kelly and crew will be kicking themselves for this lost.

As for LSU and Alabama, this was the only thing routine on Saturday as both teams won easily in mist of their huge showdown games next week against Arkansas and Auburn.

But even then, I wouldn't put anything past me that the upsets are gone.........as Chris Berman would say "THAT'S WHY THEY PLAY THE GAME!!!!"
