What we learned about AP Top 25 this week


For this week in college football review, we’re going to check out what we learned from each Top 25 game. Let’s start with the most over-hyped game of the night, Alabama vs. Florida.

No.1 Alabama vs. No.7 Florida. Alabama wins 31-6.

What did we learn?

1)      Bama is almost as good as the commentators make them out to be.

2)      Tim Tebow does not play for the Gators anymore.

No.2 Ohio State vs. Illinois. OSU wins 24-13.

What did we learn?

1)      You need to knockout Terrelle Pryor to have a chance to beat the Buckeyes.

2)      There is no such thing as an easy win in The Big 10, unless you’re playing the 1-4 Minnesota Gophers.

No.3 Boise State vs. New Mexico State. Boise State wins 59-0.

What did we learn?

1)      The time of possession is not as crucial as the score of the game (30:23 vs. 29:37).

2)      New Mexico State has a football team.

No.4 Oregon vs. No.9 Stanford. Oregon wins 52-31.

What did we learn?

1)      Giving up 518 yards of total offense is bad. Giving up 626 is even worse.

2)      Stanford doesn’t like scoring in the second half.

No.5 TCU vs. Colorado State. Horned Frogs win 27-0.

What did we learn?

1)      TCU did not get a single safety in this game.

2)      Having 4 penalties for 30 total yards is the thing to do now.

No.8 Oklahoma vs. No.21 Texas. OU wins 28-20.

What did we learn?

1)      Tackling the quarterback is good. Tackling him after he has thrown the ball is bad.

2)      Catching punts is really really hard to do.

No.10 Auburn vs. LA-Monroe. Auburn wins 52-3.

What did we learn?

1)      If you throw a 95-yard touchdown pass, then you are better than everyone in Auburn school history.

2)      When you give up a touchdown 32 seconds into the game, you’re probably going to lose the game.

No.11 Wisconsin vs. No.24 Michigan State. MSU wins 34-24.

What did we learn?

1)      Having your coach in the hospital is like having a four-leaf clover in your pocket.

2)      The Spartans have a player named BJ on the team.

No.12 LSU vs. Tennessee. LSU wins 16-14.

What did we learn?

1)      12 players is one too many to have on the field. So is 13.

2)      You truly can turn that frown upside down.

No.16 Miami (FL) vs. Clemson. Miami wins 30-21.

What did we learn?

1)      6 turnovers can really put a damper on your day.

2)      Comebacks are hard to complete when you don’t score any points in the 4th quarter.

No.17 Iowa vs. No.22 Penn State. Hawkeyes win 24-3.

What did we learn?

1)      3 points is not enough to win the game when your opponent has 24.

2)      Joe Pa left the game early to go to bed.

No.18 USC vs. Washington. Washington wins 32-31.

What did we learn?

1)      If you don’t count this game, then USC is still undefeated.

2)      When you’re down by two points, try kicking a field goal.

No.19 Michigan vs. Indiana. Wolverines win 42-35.

What did we learn?

1)      Denard Robinson belongs in a video game.

2)      Denard Robinson belongs on the cover of a video game.

No.23 North Carolina State vs. Virginia Tech. Hokies win 41-30.

What did we learn?

1)      There is a bronze wolf statue by the Va Tech tunnel. It does not look real.

2)      Trailing by 17 points ain’t what it used to be.

No.25 Nevada vs. UNLV. Nevada wins 44-26.

What did we learn?

1)      Vai Taua has moved into the Top 10 names I have to look at more than three times to pronounce.

2)      The winner of this game received a cannon. More specifically, the Fremont Cannon. That’s awesome.
