NCAA Week 12 Results

Michigan 45, Nebraska 17: Two stats--only one turnover from Denard Robinson, that's the best he's ever done against a decent team . . .and Taylor Martinez 16 carries for 49 yards--that's the best Michigan has done against a running QB in years.  Michigan wins E-Z.  Best game for U-M since they beat Tebow in Lloyd's finale.  9 wins for Brady Hoke, defense looking solid at season's end, Michigan expected to beat OSU next week.  A far better year than I expected. . .things looking up for Michigan.  But a loss to Ohio State now would mar everything.  Beat OSU now, before Urban Meyer gets in there.  Oh, yeah, 29 carries for Toussaint--that's what I like to see. . .looks like Michigan might have a real #1 tailback.

Baylor 45, Oklahoma 38: With this result, along with the Oregon and Okie State losses, we got an all-SEC title game for sure. . .most likely Paint Dry Bowl II.  Right now, Alabama actually has the easier road to the Paint Dry Bowl. . .all they got to do is beat Auburn, while LSU still has to beat Ar-Kansas and Georgia.  It would be hi-larious if we got an Ar-Kansas - Alabama rematch instead of the LSU - Bama rematch.  I'll be pulling for Ar-Kansas on Friday. 

Kansas State 17, Texas 13: KSU goes into Austin, gains only 130 yards, and still pins loss #4 on Texas.  Snyder has got to be a candidate for Coach of the Year, getting 9 wins out of this crap team.  Meanwhile, Tezas, loaded with blue chippers, has two tough road games left (A&M and Baylor) and could follow up last year's 7 loss flop with a 6 loss flop--and you got to wonder if Mack Brown fatigue has set in. . .the guy had a nice run there for a while, with Vince Young, but now they are just another team.  You figure he's got one more year to return Texas to glory, or he'll be forced out.  At least his former successor Will Muschamp hasn't done anything at Florida, otherwise ol' Mack might be feeling the hot seat already.

Virginia 14, Florida State 13: FSU was the pre-seaon #6, and now they sit at 7 - 4, setting up next week's Flop Bowl against Florida.  Nice year for Virginia--they came out of nowhere to win 8 games.
