CFB - W4 Rewind, W5 Preview - Where were you back in 2004?

Personally, I had just graduated from undergrad and was starting my new job.  Man that sure does feel like a looooong time ago.  Oh, and also the last time Tennessee beat Florida!  GO GATORS!

Week 4 REWIND - PAC-12 represent
  • If you didn't see the TCU vs. Texas Tech game, you really missed out!  Talk about a shoot out.
  • Notre Dame and Georgia take care of business against some lesser out of conference opponents.
  • LSU struggles on the road at the carrier dome...though, when you have Leo Fournette, you don't really ever struggle.
  • PAC-12 really opened some eyes with UCLA crushing Arizona, Utah crushing Oregon, and USC crushing Arizona St.  What was supposed to be an entertaining late saturday night slate of games quickly was trumped by the Law and Order marathon that was on TV.
  • Oh Bielema, you've done it again.  How in the world did you choke that win away again?!
  • Is Duke really good or is Georgia Tech just over rated?  Something tells me both, but GT really better get their act together, and quick.
  • Michigan only allowed 105 offensive yards to BYU.  That's hardly even the length of a football field.
  • Kentucky now has TWO conference wins!  This week against Mizzou.
  • Maryland looks bad...realllllll bad.
  • Will Virginia Tech schedule ECU ever again?
  • Louisville finally gets their first win of the season!  Woot!  Hey, even if it is against Samford (a southern conference baptist school), a win is a win.
  • Mississippi St. defense looks legit.  That was an impressive win against Auburn, but don't count those tigers out just yet!
Week 5 PREVIEW - A pretty good slate of games this week, with a potential conference championship preview
  • Notre Dame vs. Clemson - easily the toughest test for Notre Dame yet, with a very stout Clemson defense.
  • Alabama vs. Georgia - so much on the line here.  If Alabama loses, they are almost assuredly out of the playoff picture.  But if Georgia loses, will we still see a re-match in the conference championship?
  • Miss St. vs. TAMU - A theme of the week, high powered TAMU offense against a very stingy MSU defense.
  • Ole Miss vs. Florida - Do I hear redemption?
  • Baylor vs. Texas Tech - Almost without question another shoot out.  The over/under is 87.5!!!
  • Michigan vs. Maryland - will Maryland score any points?
  • Iowa vs. Wisconsin and Minnesota vs. Northwestern - Big Ten West will start to really take shape!
  • West Virginia vs. Oklahoma - start the morning off with a some heavy hitting Big 12 action
  • Air Force vs. Navy - in the first battle of the service academies
  • Arkansas vs. Tennessee - is this a must win for...both teams/coaches?

DDD this week: 2:30 pm.  Most of the early games you can catch up on highlights, but this is when the Alabama game starts.  Then you have a very strong slate of games starting from 6p to 7p.

Vandy and Florida update:
  • Vandy's defense looks to be hitting their stride, holding an Ole Miss offense to only 27 points, 7 of which coming from a short field after a blocked punt!
  • Vandy travels to Murfreesboro, TN this week for MTSU's homecoming game.  This may be closer than people would hope...
  • Florida pulls out a late 4th quarter comeback, scoring two touchdowns in less than 5 mins with three 4th down conversions!  Oh my!
  • Florida hosts Ole Miss this week in The Swamp; will most certainly be the battle of the Ole Miss offense vs. Florida defense.  Will Florida find redemption and be able to do to Ole Miss what they did to them back in 2008?  Maybe Chad Kelly will give a speech like Tebow afterwords...
Gonna be a great Week 5!
