What's in a rivalry?

It seems crazy that an entire day of football could pass without any entertaining games in this age of high-powered offenses and wild shootouts. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened this week. A dangerous combination of ill-timed byes, mid-major blowouts and uninspired play added up to the worst Saturday in the sport this season. Week 10 was the first time all season I wasn’t compelled in the slightest to stream multiple games on the computer and TV simultaneously. Let’s look back at the carnage.

The “weekend” actually began with some promise thanks to entertaining matchups in the AAC and Conference USA on Thursday. USC – Oregon State, while disappointing, was at least watchable Friday night. It all sort of spiraled downward from there. Virginia Tech losing AGAIN, this time to Boston College, was reason enough to raise an eyebrow, as was Penn State’s near-disaster against Illinois. Wisconsin and Iowa slugged it out for three quarters before the Badgers ran away with the game, while Ohio State dropped another bomb on the Big Ten’s credibility by crushing Purdue 56-0. Arizona and Georgia notched closer-than-expected wins over Cal and Florida, respectively, but neither was an exhibition of particularly good football.

Notre Dame also narrowly avoided the upset bug versus Navy. Clemson, another of the nation’s leaders matched up with a vastly overwhelmed foe, clobbered Virginia 59-10. In the first of only three games with two ranked teams, Michigan State stuffed Michigan. Oklahoma State’s defense didn’t have the same kind of performance as MSU’s, but the Cowboys won by a similar margin over Texas Tech, essentially eliminating the Red Raiders from the Big 12 race. Finally, after struggling in the first half, Florida State pulled away from Miami (FL) convincingly.

In the end, not much was learned. We already knew FSU was one of the three best teams in the country. We already knew no one on Ohio State’s schedule could touch the Buckeyes. With so many teams off, nothing really changed this week. The Seminoles jumped Oregon in the BCS standings, but if Oregon wins this week the Ducks will jump them right back. Thankfully, next week will be much more interesting.

The two gigantic Thursday contests will have an enormous impact on the conference races and the national standings. Oklahoma travels to Baylor that afternoon, followed by Oregon’s visit to Stanford. On Saturday, Nebraska – Michigan will eliminate one squad from the Big Ten title chase, while BYU’s trip to Wisconsin could end up deciding an at-large BCS berth – for both teams. Arizona State has a potentially tricky trip to Utah, as does Texas, who must venture to the far-off lands of West Virginia to face the Mountaineers.

In the American, another BCS spot may be decided as undefeated Houston and UCF clash. The same happens in the ACC, where Virginia Tech meets Miami (FL) in a game that will probably decide the Coastal Division. In primetime Alabama gets LSU. The Crimson Tide might already have the West sewn up but can still ill afford a loss at this point in the season. The best of the late games features UCLA at Arizona in a key South matchup. Both teams are 3-2 and chasing Arizona State. All in all, it’s a much more filling bounty than we were presented with last week.

Top 25

Once again, with so many teams idle I can’t make many changes to the rankings. That figures to change in a big way this week. Three undefeated teams face major tests and a handful of others will either make statements or be exposed. This is the time of year when the BCS really starts to shake itself out.

1) Florida State

If I had FSU on top last week, the win over Miami sure won’t change anything (especially after Alabama and Oregon were idle). I was surprised at how much of a fight the Hurricanes put up in the first half, but the Seminoles did a good job of clamping down and taking command of a game that was actually in doubt at the break. Jameis Winston’s two picks won’t help his Heisman chances, though that’s hardly of importance now. With three legitimate patsies and only a token threat from Florida left, it’s looking more and more like FSU is going undefeated.

2) Alabama

With apologies to Texas A&M, this is the game Alabama has been waiting for. LSU has stumbled twice already, although that’s partially the result of playing a more difficult SEC schedule than the Tide. The Tigers are very talented and quite capable of beating ‘Bama, even in Tuscaloosa. That means, of course, that the Tide are about to put up one of their trademark beatdowns. It’s not that I don’t have any faith in LSU – they’re very good – but it feels as if Alabama is tired of people questioning whether they should be number one.

3) Oregon

Much like Alabama, this is what the season comes down to for Oregon. The Ducks will probably win out if they survive on The Farm. UO has had a year to stew about the missed opportunities in last year’s game and should hardly be lacking in motivation. As I said last week, they are the better team. This game will answer whether Stanford really “figured out” Oregon last season, or if 2012 was just a fluke. There probably won’t be another clash of styles so different anywhere in the country. Simple as it sounds, whoever dictates tempo will probably win.

4) Ohio State

It would appear the Buckeyes have woken up and realize they need to start winning in impressive fashion to have any shot at the BCS Championship. One week after blowing out Penn State, OSU did the same on the road against Purdue, this time grabbing a shutout as well. Unfortunately, the reality of the situation is that no amount of points scored (or lack of points allowed) will convince voters to jump this team over the Big Three. The Buckeyes have to root for upsets, because they’re being victimized by the Big Ten.

5) Stanford

Taking a week off could only immensely help the Cardinal, who were hurting after the Oregon State game. Playing Oregon last week might have been ugly. This week, well, you never know. It certainly doesn’t seem like Stanford should be able to beat the Ducks. The ground game has been less consistent than last year and the passing attack has largely fizzled (though it’s worth noting that Kevin Hogan hasn’t been nearly as bad this year as you might think). The key, as always, is defense. With enough pressure up front, ‘Furd can make life miserable for anyone.

6) Clemson

Unless the Tigers get gashed by Georgia Tech’s option (always possible) they’ll head to South Carolina at the end of the month with a single loss. An 11-1 mark would almost definitely get Tajh Boyd and Co. to a BCS game, which wouldn’t be a bad consolation prize. However, South Carolina has proved… difficult in the past for this team, even when the Tigers are favored. Particularly on the road, that’s a tough matchup. Putting away Georgia Tech early would help shift the focus to preparing for that game.

7) LSU

Alabama has been less than dominant at times during this season. The Crimson Tide also drew the easiest road possible from the SEC schedule-makers, so even the recent streak comes with room to pause. However, it’s impossible to pick LSU in this game. In the Tigers’ two losses, quarterback Zach Mettenberger was brilliant (Georgia) and horrendous (Ole Miss). I think he’s very good, but the simple fact that we don’t know which version will show up in Tuscaloosa is enough to swing the game to ‘Bama. For LSU to pull the upset, Mettenberger will need to be his best.

8) Oklahoma

So here we stand: old guard versus up-and-comer. The Sooners (along with Texas) are the royalty of middle-American football. Baylor is, historically speaking, more like untouchables. The Bears have one win over OU – ever. It came two years ago with Robert Griffin III. Oklahoma has always been the vastly more talented team and probably still is now. However, the Sooners haven’t always played like it this year. To beat Baylor, OU will need to put the clamps on the nation’s most prolific offense. Can they do it? I honestly don’t know. I do know that no offense is unstoppable, though.

9) Missouri

A very nice win for the Tigers over Tennessee this week. The Volunteers aren’t great by any stretch of the imagination, but a dominant 31-3 effort after the heartbreak of losing to South Carolina was a good sign. This group should have no trouble with Kentucky, then must travel to Ole Miss and host Texas A&M to end the year. Neither is a gimme. The Rebels, while not exceptional, have proved to be capable of knocking off good teams. A&M can score with anybody. The difference in styles among the final three opponents will likely be a challenge, too.

10) Baylor

Okay, Baylor. You’ve been screaming to the heavens all season about being disrespected. Now’s the time to put up. A loss to Oklahoma would likely see a rapid drop in the polls, as voters are just waiting for this team to get exposed. A win, though? Take out the Sooners – the most talented squad on the schedule, if not the best overall team – and Baylor might even jump Ohio State. The Bears certainly would by the end of the year if they went undefeated. But first, let’s see one good win.

11) Auburn

I’m not totally sold on the Tigers, considering their reputation is built solely on the greatness of Texas A&M. However, they are at least pretty good and we’ll get to see them tested with season-ending games against Georgia and Alabama. Both games are at home, and by the way, Auburn only has one loss. It sounds unlikely, but this team would take the West by winning out. To do that, though, the Tigers would need to graduate from a good rushing offense to a good offense, period. You won’t beat Alabama without a balanced attack.

12) Oklahoma State

Well, well. It wasn’t hard to figure out that OSU was better than the West Virginia team they lost to, but after a couple of lackluster performances it was reasonable to question whether this team was capable of a serious run at the Big 12 title. They are. Outside of a 21-point second quarter by Texas Tech, the Cowboys completely controlled the game in Lubbock. That performance compares very favorably to Oklahoma’s one-touchdown win over the Red Raiders last week, which, by the way, came at home. The last two games of the season (Baylor and OU) are going to be fun.

13) South Carolina

It took about a quarter, but the Gamecocks finally pulled away from Mississippi State. If asking a team to put away a game faster than that sounds excessive, you clearly haven’t seen MSU play. No matter. With a week off before the SEC finale with Florida, a 6-2 league finish seems likely. At that point all it would take is one Missouri upset for Carolina to go to the SEC Championship. Even if that doesn’t happen, a win over Clemson at the end of the year could send this team to the BCS as an at-large. A lot of possibilities for the Gamecocks.

14) Michigan State

I think it’s safe to say Michigan State’s defense is for real. The Spartans held a top-10 offense to 168 total yards, including an absurd negative-48 on the ground once factoring in sacks. The Legends Division can be clinched with a win at Nebraska in two weeks, but this team is looking higher than that. Finishing the regular season 11-1 (and undefeated in conference play) is a real possibility, which would set up a fantastic battle with Ohio State in the Big Ten title game. Common opinion holds that MSU wouldn’t stand a chance, but with this D anything is possible.

15) UCF

Here we go. Minor challenges in the form of SMU and Rutgers await, but this week is the big one. Central Florida’s AAC title hopes hinge on containing explosive Houston in Orlando this week. I think this team gets it done. The Knights have proved to be strong defensively and very opportunistic despite an offense that is only above-average. The dream run is only half over and Houston is not to be taken lightly, but UCF has been very, very good and appears poised to break into the BCS.

16) Louisville

Louisville also gets Houston in another week in a game that will likely determine the team’s final record, if not its postseason fate. Cardinals fans will argue that an 11-1 record, with the lone loss by three, should be good enough for an at-large BCS bid, but that’s probably unrealistic. The AAC is just too weak to justify a second berth, especially with the SEC, ACC and Pac-12 all likely to receive two bids apiece. With a couple of upsets here and there, though, it’s not out of the question. Louisville’s margin for error is razor-thin.

17) Texas A&M

Once again, not impressed by A&M’s accomplishments. We’re at the point in the season when a close loss in Week Two doesn’t have a whole lot of meaning anymore. I mean, run down the schedule. Vandy? SMU? The best win is Ole Miss, which was a game the Aggies really should have lost. Mississippi State won’t provide much of a challenge, so the season really comes down to the final two games. Both LSU and Mizzou are on the road. They’ll decide whether aTm is (yet another) team who could earn an at-large BCS berth.

18) Miami (FL)

The loss to FSU was one thing. That was expected. The much worse outcome was Duke Johnson’s injury, which could prevent the Hurricanes from getting the rematch with the Seminoles in the ACC Championship. It’s too bad, because the ‘Canes put forth such a great effort in the first half against FSU. Virginia Tech is reeling right now, but that doesn’t mean the Hokies can’t beat Miami. There’s no telling how beat up this team is right now and the emotional loss of Johnson could be devastating.

19) UCLA

The Bruins didn’t look particularly impressive against Colorado but got the win, keeping them alive for the South title and a third straight Pac-12 Championship spot. The remainder of the schedule is not easy, as UCLA has to go on the road to face Arizona before three games in southern California (Washington, Arizona State and USC). These are kind of games a mature team would struggle with; the young Bruins must grow up fast to have a chance. ASU and USC are probably must-wins.

20) Wisconsin

It wasn’t pretty but the Badgers ground out a double-digit win at Iowa. Now comes perhaps the biggest obstacle to a 10-win finish: BYU. The Cougars also have a shot at a BCS berth and are coming to Madison to win, not compete. As far as mid-season non-conference games go, this is about the worst game Wisconsin could have picked. Still, for a team looking to avenge the loss to Arizona State – in the BCS’ eyes – this is a great opportunity. How bad would the Big Ten look with a loss, though?

21) Texas Tech

Hmmm. The Red Raiders suffered their second straight loss to an Oklahoma school, this time not very competitively. After the Oklahoma loss – close, on the road – it was fair to not drop TTU too far in the polls. After the defensive meltdown against OSU, all bets are off. It would take an unusual combination of losses for another chance at the Big 12 title. How will this team respond to falling from front-runner to spoiler status? I like Texas Tech, but the schedule isn’t forgiving the final month of the year.

22) Fresno State

Fresno picked up another so-so win against a mediocre opponent in the Mountain West. The style points aren’t there right now for the Bulldogs, which is a problem given the surge Northern Illinois is making. If this pattern of relatively close wins continues the Huskies will jump Fresno in the polls. Only the higher-ranked of the two teams at season’s end will get a BCS bid. The strength of the MWC over the MAC is helping this squad, but eventually more impressive wins are going to be necessary.

23) Northern Illinois

Keep in mind that NIU’s opponents are largely terrible, UMass this week included. However, against bad teams the best answer is big wins. That’s what the Huskies are doing right now. Even better: the MAC scheduled NIU’s final three games during the middle of the week, providing the maximum amount of exposure to voters at the end of the season. The next contest could be the game of the year in the MAC, as the Huskies host fellow league unbeaten Ball State for the West title.

24) Notre Dame

In their current four-game winning streak, the Fighting Irish have given up 10 points twice… and 34 points twice. They’ve beaten two Pac-12 teams, then struggled with Navy this week. Indeed, the Midshipmen looked poised to drive down for the winning score in the back-and-forth game before the Irish D snuffed out a fourth-down reverse. It’s still hard to know what to make of this team. It’s not crazy to think they could win out against some quality competition. They could also lose to Pitt, BYU and Stanford and end up with five losses.

25) Arizona State

ASU is looking really good right now, but I can’t bring myself to move the Sun Devils above Notre Dame. That game happened less than a month ago. I even said before the Irish won I thought ASU was the better team but Notre Dame would win, which is exactly what happened. I think the Sun Devils might be the better team now, too. They’ll need to beat another quality team to earn the ranking or justify a better spot than the team who beat them. That’s the fairest way to do this. As far as the Pac-12 standings go, ASU is sitting pretty as the leader in the South.

Pac-12 Report

A 42-14 first half. That’s how the nightmare unfolded for Washington State on Thursday. The interesting thing about the game was that it actually wasn’t as bad as the score looked – until it was. Arizona State led 42-7 just before the break, only to see Wazzu score on both sides of the intermission to pull within 42-21. After forcing a fourth down, it appeared the Cougars would get the ball back with a chance to cut the lead to just two scores. Instead, the Sun Devils pulled a fake punt, Todd Graham looked like a genius and ASU won going away. It was a frustrating loss for WSU, who now needs two wins in the final three games to reach bowl eligibility.

The Sun Devils, meanwhile, looked nigh-unstoppable. After a potential trap game at Utah, ASU faces Oregon State at home (a notoriously difficult place for OSU) before travelling to UCLA and the home finale with rival Arizona. All four games are winnable, though the matchup with the Bruins is the most important. Assuming this team wins at least two of the other three games, that date in L.A. will decide the South title.

UCLA, for their part, looked a little disinterested with Colorado, sluggishly pulling away in the second half for a 22-point win. The Bruins will need to be sharper than that in Tucson this week. Arizona may not be great, but the Wildcats could pull the upset if the Bruins aren’t careful. As with many teams this time of year, UCLA has to avoid looking ahead. None of their remaining four games are easy. 

Of course, ‘Zona wasn’t exactly impressive Saturday, either. Cal had several chances to get its first Pac-12 win and threw the ball away (sometimes literally). I’m not sure how good this team is – not as terrible as they seemed at the start of conference play, for sure – because the three league wins since came against Utah, Colorado and Cal. That’s three teams with a combined Pac-12 record of 1-15, so take the Wildcats’ winning streak with a grain of salt.

Speaking of fraudulent winning streaks… my goodness, how bad was Oregon State on Friday? Midway through October I said OSU hadn’t played any good defenses and wasn’t as good as they seemed. However, even I got roped in by the hype from pundits who said the Beavers were “back” after the ugly season-opening loss. Nope. Not even lose. OSU hasn’t changed a bit since the Eastern Washington game – average defense at all levels, subpar offensive line and zero skill players outside of Brandin Cooks. The Beavs had played well as a team to get to 6-2 with a laudable effort against Stanford, but versus USC the dam broke (no pun intended).

As for SC, the Trojans keep chugging away, despite crippling scholarship restrictions and even more crippled players. No one will confuse this team with some of the mighty Trojans team of old, but they’ve still got quite a lot of talent. With home games against Stanford and UCLA remaining, there’s still time for SC to have a huge impact on the conference race. How remarkable would it be for the Trojans to make the Pac-12 title game after opening the conference season with two losses and firing Lane Kiffin? It’s not exactly probable, but strange things happen in November.

I’ll end with Oregon – Stanford, so let’s move to the Saturday games. USC at Cal is not likely to be a close game, even with the fight the Bears showed against Arizona. The Trojans will employ the same game plan they used on Oregon State: pounding the ball left, right and center. The offense will get off a few big plays through play-action, the defense will contain Cal’s Bear Raid and the home team will have a tough time stopping SC from controlling the clock. Another step toward 0-9 for Cal.

ASU at Utah is more interesting, provided Utes’ QB Travis Wilson’s finger is healthy. The bye week was probably helpful. Utah is a lot better at home (as is ASU), but in the end I doubt the Utes’ D will hold up for four quarters against the Sun Devils’ relentless attack. The worst-case scenario for ASU would see their players get fatigued from the altitude and a second straight road game while Utah controls the clock with intermediate passes and runs. That’s a lot to ask for, even for a rested team like the Utes. I think ASU can taste the South title and wants to go out and win it.

Colorado’s pain train stumbles on to Seattle, where the Huskies will gladly extend the Buffaloes’ misery for another week. Back-to-back home dates with Cal and Colorado sandwiched around a bye? What did Washington do to get that sweet deal? Does Sark have compromising pictures of Pac-12 commish Larry Scott? In any case, Colorado has shown a lot of fight the past two games against ‘Zona and UCLA, vindicating those of us who said they would be an improved team in 2012. Unfortunately, we also said that improvement wouldn’t be reflected in the win-loss column, which seems to be the case. Whatever troubles UW might have, they won’t be enough to prevent another CU loss.

UCLA – Arizona is the nightcap. The Bruins are the better team, but it’s not easy to win in Tucson and, let’s face it, UCLA hasn’t looked great lately. It’s possible both teams’ uninspiring wins last week were the result of looking ahead, though that may not be giving enough credit to Colorado and Cal. Both teams have also beat the same three conference teams – Utah, Colorado and Cal. Not exactly a murderer’s row. The difference comes in the rest of the schedule. UCLA’s conference losses are to Oregon and Stanford, the class of the Pac-12. ‘Zona’s are to Washington and USC. UCLA also went on the road to beat Nebraska. Barring a meltdown, the Bruins should win.

As for Oregon and Stanford… there’s not a lot more to be said than what I posted last week. Oregon is the more talented offensive team by a wide margin. Stanford is the better defensive squad, though not by as large of a gap. There’s no doubt Oregon CAN score on this team – prior to last season, Stanford had not held UO to less than 35 points since 2004. The question is, did the Cardinal catch lightning in a bottle that day, or did they finally catch up to the Ducks schematically? The loss of DE Ben Gardner is a big blow, given that the key to slowing Oregon seems to be pressure up front. Still, it’s not as if Stanford doesn’t have other good players who can do most of what Gardner did.

The start of the game will be crucial. Stanford cannot afford to fall behind and get into must-pass situations. In short, it’s the same formula as last year: shorten the game, force Oregon into mistakes and win the battle at the line of scrimmage. Regardless of what some overconfident Ducks fans might think, the Cardinal are completely capable of replicating the 2012 performance. However, I don’t think they will. Impressive though last year’s win was, Stanford seems to have regressed offensively this season and should find moving the ball to be a problem against the UO defense, which is no slouch either. Oregon probably won’t tally as many points as usual, but they’ll do enough to win by a couple of scores.

Random Thoughts and Observations

I had to include this video of the Ohio State marching band’s Hollywood Blockbuster Show from halftime of the Penn State game. Somehow I missed this last week. Fun for all!

Early in the season I mentioned that LSU’s win over TCU would not be remembered for the quality victory it was because the Horned Frogs soon lost QB Casey Pachall for an extended period. Well, Pachall has returned and TCU is still losing, with a 3-6 overall record and a 1-5 mark in conference play. It’s hard to know if the early injuries the team dealt with sent them to a point of no return or if TCU was overrated to begin with. Considering the impressive defensive performances the Horned Frogs have put up against some of the better offenses they’ve faced, I don’t think they’re that bad. But in any case, LSU is no longer getting credit for a quality win.

There were numerous near-misses but only one true Stanzi this week. Considering Notre Dame’s fortune over the past couple of years, it’s surprising it took this long to get Tommy Rees on the board.

Tommy Rees, Notre Dame

Opponent: Navy

Performance: Two INTs, led two fourth-quarter TD drives

Nebraska’s Tommy Armstrong, Jr. would have won a Stanzi because of his three interceptions, but he didn’t throw the Hail Mary that won the game. Because he didn’t actually play a part in the win, I can’t hand him one of these prestigious awards.

In another couple of weeks, the players tied at one Stanzi will be consolidated into an “others” category, to make room for the guys who really have a shot to win the season award.

One final note: there’s been some talk this week about rivalries because of the big games between Alabama and LSU and Oregon and Stanford. Sports Illustrated ran an article about the Oregon – Stanford rivalry during the bye week. Like most things SI has written in the past 15 years about college football, the piece had some inaccuracies (such as the nature of the Oregon – Washington – Oregon State relationship). However, the most frustrating aspect was its central thesis: that Oregon – Stanford is becoming the best rivalry in the Pac-12.

There is no rivalry between the two schools, just as there was no rivalry between Oregon and USC last season when both were projected as top-five teams. Being good at the same time in the same conference does not make teams rivals. Rivalry is built through decades of animosity (and in the UO – UW case, humiliation). Oregon and Stanford have been playing at or around an elite level for five years. That is not a rivalry. The Big Game, the Territorial Cup, the Civil War, the Apple Cup, Oregon and Washington, Cal and UCLA – those are the Pac-12’s biggest rivalries.

And for the record, the next ignorant commentator who says USC – UCLA is “one of the west coast’s biggest rivalries” should be instantly fired. The fans in L.A. are terrible and nobody cares about that game, except on the rare occasion when both teams are good. That’s merely a rivalry of proximity, and it’s a subpar one at that. Oregon and Stanford? Give me a break. There’s not enough anger on either side to make that a rivalry. The Pac-12’s best rivalries, in order, are:

Arizona – ASU (Territorial Cup)

Oregon – Washington

Oregon – OSU (Civil War)

Washington – WSU (Apple Cup)

Stanford – Cal (The Big Game)

Oregon – Washington was the conference’s fiercest rivalry up until UW’s recent downfall. That, combined with Oregon’s dominance of the series, has doused the fires a little. ‘Zona – ASU is about as nasty as the Ducks – Huskies games a decade ago. It is unquestionably the best rivalry in the Pac-12 at this point. The Civil War and Apple Cup are both very good games but there’s at least a small amount of respect between the teams involved. The same goes for Stanford and Cal, which is a great series in its own right but suffers from having too many classy, educated fans. Not to take shots at the Arizona schools, but there’s a reason that rivalry is on top.

Next week: all questions will be answered. Is Alabama still the nation’s best team? Is Oregon ready to beat a good defense? Can Ohio State find someone marginally decent to play in the Big Ten? Tune in and find out.
