Like the great magicians of the past and present, college teams are pulling some tricks out of their sleeves. I mean…what else explains the fact that the usual suspects save for Ohio State and LSU are nowhere to be found on the weekly polls? And after that miraculous last ditch effort by Trinity against Milsaps, I’m certain my “magic” theory is correct. Let’s take a look.
- LSU (Houdini). Nine lives my ass. At the beginning of the season, I declared LSU the probable National Champion. In its first five outings, the Tigers devoured its opponents…looking nearly unstoppable. However, LSU has escaped defeat FOUR TIMES in a row to stay alive in the BCS hunt. In the most recent BCS rankings (released 10/04), LSU replaced Boston College as the #2 team on the planet. They better hope they don’t forget the art of escapology.
- Oregon (David Copperfield). The Ducks were one of my preseason sleeper picks. Despite being ridiculed for that claim at first, I stuck by my guns. Like Copperfield, Oregon has made the impossible possible. The Ducks blew up Michigan and made USC disappear. And although walking through the Great Wall of China isn’t something they care about, they walked through #4 Arizona St. They even have supermodelesque cheerleaders. They’re certainly the best one-loss squad left, and they arguably have the best player in the country, so they may not need magic.
- Kansas (David Blaine). Although its strength of schedule might be questionable, the Jayhawks have shown the endurance necessary pummel its opponents and garner some national attention. However, they still have alot of work to do to get higher than its current #4 spot. While David Blaine couldn’t find a paying audience, he did find a way to grab the spotlight, and so will Kansas. Maybe they could magically shrink Coach Mangino. Just a thought.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m supposed to race Jamaal Charles. I hope my car doesn’t run out of gas.
