Saturday thoughts

- Great win for Miami. Terrible loss for Oklahoma. Can somebody get on Stoops now? (besides the 'Eer.) To recover from that loss to Va. Tech last week and play well against the Sooners means a lot to the mental toughness of the 'Canes. Can they keep it up through the crazy ACC though?

As for the Sooners, I didn't mind the decision to kick the field goal instead of going for a long fourth down conversion late in the game. The problem was with the play calling leading up to that decision. Third and long swing passes don't do it for me. I guess Stoops can pin this one on not having Sam Bradford, but right now it looks wide open for Texas to win the Big 12.

- SEC refs need to lighten up. Also a big win for LSU in a crazy game in Athens. Sets up next week's game with Florida as pure hysteria. The Tigers were hardly dominant though. Lots of questions about their offense and whether they can actually threaten the Gators. They did just enough to beat the 'Dawgs, though. Georgia is just a really weird team.

- Don't even try to predict what will happen in the ACC. Maryland beats Clemson? (Nice Dabo Swinney hire, by the way.) Boston College beats FSU. (Doesn't Bobby have to at least think about stepping down?) Virginia beats North Carolina. (WHAT!?) I give up. Whatever.

- Sparty gets a big win that might help salvage the season. Really, it was a game they should have pulled away with. Easily the worst performance of the year for Michigan.
