Slit Your Throat Saturday

Colorado 27 (3) Oklahoma 24
Consistently, Bob Stoops wins critical contests. He was won a national championship. He has garnered three conference championships. Versus Texas, he is 5-2. Bob Stoops wins important contests. He loses the unimportant. In 2001 and 2002, trivial challengers cost him. Colorado was this season’s Oklahoma State.

Auburn 20 (4) Florida 17
On Saturday, Florida will oppose LSU. This showdown was set. Both were undefeated. Both were top five. Auburn was twice defeated. Florida should have mulled them. Instead, the Gators were dominated.

(18) South Florida 21 (5) West Virginia 13
Last season, South Florida embarrassed West Virginia 24-19. Revenge was obvious. Unfortunately, West Virginia amassed six turnovers. Once again, Rich Rodriguez’s non-passing offense was mangled.

Kansas State 41 (7) Texas 21
The Red River shootout is monumental. Annually, championship implications are present. Unfortunately, the mediocre cannot contend. Following Oklahoma’s meltdown, Texas incinerated the clash.

Maryland 34 (10) Rutgers 24
In 2006, Cincinnati ruined Rutgers. Following Louisville and West Virginia’s collapse, the Scarlet Knights were presumed conference champions. Pathetically, Maryland dominated them.
