This is how Bill Cosby gets ready for an exciting Tuesday MAC football game between his alma mater Temple Owls and the Ohio Bobcats. (Or Ohio Chicken Lings?)
His face at the end of the clip is priceless.

The new BCS Championship Series standings are out and here’s a look at the top 10:
1. Texas
2. Alabama
3. Penn State
4. Oklahoma
5. USC
6. Georgia
7. Texas Tech
8. Florida
9. Oklahoma State
10. Utah
Obviously the hype heading into this weekend will be about No. 1 Texas squaring off with No. 7 Texas Tech. Everyone is expecting a shootout or an upset, but I wouldn’t be shocked if the Longhorns completely dismantled Tech, either. The Red Raiders haven’t played against any team with a defense yet and UT is the most complete team in college football. But it’s going to be fun playing into the excitement that builds all week.
It’s probably fair to say that most college football fans would rather pull off one their arms and beat themselves with it than see another Big Ten team play for a national championship. But that’s exactly what might happen after Penn State defeated Ohio State 13-6 (their first win in Columbus since 1978) on Saturday night.
Joe Paterno’s bunch has just one road game left on its schedule (at Iowa next Saturday), before wrapping up the 2008 season with home contests against Indiana and Michigan. And while the Hawkeyes are an improved team, there isn’t a whole lot standing in the Nittany Lions way of running the table and finishing the year undefeated.
Those who watched Saturday night probably didn’t come away too impressed with PSU, but don’t forget that the Buckeyes have one of the most experienced defenses in the country. They held tough runner Evan Royster under 100 yards and even though Daryll Clark completed 12 of 20 passes for 121 yards, OSU’s defense battered him all night. (He even had to come out for most of the fourth quarter after taking a legal hit to the head.)
This game came down to Terrelle Pryor’s fumble early in the fourth quarter that PSU eventually turned into a touchdown. On a 3rd and 1 from the 50-yard line, Pryor tried to make a big play by bouncing outside instead of rushing forward for what should have been an easy first down. He had the ball stripped and in the end, it was the key play that turned the game around in the Lions favor. Still, he’s only a freshman and he’s got an incredible future ahead of him because despite the loss and what ESPN’s Mark May said earlier in the season, Pryor is clearly ready for prime time.
Penn State might not stand a chance against the best in the Big 12 or SEC, but outside of a bad half against Michigan last week, they’ve soundly beat opponents all season. They’re not flashy, but they play hard and do the little things right. General college football fans might not want to see another Big Ten team play for a title, but they might not have a choice after Saturday night.
In early May, the LSU Tigers kicked quarterback Ryan Perriloux off the team following multiple legal and disciplinary problems. After SEC rival Georgia trounced LSU 52-38 on Saturday, it’s clear that Perriloux is still costing his team.
Perriloux was supposed to help the Tigers win another national championship this season. But because he couldn’t fly straight, sophomore Jarrett Lee has had to step into the starting quarterback role.
While Lee has been far from bad this year (he has thrown for over 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns), he clearly is no match against tougher SEC opponents like UGA. Although he did throw for three touchdowns, the Bulldogs befuddled Lee at times, forcing him into three interceptions and some rather costly mistakes.
But Lee deserves a pass this season. He was supposed to be on the sidelines watching Perriloux run the offense. And perhaps even worse than Lee having to play is the idea that Perriloux also drove away blue chip prospects who didn’t want to ride the bench because he would block their playing time.
Even though Les Miles has kept his team in contention much of this year, one got the feeling that eventually LSU’s inexperience on both sides of the ball would doom them. It did against Florida two weeks ago, and certainly did once again on Saturday vs. the Bulldogs. Matthew Stafford abused a young Tiger secondary, which opened up running lanes for Heisman candidate Knowshon Moreno, who rushed for 163 yards and a touchdown. All in all, it was an impressive performance by UGA.
The NCAA record for competition percentage by a quarterback is 73.6% held by Daunte Culpepper of Central Florida in 1998.
Coming into Saturday’s action, Texas’ QB Colt McCoy had a completion percentage of 81.2%. He completed 38 of 45 passes (84%) for 391 yards in the Longhorns’ 28-24 win over Oklahoma State. Will he break Culpepper’s mark?
The knock on McCoy this year is that he completes most of his passes under 10 yards and allows his receivers to rack up yards after the catch. But if defenses game plan to take away the big play, why is McCoy criticized for taking what the defense gives him? Isn’t that what a good quarterback does? Granted he doesn’t play in a conference dominated by tough defenses, but again, that’s not his fault. Even though there’s a lot of talk about him being the frontrunner for the Heisman, you hear a lot of “fraud” talk as well, perhaps more so than any other Heisman candidate over the past couple of years.
Moving on, Oklahoma State deserves a ton of credit for hanging with the Longhorns on Saturday and shouldn’t drop too far in the rankings. UT jumped ahead 14-0 early, but the Cowboys answered the bell and had their chances to even win the game had the capitalized more on Texas mistakes. Some might discredit the Longhorns after this, but don’t forget that this was their third tough challenge in as many weeks. To suggest Texas played poorly would be a slap in the face to the Cowboys’ effort.
