Grr... I bet Rutgers is demolishing KSU right now, but I can't watch it because dishes just don't work very well here... 
ummmm........
Extremely normal.
I thought the NFL Network made deals with the major cable providers there . . .
It's 14-10 Rutgers atm, 9:53 left in the first half . . .

Wow, it's been a while...
They were until KSU returned a punt back for a TD. 14-10 right now in the 2nd.

If they have, I have yet to find out about it...
By the way, Cal has two number 10s. Is that allowed?
tcjsavannah
Wow, it's been a while...
Yes, in college. It's fruity but it's allowed. The two players can not play the same side of the ball, and they can't be on the field at the same time. If they're going to be, one of them has to get a different jersey and wear it.

Yeah, there's no limit to the number of people you can bring to a bowl game, so a lot of the guys you don't normally see will be there.
Alabama's punter shares number eleven with Matt Caddell, a receiver who plays a good bit (and got a TD today).
EDIT: btw, that was Alabama's worst defensive effort of the year, statistically speaking. We gave up one more yard to OSU than we did to LSU

I just found out that the Rutgers game was on cable...
...if you live in New Jersey.

The real shakeup should be tomorrow, with Tomoyo picking Missouri and Houston. With augurey picking Kentucky and Missouri and LLXerxes picking Purdue, Fetus and tcjsavannah should be left alone at the top, assuming the favorites all win . . .
EDIT: Fetus and tcjsavannah have the same picks for the rest of the bowl season except for the title game, which tcjsavannah didn't pick. So it's entirely possible that will be the deciding factor. OTOH, they both picked USC over UM and Boise State over Oklahoma, so those should be chances for the rest of the field to catch up . . .

You're assuming that Missouri and Houston will lose?
ummmm........
Extremely normal.
Well, I said "assuming the favorites all win". Missouri and Houston are definitely not the favorites . . .
Missouri's a three and a half point underdog, Houston's a five and a half point underdog . . .
EDIT: Troy, San Jose State and FSU are the teams to have won from the underdog position so far this bowl season . . .

SJSU wasn't an underdog. Most people recognize that New Mexico is a weak team. Thusly, we weren't shocked when they beat New Mexico.
The Clemson Kentucky game is starting to turn crazy. A lot of missed field goals, turnovers, and wacky penalties.
EDIT: 4 turnovers in 3 minutes
ummmm........
Extremely normal.
New Mexico was favored by three points. Ergo, San Jose State was the underdog . . .

Seriously? What idiots picked that line?
And Clemson Kentucky seems to be the best bowl game so far this year, quite interesting. Kentucky, oddly, is completely outcoaching Clemson. 14-6
EDIT: Kentucky completes another long pass! What's going on here?!
ummmm........
Extremely normal.
You have to keep in mind that New Mexico was playing at home. That's usually worth 2-3 points all by itself.
EDIT: I'd also like to point out that augurey was the only CFCer to pick UK. I'm not saying they're gonna win, I'm just sayin' . . .
EDIT EDIT: And augurey's looking like a genius . . .
