The Most Hated Man in Hoosier Land and Other Thoughts on this Week's Top 25

What was Bret Bilema thinking this weekend? Bielma is the head coach at Wisconsin and his Badgers stuck it to the Indiana Hoosiers 83-20. Yep, that score is correct. Why would Bielma embarrass Indiana like that. Sure, he has a high powered offense and putting up 83 on a bad Indiana team might please his boosters up in Madison. But, Bielma needs to remember what goes around comes around. At some point in the future Bielma is going to find himself in the position that Mack Brown is this weekend.

Brown is the head coach at Texas and the Longhorns lost yet again yesterday. This time they got soundly thrashed by Oklahoma State. The Cowboys beat the Longhorns 33-16 in a game that really wasn't that close. Brown is going to have a lot of 'splaining to do to his big money oilmen that support the program. The Dead Horns have lost four in a row and six of their last seven. And the rest of the Big XII is taking great delight in Texas's misfortunes.

Oregon is fortunate to still be undefeated. The Ducks won
15-13, but dodged a bullet when California missed a 29 yard field goal in the fourth quarter. To make matters worse for the Golden Bears, a 24 yard field goal that had been good was wiped out by a penalty. The Bears moved back five yards and kicker Giorgio Tavecchio decided it would be a good time to miss. Oregon remains undefeated and will still be ranked #1 when the new polls are released.
