A Long Drive

After the Tech football game on Saturday Velvet and I packed up the kids and headed down to VA Beach for my niece's 5th birthday party. We get down there in good time (about 5 hours flat) and hung out with my sister for about two hours before heading over to the hotel. On the way to the hotel it became more than apparent that my son was not feeling good. After a couple hours of cleaning up and doing some laundry I finally make it to bed around midnight. The kids wake up around 7:00am and Andrew is not any better. I called my sister to inform her we wouldn't be able to stick around for the party and by 11:00am we were on the road back to Blacksburg. We made it home around 4:30pm. So I wasn't able to watch very much college football on Saturday, but based on the highlights and scores here is my new "top 5 teams most likely to play in the national championship" game list:

1. Ohio State

No change here, but with Michigan's unexpected win over Notre Dame it makes their season finale really interesting.

2. West Virginia

Only one opponent on their schedule can beat them.

3. Michigan

A very weak schedule with the exception of Notre Dame and Ohio State. If they can beat Ohio State in Columbus they will probably be #2 in the country.

4. Auburn

A nice win over LSU, if they can win out they are in, but a tough road ahead.

5. USC

A nice win over Nebraska, but was anyone else unimpressed with the game overall? I'm losing faith...

Honorable Mention: Louisville

And for you Hokie fans out there, I hope you paid attention to that Clemson game. It's going to be an interesting Thursday night when Clemson comes to town.
