For those unfamiliar with my misguided view of the sports world, mainly bad picks and deriding bad players, this column usually appears on Wednesday. Due to the holiday known as fall break, the Gamecock was not published two days ago. Did you really think such a huge week in sports would go by without me having something to say? Come on now, you should know me better than that! Still second best Correct me if Fm wrong (and I know you will), but if the best team in the nation loses than it should follow that the No. 2 team would take over the top spot. Well I witnessed a strange phenomana, now to be identified as "poll vaulting," this week. As everyone 1 it _!_Lj rn j. n.A i a__i Knows, me migniy r ionaa uarors iosi hi auuuiti Saturday, but second-ranked Nebraska won its game. Somehow or another, the third-ranked Nittany lions ofPenn State jumped the Comhuskers and are now ranked No. 1.

Bowden's Tigers something, but I thought it was customary that the No. 2 team would be first in line for the top spot. Well, you learn something new every day. Three's a charm. As I just mentioned, Penn State is now the top team in the nation. I really don't agree with this for two reasons. The first reason is the fact that Nebraska should be the top team. The second reason Fll get to later. Add the fact that the Lions are idle tliis week, and the polls really start to stink. My roommate says that I don't give the Lions any credit, and it's true... I haven't. I will humbly admit that the lions did beat Michigan in Ann Arbor. The battle of the runningbacks was won by Kyana Carter, but Wheatley made his mark as well. In his two touchdown runs, Tyrone Wheatley displayed the talent that makes him one of the top backs in the nation. On second thought After watching the Flori- . da game Saturday, something came to ma Auburn is undoubtably the best team in the nation. Apparently Bear Bryant has pissed God off, uecnuse uie ngeitt nave nut iu?i a game iii a jcai and a half. That feat alone should count for something.

At the begining of the season, I downplayed his ability as Florida drubbed opponent after opponent. Then, just recently, I started to believe he was as good as everyone claims. What does he do? Four interceptions against Auburn only to be rescued by Danny Weurffel in the second half. You can always tell a Heisman hopful from a hopeless when a big game comes around, and four INTs in a big game does not help Terry's cause. Ken's Sunday supper. I was first disheartend by the fact that there was a college game on Sunday night. After I heard it was going to be Rice against No. 12 Texas, I was even more appalled. Enter Ken Hatfield and the Rice Owls who haven't beaten Texas in 29 years. (My parents had just graduated from high school bade then.) The Owls surprisingly beat Texas and became the front runners for a Cotton Bowl berth. Ken Hatfield better be careful; he gets fired if he wins too much. Skip to my Lou. Someone once said I am to biased against certain teams. Imagine that, a biased editorial. One team that deserves my comments more than anyone else is the Notre Dame Fighting I Wish.
