Football Weekend's Best

NCAA FOOTBALL

UPSET: Clemson takes down 21 Auburn to snap a 17-game winning streak.


TEAM UNIT: Les Miles' LSU Defense.

PLAYER: Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina. 37 carries for 246 yards and 3 TDs in a 24-21 W against a pesky Navy ballclub.

TEAM: Oklahoma Sooners.  A 23-13 W against 5 Florida State in Tallahassee showed the Sooners are for real.  Honorable Mentions should be made for LSU and Alabama.  I predict Oklahoma to meet the winner of LSU-Alabama for the BCS National Championship.

NFL

UPSET: It's the NFL, there really aren't any upsets.  But, the Tennessee Titans' thrashing of the visiting Baltimore Ravens caught some by surprise.  After looking unbeatable in a Week 1 against the rival Steelers, the Ravens were beat by the Titans 26-13.


TEAM UNIT: Detroit Lions Offense/Defense.  Stafford and company put up 48 points, while the defense forced 6 turnovers allowing only 3 points against the Chiefs.  Safe to say this was a complete W for the Lions as they move to 2-0 en route to a long-awaited playoff berth.


PLAYER: Really?

TEAM: Again, really?  It's that guy (up there) and his comrades in New England.  An honorable mention could be made for the defending champion Packers, but as long as Brady is healthy - look out.  As of now, look for these two teams to square off in February.
