An Interesting Season

What an interesting college football season! Oklahoma is ranked #1, Missouri #4, and Texas
#5. Three big 12 teams among the nation's top 5! The conference has six teams among the top 25, the most of any conference.

Upset Special

The #1 ranked USC Trojans lost at Oregon State Thursday night 27-21. The loss makes things very interesting for teams like Oklahoma, Georgia, Florida, LSU and Missouri in terms of the
national championship race.

A Silver Lining

The Royals completed a sweep of their series in Detroit with a 10-4 win Wednesday night.
Kansas City has won 11 of 18 games against the Tigers this season. The Royals are a game above the Tigers in the American League Central. The season series victory for Kansas City over Detroit might be enough to allow the Royals to finish above Detroit, and out of last place in the divsion this season.
