Note to Tim Tebow. This is what you liked after losing to Alabama. If I had to guess, Johnny Manziel probably hopped in a newer Mercedes, dropped a dime at a nearby casino, signed a booster's hat with "Dear Old Dude with Money, thanks for the dough!", and spent the evening with 3 or 4 Crimsonettes of his choosing - because that's how he rolls.
Giving credit where due, Show Me the Money has the single best strategic suggestion I've ever heard for my hometown Jaguar squad. Sign Tebow and draft Manziel and watch the fire and water combo for all it's worth.
As for the game - two takeaways. Johnny manziel might be a little reckless with the ball but he has stones - serious stones. He shredded Bama like it was a high school team and the pick six he gave up, the difference int he game, was not his fault. He was all entertainment. McCarron was, as usual, efficient and effective - like toast. Looking at the young season and the defending champ, it's hard to say what the Tide really is. The offense looked containable against Virginia Tech. The defense looked beatable against A&M. Special teams are out of this world. The schedule though, is light for a while - probably until LSU strolls into town. I think the Tide remains a mystery.
On the other hand, Oregon is no mystery. It's the same lethal killing machine it has been for a while. And this time is plied its wares on SEC turf. Tennessee isn't what it once was but what Oregon did to the Vols isn't something you are going to see an SEC team do.

The Results
Overview
BK all day holds onto the top spot for the second week running while I have locked in 19th place, at least until Peter Pantsless catches me (I hope I never say THAT in real life.)Despite missing a week, Peter Pantsless is two point behind me. I swear I watch NCAA football. I'm just an idiot - apparently.
Movers and Shakers
Augusta DayStrippers makes a big jump from 9th to 2nd with a 12 points. but Boardwalk Empire was the really big mover, going from 16th to 5th with his week's best 13 points. On the down side, A2 Boiler dropped 6 spots to 15th after forgetting to pick the early games (and he still only had one fewer than me.) Fat Little Girlfriends took a huge plunge from 2nd to 11th with a tepid 6 point performance.
Best Pick Award
Boardwalk Empire and BigOrange with Vandy.
Worst Pick Award
GoBlue with Tulsa
Stat of the Week
A week after everyone in the pool scored int he double digits, only 7 players out of 20 did.
Special News Feature!
As you may have heard, Deadspin was tipped about an audio recording of me taken prior to an interview regarding the opening of the 2013 BUCFP Season. If I offended anyone with what I said, I apologize. This, off the record but sincere, remark in no way reflects how I sincerely feel. Int he interest of disclosure, I've provided the transcript for you hear - I don't want you to read some scribe's interpretation - I want you to read the real thing:
