A storm-induced snow delay couldn’t help Buffalo overcome their own suckiness as they were outscored in the fourth quarter and lost at home to Miami of Oxford Ohio – a previously winless, lousy MAC team - 38-31. Due to the fact that nobody cares about this game, details of it are not easily found.

The Blows face the Ohio Bobcats this week who – in a game mentioned above - are coming off a win against Illinois, the third turd in this poll.

In their first week in the Rocky 5, EMU kept it close and even led the game 21-17 going into the fourth quarter, before losing to the Bowling Green Falcons 24-21. The Falcons scored very early in the final stanza, but the Fecals were unable to muster any offense in their futile attempt to win the game.

The MAC keeps cropping up when we talk about the worst football teams in America. The mavens that run the conference must be so pleased to have Temple joining the fray next for next season so they can call at least two of the five worst teams in the nation their own.

Our new member, The Cliffhanger team, is the Stanford Stiffs of the Pac 10. The Stiffs have been awful all year, but really outdid themselves to earn a spot in this week's poll.
In their loss to Arizona, Stanford’s only points came in the third quarter on an interception return for a touchdown and their offense could only muster 4 first downs and 53 total yards for the entire game.

Aside from a 35-34 loss to San Jose State back in Week 2, Stanford has not been in a close game all season, and besides their loss to Arizona have given up over 30 points per game while scoring on average only 11 points. Looking ahead, the Stiffs are a better than even money bet to go 0-12.

Our Rocky 5 – and the Cliffhanger - may play in some close games this week, but if I were a betting man I’d say that we’ll be talking about these same 6 teams next week. But as the old saying goes, “That’s why they play ‘em.” So we’ll see you back here next week and continue to beat this dead horse.
