The Agony Meter...

A glance at how our alma maters are faring after week four.

Lots o' agony: Arizona State
Not even 99-degree weather could derail the Georgia Bulldogs from mashing Arizona State into a pile of bloody entrails. And on network television, too, with the all-important Kirk Herb watching. The Sun Devils were a heavy underdog, yes. And the vistas from the Outback Steakhouse blimp made Tempe look very pretty. But for ASU fans, the loss still sucked to watch.

Definitely more than a little agony: Southern Methodist
Another decapitation and another he-makes-me-wanna-gouge-my-eyeballs-out performance by freshman QB Bo Levi Mitchell. I was never a close observer of Hawaii football, but I can't ever remember Colt Brennan or Timmy Chang looking this bad.

A dash of agony: Boston College
The Eagles put the kibosh on Central Florida at home. But c'mon, beating UCF is about as satisfying as eating McDonalds every day for a month. B.C.'s starting QB looked like a ham sandwich running the offense, while the Eagle kicker missed one from inside the 10. And with few cupcake games left, it will soon be time to run for the hills.
