Here's hoping for a historic election night... As for our alma mater's there's plenty of agony to spread around this week...(Tie) Loads o' agony: Boston College
Top billing in this week's edition of The Agony Meter is a tossup. Let's start with B.C., which lost ugly at home to mediocre Clemson. It's a tough loss from a conference standings standpoint. The game itself was a tough one to swallow. B.C. was down 17-0, only to rally to take the lead late 21-17. But special teams and defensive breakdowns, which are becoming routine, sealed the Eagles' fate.
(Tie) Loads o' agony: Arizona State
A late Sun Devils rally is stymied when QB Rudy Carpenter's 2-point conversion is intercepted. Arizona State played better in this game than they have as of late. The loss, however, pushes them to the brink of bowl elimination.
Dash o' agony: Southern Methodist
As Ian points out, not having to play means that the Mustangs are not at risk of losing. Still, SMU finds itself coming out of the bye week winless in conference. Bye or not, that's not a pleasant feeling.
If I were a Wall Street man, I'd short sell: Texas Tech. They're a good team and deserve all the praise coming their way. But their luck is likely to end soon against one of the two state schools from Oklahoma.
Stock way undervalued: Dallas Cowboys. We put this team on the short sell list a few weeks ago. The thinking was they were overhyped and ready for a fall... Now, the opposite is true. Once QB Tony Romo comes back, the 'Boys will get much better.
The Crystal Ball (Election Preview...)
The Crystal Ball takes a whack at Election Night... The results are closer than expected, but Obama pulls out wins in Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Virginia, Florida and Pennsylvania. McCain will win Georgia, Ohio, North Carolina and Missouri. (Like no one else is making the same predictions...)
