... and Jupiter aligns with Mars. College football was really shaken up today. Just last week, pundits were crying about having 8 unbeaten teams, with a possibility of 7 at the end of the season. This week the college football gods answered with 4 of the Top 10 ranked unbeaten teams losing in upsets.

Now we are left with 4 unbeatens, one of which is Bowling Green who will probably never enter the BCS picture. This week, some pundits will undoubtedly be crying that there aren't enough unbeaten teams. Ohio State has the best chance to stay unbeaten, as Oklahoma will probably face Texas again in the Big 12 Championship game, and Miami still has some tough games ahead.

While I was obviously disappointed to see Virginia Tech lose, I was absolutely giddy when Boston College beat Notre Dame. Notre Dame's offense was ranked 109th in the NCAA which is why I've been picking them to lose every week for the past month. After beating Pitt and Air Force in close games, it was only a matter of time before the luck of the Irish ran out. I do want to know who the idiot is that gave Notre Dame a first place vote in the AP and Coaches poll. Perhaps that was all that was needed to jinx them.

The other losses are a tough Georgia loss to Florida, and NC State losing to Georgia Tech, who has been on a rebound lately. Miami also had trouble with Rutgers for the first three quarters. That is the same Rutgers that Virginia Tech had trouble with two weeks ago.

The BCS implications are clear. If there is more than two or less than two unbeaten teams, there is always going to be a BCS controversy. I can only hope that they do away with the BCS in the next couple of years and institute a playoff system. The thought of letting a National Champion be selected by computers, and not how teams play on the field is still disheartening.
