Voting Day in Georgia
It's a good thing that I cleared my schedule today. I knew the lines would be long (which they weren't, I waited 8 minutes), but I had no idea how much free stuff I could get with my "I'm a Georgia Voter" sticker. First, I went to Starbucks for my free cup of coffee. Then I was off to Krispy Kreme for my free star-shaped donut (with red, white and blue sprinkles on top). I headed over to Chick-Fil-A for my free chicken sandwich, then decided I was in the mood for dessert. So I found the closest Ben & Jerry's for my free scoop of ice cream. Now, I'm so hyped up from all of the sugar and caffeine that I'm going to paint the house... twice. ME

BCS Rankings
Things certainly got shaken up this week with Texas losing to Texas Tech. Poor Joe Pa and his Nittany Lions dropped to third without playing one snap, and Alabama slid into the top spot for the first time (during regular season play) since 1980. Auburn has completely fallen off the radar... Here are the top five and their remaining schedules (rankings based on CBS Sportsline's Top 120).
Alabama faces LSU (16), Mississippi State (72) and Auburn (60), then Florida (5) in the SEC Championship.
Texas Tech has it's work cut out with Oklahoma State (9) and Oklahoma (6), then finishes with Baylor (92).
Penn State has their usual easy opponents with Iowa (45), Indiana (77) and Michigan State (19). The computer rankings will kill them even if they win out, which they should.
Texas should also win out with Baylor (92), Kansas (26) and Texas A&M (65). Poor Baylor... they close out their schedule with Texas and Texas Tech.
Florida takes the next four weeks off with Vandy (46), South Carolina (38), the Citadel (NR) and Florida State University (23).
