Daily Round-Up: December 5th, 2010

 
Jason Garrett is looking SO good
 
Chris Ivory torched the Bengals D, who once again cost them a win

Jay Cutler having no turnovers helped the Bears win in the end

San Francisco D could not limit the big play against Green Bay

Chris Johnson continues toward his goal of 2500 yards... maybe he should have made it 1500

Knowshon Moreno ran for 7.0 yards/carry, yet Kyle Orton was 9/28?

The Browns won a game without a TD from Peyton Hillis... this team is really doing a nice job

Tavaris Jackson might be standing in Brett Favre's consecutive games played streak

The Redskins had 6 fumbles, losing 4 of them....
Lack of a running game killed Philip Rivers. It didn't hurt that the Raiders racked up 251 rushing yards to the Chargers 21

Jason Garrett is making a case to come back next year. He is 3-1 and beating Indy is special, even if they are struggling

Arizona has no offense.... zero

Seahawks outscore Panthers 28-0 in second half, including a interception return for a TD by Lofa Tatupu

Matty Ice shakes off 2 INT's to lead the Falcons back against the Buccaneers.


MLB:

Jason Werth has agreed to a 7 year/$126 million contract with the Washington Nationals, who recently lost Adam Dunn to the ChiSox

The Cardinals have signed Lance Berkman, whom they expect to be their opening day LF with Matt Holliday moving over to RF

The Red Sox were not able to agree to an extension with Adrian Gonzalez, and the deal now appears to be in jeopardy


NCAA FB:

Notre Dame and Miami have accepted invitations to the Sun Bowl on December 31

Northwestern will face Texas Tech in TicketCity Bowl on January 1

Illinois will face Baylor in the Texas Bowl on December 29

BC will take on Nevada in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl on January 9

Northern Illinois squares off against Fresno State in the Humanitarian Bowl on December 18

Final SEC Power Rankings in 2010

  1. Auburn-- The best team in the country? Debatable. Best in the SEC? No question at all. Coming back from 24-0 against a team the caliber of Alabama shows heart and determination. Oh, and Cam Newton's all good to go.
  2. Arkansas-- The TexArkannon has this team looking at an At-Large bid in a BCS game. This is the hottest team in the country right now.
  3. South Carolina-- A 3 game winning streak has SC in the SEC Championship game. Lattimore is kicking ass and taking names along with Stephen Garcia making very good decisions.
  4. LSU-- Taken out of the BCS scenario with the loss to Arkansas but still a very hard team to deal with. 10-2 is a helluva season.
  5. Mississippi State-- Dan Mullen won his second consectutive Egg Bowl and has this team on a roll. Seeing this team playing better than Georgia and Florida is very difficult.
  6. Alabama-- Gave up 28 points in the biggest three quarters of their season has this team at an all time low since 2007.
  7. Tennessee-- A 2-6 start to the year had Vol fans panicing. A 4-0 finish has the Volunteers in a bowl game and looking forward to the off-season (for once).
  8. Florida-- Pure ugliness. The offense looks horrible and the defense is very young. This team will have  another great recruiting class and come back next year with a new offensive coordinator. Let's hope so at least.
  9. Georgia-- They beat their rivals to get into a bowl game but this team was supposed to compete for a SEC title this year. 6-6 is NOT cream of the crop caliber in the SEC. I believe Mark Richt can right the ship, but the chips are all on the table in the 2011 season.
  10. Kentucky-- Operation Win continues. A 6-6 season and a bowl game is good for Joker Phillips, but the loss to Mississippi in the beginning of the year killed them. This team looks poised to stay 6-6/7-5 in the SEC for the next few years.
  11. Mississippi-- Houston Nutt had one of his worst rosters of his career at Ole Miss and the record proved it. With a new quarterback coming in next year, Ole Miss needs to rebuild quickly to get back on track in the SEC West.
  12. Vanderbilt-- Can't defend against anyone. Can't offend anyone. Now with a new coach ready to come in, this continues to be the toughest job in the SEC.
