Punky's Rodents 16th?

Punky Brewster’s Rodents beat the stuffin’ out of Bowling Green (ok, BG helped out), who whipped number 17 Pittsburgh last week.

Pitts beat Buffalo this week (whoopee!). Just about every other Midwest big time pigskin program was underwhelming. In fact, Bowling Green State was the best football team in Ohio. The Nuts looked bad sneaking past Ohio U’s Bobcats. Michigan was squeaking by the other Miami (not the football factory one that the Gators whipped last night).

So I figure that makes the Rodents No. 16. Not that Punky’s kids will stay in that lofty spot for long, but hey, you’ve got to enjoy it while you can.

The Gators ended Miami’s hex on them, and even beat the spread – which made Murphy’s friend Gus the Gator very happy.

Elsewhere in the football interests of family and friends, Army lost to New Hampshire, (Courtney was buying hot dawgs when the Mules – that’s more fun than ‘Cadets’ – scored their only touchdown) and Drake was shut out by the Mountain Hawks (sorry Ash. Congrats, Tim).

Speaking of Dawgs, (hot or not) rookie Uga VII remains unbeaten. Will the Cocks be up for the Dawgs next week?

Next Week’s Picks

Rodents, Dawgs, Wolverines, Trojans crush the Nuts, Iowa Dawgs should beat the Statesmen from Oskaloosa, while Army gets a needed week off before playing the Zips (I’m not kidding).
