BCS Standings

Top 9 unchanged in BCS standings

The annual BCS puzzle looks fairly clear this year.

Notre Dame, which completed an undefeated regular season Saturday, is No. 1 in the latest BCS standings and has secured a spot in the Discover BCS National Championship Game.

The Fighting Irish will almost certainly play the winner of the SEC Championship Game, to be played Saturday between No. 2 Alabama and No. 3 Georgia.

The top 9 teams remained unchanged in this week's standings. Next Sunday's edition is the final one of the 2012 season.

After the championship, the BCS picture is still as murky as the Florida swamps. The No. 4 Gators could secure a bid in the Allstate Sugar Bowl if they pass the Alabama-Georgia loser in next week's standings.

"If you think about what the game means, this that and the other, it doesn't really help you win the game," Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "The only thing that helps you win the game is preparation and getting your mind ready to go to battle. That's what you've got to do."

If the loser of the SEC championship falls below Florida, it could find itself out of the BCS picture altogether because the No. 3 team is guaranteed a BCS bowl bid and no more than two schools per conference can receive bids.

"For either one of these teams, it's not really a great scenario," Alabama coach Nick Saban said.

At the other end of the standings, No. 17 Kent State (11-1) is just one place away from earning a spot in a BCS bowl after moving up six places this week.

The Golden Flashes play No. 21 Northern Illinois in the Mid-American Conference championship on Friday. If the winner of that game moves up to No. 16 and remains ahead of a conference champion from an automatic-qualifying school, it will crash the BCS party.

The MAC has never sent a team to the BCS.

There is no Big East team ranked in the top 25, and there is room for Kent State to move up if No. 16 UCLA loses to No. 8 Stanford in the Pac-12 Championship Game on Friday and No. 18 Texas loses at No. 6 Kansas State.

No. 20 Boise State also has an outside chance to break into the top 16. The Broncos play Nevada on Saturday to earn a share of the Mountain West title.

The team that could be hurt most if a BCS buster emerges is No. 11 Oklahoma. With a final victory against TCU, they would seem to be in good shape to get into the BCS even if Kansas State clinches the Big 12 by beating Texas. But that at-large spot could get gobbled up by a BCS buster.

The other big movers in this week's standings came from the ACC. No. 13 Florida State dropped three spots after losing to Florida on Saturday, and No. 14 Clemson also fell three spots after losing to South Carolina, which cracked the top 10.

The Pac-12 was more fortunate. UCLA actually moved up one spot to No. 16 after losing to Stanford, and No. 15 Oregon State did not move after losing to No. 5 Oregon.

Food for thought!

Before you "assume" try a method called, "asking."

Walking your stock

The holiday weekend is over and back to reality for alot of folks.  But I always figured after memorial day weekend you probably should be thinking about getting you stock out of their pens and start to take them on small walks in your excercise area.  This is going to cut down on alot of problems later.

Congrats Collin Kreger

Congrats to Collin Kreger!  Grand Overall @ Cass Co. MI jackpot show today.  Sold in our March online sale.  Congrats on grabbin a banner Collin!  Pics to come.

Heat

Keeping your stock cool and comfortable this season is vital to their growth and performance.  They need to be able to get out of the direct sunlight and have adequate, clean, fresh water at all times.  And no, a stock tank is not acceptable for pigs.   Remember if your pig doesn't drink, they don't eat either.  You may consider a fan or some way to move the air in their environment.  Also if you are concerned about your projects intake do to the heat you may want to supplement a low dose of electrolytes.  This will help your project stay hydrated.  Good luck and beat the heat!

Facebook

I will be very interested to watch facebook on the stock market now.  It shall be very interesting.  Just so you know,  they went public today.

Wyoming!!!!

Good for the pigs and good for the family.

Here we go again.

Once again, there is a difference between a showpig that is good now and one that will grab a banner in August.  If you are confused by this statement, start visiting with those that are successful.  Good luck to all jackpot exhibitors this weekend.  Safe travels!

Do you want to win?

Just a thought!

Hang in there!

Remember that a good showpig cannot look great everyday.  It really only matters what they look like the day of your targeted show.  Don't give up on your project because they have not looked the part for a week or so.  Usually the ones that win in in August, don't start looking like showpigs till they reach 150# - 175#.  If the basics of the animal are right, you got a shot!

Fundraiser

Check it out!

By now you probably have your projects home and thinking what next.  The first thing on the management list, would be to make sure everything is healthy.  Communicate with the breeder or breeders that you have purchased from and find out what they have been vaccinated with.  If you think you may need to give a booster, visit with your vet.  Never vaccinate any animals if they are not healthy, it will only make things worse.
