Arkansas might want to reduce the 10 month contract that they gave John L Smith.

LSU defense was dominating

Missouri got a lesson on how "old man" football finishes games

Aggies played well, but the Freshman QB is going to have his hands full....if he is able to stay healthy

Michigan ..... what can you say?

Congrats to ULM....

USC has a powerful tandem of receivers. But this kid out of oregon . . . or OUT OF LA to be exact, De anthony Thomas, this kid is scary good. A heart attack waitin to happen for defenders. Ive seen this kid since youth football and high school, just lights out. Oregon will not lose another game this year, with only 1 team with the firepower and guns to stand in their way. Should they be fortunate enough to make it to the title game, they will defeat Alabama or LSU for sure. Same with the Returning Empire.

Times when my job sucks:
I had to watch Iowa/ISU three times to break down film on a host of late-round and free agent NFL prospects. After the first 8 minutes the score was 9-3. It ended 9-6. Can I have the five hours of my life back please. At least I got to say Steel Jantz a lot...
It's not whether you win or lose, it's how good you look playing the game

USC's defense is terrible. No way should they be ranked #2.

Also very surprised that we don't generate more discussion in this part of the forum.

I've said it before...Matt Barkley is ridiculously overrated and everyone outside of LALA Land knows he's not this mythical god at QB that the media portrays him as. Barkley looks good when he can stand comfortably in the pocket and throw to a wide open Marqise Lee or Robert Woods. Otherwise, he's pretty average in terms of being an NFL prospect at QB.

The media had anointed USC in the BCS title game before they even stepped on the field.

Syracuse was an eye opener, and last night was reality.

I think USC drops at least two more games .....

Well they dropped to #13 in the latest AP rankings which I feel is pretty justified. I agree with you though, I can easily see them dropping a couple more games.
