Franklin is going to make Vandy more relevant than they perhaps have ever been if he stays long enough, but I don't think Franklin will be in Nashville very long. The top of the SEC is no doubt the best football teams in the country, but the quality of depth in the SEC isn't want people say it is. Just like every other major conference, the SEC has 2-3 elite teams always in the mix for the National Championship, 3-4 good teams that can upset a big dog at any time and then 3-4 shit teams.

I've notice ESPN and others are bashing Oklahoma State for their 84-0 beat down against Savannah State calling it an ultimate cupcake and money-grab game but they barely say the same when other big name schools or conferences do the same.
ESPN even had an article that basically teased nothing should count towards the Heisman race from that game even though a few of the other supposed Heisman candidates had great Week 1 stats from "cupcake"-level opponents. |

The difference is Savannah State sucks at the FCS level. At least when you play an App State, Georgia Southern, etc - they are good football teams at the FCS level. Savannah State is fucking stupid for doing this. Their AD should be fired because getting beat 84-0 will do more harm that that money will do good. It will be a few years before recruits forget this game.

Fortunately Sam Ficken is a student at a campus that has rediscovered the value of perspective rather than an undying devotion to football. He'll be fine.

Ouch at the news from the Tulsa-Tulane game on ESPN's website.
Tulane teammates crash into each other during a head-to-head hit against Tulsa with one player suffering a broken neck and collapsed lung. http://espn.go.com/college-football/...apsed-lung-hit |

Pretty gutted Mizzou got smashed at the end. Was a hell of an intense game.
That Air Force vs Michigan game was surprisingly great too. Would have been brilliant to have seen them pull that off. |

Michigan State better not be getting big heads just because they beat Boise and a "little guy" team so far...ND is VERY dangerous, and they are going to be hungry to be able to say they took down a top 10 team, and not only that, a Big Ten team who's right now the favorite for a Rose Bowl bid.

Yes. Lansing Everett, no real notable football stars, but OBVI you've heard of our local basketball product, Magic Johnson. He and his sister were actually inducted into the citywide sports hall of fame about 3 weeks - a month ago.

It's week 3 and I already think Bama can be safely penciled in to the title game.

USC got upset last night so according to the new poll, its back to Bama and LSU as the #1 and #2 seeds with Georgia (#5) as the backup SEC team in case the BCS and polls set up another SEC vs SEC title game.
Oregon (#3) and Florida State (#4) are the closest non-SEC teams ranked. |

Pleased so far with Jeff Driskel's play this season, especially yesterday against Tennessee. Still not quite sold on Will Muschamp as coach though, dunno why.

I could see Stanford getting ahead of OU should they beat Oregon near the end of the season and stay undefeated considering Stanford's resume would have wins over a #2 seed at the time and whatever seed Oregon is when they play.

If Florida State can keep winning by large margins they probably have a better shot leapfrogging a #2 ranked SEC team. Provided they get by Clemson and don't get rattled by playing in one of the most underrated tough places to play (Blacksburg) against one of the most consistently overrated teams (VA Tech), they should end undefeated with the ACC Title.
But JS is right. If OU goes undefeated, they should be a shoe in for the BCS title game. And I would much rather see Oregon somehow play West Virginia in a BCS bowl than see them play another SEC team in the Championship game. |

I like Stanford as PAC-12 champion, especially if their defense is as disruptive against Oregon as it was USC. But I don't know if they'll be good enough to make it to number 2. Probably a Rose Bowl berth.

Even as an OU fan, I will be the first to admit that the BCS has given OU plenty of love but this is the potential year where I worry that not having a Big XII Championship game might hurt us. The Pac 12 and Big 10 will both get a boost from the game as they will play a ranked team in the title game. I'm wondering if Nick Saban can keep Alabama focused with all the knob-slobbering that will be going on until/if they lose. They were pretty damn hot in 2010 and beat Penn State in Week 3 and then hammered Florida (who was #7 at the time) before falling to South Carolina. They then lost to LSU and Auburn (who came back from a crazy deficit at half). If OU does go to the BCS Title Game, I want them to beat an SEC team so they can get every monkey off their back (can't win the big game, SEC dominance, etc.)

I don't think you have to worry about a Big 10 team stealing OU's spot this year.

I still think Florida State and Notre Dame are overhyped and will drop a couple games each. The SEC East will probably end up being a clusterfuck. The SEC West (and more than likely the SEC Championship) looks like it will be decided in Baton Rouge on November 3rd. I don't think a repeat of last year's LSU/Bama II match-up is even a possibility this year because of the ensuing shitstorm. LSU hasn't played anybody yet and won't play anybody until they start their muderer's row in October thru November when they have @Florida, vs S Car, @ Texas A&M, vs Alabama, and vs Mississippi State. They end with Arkansas, who looks like dogshit, but that game is always a toss up. Stanford/Oregon will be the marquee game in the Pac 12, but there are always a couple of random upsets in the Pac 12 every year that fuck the whole thing up BCS wise. Oregon hasn't played anybody and it's hard to tell if they are just better than everybody or just really damn good. Big 12 wise, it looks like it will come down to Kansas State, West Virginia, Texas, and OU. I think KSU is too one-dimensional and Texas hasn't looked like they are still a year away from being back to being "TEXAS". OU likes to look like shit against average teams and Texas isn't going to get beat like a rented mule this year again. West Virginia looks legit and they can fucking score some points. OU goes to WVU so WVU will have a slight edge going into that game. TCU could sneak into the mix of things, but their last 4 games of the season are @WVU, vs KSU, @ Texas, and vs OU. Hell of a stretch for a team to go through unscathed. OU also plays Notre Dame in Norman on Oct. 27 (tickets are projected to be insanely expensive once it gets closer) and that will be an electric game that both teams will be up for and Notre Dame will be looking to get its biggest win in ages that night. If the Sooners can't establish a running game and play better run defense, the National Title hopes might die against Kansas State on Saturday. Kind of boring this year because there no non-BCS schools that have a shot this year. A lot of big time football games though with all sorts of names teasing potential runs at Conference Championships and BCS Bowls. |
