OK, I'm an SEC guy so I take note of these little things. Michigan got undressed at home today against Appalchian State. Sure, they're Division II champions, or whatever, but man that has to be a hard thing for you Big 10 fans to swallow.

Not that it matters now, but was Illinois win over Ohio State a Fraud?
REPORT: BIG TEN REF HAS GAMBLING, FINANCIAL PROBLEMS
Josh Peter of Yahoo Sports reports that Big Ten referee Stephen Pamon, whose officiating crew was widely criticized late this season, filed for bankruptcy in 2002, and two of the creditors were casinos.
Peter reports that there is no evidence linking Pamon to betting on games, but there are concerns any time an official is involved in gambling. Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany would say only, "I don't have any comment on that right now."
According to the Yahoo report, Pamon and his wife filed for bankruptcy in 2002, amassing $429,407 in liabilities. Two of the creditors were casinos. A sister-in-law of Pamon's says gambling losses led to the couple filing for bankruptcy.
Other details about Pamon's life revealed by Yahoo include that he was charged with beating three of his girlfriend's sons in 1997, that he was allegedly fired by the Chicago Police Department in 1996 after two female officers accused him of sexual harassment, and that one of his former wives accused him of striking her and sexually assaulting her niece.
Pamon's seven-man officiating crew made several controversial calls in the November 3 Purdue-Penn State game, and the entire crew was suspended for one week as a result. But that suspension did not take effect until after the Nov. 10 weekend, when the crew worked the Illinois-Ohio State game, in which Illinois' first touchdown was set up by the officials incorrectly ruling an Illinois running back down when in reality he had fumbled.
As the referee, Pamon was about 50 yards away and was not the official responsible for calling that Illinois fumble on the field. The Big Ten has not explained why the fumble was not reviewed via instant replay, although Ohio State coach Jim Tressel has said he was told there was a problem with the replay equipment. It is not clear how many of the bad calls in the Purdue-Penn State game were Pamon's responsibility. The Big Ten does not release evaluations of specific officials' performances.

SZ - healthy, would Vegas line favor USC against all teams in NCAA? Good chance. Even the 13.5 points USC was favored over ILL was largest line of ANY bowl game when I checked prior to the bowls.
You take the loss to Stanford out of the mix and I think USC is in championship game against Ohio State. Take it out and they are probably ranked #1 or #2 in the computers.
At this site, take Stanford game away, USC moves to #2. Add victory over ILL, #1. Add an LSU win over Ohio St, LSU #1, USC #2.
Add / Remove Games
STANFORD [24] at USC [23]: What are the odds? Booty threw 4 INT's, one returned for a TD, but only threw 9 INT's the whole season. USC kicker David Buehler made 45-46 XP's during season but his XP was blocked after 1st USC TD against Stanford. 4th and goal from the 10, less than a minute to go and Stanford completes miracle pass and wins because of only missed XP all year. If you didn't know better you'd think it was fixed, but we are talking 'kids'. You never know what momentum or emotions can do in a game.
Won't get much of an argument for me about USC. Looked great against ILL. You might from some from OKL fans [or LSU if they win - but they'd better win big like USC did, since Illinois beat Ohio State]

Great game by USC. That's what they looked like early in the season. Illinois looked like a team with their first winning season in a few years, that's for sure. And they wouldn't be there except for some crooked refs in their game against Ohio State, IMO.
Gotta give props to Michigan, however. They matched Florida pass for pass. Despite several opportunities to fold, they kept coming back. I'm not a Michigan fan by any means, but it seems to me that "THAT'S how you dismantle an SEC team."

I turned the game off after the McKnight lateral/fumble 60+ yard gain. All the momentum was taken right out of the Illini's sails with that fumble when they were about to close the gap to 4. All in all, the game was a total trainwreck for the Fighting Zookers. Not to take anything away from USC, but they were CLEARLY a superior team and showed their will a la the Patriots in that game.
Only bright note for the Illini was that Mendenhall cemeted his status as a day 1 pick in the upcoming draft.
If it wasnt for a technicality, Missouri should've had that spot instead. Still, its beyond me why they didnt send Georgia to the Rose Bowl and Illinois to the Sugar Bowl. Both matchups would've been way better.
Speaking of Mizzou, how about that Temple kid? I couldnt believe how awful the Arkansas D looked. I didnt expect much from McFadden b/c hes pretty much protecting his draft stock.
As for the Big Ten, I was happy to see Lloyd Carr go out a winner. (Note - It pains me to say that as I am a Notre Dame fan) I didnt think Michigan stood a chance vs Florida given their struggles w/the spread offense and speed. Carr handled himself with class, even through the whole BCS debacle last year (unlike Meyer), and was one of the faces that stood out to me since I started following college football.

As a Washington Husky fan, I would like to apologize to the nation for not finishing off Hawaii. Had we done so, Missouri would have made the BCS, a much better match up against Georgia.
I think it is only fitting that after a long season of unbelievable upsets and exciting finishes that the bowl season was pretty much a yawner. Perhaps Rutgers v. Ball State can save us!

I'm still pissed KU got into the BCS over MU. Losing to probably the #3(possibly higher) in the nation twice while letting two other teams they beat into the BCS is complete crap.
The BCS has really been exploited this year. I'm not sure it should be scrapped but it definitely needs some retooling.

SZ - Missouri would have been left out of the BCS no matter how you cut it. Only two teams from one conference are allowed and the BCS chose Kansas as its at-large representative from the Big 12. Its a shame b/c Missouri was way better than Hawaii or the fighting zookers!
If your Huskies took care of business, the other spot would've gone to...Arizona State (ICK!) or Boston College (ICK!). BC played a tougher schedule and would likely deserve it more, but they faltered down the stretch. Arizona State really never impressed me all season. Erickson has em headed in the right direction though.

Nice game by LSU. Their emotion carried them through OSU's early scores, and they kept it up. OSU didn't give up (unlike last year) but LSU had their game on--they certainly wouldn't be denied.
Of course, given the way this season went, the # 1 had to fall to the #2 in the title game!

I think LSU is probably a little better team than Ohio St., but how much stock do you put in a game when OSU's most recent game was on Nov. 17. In football terms, that seems like an eternity.

That was Michigan's last game, too, and they kept it up during their match.
I think LSU just took the game. I don't think OSU lost it so much as LSU stepped up and kept up.
The one thing that I noticed throughout the entire game is how well their secondary coverage was.

First - LSU is probably not that much better than Ohio State.
Example - take L.S.U., exact same roster, but give them a schedule with only three teams in the top 45 [Ohio State] and let them play a team that has faced adversity in a really tough schedule week in and week out. Or put LSU against Ohio State as their first game of year after Ohio State played ILL and MICH. Ohio State probably wins.
Ohio State gave up 17 or less points in 11 out of 12 games, 7 or less points in 7 games. Was that because Ohio State was that good, or the opposition was weak? LSU faced teams equal to Ohio State, Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin all year.
By the College Football Ranking Comparison LSU played 9 teams in the top 45.
I think it may have been a combination of not having to face 'real' competition week in and week out and the shock when you do and the 51 day layoff [but LSU had a 37 day layoff - so not sure what difference 37 and 51 days make - LSU sure looked like the rusty team at the start of the game].
Also, Ohio State could not have been caught off guard by the SEC this year [after FLA]. Tressell made a motivational DVD with 'a series of anti-Buckeyes rip jobs beginning with the aftermath of last January's 41-14 loss to Florida in the national title game'. Didn't work long enough though. Great game, was worried at 10-0.

Is anyone following the Terrelle Pryor signing? He is supposed to make his decision tomorrow (2/6), and it is expected to be between Ohio State and Michigan. I saw him play live in Pittsburgh, and this kid appears to be as real a deal as you can get. Many scouting sites say that whoever gets him is basically guaranteed a national title shot in the next few seasons and that he probably won't even need to redshirt next season. He's compared to Vince Young primarily, but they say he is currently as built/good as Vince Young was when he was a junior at Texas.
I know, I know, he is still a kid, and for every blue chip, a dud can be named for each star. But this kid looks really good.
Hopefully the Bucks get him. We need to beat the SEC.

ls - I've been following the whole Pryor thing. Personally, I hope he spurns UM just for the simple fact Rich Rod spurned WVU.
Its good to see per rivals.com Notre Dame get the best "Quality" of class at 3.95 stars. Hopefully it translates into W's this year.
I think national signing day is getting to be ridiculous. Sure its great moment for the kid and his family, but nobody knows what this kid is going to develop into. Top-notch LB's like AJ Hawk or James Laurinitis were only a 3 star recruits. Or even 3 star recruit Mario Williams. You never know how a kid is going to develop physically, or how much hes going to grow post-high school. I mean watch David Pozluszny (Paul's (Buffalo Bills) little brother) end up being Notre Dame's best recruit...and hes only a 3 star LB.
I mean look at West Virginia...outside of Noel Devine, they've never got a 5 star recruit and have been a perennial contender. They manage to outplay the likes of Oklahoma and Georgia in BCS Bowls with 2 & 3 star recruits.
Ok done venting.

I agree, Slizz, but the hyping up of Pryor has been unbelievable. Espn has him ranked as the 4th best overall recruit this year, but I couldn't tell you who are 1-3, let alone where they are going to school. That shows how much publicity he is getting right now. For what it's worth, though, it's better to get a 5 star recruit that ends up a dud than to not get him at all, IMO.
I read something that said it is probably smart for Pryor to go to OSU next year, as he can assume a Tebow type role with Boeckman playing the Leak role. And then his sophomore season, he could be this past year's Tebow. Now Tebow certainly set some high standards the past ywo years, but to even have that as a comparison must be a good thing, right? At Michigan, he is probably going to be thrown directly into the fire...which may be what he wants.

What ESPN is esentially doing is creating the impression that if you are a pretty decent recruit, you should hold your own press conferences and what-not. To each his own, but you have to put yourself in the kids shoes too. This is their day and if ESPN is gonna feed Pryors ego, he's just going to run with it. Just hope he dont pull a Boobie Miles in basketball.
You know whats funny, a buddy of mine (UM Alum) were discussing that the other day. I contended that he should goto OSU, a team with national championship aspiriations each year, and continuity since Tressel took over. He can get a feel for the offense and eventually take over the reigns a la Tebow w/Leak and VY with Simms.
You dont know what you are going to get out of Rich Rodriguez coaching in a superior division (I cant believe a SEC Homer like myself is saying that...but if Rutgers and South Florida are mentioned for a BCS bowl, your division has problems) versus the Big East. Will they be a .500 club for the next two years before his system is finally installed with the proper players?
Also, what QB's have gone on to be successful pros, exclusively, under Rich Rod? Woody Dantzler? Rasheed Marshall? *laughs*. I mean to QB his system you need a 4.4 40 and the ability to make 3 reads: initial zone-read w/the RB, wr1, wr2, than the ability to scramble around.
Personally, the kid would be better served going to Ohio State b/c at least Tressel has placed 2 QB's in the NFL, and each played for a National Championship with one winning the Heisman. Albeit they havent made the greatest pro prospects, they still made NFL rosters as QB's. The same can't be said about Rich Rod.

I'm sure my man Peter N. will like to read this!
RED RAIDERS THE BEST TEAM IN TEXAS?
Dave Campbell's Texas Football is an annual publication that has been described as the bible of football in Texas. The 2008 edition was just released, and it serves as a reminder of how much things are changing in the state.
The cover features Texas Tech coach Mike Leach, wide receiver Michael Crabtree and quarterback Graham Harrell, with a headline reading, "Best in Texas."
Whether the Red Raiders will be better than Texas and Texas A&M this year remains to be seen, but the mere fact that it's seen as a strong possibility is a testament to what Leach has accomplished.

Slizz, Yes I definitely enjoyed reading that. This will, without a doubt, be the most-hyped Texas Tech team in the program's history. The buzz started pretty much right after the Gator Bowl win against Virginia.
I had an opportunity to watch the Spring game before graduating. Overall, Leach wasn't happy with the team's performance but I came away from the game thinking that we finally have defense good enough to contend for the Big 12 Title. We have always had an offense, but now we have a defense that cannot be taken lightly.
Since Ruffin McNeil took over as the defensive coordinator, it has been fun to watch our defense. I feel like Setencich, former D-coordinator, complicated things. Under McNeil, we have guys flying to the ball and not over-thinking.
I could go on and on, but I'll stop there. :-) Haha needless to say, I'm looking forward to this fall. The key will be how this team responds to the hype. The talent is there. This is uncharted territory though for Tech. I plan on going back for the UT game along with a few other home games.
The air raid attack of Harrell to Crabtree will be in full force! Wreck Em Tech!

Bold Prediction? Georgia will be out of the #1 slot by the time the polls release after their fourth game.
I like the 'Dawgs' team, but with South Carolina, Arizona State, Tennessee, LSU, and Auburn on the road, they're going to have a heck of a time keeping that ranking.
In fact, with that schedule, if they make it through the season with 1 or fewer losses, they're hands down the #1 team in the nation regardless of what anybody else does.

My Dawgs future is definitely in their hands.. I doubt looking at their schedule you can say anybody will have a tougher schedule then the Dawgs this year.
Starting in Week 3 they have no weak teams other then Vanderbilt? Who actually had a chance to beat the Dawgs last year, that is just the SEC.. Any given day..
Other then the first two teams and Vandy, I think every team they play this year was in the top 20 last year.

ESPN TO PAY $150 MILLION A YEAR FOR SEC RIGHTS
Posted by Michael David Smith on August 25, 2008, 9:30 a.m.
ESPN and the SEC have agreed to a 15-year, $2.25 billion deal that will give ESPN the TV rights to all SEC games that aren’t taken by CBS. The deal averages out to $150 million a year for the conference, or $12.5 million a year for each conference school.
The deal, which will be formally announced today and was first reported by Sports Business Journal, means the SEC will be raking in more than $200 million a year from its media partners.
Although the SEC still gets first crack at the marquee Saturday afternoon and evening football games, ESPN will get all kinds of programming for all of its networks and its expanding Internet video service, ESPN 360. ESPN is also working hard to get more distribution for its college-themed network, ESPNU, and having a deal in place with the SEC can only help there.
I always feel a little queasy when I read about multi-billion dollar deals involving allegedly amateur athletics, but there’s not much doubt that this deal is good business for both the SEC and the Worldwide Leader.
Now this is awesome. No more crap games for ESPN on Saturday where we are subjected to the likes of Northwestern / Iowa or Wisconsin / Northen Illinois.

Although a big Dawgs fan, my heart is still a Mizzou Tigers fan...
Don't be surprised if you see these guys up there again. This year their schedule is very easy and could go undefeated going into the Big 12 Championship game.. Which I imagine will be Oklahoma again.

Don't count out Texas Tech in the Big 12 South. I see the November 22nd matchup against OU being for the right to go to the Big 12 Championship.

Yah, Texas Tech high scoring machine also... problem with the whole Big 12 is they are all offense and no defense.
Which means I doubt will see them in the BCS Championship.

I can say, I did not walk away to confident in my #1 Dawgs yesterday.. Mainly defense.
Knowshown though, stud as usual... But a big scare after his third touchdown as he got up limping.
Stafford and WRs looked amazingly good..
Defense... lots and lots of errors, mental mistakes and lost one of our key lineman.

I gotta say Stafford has a great deep ball. The way he threaded the seam on the Dawgs first drive was amazing.
As for ECU over VT. That hardly surprised me as everyone on here knows I think the Hokies are one of the most overrated teams in college football.
USC, much to my chagrin, looks like the best team in the land. Georgia allowed a weak Georgia Southern squad with 8 of their staters suspended to drop 20+ points!!! USC dominated a crappy ACC opponent and looked unstoppable.
They'll beat Ohio State, with our without Beanie Wells, by at least 3 Touchdowns. I expect them to go wire to wire in the national championship vs. a SEC team hopefully!
