    South Florida is in the Big East. That's a legit non-conference game.

    No. But Stanford can dominate up front, even with some of Oregon's DL returning, and defensively it is excellent against the run and certainly will get more pressure on the QB than Cal did.

    And why Tedford quit running the ball defies logic.

    As far as Leach goes, maybe Wilson is stretching the truth a little bit. But what about the other 17 or 18 kids who have also left?

    Fair point. Thank goodness, then, that it's not hard to find other reasons to punish Notre Dame.

    "I told you to run it!" Well, I'd say Saban better explain why he didn't do as that young man instructed.

    And, in a similar vein:


    God love SEC fans for the unintentional comedy they provide.

    Needing 3OT and a missed chip shot field goal at home to beat a bad Pitt team?

    Southerners hate math in politics. Yankees hate math in college football.

    Late in the Alabama game, Dennis Dodd tweeted something along the lines of, "Nobody else in the country is playing football like this right now."

    Of course, it took all of 3/4 of one season for A&M to develop that vaunted "SEC speed" that the rest of the country cannot contend with.

    Yes, yes I see. It's that darn pro-Southern bias that media members and SIDs (along with computer programmers) have been famous for across the decades.

    I don't think the SEC is the be-all, end-all of college football. But it is hilarious to see how distaste and jealousy can provoke so many overreactions in otherwise-rational people.

    I think this is a shot at me. But it's poorly conceived, poorly executed and doesn't come close to scoring.

    It's an SEC offense!

    This. It's funny the way A & M is doing far better in its first year in the SEC than it was doing in the Big 12 in recent years.

    Wasn't that Big 12 team supposed to overwhelmed by all that blazing SEC speed?

    Yeah, I wonder what else is different about A&M this year ...
