Here's an odd idea, does the integration of the former Pac-12 schools into the Big 12, Big 10 and ACC mark the end of East Coast Bias?

Pretty wild that a rematch of last season's national championship game is barely a blip on the radar of a weak slate.

She's baaaaack

Just letting this sink in for a while ... No. 23 Indiana

 

[BitterYoungMatador2]

North Carolina is unwashed booty and Pitt is 4-0 so you know what that means.

UNC by 17.

Haha, I don't think Cignetti would humor Doyel for very long.

How many losses would it take for Mike Norvell to get fired? Or are his previous successes enough to guarantee him a job next year? Because after the SMU game 1-11 now seems to be a real possibility.

Gregg Doyel forking up covering one of the biggest sports stories of the year because he couldn't help himself being a weirdo will never not be hilarious to me.

I know some Auburn folks who believe the Tigers may not win another one, including against ULM and Vanderbilt. I think they'll win those two, or split, but it's similar to FSU. Both are at the cusp, I think, of fans and donors saying "Nope" and recruits saying, "WTF wouuld I go there, they suck."

Rev. Hugh and Sgt. Mike may be hanging with Coach O and Jimbo if things don't change.

Why isn't offside a reviewable play? Every play has a LOS view. Should be easy to determine if someone was offside.

I think maybe the Minnesota guy's helmet was partially over the 35-yard line on the onside kick, he was leaning forward, but his feet clearly were not. And I'm not sure what the offside rule is on a kickoff; is there a "neutral" zone, like a play from scrimmage, or is offside on kickoffs determined by the players feet, not his body parts?

Either way, if you're going to make a call like that, you have to be absolutely, positively sure there was a rule infraction, and from the replay there is no way that was possible.
