Apparently some writers don’t take ther AP Poll ballot as seriously as fans would like them to. (Thanks to TheBigLead for the heads up.)
First, Parrish Alford, of the NE Mississippi Daily Journal, still thinks Louisville is #13 while Kentucky is #24. (And here I could’ve sworn that I saw Kentucky score at will against the [...]
Posted in Alabama, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Louisville, The Other USC, UCLA, USC | 1 Comment »Okay, so you got no live updates this week; I apologize. I was taking online defensive driving to get out of a ticket, so I saw very little of the daytime action and then the family came home and it was daddy/daughter time until SC started.
First, maybe I was wrong about SC. For the first [...]

With Week 1 going through Monday and Louisville taking more $$$ from ESPN to play on Thursday (against the NFL), we don’t have a lot of time to take in all of last weekend before they are ready to go again.
It looks like ranked teams will be taking on better competition this week and some [...]

SI predicts the conference champions (my thoughts in brackets):
ACC: Virgina Tech over BC in the money-grab title game.
[Agreed.]
Big 12: Texas over Nebraska in the money-grab title game.
[I'm thinking OU instead.]

ESPN kicked off the season with Rece, Mark, and Lou talking about the big games from Sept 1st and Sept 8th: Tennessee at Cal and Virginia Tech at LSU. May went with Tennessee and Holtz went with Cal; Rece broke the tie, giving Cal the win and moving them into the Top 10. For the [...]
Posted in Cal, LSU, Louisville, Tennessee, Va Tech | 1 Comment »Okay, this is getting ridiculous. All 12 “experts” from ESPN pick USC to win the national title. Three experts like the Trojans over Texas, three more take SC over LSU, two pick USC over Michigan (nice rematch), two more like SC over West Virginia, and the unique picks are SC over OU and SC over Virginia [...]
Posted in LSU, Louisville, Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas, USC, Va Tech, West Virginia, Wisconsin | 1 Comment »Last year ESPN had its first mock season with a PLAYOFF, played out on the 6pm Sportscenter each night going week by week through the season. This year’s version (ESPNU Championship Series) kicked off last night, with Rece Davis, Mark May and Lou Holtz (who said, and we were shocked by this, that Notre Dame was going [...]
