Rivals.com asked its college football round table to name the school that is the most prohibitive favorite in its conference. The answers were BYU, Ohio State, and yes—USC.
This shouldn’t be a news flash. USC already has won six Pac-10 championships in a row, dominating the league like it never has been dominated before. Since its [...]
Posted in BYU, Ohio State, Pac-10, USC | No Comments »Brian Walker of TheStreet.com has posted four daring college football predictions. They’re all worth a read, but this one naturally caught our eye:
Southern Cal will not win the Pac-10.
I’m picking only one USC to have a shot at their conference title this year, and if you read above you can see it’s not the powerhouse [...]
Afraid that the Trojans will look past the Cavaliers to the Buckeyes? Well, that’s pretty much impossible now, if only because two of the Cavalier players were caught stealing beer from a private club in Charlottesville.
SC fans planning on traveling for the game: follow the link for gameday poster ideas.
Carson Palmer is no fan of the Buckeyes (Who can blame him?), and apparently he let that be known on the radio last week. Seems like pretty much what you would expect from a Pac-10 player forced to spend most of the year in Big Ten country, but Adam Jacobi over at FanHouse thinks Carson’s [...]
Posted in Big Eleven, Ohio State, Pac-10, USC | 1 Comment »Austin Murphy of SI.com predicts that Ohio State will take us out:
4. I predict the Buckeyes will launch their run at a third-consecutive national-title game by taking down USC at the L.A. Coliseum on September 13 in what will be the lowest-scoring game of the season for both teams. Laurinaitis, fellow LB Marcus Freeman & [...]
The Sports Blawger has posted a list of the top ten college football coaches. Some interesting choices along the way (for example, Urban Meyer over Mack Brown), but he ends up in the right place:
1. Pete Carroll, Southern California
Yep. It’s Pete. If OSU dominates the Big-10, I don’t think they’ve invented a name for what [...]
Spencer Hall, aka Orson Swindle, has an interesting piece on the SEC/Big Ten speed myth. The article is entitled Debunking myths about speed in the SEC and Big Ten, but then there’s this:
In terms of players we see for the combine, the best-conditioned and prepared athletes by conference come in this order: the SEC, the [...]
Maybe it’s because I work on a sports show and I’m inundated with it, but our athletic department has quickly become a punchline. Just this week alone:
A judge ruled that Reggie Bush must quit stonewalling and must testify.
O.J. Mayo was reported to have taken $30K in cash and gifts.
DeMar DeRozan (second-highest rated basketballer ever to [...]
Ryan Perrilloux had a good reason for getting suspended (or at least that’s what LSU is telling us). Nevertheless, he will back on the practice field Monday.
Apparently, Coach Rod is not making friends with Coach Carr’s players in Ann Arbor. I wonder if Big Blue fans wish that Les Miles wanted to come home?
Ohio State [...]
Looks like it’s the Buckeyes. Making the game on Sept 13th even bigger, as the decision to attend The Ohio State University was based on the “Tebow Effect.” Apparently, the Sweatervest sold Terrelle on working into the system with Boeckmen as the starter and Pryor running wild. SC never does well against a running QB, [...]
