    A compliment from today's CFN article on which teams had the best chance of stopping USC.

    "I'd take my chances with Miami's back seven against USC's athleticism. Florida State and LSU also would match up well with enough speed to not be freaked out by all the Trojan NFL talent. The better question is who could get to Matt Leinart. He's so smart and so good with his reads that he can quickly get rid of the ball, but he had his worst performances against teams that could get into the backfield (outside of the Oklahoma dismantling)."
    They also suggested THEosu... only if Ginn was on defense.

    rather a left sided compliment.. basically saying LSU is good enough to not lose their composure against USC, but that they are not as good.

    We're all paying for USC's blowout against Oklahoma. The fact is they had four close games last year they could have easily lost, which the media has elected to "forget".
    I think they're deserving of a #1 ranking, but with Chow gone, some off-field incidences, and a few guys entering the supplemental draft, they are hardly a team with no question marks.

    Agreed. Louisiana Tech finished the year with a higher RPI rating than 7 of the Pac-10 teams.

    Getting drafted does not equate to NFL success.

    Good one, except it sorta makes tech look good. We can't be having any of that up here.

    Tennessee at Florida: Early Line: Florida -1 ...
    Is this an elimination game for the national title? These two should be ranked in the top five, at least in the top ten, with the winner getting a big boost in the hunt for the Rose Bowl.


    Moo ha ha ha ha. . .

    The Florida love-fest continues.

    God I can't wait for them to fall flat on their faces from this ridiculous obsession.
