    To be honest with you I think Nebraska and MSU are both better teams than Mich. I don't understand Mich ranking as based on their recruiting results and on the field performance over the last couple of years...I think they're over hyped because...well...they're Michigan. Be that as it may they are all three capable of beating OSU. Having said that, OSU is obviously the ugly 600# gorilla of the Big 10.

    I will give props to the MSU QB, whom I like to call O'Connor Cook. He may develop into a better one than Connor Cook was. In college football, though, having a great head coach can get a team much farther than in the NFL. Harbaugh and Meyer shouldn't be seeing too many upsets, even from a talented coach like Dantonio.

    Actually I see it the other way around. The fan base in the State of Michigan has switched in favor of MSU. MSU is also spending the kind of money on their football program that Michigan has in the past and money is a great predictor of long term success.

    It used to be that in Michigan that if two Buckeyes yelled "O-H!" "I-O!" The response was "Go Blue!". Now it's "Go Green, Go White!".

    That's true. The worst stretch of football in Notre Dame history was from 1956-1963, when they not only had poor coaching by Terry Brennan and Joe Kuharich, but the school also deemphasized sports and cut back on funding.

    That happened at OSU from 1960 to 66. The university finally relented and Woody went on tear and won two national championships.

    You didn't see the Auborn/LSU game.

    Wisconsins win was no surprise to me. Not after they beat LSU.

    Something I had not thought of until someone said something last night.

    Louisville has a tough defense, but their game depends on Jackson lighting up the scoreboard.

    So why did Petrino leave him in so long against FSU? He played until there were less than 12 mins left in the game. Louisville was up 63-10 at that point.

    If Jackson gets injured in a blowout, what will the rest of teh season look like?

    No Les, no more.

    LSU has apparently fired Les Miles as head coach. No surprise. Few coaches have made as many blunders (especially in clock mgmt) as Miles and survived.

    Hard to say. My guess is added reps for the inexperienced star.

    This isn't the pros. This is college and his team was in sync, on rhythm and executing. He did the righ thing in keeping him and the starters in and letting them learn through experience how to achieve those goals.

    If the starter gets injured, as they could on any given play, then that's unfortunate but it's next man up. Petrine did the right thing.

    I think they made a big mistake. Mile has a .770 winning percentage at LSU. Who out there is better? I bet Nebraskas AD is clawing the sky. They wanted Miles but he chose to be loyal to LSU.

    I would not be surprised to se Miles land at ND.

    Miles could recruit as well as anyone. But he has made so many blunders, especially in clock mgmt, he is hard to sell as a top coach.
