    • It has Miami, maybe VaTech, and... ?


      You didn't see that FSU blew out BYU in Utah?

      I'd like to amend my above statement of the ACC. Florida State is clearly better than either GaTech or UNC, might be better than VaTech.


      That's better...

        No, I did. I just plum forgot they were in the ACC. Scroll down a bit more.

        • Sources: Tebow flew separately


          Florida quarterback Tim Tebow and two teammates traveled apart from the rest of the Gators to Kentucky on Friday as they fight a respiratory illness, sources told ESPN.com's Chris Low.

          However, the sources said the illness is not being called the flu and that Florida officials remain optimistic Tebow, cornerback Joe Haden and safety Major Wright will play Saturday night. Tebow, Haden and Wright were at the team hotel Saturday morning and were not experiencing any fever, according to sources.

          A source close to Tebow tells ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach that Tebow was "pretty weak" Friday morning, but is feeling better.

          Multiple media outlets reported that several Florida players, including Tebow, were sick with the flu and took a separate plane Friday. The Independent Florida Alligator, the student newspaper at the University of Florida, first reported the story.

          Saturday night's game (ESPN2, ESPN360.com, 6 p.m. ET) is No. 1 Florida's first SEC road game of the season.

          A source close to the situation told ESPN's Joe Schad the three players arrived in Lexington on Friday evening, at about the same time as the team plane. The source called the illness a "respiratory condition involving congestion."

          Wright and Haden missed practice Thursday, while Tebow did not feel sick until Thursday night, according to the source.

          Coach Urban Meyer said Thursday that the team has battled more than 35 cases of the flu over the past four weeks, but did not name Tebow among those who had become ill. Meyer said running back Jeff Demps, tight end Aaron Hernandez and defensive end Jermaine Cunningham played with the flu last week against Tennessee, while linebacker A.J. Jones and Haden were among players fighting the virus this week.

          According to The Associated Press, a person familiar with Florida's travel plans said everyone on the team's expected travel roster made the trip, including receivers coach Billy Gonzales. He was sent home early in the week, but he returned and wore gloves and a mask at practice.

          Meyer said earlier in the week there was no chance he would rest sick players.

          "That'd be one of the major errors in coaching history to go do that, because you'd go lose," he said. "No. Absolutely not. We're going to bring everything and go as hard as we can. That gets you out of the profession, those kind of thoughts. You go as hard as you can.

          "The good thing is I've got a mature group. Not a whole lot of cheerleading going on this week. Got to get better and go play."

          The Gators beat Tennessee 23-13 last Saturday, a disappointing victory for the heavily favored Gators. Meyer partially blamed the conservative game plan on the illnesses. Volunteers coach Lane Kiffin indicated that Meyer was using the illnesses as an excuse to justify a less-than-desirable performance.

          The Gainesville Sun reported this week that 97 percent of flu cases on UF's campus this fall have been the H1N1 virus, also known as swine flu.
          This is a ploy. Everyone knows that swine flu is a fabricated news item.

          • Incredibly interesting developments in the early afternoon games...

            South Florida is up 14-0 over Florida State at the half
            Indiana is up 23-21 over Michigan at the half
            And LSU is up just 16-14 on Mississippi State

            Should be interesting to see what happens in the 2nd halves of these games!

            • God, Michigan sucks. I can't believe ND lost to them.
              I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

                  • Looks like the fix is in. The refs are jobbing Indiana now.

                    2nd time in 3 weeks that the refs have saved Michigan by blatant errors.

                    • Oh come the **** on.

                      The Notre Dame guy was out of bounds. See the picture LA posted a few pages ago.


                      Yes, that was a simultaneous possession. The call often goes that way, though, like a fumble; whomever ends up with the ball gets it. Even if Indiana had gotten the ball, they were still down 3 with two minutes left and an entire field to cover.
