  • Damn... quite a day in college football. Nebraska to the Big 10 (just about) and USC with a 2 year bowl ban. Holy crap!

    • And the ****storm is just starting! Texas and A&M are meeting today to decide whether to blow up the Big 12 or not.

        • With Colorado leaving, this makes the rumors of the Pac 16 look more and more true:

          With Nebraska apparently headed to the Big Ten, the Pac-10 is poised to become the Pac-16. Colorado already has received an invitation, while five other invitations will be extended to Texas, Texas A&M, OU, OK State and Texas Tech, according to a source.

          • With USC being knocked down a few pegs, the prospect of being the undisputed top dog in the Pac-16(?) has to be appealing to Texas...

            • I was thinking the same thing. With six former Big 12 teams in the new Pac-16, Texas would actually have greater voting power than it did in 1996 when it brought four SWC teams into the Big 8. How much do you want to bet that the Pac-10's current requirement for unanimous consent on conference decisions doesn't make it into the Pac-16 bylaws?

              • I don't know why. The Pac 10 doesn't get nearly as much nationwide coverage as conferences to the East. The Big 12 gets plenty of exposure.

                By the way, it's a shame that USC is being taken down a few pegs. I would have wished ND to beat USC without the Trojans being down a few men. . This isn't good at all for the rivalry. It's best when all of the national championship consequences are on the line.

                • What's amazing is that Oregon just dismissed their star QB, and Michigan just rejected their 5-star DB recruit (apparently against RR's wishes), and no one is talking about it. This **** is crazy.

                  • I hadn't even heard about that Michigan thing, and I've been reading the comments on a Big Ten expansion blog non-stop for the last two days.

                    • I didn't know the backstory wrt the Michigan DB. Shows the pitfalls of relying on recruiting rankings when not all players that are signed actually show up on campus.

                          Plus they're going to have to vacate their entire 2004 BCS championship season, meaning that there will finally be some semblance of justice for those of us (myself included) who screamed bloody murder about Auburn getting screwed that year (the NCAA won't have a choice but to award a split title to both Auburn and Oklahoma).

                          May USC continue to suffer long after this well-deserved punishment has elapsed.

                          • NCAA can only vacate the wins. They do not determine who the "champion" is.

                            • Reis: stop acting like a moron. The NCAA doesn't award college football titles.
