College Football 2013 Season

Yeah, Manziel is a dick, and is getting something of a pass for it for some reason - combination of race and ability, probably. He'll get drafted highly and then either mature or get arrested for smuggling drugs over the border.

More like family money to hire high powered lawyers to fight back.

I think the biggest story in the Pac-12 is Washington stomping all over Boise State, 38-6. Worst loss of Chris Peterson's tenure, and the first time in decades that BSU hasn't scored a touchdown in a game. Ouch.

Next biggest would be Oregon State losing their home opener to FCS team Eastern Washington. Way to go, Beavs.

USC's offense was awful against Hawaii. Their defense was really good, but still they did not look like a conference-winning team at all.

UCLA looks very good, while Utah and Colorado won their games and look much improved over last year. While they lost to Auburn, Washington State also looked better than they have in the past. They could have won that one.

Stanford and ASU have yet to play, but both figure to be strong in the conference.

Oregon rolled 66-3 over a really bad team, so they haven't had a true test yet. Still, they broke their single game yardage record and had 3 rushers w/ more than 100 yards each (including QB Mariota). So they look like they haven't missed a beat with the coach change. With Washington and UCLA both apparently resurgent, their schedule is going to get much tougher. Even the game at Arizona now is of concern, as the Wildcats also looked pretty good in their opener.

My top 10 as of now:

1. Alabama (The champs stay #1 until they lose, in my book)
2. Clemson (Only team so far to beat a top 5 opponent, so they go here until they Clemson)
3. Oregon
4. Stanford
5. Ohio State
6. South Carolina
7. Texas A&M
8. LSU
9. Florida State
10. Oklahoma

Probably true... but it also helps that like 99% of fans think the rule is really freaking stupid.

In light of all the stupid penalties they've meted out for meaningless but technical rules violations, I'm stunned that the NCAA is letting this slide. The evidence of unfair benefits is pretty overwhelming, and the explanations offered totally lame.

Manziel should be out on his privileged ass. Now.

IMHO.

[MRT144]

SEC doesnt have to play by NCAA rules apparently.

[-Jrabbit]

Seriously, this case is a tacit, up front admission by the NCAA that their standards are indeed the slave of commerce.

If you're going there, pay the damned athletes.

[H Tower]

If you're going there, pay the damned athletes out in the open.

Fixed that for you

thx

[Tuberski]

God doesn't like BYU apparently, second week in a row their game is delayed by lightning.

ACK!

[Boris Godunov]

#12 Florida goes down to unranked Miami.

#6 South Carolina goes down to #11 Georgia.

Looking forward to the Michigan/Notre Dame game. I picked the Wolverines to win, but who the hell knows?

Oh, and Oregon curbstomps Virginia 59-10. Good Saturday so far.

Guy, why would you want to Clemson Clemson? I mean, ewww.
