College Football: well, thank God we won't have a fucking Big 10 team in the BCS. Penn State was just another bog 'em slog 'em slow Big Ten team that any Big 12 or SEC two loss team would have crushed, that they lost to powerful and feared Iowa should be regarded as Divine Intervention.

USC, continues to stink up the stadium each and every week with a punchless supposedly talented team that just barely lucked out against CAL. I think QB Sanchez is overrated, can't pass accurately past 20 yards; much feared RB McKnight fumbles at every opportunity and the rest of the running back committee is just ordinary.

Texas Tech, could they really beat Oklahoma? How? But they might and that makes the Tech-Sooner headon collision a delicious contemplation.

The SEC: they just aren't all that good. The usual East Coast bias slobbers all over themselves over a conference without a single quality quarterback aside from Tebow at Florida. Big 12 has at least six really good gun slingers throwing to high speed bottle rockets who are hard to tackle.

Trends: looks like the run and shoot and shoot and shoot offenses launched from the spread formation are here to stay. Texas Tech is fun to watch but looking at the other similarly designed offenses like Alabama, Florida, and Boise State teams that are destroying everyone makes it obvious that this offense exposes the no tackling thugs who are just looking for a "knockout" hit. Most teams staff their defensive secondaries with hitters who cannot tackle. Every week we see ball carriers pick up an extra five or so yards after being "hit." It's rare to see a good form tackle that actually knocks somebody down in their tracks. There's a reason that the NFL pays defensive backs big big bucks.
