Well, the Huskers should be able to handle Southern Miss.......

Sloppy, Sloppy, Sloppy offense.

Brock and Chris don't look much better than what they've showed in the past. Herbstreit was on crack to think Rix could get the Heisman.

Could this game play out like OSU v Iowa last year? No offensive touchdown scored in that game.

BUCKEYES won of course. (I was at that one too.)

I just followed hte last minutes of that one on the internet. Sounds like it was an amazing finish.

What's this about Miami being in the ACC?

College football playoffs, Yay or Nay?

Nay for me. These are kids in college and academics should be put first. They are not professionals getting paid.

Yay...what does a playoff system have to do with acedemics? For that matter when has acedemics had anything to do with college football?

Ya, in theory these kids should be there for an education, but no one is fooled. College football is the minor league for the NFL practically. It needs radically changed so acedemics does mean something, but until that happens give me playoffs.

They and Virginia Tech jumped ship to the ACC. Boston College is following suite next year.

I'd agree with that to a point, but the differences between CF and a 'minor league' are significant:

-College football is much much bigger than any realistic minor league system would be, and that's even if you only include the major conferences. Consider that not only are there more teams, but CF teams are much bigger.

-The NFL doesn't pay for it.

-Restrictions on practice make college sports hardly an ideal place to train future pro-atheletes. It's fine for American football, but in sports where we're up against international competition (soccer for instance) the collegiete system places a lot of limitations on developing atheletes.

The second point is why the NFL likes and supports it so much. And its not a minor league, it is just like one in many ways....and different in others.
