I think it would be the best way to find a true champion. I must also concede to Micah...you were right in your Wisconsin prediction. Illinois is proving to be a pretty tough team. So my hat is off to you my friend. I agree…though I love bowl games, I think a playoff system would be fantastic. I think it would be the best way to find a true champion.

Like every year, Purdue's offense is dangerous but they have no defense. At 3-1, I'm actually rooting for Indiana since that is my home state. But the fairy tale will end soon.

You are a venerated authority on collegiate sports. So I have a question. Who should be ranked number one in the nation right now? Who do you think is better, LSU or USC? Okay, Micah. You are a venerated authority on collegiate sports. So I have a question.

Who should be ranked number one in the nation right now? Who do you think is better, LSU or USC?

And maybe not Purdue. They're easily the second best team in the Big 11. Wisco won’t beat Michigan either. And maybe not Purdue. They’re easily the second best team in the Big 11.

Wisconsin has a much more balanced team. So I stand firm on the Badgers (though the Buckeyes look good too).

Somebody will trip them. And USC will probably lose to a 7-4 PAC-10 team. I bet that the national title will once again to one-loss team. It might be good for OU that they lost so early in the season. People will forget about it by the bowl season. I really can’t see LSU making through the SEC undefeated. Somebody will trip them.

The SEC is THE conference to beat. And Kyle, if you are reading this, know that I chuckled a bit when Florida lost over the weekend. Sorry bro. They had a good run. Again, GEAUX LSU. Let's just shut everyone up by having USC play LSU. That would be a game to watch. Barry Speaking of disappointments, is there anyone in college football more disappointed than Brian Brohm (U of L)? He gave up an estimated 15 million dollar gig to return and play for a championship. That ain't gonna happen now, and neither is that 15 million. He'll get drafted, but with the sorry defense of U of L this year, he will continue to get beat, and lose value. Here! Here! for jigawatt. The SEC is THE conference to beat.
