What in the world are you talking about? The Pac 10 is constantly criticized and demeaned in the media. The SEC and Big 12 are the current darlings for good reason. The state of college football, however, is better now than ever. Who would have imagined such parity. As an Oregon State Beaver, I can only say... OOOOOO SSSSSS UUUUUUU! Fight! Fight! Fight! Mason Nathan,

Last year, they were in a bad situation playing a team that the whole country was rooting for while the Sooners were considered the bully for even showing up. Don't look now, but Florida is losing late to Ole Miss. It’s exactly because they don’t show up for those mismatches that OU loses those games.

LSU should well beat Miss St. I hope they take the opportunity to run up the score a bit, so no one can say it was a close game. I want USC's defeat to be as embarrassing and to count as much as possible. LSU has to get past Ga and Fl. Those will be nail-biters. Barry Faimous,

But it's September. Poll voters tend to forget a lot of things by the time December rolls around. And nobody can tell me those voters are completely objective. Teams that start high in the polls can hit an early snag, and then gradually climb back into contention if they impress as strong in subsequent games. Good teams that start out as unranked have a much harder time of it despite their records. Darius (5), you may be right. But it’s September.

Stoops has the same problem in BCS games. Both of those coaches appeared to be invincible a few years ago, but it only proves that anything can happen in college football.
