And that's what you get for not playing, Alabama. Seriously what did the Crimson Tide do to the AP and coaches' polls? Did they come home and find Nick Saban having his way with their mothers? Did 'Bama pull a Larry David and not introduce the polls to an acquataince at...

The Señior is taking a stand. Despite the fact that Texas is 5-0 and has returning Heisman runner-up Colt McCoy and cheerleaders with chaps (for God's sake, they wear chaps!!!!), the Longhorns are no longer in the top three. Why? Well, have they really earned it beating the likes...

Can we come to an agreement that Notre Dame is actually a little better than we thought, cake walk of a schedule or not?The defense hasn't been lights-out like it was in blanking Nevada in the opener, allowing 29.7 points per game in the last four weeks, but it's not like defense...
