Here are my ’surprise’ teams for 2009 (in no particular order): Illinois–Juice Williams throwing to Arrelious Benn, Jeff Cumberland and Jarred Fayson means that Illinois should have the most explosive offense in the Big Ten this year and one of the best passing attacks in college football. If Juice cuts his interceptions in half, I think this team wins at least 9. Clemson–Always...

You might have heard (even though we didn't bother reporting it) earlier this week that Clemson tailback C.J. Spiller, high off a big ACC win vs. Georgia Tech, talked to ESPN's Mark Schlabach and compared himself and backfield teammate James Davis to the backfield tandem of Reggie Bush and LenDale White, also known as Thunder & Lightning:
"That's where I see us right now," Spiller said. "We've got the same combination."
Fresh off their victory over Georgia Tech and Spiller's bold annointment of his backfield as the new kings of college football, how do you think the dynamic duo did Thursday night against Virginia Tech?
A combined 71 yards on 22 tries, in a 24-7 loss to Virginia Tech, the second for the Tigers on the season -- matching White & Bush's career loss total.
Spiller's got game (USC nearly landed him as a recruit -- and you know we don't pursue anything but Grade A Prime at this point) -- but he needs to learn to leave the premature comparisons up to moronic announcers and sportsblogging geeks.

The Trojans have landed 11 of the top 100 recruits in the nation. Texas has got 9. Florida has got 8. But there are 27 top 100 recruits still undecided, and USC is on the list of almost all of them, especially the big dogs.
Here's a run-down of potential players to welcome to the Trojan family:
5-star offensive lineman Andre Smith -
Supposively gave word to hometown favorite Alabama months ago, but he could be a signing day surprise. COMMITTED TO ALABAMA.
5-star defensive tackle Gerald McCoy -
This Oklahoma native would be a huge steal from Stoops. COMMITTED TO OKLAHOMA.
5-star running back C.J. Spiller -
A country boy from Florida. Can he and his family make the adjustment to big city living? Pete Carroll certainly made an impression on his mom. He could become the 2nd C.J. of the Trojans' 2006 recruiting class. COMMITTED TO CLEMSON.
5-star running back Stafon Johnson -
Straight out of Dorsey. This kid should be a lock to stay in LA. COMMITTED TO USC.
5-star offensive lineman Stephen Schilling -
USC has a better chance at this guy then Andre Smith. Although the Trojans would like both after losing underclassmen Winston Justice and Fred Matua.
4-star running back Michael Goodson -
This kid has Reggie Bush-like moves as evidenced in the Army All-American game.
4-star running back LeSean McCoy -
Likely to remain home and attend Penn State, but he's still on the Trojans' radar since the Trojans' backfield will be playing on Sundays next season.COMMITTED TO MIAMI.
4-star linebacker Michael Morgan -
There's nothing like stealing top talent out of Texas. See Emmanuel Moody. COMMITTED TO USC.
4-star defensive back Devin Ross -
Supposively the Trojans were out of the running, but are now back on the block.
