USC could make a strong claim to be "America's Team."The Trojans have become the antithesis of a provincial program, as the roster and, most notably, the starting lineup are loaded with players from around the country.Nine of the Trojans' 22 starting roles are filled by players from out of state, continuing a recent trend of USC putting non-Californians in...

The Big East has received its share of criticism over the years for not being a Bowl Championship Series-caliber conference, but supporters of the league have been laughing all the way to the bank since 2000. Big East teams covered the pointspread an average of 56.3% from 2000-2008, according to a study by Ed Gunther of The National Championship...

LSU (+9) over Florida
Gameday heads all think the Alabama-Mississippi game will be really close. It's enough to scare us out of putting this early game in the parlay.
Colorado sucks. Toledo hung 54 on them this year.
We avoided the Wolverine trap that everyone fell into last week picking them over Michigan State. This week we think Michigan keeps it close enough against an undefeated Iowa team that hasn't played anyone (unless you count Penn State).
LSU plus 9 points. This is Florida's toughest and only opponent they play all season. They probably pull out a gutty win in corndog country.

Here are some random thoughts on the win: - It was a win, but a frustrating one. The 1st quarter started smoothly with a quick 3-and-out from Wazzu followed by a quick TD from SC, but then 3 holding penalties, 1 offsides, 1 personal foul, and 1 roughing the kicker happened. Let's not even talk about the 3rd quarter......

The Doc Saturday crew peruses the weekly lines and pulls out a few shockers. Chris Brown: Central Michigan (+13.5) over Arizona. I like Arizona, I really do.

Posted by ESPN.com's Ted Miller Time to pick the games again. Record last year, including bowl games: 63-18. But last year is last year, and the picks, just like Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh, don't have a rear-view mirror. But 63-18... come on! Can I at least get a one-handed clap for that? Tonight Oregon 33, Boise State 28: The...

No, it's not opposite day. You haven't entered some weird twilight zone. LenDale White, that lovable, huggable rapscallion has far less to hold onto these days. Over 30 pounds less. White's weight has been a point of contention since he entered the NFL in 2006. Now, coming into his last contract season with the Titans and Chris Johnson and Michigan State's Javon Ringer on his heels, White hopes to turn weight loss into yardage and touchdowns into dollar signs with a fatty renewed contract in 2010.
But some, including former player and current Titans running back coach Earnest Byner, wonder if White's withering waistband will take some of the "smash" out of his step. Byner made the comments to Gregg Rosenthal of NBC's Pro Football Talk.
"I lost too much weight and people were able to topple me and knock me over a little too easy. I think those are things [White] needs to be aware of and make sure his strength is still good."
Either way, the plump never seemed to slow down White's productivity. Last year Lendale ranked 3rd in the NFL in touchdowns with 15, and second in the league for longest rushing touchdown with an 80 yarder against the Chiefs.
