Matt Cassel (QB, New England) was the most watched Trojan in week two. Nothing spectacular, no mistakes, it was a simply a solid performance that got the job done. He completed 16-of-23 for 165 yards and picked up 7 yards on 2 carries. As he pointed out in a post-game interview, all that matters are W's. He earned one...

Reggie Bush (RB, New Orleans) is up to his old tricks, taking 8 receptions for 112 yards and a touchdown in addition to 51 yards on 14 carries. His score was the game winner (24-20 over Tampa Bay), and his longest playes were 26 yards on the ground and 42 in the air. Fellow running back Deuce McAllister did...

Posted by ESPN.com's Ted Miller Just the facts. The Pac-10 is now 10-6 versus the SEC and is 6-2 in games played on the West Coast since the BCS Era began in 1998. An SEC fan who will not tip his cap to that is simply a big dummy. That's not an insult. It's not an opinion. Those are...

Okay...here goes. I'm going to divulge something I wouldn't ordinarily EVER admit: I was watching last night's UCLA-Tennessee game and I was rooting for...the Bruins. I know. There's a little vomit in my mouth too. But if there's one thing I loathe equally as much as those powder blue uniforms, it's those enormous heads and cocky trash talking coming from the SUC...err...i mean SEC.
So here we go again. The 2007 SEC conference title contender comes over to our side of the country and blows the opener for the second year in a row against a mediocre Pac-10 team. Forgetting UCLA had a third string quarterback who threw four interceptions, what's the excuse now, SEC? Alright...some SEC fans are sitting at their computers with blood-shot eyes, outraged, thinking 'well we have three BCS championships right now, while you only have one.' And LSU fans seem to have selective amnesia forgetting that it was a SPLIT NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.
But even National Champion/BCS controversy aside, the PAC-10 has been beating the SEC consistently in head-to-head matches since the turn of the millennium. And I don't care how you try to spin the numbers, the SEC has been on the losing end of the head-to-head conference battles since 2000.

PAC 10 FOOTBALL CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP. The mike’s all yours, gorgeous. Somehow stunning and craptacular at the same time. The only possible explanation for UCLA coming back–excluding Tennessee’s sphincter-seizure and the grand folly that was the Clawfense–is this: Norm Chow mind bolts and the extremely low resting heart rate of Kevin Craft. Nothing else explains throwing four picks in...

Posted by ESPN.com's Ted Miller For entertainment purposes only. And if I'm wrong, I'm guessing you'll be entertained. Oregon State 24, Stanford 20: This smelled like a potential Stanford upset, but then the Cardinal got hit with a couple of injuries on the OL and at WR, so the Beavers get the nod in a game that figures to...

Two things shocking about this ad that appeared in Monday's editions of the Los Angeles Times. First, it's a five-column ad in the Times, a rarity these days. (OK, we couldn't resist a jab at our former employer.) Second, Slick Rick and the Bruins better win a few games before they start claiming turf. Tennessee is coming to town...

Posted by ESPN.com's Ted Miller Of course, you plan to watch every game. But if you had to pick 10, might we suggest... 1. Ohio State at USC, Sept. 13: It's the game of the year, period. The winner is an immediate national title contender and the loser won't be eliminated. No game this season will even approach the...

Posted by ESPN.com's Ted Miller LOS ANGELES -- It passed through my head that perhaps I should ask UCLA center Micah Reed whether he'd seen "The Dark Knight," or what he thought of Michael Phelps at the Olympics or whether he'd noticed that it was another beautiful day in Southern California. His look of resignation -- I'm UCLA's center,...

This is a phrase that is often used when talking about the superiority of the SEC as a conference. As in “year-in, year-out, the SEC is the strongest league in college football.” You hear it a lot. Way too much, in fact. Now, here’s the thing. The SEC is currently the top conference. It was amazingly good last year...
