Posted by ESPN.com's Mike Sando Based on an initial count, NFL teams drafted 10 players from USC over the weekend, more than from any other college. That included four players in the first round and seven in the first two rounds. Those figures also ranked first for this draft. Virginia Tech had eight players drafted, followed by LSU (seven),...

The Bill Callahan hangover is over and they're ready for the Bo Pelini era to start at Nebraska, where 80,149 packed Memorial Stadium last Saturday for the spring game. At $10 a ticket, the Cornhuskers cashed in. So did some scalpers, who were asking up to $150 for a ticket on StubHub.The momentum is carrying over to the fall....

We're No. 2. The final numbers are in and have the Rose Bowl finishing No. 2 among households reached with the TV broadcast, behind only the BCS title game. But the numbers also show the non-BCS Capital One Bowl right ahead of USC-Illinois New Year's Day right on the heels of the Rose. And that points out the one...

But naming Oregon's Dennis Dixon as the No. 7 quarterback...

Let's say you're one of the BCS high muckey-mucks and you check out this year's final rankings and what do you see. Well, for one thing, you see a two-loss Virginia Tech team that played in probably the worst of the six BCS conferences, a Va. Tech team that lost by 41 points, yep forty-one, to LSU. And then...

The president of a local alumni association did the math and here is how it could work out:
I've done some math, and here is the scenario, we beat UCLA in a good ol' fashioned butt-whomping, Missouri loses to Oklahoma, Boston College beats Virginia Tech, Tennessee knocks off LSU, Pitt beats West Virginia, Ohio State is the site of a massive Alien Abduction with the entire student body transported to the Zarquon 7 Sector in the Crab Nebula, Kansas secedes from the Union thus making them ineligible and Georgia realizes that its not really a university to begin with, so it drops out of membership in the NCAA, setting up a GOLDEN matchup with USC and Hawaii for the national championship.
[Thanks Jennifer!]

After 57 minutes of errant passes, cement shoes and incessant ugliness, Matt Ryan’s Heisman candidacy was gone baby gone. BC was, in the immortal words of Dan LeBatard, “another No. 2 team ending up on its back like Paris Hilton” (sounded funnier when he said it). Then the rally happened, and if you missed it watching the World Series...
