James Harden would put Arizona State top 15. Remember Jake Plummer in the Rose Bowl?

For '09, when they were 8-5, 30 might be logical, but they were 6-7 in '10. That's more like 60th at best.

By my count, they finished the season ranked higher than they started it 5 of those years, the same once, and lower 6 times.

I'd say that's pretty much on par with where you would see most perennially ranked teams. 50/50.

BGSU hires Dino Babers out of Eastern Illinois, who was #2 in the FCS and had a prolific offense averaging 590 yards and 48 PPG. I think it's great hire, for a team that brings almost everyone back they will be very dangerous, this guy was an offensive coach under Art Briles while RG3 was there and went 7-5 his first season as a coach, then made them one of the best in the country. Hell they almost beat NIU this year, losing 43-39.

Also he was Josh Gordon's WR coach in college, as well as Kendall Wright

They had Kendall Wright, Josh Gordon and Terrence Williams at the same time. RGIII definitely had serious weapons.

ESPN is going to air the national championship on six different channels, with six different approaches:

ESPN: Standard, Herbie and Musberger
ESPN2: Broadcast featuring analysts and special guests
ESPNEWS: Play-by-play analysis using different camera angles to break down plays
ESPN Classic: Broadcast with no announcers, just stadium sound
ESPN Goal Line: Split screen, live action and replays
ESPN3: FSU and Auburn radio calls overlaid on the broadcast

That's pretty cool. I'm looking forward to the ESPNEWS play by play and analysis breakdown.

Pssh even on the Detroit Free Press site most Wolverine fans think he did it. Guy is a bitch, how he acts on the field and now this, come on you're a monstrous human, you really fight a bunch of fans? What the hell is he gonna do if he plays a game in any Midwest city next year? Fight the whole dog pound?

But go ahead and cheer on a guy who hits women at bars. Never cheer for a kid who gets in a fight in college.

So what. A lot of these kids are dicks. As a fan, why would I care if a guy is a dick or not? Urban Meyer is a dick too, but I bet you don't care.

I have no idea if he did, nor do I really care to be honest. But he posted a one-sided story from a Buckeye website. Gee, I wonder what side they are on.
