I have a question, who is the better run defender? Bruce Smith or Reggie White?

I would go with Reggie White, due to the fact that he could do just about everything on the D-line, whereas Smith mostly went after the QB.

Anyways, there is even more news about conference realignment, including the Big East going after Navy, Air Force and Boise State in order to keep their AQ for the BCS. I can understand why they would go after Navy and UCF considering they are both East Coast schools, but I had to lol when they considered Boise St. and Air Force to join their conference.

Also, there is talk that the Mountain West and Conference USA is going to get together and form a 22 team superconference, for what it's worth. If they do pull this off, then their might be some legit argument for them to get a BCS bid, even if most of those teams range from okay to total shit.

As for the games tomorrow, the game I'm most interested in, {obviously} is Michigan at Michigan State. Spartans are generally an annoying team to deal with, especially at home and with their defense as good as it is, this is arguably going to be the the toughest test we face this year on both sides of the ball, {with the probable exception of the Big Ten title game.} and if the Wolverines want to win this game, they have to get Smith, Shaw and Tousaint in the game and don't turn the ball over. If they do win this game, then Michigan could easily go undefeated throughout the rest of the schudule, at least up into the Big Ten Championship Game.

Lol at Michigan in the Big Ten Title Game...

Even bigger LOL for your Buckeyes, you said that they were going to be 12-1, and now they have 3 losses already, and they are now starting to go down the toilet. Tell me then, who did you think was goint to be in the BT title game then?

If you didn't catch the Hawaii at San Jose State game, you missed out. Pretty amazing having the Spartans commit six turnovers in the second half and manage to still pull the upset. Also, not every day you get to see a blocked PAT run back for a conversion the other way.

Anyways, the big match early is the Michigan at Michigan State game. I think Sparty can pull the narrow win. Facing the first quality opponent since ND in week 2, I think this game will show how much fight is in Michigan. Baylor at Texas A&M is also a good match up. I don't see Baylor winning on the road verses the 12th man but it should be good for the first half. Although the second half and Aggies...

Mid afternoon, the Oklahoma State at Texas should be the game to watch. I want to see if the Pokes can light up Texas just as OU did or if the horns can go ahead and knock State out of Big 12 champ contention. Also, LSU is facing Tennessee; chalk one up for them and another first place spot on the AP Poll next week. And, I'm kind of surprised to see the Illini doing so well this year. 6-0 and about to run over OSU.

Evening, Alabama will cruise easily over Ole Miss and so will Boise State over CSU, but I think the Kansas State at Texas Tech is the most interesting match up. The Wildcats are undefeated and heading to Lubbock to face an always pass happy Red Raiders team. The Florida at Auburn game isn't going to be entertaining, since the Gators are just taking on water and their ship is about to sink.

Late late evening, the Arizona State at Oregon game. ASU has the Pac 12 south virtually wrapped up already but I don't really see them winning in Eugene. Could be a nice foreshadowing into the Pac 12 championship game if Stanford messes up along the way.

If you're refering to Denard Robinson, then for today you are correct. Overall, however he has only thrown 1 game ending pick {which was this week.} I could easily mention another QB that choked away a lead in Nebraska, but I'll take a pass on that. And if he was throwing said big picks, how come they are 6-1 then?

Hell, he averages like three interceptions a game, he is just a running threat.

For the last 2 weeks. And if you think he isn't a threat passing the ball, just go ask Notre Dame about how he has carved up their defense. Denard simply had a bad day passing, with the whipping wind against that Spartan defense that for all intents and purposes shut out OSU last week. {which isn't a good offensive team, but still.}

Miami University wrecks Kent State's Homecoming by winning a close game with a score of 9-3.

This was a pretty interesting game. I wasn't wild about driving four hours to watch a football game that could've ended up with us losing badly and ESPN wasn't covering it all, so I had to listen to the whole thing in my car with the AM radio. I'm glad we won, but the whole experience felt weird. I wonder if next week's game at Toledo will feel the same...

Green Bay's throwback jerseys are so ugly and different from their current outfits. I wish they would wear something that looked similar to the modern look. Maybe something from the 60s?

Anyone else agree with me or am I bitching over nothing?

The Giants have tons to injuries lately and still beat the Buffalo Bills. Really hope they'll hang on because if the injuries continues to pile, it's going to be tough.

I still remember what happened in 2006, people claimed Tiki's idiocy plays a huge role but what really did it is the injuries.

That have already lost some players to injuries but didn't hit close to rock bottom until Strahan and Petitgout went down.

Granted Petitgout sucked but the guy who replaced him turns out to be worse.

So, Green Bay stands alone as the only undefeated team in the NFL for this season. It's nice to know that they haven't lost their Super Bowl luster. However, I was really disappointed in the way that Detroit played that last minute in their game today. I honestly believed that they were going to pull out some amazing comeback victory in those last few seconds. Looks like I was wrong...

5-2 with the picks this week. Not sure if I'll be doing better or worse than I did last week...

I can't say I was actually expecting a comeback, but I was at least expecting a much more exciting drive. It's as if the Lions just lost all hope at the end.

Anyway, Texans had me a bit worried throughout the 1st half, but the Ravens did a better job of moving the ball down the field in the second half. Still not too happy about how much we had to rely on field goals though, we moved the ball down the field pretty efficiently but had a lot of trouble getting it in the end zone.

Let's see what happened today,

Cincinnati won. {of course} The Colts still gave them a game, but our defense stepped in and put it out of reach. At 4-2, they are certainly playing better than most people expected, including 1 person that shall remain nameless.

Dallas and Cleveland choked, as always. Athough for the Cryboys, Tony Romo didn't nessacarily choked that game away for them, it was their defense.

And in the end, Green Bay is the only undefeated team left in the NFL, not really much of a surprise considering how loaded this team is on both sides of the ball. What is a surprise is the 49ers are 5-1, with Alex Smith at QB no less. The NFC West might have a division winner that will be over .500 for the first time in 2 years, assuming the 49ers don't slack off of course.

Oh, and Travis compared me to Mark May, lol. If that's so, then Travis might as well be Skip Bayless, considering all the crazy crap that both of them like to say from time to time. Plus, if you're so adament about attacking my teams all the time, why don't you defend your Buckeyes and the Brownies then?

I never said the Browns would be good. I was optimistic about them in the preseason, but it goes without saying that preseason doesn't mean shit.

I didn't say that the Bengals were going to be good either, but so far, they have exceeded everyone's expectations, you must admit that.

The Buckeyes... hmmm. Well Urban Meyer picked them to win the Big Ten at the start of the year AND he said they are the most talented team in the conference. Apparently we have a coaching problem. I.e. that sorry ass O-Coordinator who doesn't deserve to be named.

Meyer probably didn't know about Wisconsin who won the Big Ten conference last year, and somehow got Russel Wilson as QB. As for a coaching problem, well they needed a stopgap coach, and even after Fickell leaves, I don't think too many coaches that want to take a HC job when the school is going to take some major hits from the NCAA.

Yet again, I am a realist. Not a Bayless. You never want to give the Buckeyes credit, but how long has it been since you guys have beat them

I can't really give the Buckeyes too much credit at all, considering you did lose to Texas, USC, Florida, LSU, and you were favored against most of them. Now I will give the Bucks some credit in winning the Big Ten almost every year, {probably because the Big Ten was horrible through much of the decade.} but at the same time, you didn't capitalize on a lot of chances to be a CFB dynasty the way USC and Florida did. Didn't you say that they were going to be 12-1, even though that team is really stripped down from last year?

talk all of the shit you want, but Michigan hasn't been relevant in Championship talk for a long time and before the debacle that happened with Tressel and such we were expecting another run at the National Championship.

Actually we have been relevent at least until 2007, when all the bullshit started. Plus, just because OSU was expecting another run at the NT, didn't mean they were going to win it, especially since they did get smoked constantly by the SEC and by USC the last couple of years.

So, it seems like the problem with both of my teams is coaching, but The Buckeyes are having a brighter outlook than the Browns.

I'll agree on that. The Browns have yet to play the Steelers, Ravens and 49ers, and judging on how bad they have played so far, this is definitely going to be a long season. As for the Buckeyes, Wisconsin and Michigan will beat their brains in, but other than that, you might win against the rest of them, and end up in a 2nd tier bowl game.

So, there I have defended my teams... something you have yet to do, other than that sad argument you used about Notre Dame earlier. I doubt you have much to say about Michigan's record considering the trash that they have played so far....

We play what's in front of us. Sure the competition might not exactly be world beating per se, but still we're 6-1, and you can't argue that, and besides, most other teams do it anyway. Oh, and if you're wondering who we play next year, we are going playing Alabama in the Cowboys Classic next year, that should remove some doubt.

As for the Bengals, the only team they have beaten with a winning record is Buffalo. What's even more sad is that you guys keep getting blacked out... and you guys have a winning record. Way to support the team.

So? It's not like the other guys that we've beaten so far don't get paid as well, not to mention that our schudules are randomly genorated. As for the blackout situation, I may not know how TV stations work their bullshit, but they don't seem to black out Browns games, even though they suck ass almost every year.

The Bengals' strength of schedule is 27th.

So? As I said, it's not like the other guys aren't being paid ungodly amounts of money to play ball. Plus, the Browns schedule isn't really that much tougher then ours either, and you're 2-3 and we're 4-2, what's their excuse? We just do our business as we usually do, and we have done well so far, especially after what happened with Carson Palmer and the renovation of the offense in general.

Here's my big issue. Quit acting like a fucking know-it-all, especially with your parenthetical "of course" comments, and act like a realist. In other words, stop being a stubborn fan and look at the big picture.

Probably understands why we'll never see eye to eye on a lot of things. As a fan, it's part of me to be stubborn, because I believe in them, for what it's worth. Now that doesn't mean that they can't improve on what they have done. {i.e Can Cincinnati try to score more on offense to help their defense? Abosolutely} But from what I've seen so far, you can't help but to be optimistic. Hopefully, they don't fall back into old patterns and tailspin later in the season, which I say they won't.

10-3 for this week, total of 59-31 now.

I'm 11-2 this week, all in all, I was right on the money except for Detroit and Washington letting me down.

Which means I'm 63-27 overall, not bad if I do say so myself.

Official: Palmer to the Raiders for a huge price. They gave up a first round pick in 2012 and a second round in 2013 which can become a first round if they win a playoff game.
