if you mean recruiting classes its Alabama #1. FSU #2

espn has FSU as #1 but with the recruit numbers it doesnt really make sense...
Rivals.com breaks it down a little better.

i see Notre Dame at #9 on rivals

Clemson actually had the most 5 star recruits.. but they lacked badly on 4 stars, which is why they are so far down the list.

Doom878

Yeah in talking to a buddy the site referenced way way off rivals and espn

No surprises here. It's pretty long so I won't paste it here, but it's not a bad read.

Thoughts?

college kids are human...

punishment should be heavily based on the severity of the crime..

throwing a man through a glass door in a fight shouldnt ruing somebody's career/life

Some are saying Tressel's coaching career might be done if he lied about when he knew about the dap-for-tat stuff.

I will never trust another article that says, "Yahoo's report appears to be based on one anonymous source."

After all the shit that was written about Cam unless these "sources" come out and say what they know then it's just a BS article.

CocheseUGA

Yahoo's done some credible stuff in the past.

As far as anonymous sources go, that's 95% of information today. You can't just ignore it or only report stuff where people go on the record. It's not realistic.

hornyleprechaun

But it creates the push for media members to be the first to report whether or not it is true. That's how the news is reported these days.. they hear something and run with it whether their sources are legit or not.

CocheseUGA

It's a fair point. But I think the articles I've seen on this particular subject have been fair by repeatedly stating 'if it's true', etc.

'One anonymous source' might be a player on the team irritated by the preferential treatment. It might be Rich Rodriguez. We have to leave it up to the original reporter to determine if the content might be relevant and true. And as much as I hate the douchebag opinion writers on Yahoo, past performance deems I at least give it the good possibility it might be true.

hornyleprechaun

True. Yahoo has been pretty good in the past. The reporters have to protect their sources, but there have been recent cases where these "sources" ended up being completely wrong.

Well crap....

It's usually the slow period in college football, but thanks to OSU and the SEC, there's still stuff to talk about.


Tressel emailed Pryor's mentor the information without telling the NCAA or the school. It's now gone from possible to probable that Tressel won't be coaching at OSU again.

Going to be a special on HBO tonight about boosters from LSU, OSU, Michigan and....Auburn giving cash payments to prospects and players. Some also claim prostitution, a bit similar to what may have happened at Tennessee under Kiffen (Tennessee Pride).

And finally the Fiesta Bowl may soon go back down to being the irrelevant bowl it once was. The CEO was fired, and the BCS is apparently demanding that they explain why they should continue to be a premier bowl.

Rumor has been for awhile that if a BCS slot would open up, the Chick-fil-A Bowl would be a front-runner.

Glad HBO found 4 disgruntled, broke players that used to play for Auburn. Raven Gray didn't even play for Auburn because he couldn't cut it at practice, so he quit. Chaz Ramsey lost a lawsuit against Auburn, no axe to grind? The other 2 are just broke and dumb.

CocheseUGA

Didn't see that response coming.

Dr. Colorado

I hope they get rid of Tressel, douche.

Chick-fil-A brr brr Bowl? Doubtful. My bet is on Cotton Bowl in Jerry World.

cotton would be my uneducated guess as well...

CocheseUGA

That's the new player in town, but the Peach/CFA people have been running a very successful operation for awhile. It also helps that they know how to seat people. Besides, Dallas gets as cold or colder.

You'd have to look at the contracts, too. I think the CFA Bowl comes up for renewal with the conferences sooner.

I heard that Pac10 might play on Sundays if there's no NFL season. Holy logistics nightmare but good idea.

Rockstar21

i'd watch... oregon has become one of my fav. teams to watch... so having LSU on sat. and Oregon on Sunday works perfect for me...

but they meet up in the first game of the season.. so its all purple and gold that day

and if the NFL DOES sit this coming season, they wont get my views/money for 2012..

hornyleprechaun

Why wait until April to come out with this stuff?

2 guys haven't played since the 2005 season
1 hasn't played since the 2007 season
1 never played (signed in 2008)

CocheseUGA

Statute of limitations I believe is four years, or so I was told.

As for April, this was being talked about several months ago. I believe Ronnie Brown was telling them to STFU.


But it doesn't matter, this happens at every major football school. It's not really news for those who hear the scuttlebutt.

Wow. And he was supposed to be a Cane. So what was it that people were saying how they preferred college football over NFL because the kids play for the love.

Dr. Colorado

Tru dat! College football is just watered down NFL. F-ck the NFL, I won't mind watching my Cardinal play on Sunday.

CocheseUGA

I'd enjoy it too.


Going back to the Fiesta Bowl, I read an article the other day that listed the top 5 alternatives the BCS would look at. It's basically this article, but I think it was on ESPN and better written.

http://www.examiner.com/college-foot...rite-if-needed

The original article had (I think this is the right order):
1) Jerryworld
2) Capital One
3) Fiesta
4) CFA
5) Outback

I get all of those except for Orlando. The stadium is crappy, the field has been crappy for years...I just don't see it.

The other reason I'd move Atlanta up is everyone forgets the CFBHOF is coming here, they'd love to have a Tier 1 bowl to go with it.

Cowboys Stadium. A reference to megalomanic owner Jerry Jones and his "super" stadium.
