The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have officially returned to glory. Propelled by last night's come from behind 24-21 victory over Purdue, the Irish have once again regained the top ranking. In the Northern Indiana Football Poll.
"It's great that we have returned to prominence in northern Indiana," said head coach Charlie Weis. "Hopefully with some hard work, we can be ranked number one in all of Indiana, and not just in the northern part. Maybe one day, we can be talked about in the national college football discussion too. Because we are good and can beat good teams. Not just because we are Notre Dame and we were good in the 70s and 80s. And Lou Holtz 'unbiased' opinions don't count either."

Last night, during the Florida Gators - Kentucky Wildcats game, Gators quarterback Tim Tebow was taken out of the game and sent to a hospital due to a concussion. Coincidentally, every female fan in the country was present at the same hospital with concussion like symptoms.
"It's a strange phenomenon," said a representative of the Lexington, Kentucky hospital. "For every female college football fan to suffer a concussion on the same evening as Tim Tebow is really quite remarkable. It's almost as if they are living vicariously through Tebow. Or maybe just stalking him in some weird way."
The entire state of Florida, including the owner of the Jaguars, is also believed to be suffering from concussion like symptoms at this time. |

Despite an apparent mismatch, the Tennessee-Florida matchup was highly publicized due to the verbal feud between head coaches Lane Kiffin and Urban Meyer. Today, following the Gators 23-13 victory on Saturday, Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin has added some more fuel to the fire, criticizing #1 Florida for barely beating a clearly inferior Tennessee team.
"They only beat us by 10?" asked Kiffin. "Did they see us play UCLA, at home? I don't think this was the #1 team in the country. I mean, they barely beat a team coached by me. And we all saw what I was able to do with the Raiders."

Injuries are already starting to decimate the USC Trojans. Starting quarterback Matt Barkley is out for this weekend's game, and will be replaced by Aaron Corp, a slightly less talented high school All-American blue chip quarterback.
"This isn't good," said a member of the USC coaching staff. "We are going on the road with our backup quarterback. Granted, he is a blue chipper and could probably start for 115 out of 120 Division I schools. But bottom line, he is still a backup, and slightly less talented than our starter."
This breaking news clearly puts USC's national title hopes in jeopardy. If any more players are injured, only to be replaced by slightly less talented High School All-American blue chip recruits, it could be a long season for the Trojans. |

If Jim Tressel has been accused of anything, it's that he is a conservative coach. He is taking that to the next level today, as he has announced that the Ohio St. Buckeyes will punt on first down for the remainder of the season.
"Turnovers are bad," said Tressel. "Negative yardage is bad. By punting on first down, we eliminate turnovers and lost yardage. Hopefully our defense can play well enough, and can create some turnovers and scoring opportunities for us."
If the defense cannot create turnovers, it will be very difficult for Ohio St. to score. Especially since they are giving the ball back to their opponent right away. Fortunately, they play in the Big 10 and will most likely qualify for a BCS bowl somehow, only to be defeated by an approximate score of 79-0.

Handling last night's tough 38-34 loss to Miami is very difficult for Florida State. As a result, the school has asked the NCAA to vacate the loss.
"They vacate wins, why not losses?" said a spokesperson for the athletic department. "I mean, it doesn't hurt anyone. Miami would still get the win, we just wouldn't have a loss. Our chance for an undefeated national championship would still be in tact. At least until we lose to Jacksonville St. next week, or BYU the week after."
Florida St. is also asking its sports information office to vacate all incomplete passes, turnovers and Miami Hurricane touchdowns from last night's game.

Following their rough opening week in college football, the ACC has decided to cancel the rest of the season. They will focus their energy and efforts on basketball instead.
"We knew we were bad, but not this bad," said a conference spokesperson. "Losing to TWO I-AA teams is not a good way for our conference to start the season. Add in the beat down some other schools took, we think we should just turn our attention to college basketball. We're much better at that sport anyway."

In last night's 14-13 upset of Oklahoma at the hands of BYU, Sam Bradford injured his right shoulder. Following the game, his right shoulder made it clear that he would like to declare for last year's NFL draft.
"It was always my intention to declare for the NFL draft after last season," said Bradford's right shoulder. "I, I mean Sam, would have been the #1 overall pick. So move out of the way, Stafford, I'm calling for a do-over."
Despite only having an AC sprain, which should only hold Bradford out about a month, his throwing shoulder doesn't want to take any chances.
Said his shoulder, "I want my $40 million guaranteed, and right now my, I mean our best chance at getting it is to declare for the draft that took place last April."
No word yet from NFL offices on whether or not a "do-over" draft rule is on the books.

The final predictions on ESPN's College Gameday are always a highlight for college football fans. Today, is was a bit confusing, as Lee Corso mistakenly predicted Appalachian St. would win the Alabama vs. Virginia Tech game. Off air, he defended his prediction.
"Not so fast my friend!" said Corso. "Appalachian St. beat a good Michigan team AT Michigan a couple of years ago. If the ball bounces their way a couple of times and they catch a lot of breaks, they could pull off an even bigger upset and beat Alabama and Virginia Tech. Besides, the mountaineer looked more interesting to me than an elephant head or that turkey looking thing Virginia Tech brings out."
ESPN is guarding against this type of mistake in the future. From now on, they will only have the mascot heads of the two teams playing in the game, so Corso isn't thrown off.

Many experts felt that if Boise St. defeated the Oregon Ducks in a playoff type game, they would solidify their chances at a BCS bowl invitation. But following their 19-8 victory, the team is still without a BCS bid.
"We worked our tails off, and for what?" said Boise St. head coach Chris Peterson. "We are undefeated, and we've beaten a ranked opponent from a BCS conference. But has anyone called from the Fiesta Bowl, the Orange Bowl, or the Sugar Bowl? No. I don't know what else we can do. The system needs to be fixed."
The Boise St. Broncos have done all that they could do, and yet remain on the outside, looking in. This controversy will surely add fuel to the fire for those in favor of a playoff system.
