"Yes, even this four-team baby step is being met with scorn by the more-more-more crowd failing to realize that, even in its infancy, this just-birthed format is already infinitesimally better than what the BcS has wrought over the past decade-plus"
Really? Who writes that? Does he not know the definitions of words? Is he just trying to sound smart, but in the process revealing ignorance?

Click here for link14 SEC teams in 2012 and a burning question for each. Today brings #12 of 14.
Can Mississippi State win a game after October 20th?
Dan Mullen enters his fourth year at State with a 21-17 mark. Last year’s bunch squeaked out a 7-6 record following a Music City Bowl win over Wake Forest, but, overall, the season was a bit of a disappointment after the ’10 squad notched a 9-4 record. The Bullies were supposedly supposed to knock the door in in 2011, but wound up taking a step back to being very average.
The truth is that 2010 included some serious aberrations that led to the nine win season. The Dogs beat an under-performing Georgia team and also kicked Urban Meyer’s can, 10-7, in his train wreck last season at Florida. Take away those two wins, as normally would be the case versus Georgia and Florida, and State would have been 7-6.
This year’s team has a chance to be very good – if they were playing in Conference USA or the Big East. But they’re not. They’re still in the SEC West and beginning on October 27th, they’ll play, in succession Alabama, Texas A&M, LSU, Arkansas and then in-state rival Ole Miss. That’s a heckuva five game stretch for the Dogs, so they better hope they get business done before October 27th if they want to go bowling. .......... One of those is probably a win. The Dogs might win a second one if they get really lucky against the Aggies.

Did Sumlin get the job offer prior to A&M jumping ship or after? If before, then he can plead ignorance. If not, its his own fault for getting his team's butt kicked every year.
It was about the same time, but I think he knew when he accepted the job.

On defense, the Wolverines bring back three starting linebackers and four starting members of a secondary that was one of the best in the country at stopping the pass. Click here for linkHmm, checking that says 16th nationally, 5th in the Big10 against the pass: Passing defense: 190.46 ypg (16th, 5th)
So, either the Big10 is filled with lock-down corners and safeties , or they just don't pass much, as a team only 5th in the conference is 16th in the nation.

It will be interesting to see what or if any action the NCAA takes with this since the conviction.
How do you figure the NCAA has any jurisdiction on the Sandusky thing? I apologize in advance if I'm missing something but this seems like a an external PSU matter. Click here for linkInteresting article in the Tennessean about Penn State's liability. Great article, thanks for posting it. For all of Penn State's supposed remorse over this, they just want it to go away so they can pretend nothing happened and go back to acting like they are better than everyone else. PSU is getting blistered. Coaches, or ex-coaches are facing prison time. The main character just began to spend the rest of his life in prison. Once it is all over this may cost the school $100 million (my number) paid in legal fees and settlements. But there are intangibles that cannot be so easily calculated, such as when the PSU AD calls Arizona Goat Riders University and the AD for the Goat Riders says, "Coach we'd love to play you guys, but frankly, our guys would have to wear rubber gloves the whole weekend, after we heard how ya'll act". A big circle of Goat Rider assistant coaches are heard laughing in the background as the AD hangs up the phone. The criminal courts will take care of the felonies the same as is done every day in courtrooms and courthouses around America. Then our out of control Trial Lawyers will butcher the PSU hog and leave no scraps. The coaches and administrators will be sued out of their britches, judgments entered and executions and levies issued on every available asset of the individuals. Then in class action the same process will go after the university and their vast assets. I don't pretend to know the law but I would guess PSU would stall and let Curley and the boys get sued individually in order to see what additional damaging evidence and legal briefs were used in the civil cases filed by smaller law firms against the individuals. I wonder how many dependable, every tax season, PSU alumni (and otherwise) donors there are that PSU alumni affairs is having touble getting on the phone? If Bama had spent my donations on an office for Sandusky I think I'd be giving to Wounded Warriors this year instead. How many recruits (we saw some in February) changed or will change their mind on PSU. Try hiring an administrator from outside the PSU family to come to work under these conditions. The NCAA has to do absolutely nothing and these guys are getting the worst beating any team ever has. Ask the Mustangs if they could reverse time and switch places with PSU. They deserve what they are getting and with newspapers failing, I realize why the guy wrote the article. But the NCAA hasn't said a word about piling on, nor are any of the big boys (ESPN or CBS) even calling for it. Some beat writer in Nashville won't change that-- but even he admits it. This is a criminal matter and the justice system and the civil courts will deal out the punishment. FYI, this won't be a class action because the "class" is sufficiently small and identifiable, and damages are uniquely individual. There likely will be one, large civil suit filed or consolidated against the university and administrators. The university might file a motion to separate the individual claims and then seek to go to trial on the weakest claim first for precendential purposes and ultimate settlement value. The plaintiff lawyers likely will attempt to stick with one suit, at least on liability, for piling on (get the jury riled up at just how horribly PSU neglected all these children).

Devonta Pollard definitely is a needed addition and should add more inside scoring, but we've seen other freshmen needing more development at Bama to live up to their potential as dominant players. Bama also has some rising talent big guys who developed well by the end of last season and should be better this year. I think CAG decided "out with the old, in with the new" just in time last year to get this team geared up for a great upcoming season -- in the NCAA Tournament, perhaps only behind Kentucky in the SEC.

A lot of "what ifs" in that scenario. It would be less speculation if everything last year remained the same, except Oregon beat USC and Stanford and won the PAC12, with its only loss to LSU. Looking strictly at those two teams, it is possible that Oregon would have gotten the nod over Alabama for the BCS title game, even though Bama was the better team and played LSU much better than did Oregon. That's because the computers seem to favor offensive teams, and because of regional bias away from an all-SEC championship.
Doing away with the "what ifs," the truth is that the stars aligned for Bama last year, and it was given the deserved opportunity to prove its superiority on the field. After the BCSCG, no one was claiming that Bama did not deserve its championship.

The buddy system rarely works out. Two recent examples come curtesy of the barn. Dakota Mosley came as a package deal with Dyer. Dyer has transfered and Mosley is going to jail. In basketball two players from B'ham went to the barn. CAG was recruiting only one of them. Both players transfered after their freshmen year.
This is probably what Dabo is hoping for. Keep NkEmdiche and hope the others realize they aren't going to play and transfer out after a year. Someone pointed out that one of the HS teammates was a legit prospect, but the other(s) are just deal sweeteners.
