* If I could pick any coach to run my program, I’d take Steve Spurrier in a heartbeat.
* I can’t wait for Bama to drop a game they should win and the resulting implosion from Saban and the Tide faithful.
* USC v. LSU would be a great Championship Game. Booty returns to Louisiana for his final game. LSU plays at home for all the marbles. The game that should have been played after the 2003 season will finally come to fruition. Bourbon Street would be insane.
* LSU is going to win 10 or 11 games and the SEC Title.
* There are about 10 teams that could win it all. The difference between those teams is minimal. One injury to a key player, a let down one week, or just plain bad luck can change the course of their season.
* College Gameday is really fallen off the last few years. Too much fluff and other junk.
* Thursday night football booth went into the toilet this year. Herbstreit out, Flutie and Craig James in…yuck.
* I understand the shooting at Virginia Tech was a horrible event for everyone in Blacksburg, but ESPN’s coverage was ridiculous. At one point of the broadcast I couldn’t help but think, “hey, they scheduled a football game and an actual football game broke out.” I’m all for paying respect and being sensitive to the situation, but at a certain point, the pain suffered by the victims and their families is cheapened by the media overkill.
* Michigan’s loss at home was a big wakeup call for everyone that thinks they can roll out the hat against I-AA teams.* After watching Virginia Tech flop around for 60 minutes Saturday, I feel much better about LSU’s chances this weekend.
* For the first week of the season, there were a number of entertaining games. Auburn v. K-State went down to the wire. UT v. Cal was a track meet for most of the night. Colorado State v. Colorado went into OT. Mizzu v. Illinois was wild from start to finish.
* Notre Dame is going to blow this season. I can’t wait for that Duke v. Notre Dame game on NBC on November 17.
* Oklahoma looked awesome this weekend. A run for the National Title may be in the cards for the Sooners.
* Speaking of looking awesome, the Mighty Spartans DESTROYED UAB this Saturday. Michigan State has a legitimate shot to make a bowl game this season despite a brutal schedule (at Wisconsin, at Ohio State, at Iowa, Michigan, and Penn State)

Allow me to add some musings.
1. The only reason Charlie Weis isn't on the hot seat this morning is because Lloyd Carr is.
2. In its defeat of Washington State, Wisconsin looked superb. If their defense tightens up, the Badgers could be Big Ten champ.
3. California will challenge USC for the top slot in the Pac 10. In fact, the Pac-10 looks to be an exceptionally exciting conference this year.
4. One of Notre Dame's "cupcake" opponents will take down the Irish this year. My pick: Navy.
