I'd have Auburn, Notre Dame, and LSU lower. Georgia, Michigan State, and South Carolina higher.

So if someone kills themselves that nullifies an investigation? That is a ridiculous thing to even suggest. Do I know what happened? Nope. Was the investigation completely shitty? Yep. Not at all was I suggesting. I was trying to say on what grounds in response to Jedi. I just get sick of people using it as if the school covered up a rape, its ridiculous and pathetic on their part. What did you expect people to take from the response? He remarked that this gets a big investigation but the sexual assault was barely investigated and no one in the area seemed to care that it wasn't, and you replied that because the "victim off'd themselves" that there's nothing to investigate. Even if you ignore the callousness of that statement, he was criticizing the investigation, or lack thereof, and your only response was that she killed herself. There's really no other way to take it other than you saying "She killed herself so the investigation ended" which really isn't how police work usually goes and doesn't really make any sense in the first place. I don't think lashing out at people who bring up that situation is the way to go when the fact that he was a football player compounds with really abnormal and callous police work. That's not the ridiculous and pathetic part of the situation.

Notre Dame is not the crimes against persons division of the South Bend PD. To initiate an internal investigation could have tainted evidence and burned witnesses for the actual police. So them not investigating on their own during an active police investigation? Perfectly acceptable and preferable. Not doing oversight once their players/students were "cleared"? Not acceptable. I don't know details so I'm off to see what I can find online. But my opinion at this moment based on whati do know, is that you cannot betray a victim and I think Notre Dame may have

BTW, woop! My beloved Aggies still grabbed#21 despite the doubters. Kenny Hill taking the snaps as a duel threat. Their receivers are tuned up and ready. Now...defense...when the guy on the other side gets the ball and runs right up the middle, you are supposed to tackle him before he gets ten yards. Remember that, it may be useful and I'm not sure they made that clear before last seasons tarted

Preseason polls are just an excuse for the media to have something college-football related to write about.

Well there goes a huge blow to everyone's wish of the first Playoff being Oklahoma, Ohio State, Florida State, and Auburn/Bama.

Still as much as I dislike Ohio State(and I really, really do), I must feel bad for their fans. All spring and summer long they've been hyping themselves up for this season. Their team was one of the early favorites to make the Playoff in its very first year, their stud QB was an early favorite for the Heisman. And now right before the season begins they have to suddenly re-adjust their expectations for the season. They have to go from expecting a shot at the National Championship to preparing for hoping they get a winning season and a decent bowl game.
That is a very, and I mean VERY, hard pill to swallow on short notice. I mean I've had the same amount of time they've had hyping themselves up to come to terms with OK State is at best going to win 8 games in the regular season this year, 9 wins being an act of god, so I'm set with my expectations. Then again I always just hope for at least a 6-6 season and a bowl appearance, so I have low standards to begin with, but still, I've had time to accept and even expect my team to not be in the Playoff this year.

If Miller is out have to make MSU the con favorite. Barrett is a talented kid but frosh usually have growing-pains and coming-out of East Lansing with a W was going to be tough as-is.
