November 6, 2010 by
The reason why there has already been discussion about the Rose Bowl (taking place in January 2011) is that the likely Pac-10 Champion, Oregon, may ultimately play in the National Championship Game. If this happens, then the question becomes: who plays in the Rose Bowl game in Oregon’s place? Under normal circumstances if the Rose […]

Week 9 Results: Three Higher Ranked (but not necessarily favored) Teams Fall
November 1, 2010 by
BIG 12 No. 6 Missouri 17 (7-1) at No. 14 Nebraska (7-1). Nebraska wins 31-17: Nebraska’s offense is clearly more dominant running the ball than passing it.
