WEEKEND GAME THREAD
Our GamePlan is on the fritz, so we can only imagine the awesome sight of Tim Tebow running through hapless Western Carolina defenders for a 21 yard TD. (The little blue bar graph can’t possibly hint at the devastation.)
Other, more important football games abound, though. Comment below, and luxuriate in six minutes of Tebow training with his workout partner, Mothra.

Jim, or Jim-Bob, or
JimmyJoeMoeBlowSchmo Cooter:
To the educated football fan, “SC” always means:
***Univ. of Southern California Trojans***
Wait until Spurrier does something with your Male Chickens of the South to attempt to stake a claim on the “SC” or “USC” initials, when discussing college football. (I hope he stays there and does not go to Miami.)
Otherwise, you come accross like this NASCAR-cliche dude that would make even Pete Carroll blush:

While I’m still scratching my head over how big of a ND apologist you have to be to propose that a win over a 4-8 Michigan State team should be included in a list of “good wins” because they were “killing Eastern Michigan” before their matchup with ND (maybe it’s because the irish have lost three times in the last 8 years to Sparty teams that finished the season with sub-.500 records that this might be considered a resume builder.)
But in regard to the conferences & their relative strength…I note that the power conferences have have managed the following numbers of bowl eligible teams this year:
SEC-9 (5 East, 4 West)
Big 12-9 (5 South, 4 North)
Pac 10-8
ACC-7 (5 Atl., 2 Coa.) (Miami & UVA can still qualify with wins)
Big ten-7
Big East-6 (Uconn can still qualify with 2 wins)
I don’t know what this proves, other than from the numbers of bowl eligible teams, it appears that the big 10 doesn’t stack up as well from top to bottom…so I’d guess that one-loss teams from the SEC would have more of an argument to make about strength of schedule than say, Michigan. But of course, don’t forget, Michigan beat Notre dame…who beat that 5-loss powerhouse UCLA…good one.
It also strikes me as strange how it goes without mention that the top three teams in the discussion for the BCS game, all come from conferences who refuse to nut up and play a CCG. It seems that their stubbornness on this subject really suits their best interests in seasons such as this one. If a “rematch” is as necessary as a lot of people seem to think, I’d think that a big 10 CG would seem to be a better place to hold it. I remember Herbstreit saying how fraudulent the BCS formula was in 2001, letting a non-conference champ into the MNC game…he sure was singing a different tune when it started looking like michigan might possibly come back on his buckeyes last Saturday.
