On Halloween, the fear is supposed to come from the costumes, or even the scary movies. But the scariest thing on this Halloween might be what the BCS will look like tomorrow. Oregon’s upset victory over USC at home, although not completely unexpected, may have some completely unexpected ramifications on what the BCS will look like tomorrow. Boise State, who zoomed by San Jose State on Saturday, may see the Oregon victory help them back up ...

Colt McCoy Nothing special from McCoy this week, but at this point in the season, where no one is stepping up, that’s more than enough to keep him on most lists. The Oklahoma State game was supposed to be a challenge for the Longhorns, but they didn’t struggle in the least, and McCoy had a relatively quiet night, completing 16 of 21 for 171 yards and a touchdown pass. In the coming weeks, ...

  In honor of Halloween, the Iowa Hawkeyes disguised themselves in their Jekyll and Hyde costumes.  They played like the destructive Hyde, too, until the fourth quarter when the rational and sane Dr. Jekyll was able to restore order and reappear as quarterback Ricky Stanzi in his opportunistic stance behind the center reading the defense and completing passes.  Then too, someone cast a spell on the football in the fourth quarter when it managed to bounce Iowa’s way ...

Oh how the mighty have fallen. The once feared Trojans of USC have been decimated by both the NFL Draft and injuries. The Men of Troy entered into the 2009 season at their most vulnerable since Pete Carroll first year as head coach, but that is not what lead to the embarrassing loss tonight in Eugene, Oregon. Regardless of the youth and the injuries this Trojan team was still among the most talented in the country. ...

The Wisconsin Badgers, led by running back John Clay and a stout defense, pummeled the Purdue Boilermakers in Madison, 37-0. After seeing their last two games fall apart because of mistakes in the passing game, the Badger's coaches decided to pound the rock this week. And pound the rock they did. The Badgers opened the game with an eleven play drive, and all eleven plays were run plays, with the drive finally culminating in a John Clay one yard ...

The one thing Trojan fans can take consolation in is that the best team won. Nothing cheap, no luck involved, simply the best team won. I am sure that many Trojan diehards will take offense at this notion, and will complain that I am giving too much credit to the Ducks but the facts speak for themselves. I wrote an article this week suggesting that it would take a complete effort on the part of the Trojans to ...
