(To read all of Aaron's work, including this article in its ENTIRETY, please visit him at www.aarontorres-sports.com)The idea for this list actually started in a PoliSci class five years ago.It was the start of the second semester of my sophomore year of college, and my buddy John and I were sitting there listening to some old professor with a monocle talk about Voltaire, the Russian Revolution or something political. I think. Needless to say, we were ...

The Big 12 lost it's fair share of talented receivers last season, especially up North. The Border Showdown in particular will be short a few stars from seasons past. Don't expect too much of a drop-off in the overall quality of Big 12 pass-catchers in 2010, though, because this league is ripe with talented young stars. Lets take a look at how I expect the best receivers from each team to produce in 2010, ranked in ...

The biggest question mark and hole to fill on the depth chart for Notre Dame this offseason will be the position of safety.   Going into spring camp next month, the Irish will have only one veteran with any significant playing time at safety and it is believed both positions are completely up for grabs.   With Tom Zbikowski, David Bruton, and the recently graduated Kyle McCarthy, Notre Dame has had a few very good safeties in the ...

NBC has your problems solved with hours of free streaming Olympic action.You will likely miss out on the medal run of Women's Giant Slalom, but more important you will have the chance to watch Team USA Women's Hockey Team take on Team Canada in the gold medal game at 3:30 p.m. local time.  Neither side reached the gold medal game at the 2006 ...

Ndamukong Suh has become one of the most talked about draft prospects in the last decade who isn’t a quarterback.   Suh possesses an almost freakish combination of size and strength. Standing 6’4” and weighing in at 302 pounds, Suh is the kind of guy who commands everyone’s attention when he walks into a room or steps onto the field.   Suh’s ability to run through, around, and over opposing offensive lines has been well-documented elsewhere, so let’s focus ...

National signing day is over, and now we set in for the long haul awaiting the next College Football Season. So what do we do to occupy our time as Football fans? Other than the old standby of arguing how the BCS can be improved, and the playoffs, what is there to do? Making power rankings of course, for every single thing possible! With that in mind, here is my ranking for the Pac-10 Mascots. ...

Please SEC fans, I implore you—please forgive my transgressions against the elite, unmatched running backs from your sacred, mighty, and impeccable conference. I have seen the light! I have been baptized in SEC holy water, and I now repent my sins (my previous top 10 running backs for 2010 article linked above) as I present to you my new and improved, and SEC approved, top 25 running backs in the nation ranking—which by the way, also inadvertently ...

It might be prudent to wait a little longer before ranking the college football recruiting classes for 2011. After all, there will be decommitments, recommitments, and torrid one-night stands (I'm looking at you, Matt Elam). There will be massive hauls on Junior Day and months that go by without a peep. Breakout juniors will get bum knees and drop out of the rankings. Middle linebackers with interest from Bowling Green and Montana State will grow two inches ...

In one of the strangest scheduling ideas since moving the Glee premiere to early April, Duke is taking a break from their strenuous ACC schedule to play Tulsa at home. Tulsa has been under the radar the whole season and is currently in a three-game slide, making its NCAA hopes disappear. In the Golden Hurricane's favor, they do have two out of conference wins against Big 12 teams, including bubble team Oklahoma State. Tulsa's problem the past three ...

Two BCS football conferences are looking to expand, and vultures from the Big Ten and Pac-10 are looking to pick apart the Big 12.  Rumors have been swirling around the Big 12 for the last few weeks.  The Pac-10 is interested in the University of Colorado, and they need to add two schools to be able to play a conference championship game.  And a championship game means more money for the entire conference.     The Buffaloes ...
