1. Duke Robinson (Oklahoma) Has a huge frame to go with long arms and solid athleticism. Very strong and powerful. Forces his will on the opposition. Tends to be a bit inconsistent, as his technique isn't quite perfected. Has a questionable work ethic. 2. Andy Levitre (Oregon State) Very tough and versatile. Excels in the run game. Has a lot of experience, and has played every position on the line-even tight end. Isn't quite as tall as most guards are, and has short ...Read More

Go Back to Round 1 Round 2 33. Detroit Lions - James Laurinaits, ILB, Ohio State After getting their franchise quarterback and tackle, it's time to beef up their defense. Laurinaits brings the athleticism, intangibles, and leadership they thought they were getting when they drafted Tedy Lehman years ago. Previous: Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois 34. New England Patriots (From Kansas City) - Louis Delmas, S, Western Michigan It's time for New England to find a quality replacement for Rodney Harrison. Delmas is the best safety ...Read More

Some love him, some hate him, some envy him, but you can’t argue with the fact that Urban Meyer is one heck of a program builder. Florida was crowned BCS national champion last night with their 24-14 victory over Oklahoma, and as expected, the Gators finished #1 in the AP poll today, getting 48 first-place votes to top the poll. But, he’s got to feel pretty good about the fact that his old school is right below him ...Read More

There’s a trio of bowl games on tap for today, and the offenses stand to take the lion’s share of the headlines. First up is the Humanitarian Bowl this afternoon, where Nevada will look to triumph over ACC foe Maryland on WAC rival Boise State’s home field. Tonight in Houston, you’ve got two of the best signal-callers in the country facing off in the Texas Bowl. However, the headliner of today’s slate is the 31st edition of ...Read More

There was a small chance that the BCS could’ve went a little nutty and spit out an Oklahoma-Texas rematch for the national championship, but after the coaches’ poll revealed Oklahoma and Florida to be 1-2, there was little surprise as to who would be playing for the national title. Of course, even Urban Meyer probably couldn’t rest easy until he saw the matchup pop up on the screen, but Florida will indeed be taking on Oklahoma for the national ...Read More

This weekend’s college football schedule was pretty light, but there was no shortage of action. There weren’t any earth-shattering upsets, which is why the top half of the new polls are mostly intact heading into next weekend, which will see several big games (Oklahoma-Texas Tech, Penn State-Michigan State, Cincinnati-Pittsburgh, Central Michigan-Ball State). I’ll leave the recap of Florida’s latest demolition to our resident Gator, but I will cover several of the other notable headlines from the last few ...Read More

If you’re a ranked team, and you’ve got a potentially dangerous Thursday night game left on your schedule this season, you should probably start doing all you can to petition to have your game moved. It’s been a season full of upsets so far, but little ol’ Thursday night has kicked off the upset specials in several weeks. Last night, #9 BYU saw their BCS hopes come crashing down, as they ran into TCU’s defensive wall and limped ...Read More

The Shuffle certainly has an appropriate name this week, doesn't it? Instead of doing the usual Saturday Shuffle tonight, I thought I’d devote tonight’s shuffle to all of the shuffling and shaking up that there’ll be in the upcoming polls thanks to an upset-filled week to cap September. Every college football season, there seems to be a week where things are just downright crazy. Maybe we got that day out of the way this week, but if there ...Read More

It's actually not Friday anymore (not here, at least), but I'm getting this out a little later than I'd planned to since Friday was a busy day. Because there's not enough time for me to always go through every headline and interesting story I come across in short order, I thought it'd be a good idea to save up a few that I don't get to for a little end-of-week recap. So, without wasting much more of your ...Read More

So much for USC being the undisputed best team in the country, eh? For the second straight time, USC went into Corvallis, fell behind big, rallied, and came up short as the top-ranked Trojans fell 27-21 to Oregon St., a repeat of their 33-31 loss two years ago. In 2006, USC fell behind 33-10 in the third quarter before drawing with 33-31 and then missing on a two-point conversion that would’ve sent it overtime. This time around, the ...Read More
