The Rest of College Football

[Jamie H]

I think if losing an OOC game wouldn't kill your season, you would see big programs willing to do home-and-homes with other big programs. The recruiting benefits of playing big games that are hyped endlessly on TV might actually make it worth it. The big problem right now is that losing kills your title shot right off the bat and makes a whole lot of people mad.

Assign negative SoS points for any non-conference team you play that doesn't fall into the top 50 power rankings. I'd leave one exclusion so if your school wants to give a neighboring directional school a big payday, you aren't penalized.

Best bowl venue I've been to... Alamo bowl. Game is up next and it reminded me of the greatness that is the river walk.

Holy crap, RGIII with a truly Heisman worthy play to turn a sure sack into a 25 yard rushing TD. Amazing play.

[entropy]

He is a special player

Diggin the UW uni's; the white helmets are sharp

[Jamie H]

The only thing more amazing than RGIII has been just how horrible Baylor's defense is. Washington on pace to put up 70 points and over 800 yards.

[Wild Hoss]

Yeah, Baylor's defense is like playing against air. Amazing that there can be so much difference between two units of one team.

Tennessee wide receiver DeAnthony Arnett said Thursday he wants to be released to transfer closer to his ill father in Saginaw, Mich.

As a true freshman this season, Arnett had 24 catches for 242 yards and two touchdowns. He was one of the highest-rated prospects in coach Derek Dooley's 2011 recruiting class and was ranked in the ESPNU150.

"I want to play football but I NEED to be here for my Dad and with my family," Arnett said in an email to ESPN

Arnett said in the email that his father has had two heart attacks, dialysis and a series of surgeries.

In the email, Arnett said he is seeking a release to all schools in Michigan. He said Tennessee will release him to a Mid-American Conference school in Michigan, unless he wants to pay his own way to a Big Ten school.

"Coach Dooley, myself or anybody doesn't know what the future holds for my father," Arnett said in the email. "I feel that I represented the University of Tennessee the best way I can on and off the field and I feel I have earned the right to be released unconditional to all schools in Michigan."

He also pointed out that Tennessee does not have any Michigan teams on its current or future schedules.

A Tennessee spokesman said Arnett is not being denied the opportunity to be released and play FBS-level football. The school has a policy of not releasing players to schools Tennessee plays or recruits against, the spokesman said.

The Vols have a rising standout quarterback, Tyler Bray, and rising wide receivers Justin Hunter and Da'Rick Rogers returning next season.

Nebraska had the opposite problem 3 yrs ago

[Jamie H]

Sorry, I had my numbers wrong. While Washington IS on pace to get 70 points, they are only on pace to gain about 700 yards. I thought I heard they had 400 yards at halftime and that was inaccurate. They ARE close to 400 yards after the 80-yard TD bomb they started the 2nd half with.

[Jamie H]

Ok, I couldn't even get through this post without TWO more TD's being scored. Game is now 48-39. Ridiculous.

The latest rumor is that in honor of the all-offense, no-defense philosophy being employed by both teams in this game, the Alamo Bowl is going to be renamed the "Rich Rodriguez Bowl".

[Jamie H]

And now it's 49-46. This is going to be like Michigan-Illinois 2010, except they are going to get there without a bunch of OTs.

[Jamie H]

And now Baylor is up 53-49.

Combined yardage? 1,153 yards. And we are still in the 3rd quarter!!!

Price makes an incredible run. What an effort
