What's happening as we get ready for another week of college football.

As Texas and Colt McCoy prepare for Missouri, their defense gets examined, especially how good their front four has been.

The state of Washington is really hurting as far as their two major college football teams go. UW and WSU are a combined 1-11. Ouch.

Speaking of bad, how on earth does Michigan fall so far so fast? It's almost incomprehensible.

So bad, in fact, that a website devoted to firing new coach Rich Rodriguezis already in the mix. We happen to love the clock that is counting down the time until Les Miles' contract with LSU expires.

Baylor will face some growing pains as they try to improve, but their schedule isn't easy. Their next four games are: at No. 8 Oklahoma State, at Nebraska, home against No. 11 Missouri, home against No. 1 Texas.

For whatever reason, SEC supporters continue to be paranoid that the Big 12 is overtaking them as best conference in the land. Even though it's impossible to quantify and means absolutely nothing.

Apparently, more contact in practice is going to help Tennessee to stop being a crap football team. A different coach might help in that regard as well.
