Debating whether or not to talk about the NHL Winter Classic today or tomorrow. Find out if we talked about it today along with the other big stories[...]

Two years ago Toby Gerhart, now with the Minnesota Vikings then with the Stanford Cardinal, ran for over 200 yards on Notre Dame. The performance moved him up the Heisman Trophy pecking order, and he lost (by the slimmest margin of all time) to current member of the New Orleans Saints then member of the Alabama Crimson Tide Mark Ingram.

Thanks to their 9-6 win in the so-called ‘Game Of The Century’, the LSU Tigers are unsurprisingly the clear No. 1 team in the country in this week’s BCS rankings. Very few people who are not fans of the Alabama Crimson Tide are begging for a rematch in the National Championship game [...]

Seven weeks into the 2008 season, there were 13 undefeated FBS teams. Seven weeks into 2010: ten. 2009: nine. Hell, even in 2007, the oddest, craziest season in recent memory, there were 10 undefeated teams, just like there were this season.
