I had read the same, but today I saw a report that it was PED linked. I didn't save it or I'd pull it up for you.

Maybe that report was erroneous, but even if it wasn't, it wouldn't matter. Nothing will happen.
Now being reported as NCAA violations.
And nothing will happen.

I think we can all agree that Auburn's 63 to 14 (56-7 at the half) shellacking of Purdue is a proxy for all of the SEC and Big Ten :)

ESPN's announcers sure want you to think that.

Auburn's coach was fighting for his job. That was not discussed.

I’m betting conference championships mean something again after this year.

How about Florida over Big Ten's best team? :P

At any rate, can we all agree to stop inviting UND to this stuff?

That'd work a lot better if OSU didn't blow them off the field and wasn't the conference champ.

Harbaugh gives the exact same speech he's given the past two years.

As an OSU fan, I hope Harbaugh stays forever.

Meanwhile, Oklahoma is out here rubbing more egg on the committee's face.

At this point, let's just invite Clemson + Bama each year. Or have a 16 team playoff to then decide who gets to play those 2 teams.

That's what happens when the entire system is rigged to benefit one conference and its patsy.

Richt retiring.

This is shocking and there has to be something more to it. Health issues?

Side story: Manny Diaz, Miami DC, leaves Miami 19 days ago to be Temple's new HC. Now, he's gone back to Miami to be their HC.

UCF's streak ends, and PSU is getting embarrassed by Kentucky. I'm know it's only 3 points, but any loss to Kentucky is still embarrassing until they've been good a while .

UCF got beat by an OSU QB. :D And to be fair, UCF played LSU better than Georgia did.

PSU's QB < Kentucky's QB.

I was shocked that Iowa scored as many as they did. Big win for them.

tOSU stealing a coach from OSU.

Chahka Khan was the grand marshall of the Rose Bowl parade?

Georgia looks like a two loss team without a conference championship.

Purdue's super fan dies. That sucks.

Urban's wife wants him done with coaching. I think she'll be happy because he's clearly being groomed for Gene Smith's job.

Tickets for the championship game are now available for just $135 on the secondary market, according to TicketIQ, less than half of what the price was before the semifinals and well below the face-value price of $475.
Nice thing about NFL playoff games, someone's at home.

I hope secondary ticket sellers are losing their ass on it. Fuck them.
