Adam, Don't apologize to that Pac-10, Bruin Lovin' fan. He likes the Pac-10. Does it really matter what the tie-breaker of the worst conference in all of collegiate sports is? They could flip a coin or throw darts at all of the teams and the nation would even bat an eye.

Sorry about the tiebreaker error. I stand corrected.

Hey Adam (Pac-10 writer), There's this thing...it's called the Internet...you might want to consider using it for research before you post false information. In the case of a tie, the Pac-10's Rose Bowl representative is determined by the winner of the head-to-head match-up. Period. That's it. If there's a three-way (or more) tie and each team has equal records against the others, they go to a comparison system vs. the other teams in the conference. Only as a last resort is the "who hasn't been in the Rose Bowl the longest" rule applied. And that will never happen, especially now with the 9-game schedule in place. Check it out for yourself at pac-10.org

Least informative blog on sports I've ever seen. You guys don't know anything about football. Why keep trying??? Go back to flipping burgers.

Each week, there's at least one conference game that is absolutely unbearable to watch. I think I tricked myself into thinking it was worse than what it really was. Four field goals is far more boring than a touchdown, missed PAT, and two field goals.

Aw, you and your "facts" when it comes to my impeccable analogies.

Reader James Rishel alerted me of my screw up on the PSU/PU recap. I don't know what I was doing when I wrote that game up. I even watched the game; well, I flipped back and forth between the five 12:00 Big Ten games. Honestly, that game was the most boring of the five, so I spent the least amount of time with it. I was trying to finish my column before going to the Browns game and that's where my egregious error came to play. Here's what happened in real life, not in my head: PSU won with two field goals and a touchdown by Tony Hunt with a missed two point conversion.

When did Krispy Kreme start serving turnovers?
