National Naysayer: Sept. 11, 2007

ACC expansion sure has worked out well. Miami and Virginia Tech, the jewels of the new 12-team league, were blasted in key non-league games last week. Florida State continues to struggle despite an influx of big money, big name assistants. Meanwhile, the Big East - now re energized by Louisville, West Virginia, Rutgers and South Florida - is right there with the SEC and Pac-10 as far as BCS conference rankings are concerned. ...

Wondering why Notre Dame and Michigan are off to historically bad starts? Just look at the defensive rankings. Then again, they are not getting much help from their offenses. ...

Looking for a darkhorse national title contender? If Arkansas gets past Alabama this Saturday, the Hogs should be 8-0 going into their game against South Carolina. They close with Tennessee, Mississippi State and LSU, a team Darren McFadden and co. pushed to the limits last season.
