TEAMS THAT COULD BREAK THE SEC'S BCS STREAK

NO. 3, OHIO STATE

Ohio State will be No. 2 in the preseason polls. Phil Steele projected that, and it seems like the most rational assumption. The Buckeyes went undefeated last year; they'll get the proper respect in the preseason polls.

The question of whether they are the best team to knock off the SEC in a title game this year, and whether they are better than every SEC team other than obvious preseason No. 1 Alabama, is debatable.

(USA Today Sports Images)There will be a lot of regret from many parties concerning the Jerry Sandusky scandal at Penn State for many years.

According to the Associated Press, Sue Paterno said she and husband Joe Paterno were ignorant about sexual predators and how they operate. They never realized Sandusky was using his charity to abuse boys.

"We have been unaware of how a predator behaves," Sue Paterno said at a program celebrating Child Abuse Awareness Month in Pennsylvania. "In many cases, we unknowingly helped him 'groom' his victims while we thought we were helping a child achieve self-esteem and find a better life."

Since finding out what happened, Sue Paterno painted a picture of a pained existence as the family come to grips with what happened and worried about the victims.

Webb, who started 10 games for the Buffaloes last season after graduating and transferring from Kansas, was one of four quarterbacks new coach Mike MacIntyre said had a chance to be the starting quarterback in the fall.

Webb injured his knee during a noncontact drill while making a routine cut. His knee gave out and he collapsed to the ground.
It was Webb’s first practice since injuring his surgically repaired throwing hand during the first week of spring practices. He had two surgeries on the hand in the winter.

“This is very sad for Jordan,” MacIntyre said. “We all feel for him. He was doing well in practice, competing again for the starting job, and for this to happen and to lose him for the season is just a shame.”

Former Notre Dame quarterback and five-star recruit Gunner Kiel has found a new home – Cincinnati.

Kiel, who recently visited Cincinnati, also had looked at Ball State, Miami-Ohio and was considering Mississippi, Mississippi State and Kansas State.

Kiel left Notre Dame after failing to play this past season. Even though coach Brian Kelly told Kiel he’d have an opportunity to compete for the starting role this spring, Kiel decided a change of environment was in his best interest.

(Instagram/baybeh_nat)Busted Coverage pointed out that Johnny Manziel went out for some fun on Tuesday night, and if social media tells us anything about it, he's living the life most red-blooded American men dream of.

This round of Johnny Football on social media won't create any controversy (he's not doing anything in the pictures we saw but smiling and hugging), unless there's some NCAA rule against taking fan pictures with pretty girls all night around College Station. A quick search of Instagram and Twitter finds a nice trail of how Manziel's night went:

Things are changing at Tulane.

The school is preparing for a move to the Big East in 2014, but before it does that, it’s getting some fresh helmets to join the uniform craze that’s been sweeping the country.

[Also: Oklahoma's Bob Stoops thinks players are already paid enough]

(USA Today Sports Images)The pay-for-play issue is a touchy one. We think the current system is outdated and almost completely favors the schools, who have made zero qualms about chasing every penny for themselves. That problem gets worse every year. But we do see both sides of the pay-for-play argument.

Bob Stoops does not. In an interview with The Sporting News, the Oklahoma coach blasts the idea of paying college football players.

“I tell my guys all the time,” Stoops told TSN, “you’re not the first one to spend a hungry Sunday without any money.”

Before we move on to the rest of his comments, here are a few interesting facts about Bob Stoops, all from the Tulsa World. His bonuses in the past year include $71,500 for playing in a non-BCS bowl (which Oklahoma lost), $55,000 for finishing in the Top 15 of the Bowl Championship Series standings and $88,000 for winning at least a share the Big 12 championship. That's $214,500 in bonuses alone. His salary escalated $200,000 on Jan. 1, as it does every year, and on June 1 he gets a $700,000 "stay bonus." The extension he signed in 2011 was for eight years and $39.4 million. He'll make $4.55 million in 2013.

Stoops, who stands on the sideline and watches his players collide against the opponent in a violent way every Saturday during the fall, says the $29,924.50 per year for out of state tuition, room and board and books is more than enough for the players. Stoops, whose biggest physical threat is pulling a hamstring while he jogs out on the field every Saturday, has a salary that pays him roughly $24,931.50 every two days, or a stone's throw from the value of what each of his players gets over a full year. His $700,000 bonus that he gets simply for not leaving Oklahoma is more than the value of what 23 of his players – basically his starting offense, defense with one guy left over to come off the bench – receive for a full year.

OK, now back to Stoops' rant to Sporting News about how college athletes shouldn't be paid.

TEAMS THAT COULD BREAK THE SEC'S BCS STREAK

NO. 4, THE BIG 12 CHAMP

This is, without question, a bit of a cop out. But the Big 12 is hard to figure out.

The conference should produce one top team capable of giving the SEC a run for the BCS title. It's just hard to single out one from what should be a very competitive Big 12.

Let's start with the biggest long shot first. Call us crazy, but we really like the way Baylor entered the offseason.
