That was my next question

Did you get signed up? Rem it's weekly so if you miss out this week there's still another 14 chances to win

Pitt and syracuse have just applied to join the ACC. The consolidation of college into the ACC, SEC, Pac12+ more and BigTen+more is afoot.

Bad news for the Big East - I wonder if they'll try and get a few mid-west schools, the likes of Kansaa and Kentucky to join. What chances Notre Dame deciding to join that football conference? Is it more profitable for them to be an independent?

Yeah I'm not happy about it, I love the Big East basketball league. Kentucky won't leave the SEC and Kansas would be a long shot..............this conference realignment is really like a domino effect when colleges start to leave conferences it triggers others to do likewise in a "run to the lifeboats" type way. Everyone is scared of being stuck in a declining, weak and therefore less lucrative conference.

I think it is more profitable for Notre Dame to remain independent cos they get have their own TV contract which they don't have to share with anybody. More than likely I can see Notre Dame ending up in the Big 10 though, geographically it just makes sense.

**Gatecrasher** · 17-09-2011 05:49 PM

so, why is everyone leaving the Big East?

Its not really a powerhouse football conference (only 9 teams from the Big East field a football team) and football is by far the bigger of the 2 college sports (more than basketball). Then, there is a precedent for this: Miami and Virginia Tech defected to the ACC in the mid 2000's.

Like I said its like a domino effect, once one college looks like leaving the others start to worry about what moves they will have to make lest they end up in a declining or weak conference. We've seen that this summer with Colorado and Nebraska leaving the Big 12 whcih caused Texas AM to apply to join the SEC.

If I were a betting man I'd say that the Big East and Big 12 are living on borrowed time.

**Gatecrasher** · 17-09-2011 06:17 PM

So what do you think the future holds then? I have heard super conferences mentioned. Some presenters on ESPN have also mentioned NFL style play offs in the near future

**CFC** · 17-09-2011 06:30 PM

Agree re: super conferences, they will be ACC, SEC, Big10 and Pac12.

**CFC** · 17-09-2011 06:58 PM

Michigan now 3-0, I know TSSF is happy.

**Gatecrasher** · 17-09-2011 07:20 PM

I thought Tennessee would give the Gators more of a game than this. TBF Florida look decent

**CFC** · 17-09-2011 09:49 PM

And with that tennsessee throw an interception

Their opening 5 games are a given and they should go 5-0 easy.

Jets are kicking ***. Already 9 points up. Playing in the old Titans jersey's as well which is nice

**Gatecrasher** · 18-09-2011 05:38 PM

Cam Newton is killing us

**DH1875** · 18-09-2011 05:50 PM

Not good. Mangold's picked up an injury. Looks like he's out the rest of the game. Hope he's gonna be fit for next week. Best centre in the league.

Holy **** this kids looking the real deal! Out the house at the moment so relying on ESPN and Adam Schefter's tweets - he says Newton is lighting up the Packers.

DH - how's Greene looking? Hoping to make it home for the second half.

***Calvin*** · 18-09-2011 06:12 PM

So we're getting pumped and it seems we have no other response but to crock Roethlisberger. Still, I bet Charlie Batch manages to do okay.

We are throwing the ball again

. Greene is same old. Had a couple of carries, nothing special. Hunter is killing us at RT and Mangold has been out most of the game. Got a rookie playing centre. Been quite a poor game so far if I'm honest although the D looks like it could be getting back on track. 15-3 half time

.

Cool, cheers for the update! Just in time for the second half - here's hoping it's a good one!

they lost to appalachan state a few year back, never say never in college football

**DH1875** · 18-09-2011 08:06 PM

Nice easy win for the Jets there

. Jaguars have some real issuess regarding QB though. Hope Mangolds back for next week. Was good to see Brunell get a run out though and I still can't get use to seeing us play in blue even though I've got the jersey.

Best play of the game from us. Cam Newton ran the game for them, He threw about 4 interceptions but just kept coming back.

Any way a good Win and bring on the Bears
