Mark Viera, Washington Post: Brandon Kennedy has put it all on the line in an attempt to bring a playoff to college football. He has moved from his home state of Washington to Washington D.C. and has lived homeless for the past 13 weeks as he lobbies for change. He has drafted a paper, "The Kennedy Proposal," that outlines the new system, and by his estimate has sent more than 15,000 emails and letters to college athletic conference commissioners, athletic directors and NCAA officials over the past year. With video.
Bob Wieneke, South Bend Tribune: Notre Dame backup quarterback Nate Montana, the son of former Irish great Joe Montana, has enrolled at Pasadena City College. "I'm going there with the intention of getting playing time and then returning to Notre Dame in the spring to join back up with the team and compete again for the job," Montana said.
Gene Frenette, Florida Times-Union: Blogger Clay Travis was out of line asking Tim Tebow if he was saving himself sexually for marriage.
Eric Crawford, Louisville Courier-Journal: There has been a lot of debate about whether Travis' question was appropriate. But having read his rationale for asking it, the question was not out of bounds.
Ron Morris, Columbia State: Steve Spurrier's omission — and that of
his assistant Jamie Speronis — of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow from
the first-team ballot all-SEC team merely exposed the fallacy of preseason teams. They are silly. They are meaningless. They should be abolished, or at least never be given credence.
Berry Tramel, Oklahoman: Not even Spurrier, as plain-spoken of a coach as we've got in the sport, has the courage of his convictions. He either wussed out and found a scapegoat or didn't care enough in the first place what was attributed to his name.
Dennis Dodd, CBS Sports.com: Spurrier's fraudulent SEC vote makes a fraud of the coaches poll, too.
