ESPN polled 85 FBS players from around the country for a feature in the next ESPN the Magazine. It can also be found online, but you’ll need a subscription to view it. There were a few interesting items in the article relating to the Pac-10 and Oregon. The most overrated team in the nation according [...]

The Steve Sarkisian Era Starts in the Bottom 10
Because I’m all about rankling anyone with a purple and gold allegiance (Lakers and Huskies, just bad colors all around), I don’t mind sharing that the Washington Huskies remain firmly planted in ESPN’s Bottom 10.
