Their GSR of 71 percent is second in our poll

However, by the end of the season there they are, right in the middle of a BCS Bowl and a top 10 ranking.Jim Tressel's Ohio State crew has been right in the middle six times in the last seven years.In addition, they have 20 players on NFL rosters right now and are also getting it done in the classroom, with a GSR of 62 percent.These numbers are good enough for yet another appearance in a top 10 ranking; this time at No 6.. As impressive as Urban Meyer and Florida's success on the football field has been, their numbers in the classroom are even better.Florida's GSR of 69 percent is good enough for third in our rankings.This effort, combined with two appearances in the top 10 and 18 players on NFL rosters, gives them an overall score of 89 and a No. While Stafon Johnson's story this year was inspirational, the Trojans effort in academics is not.Their 58 percent GSR is the sixth worst in our poll.However, Pete Carroll's club more than makes up for it on the field.25 players currently hold roster spots in the NFL and from 2002-2008, USC has been in the final BCS ranking's top 10 every single year.Their cumulative score of 90 is good for fourth.. The Hokies aren't chickens when it comes to "hitting the books."Their GSR of 71 percent is second in our poll.They haven't been slouches on the football field, either.Four appearances in the final BCS rankings from 2002-2008 and 16 players currently on NFL rosters tells us that.Virginia Tech's overall score of 91 puts them at No 3.. Les Miles and the LSU Tigers have a lot to be proud of.Their GSR of 60 percent is 15 and 11 points higher than OU and Texas, respectively...and when your recruiting area encompasses much of the same area, you'll take any advantage you can get.Neither do they have to make apologies regarding their athletic success.Four appearances in the final BCS rankings and 30 players on current NFL rosters is enough to get anyone's attention.The Tiger's overall score of 94 is good enough for No 2.. Randy Shannon and the University of Miami have come a long way from their days as "The U." With three national championships during those "glory" years of the 80's, many would argue that there was never anything wrong in the first place...and I understand; winning means a lot.However, the reputation of students staying out of trouble, going to class, AND winning on the football field means much more, and the 'Canes have done just that.Their GSR of 75 percent is outstanding and when you add that great number to 31 players in the NFL and three appearances in the final BCS rankings you get exactly what this great institution deserves; an overall score of 109 and a ranking in our poll at No 1..

Yesterday was a crazy day in baseball with a flurry of moves happening. The Yankees lost their World Series MVP to the Anaheim Angels.

Where do the Yankees go from here, well they are the World Series Champs so they presumably have the least amount of work to do. I honestly think at this point that he does come back to the Yankees for their price because I don't think anyone is going to give him 3 yrs and not for that much money, maybe they settle on 2 yrs and 24 million. I think if Damon comes back the Yankees don't need to go out and get a DH as he and Posada can share the duties along with A-rod/Jeter/Tex a little bit of the time.The Yankees would like to get another pitcher and I think they will, maybe Ben Sheets or Joel Pineiro or someone like that.I think ultimatley they would like to do that and have Phil Hughes be the 5th starter with Joba going back to being the main setup guy.If the Yankees bullpen is Mo, Joba, Marte and Robertson that is very solid with Aceves, Mitre or Gaudin as long man possibilities. The Cuban defector Aroldis Chapman threw a bullpen todayfor all the teams that wanted to see him.There were representatives from just about every team.I am not sure if he will be ready this year, I doubt it but he may be worth signing and giving some minor league experience before bringing him to the majors and maybe he will be a impact pitcher.He throws very very hard and anyone coming out of Cuba has dealt with pressure.I think the Yankees may be in on him but it depends on the price.The Red Sox and Mets are also considering him.
