This is also the time of my early adulthood, when I used to gamble on sports. It was during this era I learned of the "East Coast press bias" and how it favored the Big 10. It still exists today. It won't forever though. If you gamble, you can use bias in your favor, especially when you bet against local teams. Example: in the 1980 SuperBowl the Rams were 13.5 point underdogs against the Steelers if you bet in Pittsburgh, and 9.5 down if you bet in LA. Final score was 31-19. Where you lived and how you bet made the difference. Also, it depended on how reliable your bookie was.

I read an article this weekend on SI or E$PN (can't remember) that said 75% of the voters in the AP poll were in B10 and BEast states.

thanks for posting that. when those guys die off they should be replaced with writers from the south and the west, which is indicative of where the population and the talent lives.

I read somewhere that 97.5% of college football analysts had USC beating Stanford last year.

Stop crying about the ing rankings. If USC had beaten Stanford last year, they would have played for the NT.

Oh it's true. It's damn true.

if SC wants to drop 70 on osu, they will...and there isn't a damn thing the beavers can do about it.

We got our asses kicked- our O-Line sucks ass. It's not Boeckman or whoever, it's our line, and has been the last 3 big games we were in. I had a goodtime though, and I won $500 in Vegas so I guess the whole trip turned out alright. I will say that the drive from Vegas to LA sucks ass and get boring after about 3 minutes. Also, LA is a nice place, but the smog driving into it was pretty nasty. I saw a Bugatti too, and Greg Oden. I also saw AC Slater at the Palms Sunday- which who I am taller than, so I got that going for me.

You only went to the nice areas. Places I've never even been to.
