what's hilarious to me is that there are numerous college football scandals. and all those guys come into the nfl at some point and we are just supposed to believe that there are no cheating scandals at this level. it's absurd.
There is a bit of a scandal right now with it having been revealed that USC has been underinflating game balls just a bit. The assumption that's been made is that this was due to Barkley having small hands. The underinflated balls make it easier for someone with smaller hands to grip the ball. If true, this is a significant red flag, one he may end up having in common with Claussen. The combine is going to be critical for Barkley. Now Tannehill's hands are a bit on the small side too, and he's doing pretty well with Miami. Teams are going to have to pay very close attention to Barkley, however.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
I would still take a chance on Barkley over starting Fitz another year.

the SEC has 6 of the top 9 teams in college football for a reason.
The league is loaded from top to bottom in O-line talent, and Defensive talent. There is nothing overrated about the SEC. The dominance of the SEC over the rest of college football is pretty real.
As to Alabama, they lost to another SEC team. In fact the last few years i think 'bama's only losses have been in conference. That's just how strong the conference is. This year the disparity is particularly bad.
My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.
MY WIFE SAID THAT!!!
anyone who says the SEC is overrated is either from the North, or doesn't follow college ball.
