College football is back, and the clock is ticking toward the official kickoff on Thursday night. To get you prepared, we got together the SB Nation Pac-10 sites to provide our input on this upcoming season. ...

According to those same sources, the current "lean" — and that’s all it is right now — is to split the league in a North/South manner with all four California schools together in the South with the Arizonas. When I expressed mild surprise ("The Northwest schools are OK with that?"), the response I got was: Expect to see major scheduling concessions for schools in the North and perhaps even changes in the TV revenue distribution.

Maybe, as the Pac-10 embarks on its final season before adding Utah and Colorado, the stereotype still fits.

When he suspended Baxter, Kiffin acknowledged that the San Diego native is "potentially the most talented player on the team." Kiffin is correct about that; when Baxter does get on the field, jaws will drop.

Name the college coach for whom you have the least regard. No big surprise, either that most coaches wouldn't touch this, or that three who did named Lane Kiffin of USC. Only three others got a single mention — Brian Kelly of Notre Dame, Nick Saban of Alabama and Mike Locksley of New Mexico.

First I was pissed, then I wasn't

What kind of scheduling concessions could there be?
I don’t really get the options there. But the TV revenue distribution would be very nice.

Extra games in LA.
Definitely have to like the CASH MONEY.

We gonna be rich!
Yeah, I’m guessing there will be side deals like the NW schools get X number of games in California each year. Also, $$$$$$$$
How does that work?
The only way to get more games in L.A. would be either to not have 5 intradivision games, thereby opening up another game for an interdivision game, or not scheduling true home and homes with the North teams. For example we would visit USC 3 of every 5 matchups. However, both of these create big problems when you try to balance out the schedule in other ways. I just don’t get how it’s possible.

You can guarantee there will be some funky scheduling.
It will be the only way to compromise.

Vince is not happy with that 2-deep that released yesterday.
I will say there was a two-deep floating around the web yesterday that was rife with mistakes, as far as I can tell. The official one will be out today and it will look nearly identical to the ones we’ve been running each day with our position previews. It’s not rocket surgery. You watch practice, keep track of who runs out when the ones are called, when the twos are called and check off the injured players. If there is a change from day-to-day, you note it. It’s that simple.
BURN.

Ted Miller likes Brandon Rankin.
Newcomer of the year (defense): Brandon Rankin, DT, Washington State
We hate to interrupt your mocking of Washington State, but Rankin, a JC transfer who stuck with the Cougars despite an offer from Alabama, is going to be a force on a surprisingly stout D-line.

Cougar Calls with Bill Moos
Is this working for anyone? It worked for me for the first 10 minutes or so but can’t get connected again. Overloaded?
People called in expecting a Cougar party chat line.

Not much info from the show is what your telling me?
That’s pretty much how the first two calls went.

I didn't get to hear it
The title of the segment is just funny to me.

Sounds like it should be on the Outdoor channel

Depth chart for Ok State game relseased
A couple of notable things I caught.
—True freshman Deon Bucannon listed as the #2 SS. Apparently both he and Casey Locker have passed up Jamal Atofau.
—Four true freshman listed on the offense/defense 2-deep. Galvin and Furney make the special teams two deeps.
—Aire Justin is not listed as one of the top 4 CB’s. He was running with the 1’s pre-injury so either guys passed him or he doesn’t look to be healthly for week one.

Think it's a bit of both on Justin
I’ll be breaking down the roster in a minute.
