The Big Ten season is over and it's a long, long wait until Bowl Championship Series bids get doled out Dec. 6. The wait may be particularly stressful for No. 12 Penn State. The Nittany Lions (10-2, 6-2) closed out the regular season Saturday with a convincing 42-14 win at Michigan State.

Beat my grandma: Week 12 college football picks

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:32:23 +0000

Dave Curtis The Week 12 slate for Grams looks curious because of who didn't make the cut. No Florida, Alabama or Texas. No Ohio State-Michigan. No forecast on the future of Notre Done (more on this later). Go ahead and insert an "every week is a playoff" joke here. With the top 10 on furlough from national prominence, Grams considered a bye week here in November. "Got to rest up for Thanksgiving," she said. Don't despair, Grams. Somehow, five compelling contests emerged. Penn State looks to upgrade its Florida bowl trip (Orange trumps Capital One). Bill Snyder goes championship-hunting in Lincoln. The Big Game is, well, a big game. Here are the big five, straight up: No. 13 Penn State at Michigan State, 3:30 p.m., ABC The Skinny: As Grams gains steam down the stretch (that 1-4 week looks like an aberration), she's thinking JoePa and his boys might be losing it.

Three Pointers: Early tests helping top contenders

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:30:47 +0000

Sporting News' Mike DeCourcy analyzes what Wednesday's buzz means to college basketball. Self awareness Lots of writers mocked Kentucky coach John Calipari for claiming he was "ecstatic" about his team falling behind by 18 points. (Hey, I'm sure it was all in good fun, right?) But Kansas affirmed Calipari's point that there is nothing better for a highly rated team in November than a near-death experience. Looking at KU's schedule in October, before anyone had bounced a ball, it was hard to find an occasion when it appeared Bill Self's Jayhawks would be challenged, let alone beaten. The Jayhawks aren't playing in any Maui Invitational or Paradise Jam-type tournaments. And they aren't playing much away from home before New Year's. They go to Los Angeles for a Dec. 6 game against UCLA, but the Bruins are rebuilding. They play La Salle in Kansas City, which is just home with a short bus trip included. But feisty Memphis rose up Tuesday night and pushed the Jayhawks all the way to ...

College basketball teams get early chance to prove they belong among elite

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:46:31 +0000

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Michigan State proved it has the depth of a champion, and Gonzaga showed it's not in any hurry to decline as the Spartans were forced to rally for a 75-71 victory Tuesday at the Breslin Center. Here are four more games in the next week that'll tell us more about how legitimate some of the nation's ranked teams are—and who might eventually be joining them. Gani Lawal and Georgia Tech can start proving they're worthy of being ranked this week. Georgia Tech vs. Dayton, Thursday 11:30 a.m., Puerto Rico Tip-Off What we need to know: Georgia Tech won just two ACC games last season but flew into the Top 25 when center Gani Lawal returned and elite recruit Derrick Favors joined him up front.

Izzo sees big things for Summers, if he can convince him

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 06:31:56 +0000

Tom Izzo: Summers "hasn't learned to play at a different level" for the Spartans. EAST LANSING , Mich. -- When Michigan State coach Tom Izzo talks about junior wing Durrell Summers, he brings such names as Jason Richardson and Morris Peterson into the conversation. That's the kind of talent we're talking about here, but it's OK if you don't recognize this, because even Summers occasionally needs to be convinced. "Sometimes I take plays off," he admitted. That has been the challenge for Izzo since Summers arrived on campus three years ago. It comes up in practices. It comes up in games. It comes up when the Spartans are watching video from practices and games. It'll come up when the Spartans review Tuesday's 75-71 victory over a Gonzaga, a game in which Summers scored 21 points on 8-of-9 shooting and grabbed 11 rebounds. Cut down to a series of highlights, it was a phenomenal performance, but Summers played 32 minutes. There ...
