Notre Dame Finishes Regular Season Undefeated BCS Championship Opponent Could Come From SEC Championship Game Winner

Notre Dame, made a tremendous late goal line stand vs. USC this past Saturday. The defensive plays made against the run allowed the Fighting Irish to defeat the Trojans and preserve their undefeated season in Los Angeles. Thanks to Oregon and Kansas State both losing the previous weekend. Alabama will look to take advantage of their do over situation following their home loss vs. Texas A&M a few weeks ago. Georgia has a big chance to do something special themselves this upcoming Saturday inside the Georgia Dome. They could knock off the Tide who are the defending National Champions and send themselves to Miami for the BCS National Championship Game. The SEC could win the title once again this season. Nevertheless Notre Dame will have a say so to say the least about that. All eyes will be on this game as all roads lead to Atlanta on conference championship weekend.

Always Sunny In Philadelphia Sports : Ruiz Suspended - Jackson IR - Babin Released - Eagles Lose 7 In A Row - Bynum Knee - Flyers Strike

Tuesday Major League Baseball and the Philadelphia Phillies announced the suspension of Carlos Ruiz. Ruiz coming off a career 2012 season will miss the first 25 games of 2012 without pay, thanks to testing positive for Adderall a banned stimulant. This is coming off a 50 game suspension this past season of young infielder Freddy Galvis. Not to mention Philadelphia missing the playoffs for the first time since 2006. During the season key players like Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Cliff Lee, Roy Halladay and Ruiz spent time on the DL. Last night during Monday Night Football, Cam Newton of Carolina accounted for 4 touchdowns as the Panthers beat the Eagles. Philadelphia has loss 7 in a row after a 3-1 start, now are 3-8 and more than likely 14 year head coach Andy Reid is out the door after the season, possibly quarterback Michael Vick as well. Tuesday Reid released Jason Babin who sack production took a hit from 2011 to 2012 and most from the outside looking in didn't think the Pro Bowl defensive end was giving complete effort. Desean Jackson suffered a rib injury on Monday Night and is done for the season. The last we heard Bynum re injured his knees bowling recently, he has yet to suit up for the 76ers this season. Many wonder will he ever play for Philadelphia during the 2012-13 NBA season. Finally the Flyers, we haven't seen them since the spring during the playoffs. Since the NHL is on strike we may not see them this season. Philadelphia sports fans can't seem to catch a break.

Oregon and Kansas State Get Knocked Off By Stanford and Baylor

Alabama was knocked off at home two weeks ago at home vs. Texas A&M. That set up the stage for Oregon and Kansas State to be 1 and 2 respectively in the BCS, both teams run the table and they play for the National Title. But wait, it's not that simple. Pac 12 rival Stanford Cardinal posted an overtime road win over Oregon. Baylor took care of Kansas State at home in blowout fashion. Things changed in college football within 7 days ! Now Alabama regained life with those pair of loses, while  Notre Dame became number one in their magical season. But once again not so face Notre Dame travels west to play USC, minus Matt Barkley the senior quarterback will not start. Alabama will have to get through the SEC Championship Game. Let's not set Notre Dame and Alabama up in the BCS Championship Game just yet as we witnessed, anything could happen.

49ers Must Decide Colin Kaepernick or Alex Smith As Starting QB

My my my, what do we have here by the Bay ? Let's see...Alex Smith was knocked out two weeks ago during 49ers tie vs. St. Louis. 2nd year quarterback Colin Kaepernick stepped in this past week on Monday Night Football vs. Chicago. During the 49ers blowout victory in prime time the kid played well throwing for 3 touchdowns. If Smith is healthy enough to play in New Orleans on Sunday we he get the start ? Or will 2nd year head coach Jim Harbaugh go with Colin Kaepernick ? Harbaugh when asked about his potential decision, replied he'll go with the hot hand. The 49ers head to the Superdome 7-2-1 as they not only batte for the NFC Division title but maybe a first round bye with a 1st or 2nd seed. As we come down the stretch obviously Jim Harbaugh will have a tough decision to make going forward.

Lakers Weekend : Brown Out D'Antoni Not Jackson In !

Lakers began the weekend firing 2nd year head coach Mike Brown after the team started 1-4. Assistant coach Bernie Bickerstaff won two games over the weekend as interim coach. The Lakers are now 3-4. Sunday after speaking with former Lakers coach Phil Jackson and trying to work out travel arrangements, Jackson was stunned and maybe the rest of us where to as Los Angeles inked Mike D'Antoni to a 4 year contract. The former head coach of the Phoenix Suns and New York Knicks. By the way the Lakers face Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks on Christmas Day. Melo is rumored to be the reason why D'Antoni 'resigned' from the Knicks during the middle of last season. Mike D'Antoni was Kobe Bryant favorite player while playing in Italy the country where Bryant spent most of his childhood, as his father played overseas. Instead of Jackson's triangle offense expect up and down transition basketball on offense. When Steve Nash comes back from injury he'll be right at home reunited with the coach that helped him win a pair of NBA MVP awards while in Phoenix. The Lakers and their fans better hope this is the right move. Because for these veterans : Bryant, Nash, Howard, Gasol and World Peace the time is now to win a championship.

NFL Week 10 3 QB's Turned Into LL Cool J : Mama Said Knock You Out

Alex Smith, Michael Vick and Jay Cutler have 3 things in common after NFL Week 10. First San Francisco, Philadelphia and Chicago all played at home vs. St. Louis, Dallas and Houston. Second none of the home teams won their game, San Francisco missed a potential game winning field goal in overtime to end the game in a 24-24 tie, Philadelphia fell to 3-5 after a 38-23 loss to Dallas and Chicago on Sunday Night Football loss to Houston in a defensive struggle 13-6. Third thing these starting quarterbacks shared on Sunday, they were all knocked out of the game with concussions. As the week goes on and the doctors do all the necessary test a time table will be set for the availability of these players going forward next week and beyond.

QB Johnny Manziel Leads TexasA&M To Road Win Against #1 Alabama

Saturday November 10, 2012 Bryant - Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, AL was the site of something epic ! Redshirt freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel became a house hold name as he led the Aggies to a 29-24 upset victory over the Crimson Tide. With his impressive performance running and throwing the football as a duel threat, the Alabama defense were on their heels the entire day. College football experts have said Manziel has now entered the Heisman Trophy conversation with that signature win. Texas A&M is playing their first season in the SEC after leaving the Big 12. Coming into the game the Aggies were ranked 15th. The win could have also set up a possible BCS at large bid for Texas A&M if they can run the rest of the table. Alabama was looking for back to back National Championships and the 5th year in a row the SEC could have won the title. Alabama dream isn't dead, they'll have to win out and probably need 2 of 3 schools to lose : Oregon now ranked 1, Kansas State now ranked 2 and Notre Dame. The Crimson Tide reached the title game last year as a one loss team, this year the competition is a little steep. Johnny Mania is here let the good times role as his family looks to trademark : 'Johnny Football'.

Knicks Hot Shooting To Start The Season Will Last For How Long

New York on Friday knocked off defending champion Heat at Madison Square Garden. Sunday during their afternoon game at Madison Square Garden they defeated the 76ers. Monday evening in Philadelphia during the 2nd game of a home and home they crushed the 76ers again. New York is playing excellent defense. I believe that can last for an entire 82 game season. However they have hit 10 plus threes in each game thus far. Their game vs. Miami highlighted their 3 point makes with 19 triples made. That's the concern I have, when you live by the jump shot, you die by the jump shot. It's all good when their going in. Once they aren't going in, things can turn quickly. Obviously Melo will continue to get his points, however can his supporting case continue to hit the 3 at this rate. They will be in every game as long as they continue to play defense like their currently playing defense

Bama Escapes LSU In Baton Rouge

College football fans, could you really ask for more when it comes to Alabama vs. LSU. The teams faced off in last season National Championship Game in New Orleans, LA. Alabama won the championship over LSU. Making up for their regular season loss to the Tigers. Saturday another instant classic as the Crimson Tide escaped potential disaster with a final minute touchdown. Tide quarterback A.J McCarron threw a simple screen pass which turned into the decisive score in a 21-17 victory. A cruising defeat for LSU and their fans at Tiger Stadium. For Alabama the dream is still for a chance to win back to back National Championships

Oregon & USC Turn LA Coliseum Into West Shootout

Wild Wild West, on Saturday a Pac 12 game in Los Angeles turned into an up and down the field shootout. 113 total points where scored during the Oregon and USC conference game. Oregon kept their potential National Championship dreams alive with a 62-51 road win. The Ducks remain undefeated, meanwhile the Trojans lost their 3rd conference game of the season. Obviously USC dream of  winning a title going into the season, won't present itself. Kenjon Barner racked up 325 yards running for Oregon and 5 touchdowns ! Matt Barkley threw for 303 yards and 3 touchdowns. Could their be a potential collision course of Oregon vs. Alabama in the BCS National Championship Game ? With the rest of the season coming down the stretch, along with Conference Championship Games, only time will tell.
