For Tigers, Time Is Now

I will go ahead and say it in this opening sentence: I picked VT to win this game. Yes, in our weekly contest of 15 games, I took the Hokies. But deep down, in the bottom of my heart, I feel I may have chosen unwisely. Gameday is here, and all of the sudden I am seeing everything in orange. No, not orange accompanied with maroon, but orange accompanied with purple. My mind is telling me to stick with my pick of the Hokies, but my heart is telling me this year's Clemson team is different. But, even if the Tigers are different, winning in Blacksburg is still a tough task...

Wanted: Jim Harbaugh

Stanford, 40, Virginia Tech 12. With their convincing win over the Hokies of VT in the Orange Bowl, Stanford and Head Coach Jim Harbaugh proved they are a true, legit top-5 team this season. The Cardinal were a well-oiled machine in 2010, and this was due to the attention to detail provided by Harbaugh. Now, the coach who just turned in the best season in school history will be courted by other teams in other cities, and even in another league. The NFL is calling from a couple of different angles for this talented coach. And the NFL isn't the only place you will find his name swirling around. Even without an opening for the head coach position at this time, some feel Michigan - Harbaugh's alma mater - may also be calling his name.

Pick'em and Poll

With a killer Monday night game this evening, the Fans25 top 25 poll for week two will come out on Tuesday morning this week rather than today. Third ranked Boise State will tangle with tenth ranked Virginia Tech from Landover, Maryland at 8:00 tonight on ESPN. That game will have such an impact on the poll, that it would be best to release it in the morning...Also, be sure to get your picks in for week two! I am 13-0 so far this week, with two games today. Two other Fans25 pickers - LEO and Bubt - are also at 13-0. Two-time defending champ 92CitadelGrad is off to a good start at 10-3, and will certainly be a factor again in 2010.
