I wonder if this guy is on crack half the time.

Coach Of The Year
1. Jim Grobe, Wake Forest (25). The Demon Deacons have never won 10 games before. Doing it after early-season injuries took out the leading returning passer and rusher makes this season simply sublime.
2. Greg Schiano, Rutgers (26). The other previously incomprehensible miracle. You're not supposed to be 10-1 at Rutgers. Under any circumstance other than dropping to I-AA. Yet here the Scarlet Knights are, playing Saturday for the Big East title and a BCS bowl bid.
3. Pete Carroll, USC (27). Yeah, Jim Tressel had to replace nine defensive starters. But Carroll had to replace two Heisman winners in the same backfield. Guess he's done a decent job if it, given the Trojans' 10-1 record and inside track to facing Ohio State in the national title game.
Ok, leave Stoops off your list even though he is on almost everyone elses
Underachieving Conference Of The Year
ACC (30), in a tight battle with the Big 12. Three head coaches and one high-profile offensive coordinator fired or forced out so far. That should tell you what kind of year it was in the ACC.
Ok, so let me get this right. The Big XII sucks...Ok, fine then what of the Pac-10? The Big XII has 7 teams over .500, pac ten 5. The records of those teams you might ask?
Big XII
10-2 Oklahoma
9-3 Texas
9-3 Nebish
9-3 A&M
8-4 Mizzou
7-5 K-state
7-5 Tech
Pac 10
10-1 USC
8-3 Cal
8-4 Oregon State
7-5 Horegon
7-5 Arizona State
As an added note, the Pac-10 also has a team with ONE win this season! Yup, another down year for the Big XII and one more spectacular year for them Pac-10 boys :rolleyes:
