ESPNRadio.com

  (12:02 PM)

No, sorry.

Ryan (Chicago)

The White Sox and USC are the chockers of the week. Anyone think there will be a bigger two upset as to what we witnessed last night.

Steve (Columbus)

Will the McRib make a comeback? Do you think Ohio State will make the Rose Bowl?

Cristiannn (Washington, DC)

Hey Herd, the Redskins will beat Dallas, trust me. You just hate the redskins. Admit it.

Neil (Gulf of Mexico)

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:03 PM)

Colin's making his NFL picks now -- be sure to vote against Colin in I Select It. You Reject It. Where will Colin go wrong this week?

Kortney Shane (Seattle)

Who thinks USC will drop out of the top 15 for losing to an unranked team

Bill (NJ)

If the McRib comes back, Domino's should bring back there twisty bread.

LENNY (MEMPHIS)

HERD WHAT BOUT GREEN BAY BEATING DALLAS? COME ON

Scott (SLC)

USC will drop to around 9 or 10

Maria (Texas)

USC won't drop out of the top five or top ten

MARK (ATL)

Notre Dame will not cover against Purdue.

Kevin (Wilkes Barre, PA)

USC will still be in the top 10

Steve (Columbus)

I say USC does not fall out of the top 10 because of there name

hometown homer (ATL)

PICK THE FALCONS

Clint (Parkersburg)

Naa, USC will drop to no lower than 10 in the polls

Sean (Tacoma)

Hey! It's All-CAPS guy!

Typical Overractive Fan (L.A.)

Fire Carroll he chokes every year forget about the fact theyll be 12-1 at years end and have won another BCS bowl game

Jason (KCMO)

The Chiefs will shock the broncos

Newt (Warner Robins)

USC....the best one loss team in the NATION. I'm thinking #10 depending on the games this weekend.

Dan (Joplin, MO)

Warner is going to throw it all over the Jets. Colin is wrong

Steve (Columbus)

Maybe SoCal should hire Tressel...

Big Al (Louisiana)

Pac 10 is SO over rated. SEC rules!

Mike (Boston)

the chiefs couldnt shock the rams

Al Davis (Oakland)

I hope Colin picks us

James (Boston)

Does the coach of the loser of the CLE-CIN game get fired immediately after? And is that a bad thing for that coach?

Fernando (Atlanta, GA)

Carolina will win

Carey Montz (Mandeville, LA)

Keep dreaming Jason

mrfantastic (atl)

we should have drafted joe flacco

Mighty Igor (SC)

Isn't that what USC has become? The best One loss team in the nation, year in and year out?

Eric (Cincinnati)

I'm a michigan fan, but take Wisconsin to cover IN ANN ARBOR.

Chuck (Los Angeles)

The 49ers will beat the Saints in a close offensive game.

Dan (Joplin, MO)

Imagine that, KC guy thinks the Chiefs will shock,?? the Broncons. HA!! Homer.

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:08 PM)

Colin's here!

Chuck (Los Angeles)

If Georgia also loses this weekend, who will drop further down? USC or Georgia?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:08 PM)

PRobably USC because Bama's better than Oregon STate. But you should win at home.

Dustin (Chester)

Why does Oregon St give USC so much trouble

Colin Cowherd

  (12:09 PM)

Mike Riley used to coach at USC. He's one of the great scheme coaches in college football. There's a reason he's won his last 5 bowl games. Give him alitle time. He's great.

James (Orlando)

Colin, DO you really think the Ravens with a rookie qb can go in pitt and win?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:09 PM)

Not really. But I'm going with Mark and Trey on this one.

D. Hill (St. Louis, MO)

Collin, is Penn State credible? They destroyed Oregon State

Colin Cowherd

  (12:10 PM)

I think they are. And I think they beat Illinois like a drum.

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:12 PM)

Back to the show! Brian Billick's on now!

Josh (Memphis, TN)

Your wrong about Steelers and Ravens. take the Steelers

Duane (Austin,TX)

USC is way too Hollywood. Up for Big games, down for conference games. Champions don't do that!!

Matt (Bossier City, LA)

Colin, I don't buy your USC is out of the title argument. In my opinion, if say LSU loses to Florida and Georgia they should still go ahead of a 1-loss USC team.

Steve (Columbus)

I agree take the Steelers

Kevin (Connecticut)

Hey Herd thanks for the half a second love for UCONN

Scott (SLC)

USC versus Penn State in the Rose Bowl, mark it down.

crazytnfaninlexky (lexington ky)

2nd biggest shocker of the week, VOLS over auburn

Donnie (Winston-Salem)

Tennessee is better than Oregon State.

G8R (Atlanta)

Florida + Oklahoma = National Championship

Bill (NJ)

tennessee can not beat auburn this year. they may not beat vandy

Bryan (Sewell, NJ)

DON'T take the Steelers with Mendenhall fumble-prone, an O-line that allowed 9 sacks last week. Take the Ravens.

Jenna (South Carolina)

I feel like USC could lose 3 or 4 games this season and would still be ranked above Georgia in the non-BCS polls... ridiculous.

Carey (Tampa)

Alamaba has a GREAT defense! They are going to SHUT down Georgia.

Jason (KCMO)

The buffalo bills will be the last remaining undefeated team in the NFL.

LENNY (MEMPHIS)

GEORGIA WINS EASILY. EVERYBODY SEE ALABAMA BEAT A SORRY ARKANSAS TEAM. GET OFF SABAN BANDWAGON

Chuck (Los Angeles)

Here's why most people in Los Angeles are not crying over the USC loss. The Dodgers are about to start their playoff run next week, and its still early in the college football season.

Kevin (Canada)

Colin, come up to Canada, the masquitos carry you away up here

Chris (Seattle)

Hey Colin I see last week's game on the I Select It page - what's up with that

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:18 PM)

We're fixing, sorry. Here's the link: http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/polling?event_id=3645

joe (columbus)

Both USC AND Ohio State are overrated...both lose again this year, no rose bowl

Bill (Willowbrook, ILLINOIS)

I'd rather watch Batman for the 100th time than tune into the Steelers Ravens game.

Hal (Fargo)

Colin. Come to Fargo. Mosquitos as big as the Elk I shoot and eat for supper.

Doosh (L.A.)

USC will be playing the best football in the country at the end of the year!

Jenna (South Carolina)

Georgia SHOULD win easily. But they haven't played anyone as good as Bama yet this season. Anyone know what Bama's D-line is like?

adam (nebraska)

Dynamic QB Playmaker is why Denver will contend this year. I really like Brian Billick as an analyst - he's really good.

Will (Montana)

Who are the crazy people who really think Washington can beat Dallas

Pete Carroll (Rose Bowl)

Usc is already playing the best football in the country LOL

Chris (Atlanta)

USC still has time to bounce back

Chad (Columbia, SC)

Please explain the "mysterious 1st hour" of your show?

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:21 PM)

It's mysterious....

Lance (Belvidere, NC)

Even though it is a rivalry, Dallas is going to roll

Dan (Joplin, MO)

Somebody this year will beat Dallas. I think Washington has as good as chance as anyone, maybe better.

James (Boston)

Chad, it's only aired on the west coast

Neil (Chucktown, SC)

Notre Dame is definitely not going to cover! Purdue is gonna "boiler up" and light up their pass offense!

Marty Shottenheimer (Tampa)

Bring me in Detroit, I'll fix your team

Scott (Baton Rouge)

USC has time to bounce back but nobody to do it against

Rob (MA)

No way, the Redskins? If anyone, my money is on Pittsburgh.

Brian (Tennessee)

I've never liked the Cowboys, but they have impressed me this year.

Kevin (Wilkes Barre, PA)

Dallas has some defensive holes

Carey (Louisiana)

Excellent point Scott.

Dan (Joplin, MO)

How long do you think it will be untill the Cowboys start falling apart with that coaching staff? They look good so far, but...

Mike (charleston, SC)

Moss Is gonna expose those holes in the dallas secondary.

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:24 PM)

Colin's here!

jd mac (st. louis, mo)

Colin, Will the Rams win one game this year? I think they may fulfill your dream of 0-16 like you asked for last Friday.

Colin Cowherd

  (12:25 PM)

I'll give them 1 at home.

Javier (Mission)

Collin do you think USC crushes everyone else on their schedule?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:25 PM)

Nope. But I think they'll win the rest of their games.

Brandon (Chicago)

Colin, now that Ohio State is starting Pryor, will they FINALLY open up the offense?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:25 PM)

Pryor will make it look like they're opening up the offense.

Tom (North Platte, NE)

Thoughts on VT v Nebraska Herd?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:26 PM)

No strong feelings either way.

James (Boston)

Colin, favorite sandwich?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:26 PM)

BLT

Maria (Texas)

Anyone have a chance in being undefeated for the BCS championship this year?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:26 PM)

Yeah, but I doubt it happens.

Bill (NJ)

Whats for lunch today?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:27 PM)

Beans, cottage cheese, pasta, chicken

Keith (State College)

How far do you think USC will fall in the polls?

Colin Cowherd

Probably No. 9

I'm glad USC didn't have two weeks to plan for us!

TMONEY (Ocean Springs MS)

Cottage cheese is very underrated

Slacker (@ work)

I actually believe Texas Tech will go undefeated this year.

Bama and Georgia should be great. Two high profile freshmen wide receivers. Julio Jones of Bama and AJ Green of Georgia.

Sure. You're not asking me a question. You're asking me an answer.

Joel (Cincinnati)

Seemingly Big 12 has best QBs and SEC has best defenses . Which is better to have?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:35 PM)

QB is everything. D-line is second.

Slacker (@ work)

Colin, why can't I ever get a promotion?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:36 PM)

Ask your roommate, rolls his own cigarrettes guy.

jason (boise)

Colin Cowherd

Meryl Streep and Diane Keaton? My grandma likes them too I think

Carey (New Orleans)

Nice to see James Gandolfini make an appearance in chat.

oldie (old job)

ESPNRadio.com

  (12:43 PM)

What's your question, oldie?

unknown (Narnia)

Do we have to think of clever names to get a question answered? I think my work has a filter to not let my question through!

Scott (SLC)

USC breaks my heart again, how can you have so much talent and not show up????

Bill (NJ)

I have officially as a Pats fan give up on Randy Moss in my fantasy league.

Mike (Charleston, SC)

Mark (LA)

Yes, playoff already

Dan (OBX, NC)

We need a playoff in College football

Francis (Charlotte)

BCS works maybe 3 years out of 4. You get the 1/2 teams. Tourney of 8 would be best.

Eric (Rockville)

Colin, I have Dallas, Arizona, Green Bay, New Orleans, Philly, and Seattle in the NFC playoffs. Giants just miss it based on their schedule.

Chris (SC)

Who is the best team in the ACC? Does Clemson have any shot to beat Wake?

7 and I think that's about what they'll win.

G8R (Atlanta)

Colin, how many games must the Falcons win to be successful this year? How many will they actually win?

Colin Cowherd

  (12:54 PM)

I find the Bears absolutely frustrating. Love them one week. Hate them the next.

Mike (Charleston, SC)

Colin Cowherd

  (12:54 PM)

Colin Cowherd

I still have jeans on. CAn't a collarred shirt be casual?

Lane Kiffin (Oakland, CA)
