Michigan State fans like detroittim8 are still jumping up and down after their win over in-state rival Michigan last week.
Meanwhile, Florida State fans are hopping for another reason: lack of success.
"I have a ton of respect for Bobby Bowden," writes ryanvcu. "He is one of the greatest coaches ever. However I do feel at the end of the year he should hang it up."
The discussion, spurred in part by rumblings among the university's leadership, includes plenty of people who believe Bowden's legacy speaks for itself.
"The only expert qualified to comment the worthiness of Bobby Bowden's future as coach also has two names that begin with 'B', and the last time I checked he traded his hound's tooth hat for a halo," writes joe.t.elkins.
The Seminoles could quiet critics for at least a week with a win against Georgia Tech.

“Jimmy Clausen has Heisman numbers so far, and he still has some winning to be done. He plays a pro-style offense.

“In the end LSU will not be able to keep up with the machine that is Florida. Tebow or no Tebow their running game isn't going anywhere and Brantley will make the throws necessary to win.

“This is the "The One Point Season" that needs to be the wake up call for this coaching staff. I am not optimistic but I hope Bob Stoops can acknowledge the situation and make the coaching style changes needed to fix this issue.

ESPN.com's college football writers and bloggers will be going conference by conference in the coming weeks to preview the season ahead, and we're looking for your rankings along the way. Things continue with the SEC, where after looking at the SEC East last week, blogger Chris Low has five things to watch in an SEC West race that could be Mississippi's to control.
1. Jevean Snead's blind side
2. Running to glory
3. Julio's high-wire act
4. Hail to the Chief
5. High on the Hogs
Intrigued? Check out Low's blog for the full story on each point.
ESPN.com's college football writers and bloggers will be going conference by conference in the coming weeks to preview the season ahead, and we're looking for your rankings along the way. Things roll on with the SEC, where blogger Chris Low's rankings include a very familiar name at the head of the class, but a program on the move rising to second place.
1. Florida
2. Ole Miss
3. Alabama
4. LSU
5. Georgia
6. Arkansas
Check out Low's complete SEC rankings.
Pat Forde calls it a "live-action game of Clue" in the SEC. Nick Saban says anyone should be free to vote as he chooses, but while he has you, he'd like you to know he voted for the guy from Florida. And we're just wondering who the coach was who voted for Pat Buchanan.
It's SEC all-conference voting drama, and it's ... well, fantastic probably isn't the right word. But it's football talk in the dog days of July. Sort of.
All of the controversy rages because a conference coach dared vote for Mississippi's Jevan Snead ahead of Florida's Tim Tebow for the All-SEC team. Now, Snead beat Tebow in Gainesville last season, and Mel Kiper recently offered in chat that Snead is on par with Colt McCoy and Sam Bradford as an NFL prospect. But for all of that, SportsNation sides with the outrage.
Edit (10:45 ET): And if this was a game of Clue, apparently it would be Steve Spurrier with the visor in the coach's office, as SEC blogger Chris Low recounts. Now we can all move on to matters of more import; like which Starbucks barista intentionally left the vanilla out of Tim Tebow's latte.
- Voters say there's no reasonable argument to vote for Snead.
- And it's not just college; the 'Nation says Tebow has a brighter NFL future.
- So which coach did it? Voters thought it was Spurrier all along.
- Groups: Southeastern Conference | 100% SEC | ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE
“I agree with Cowherd on this one, if Snead beat Tebow head to head with inferior talent in the Swamp, why wouldn't you put him ahead of Tebow? I understand that Gator fans love him, and other SEC teams fans' piggyback on him (which is really the only conference where that happens), but seriously, I could have quarterbacked the Gators to a title. Now if there was an all-conference team for good-guy athletes, sure put him at the front. I don't see this as a big deal, someone didn't suck up to Tebow for the first time in 2 years.

“Boo hoo, somebody didn't vote for Tim Tebow, he's God and you should all worship him, how dare you not vote for him!!!! Seriously, it's the Preseason, why should anyone care? Tebow himself hardly even cares.
