Jackson is in the drivers seat but its still early. 2. I am not surprised that Louisville whacked Florida State. Both Charlie Strong and Bobby Petrino are tremendous recruiters. Petrino gets as much talent out of Florida as Jimbo…

Week two is upon us and there are already some key games on the docket. Here are my thoughts on each game and a predicted winner. Cincinnati Bengals at Pittsburgh Steelers: We already know that is one of the fiercest rivalries in all of football. Lets get down to who wins it. I like Pittsburgh.
