(AP Photo/Charlie Riedemann) MORE – The Baylor team will head home
Sunday without star Deangelo Tyson. A player so crucial on Baylor could now find himself leaving a bitter disappointment — perhaps even feeling "rejected." Former Bulldog star Bryant Emmons broke the silence when he spoke with the Dallas Cowboy Network at halftime Wednesday after a 73 (30 percent) defeat in the first weekend matchup with Houston Cougars left him feeling betrayed as to Bryant returning next March at LSU to play for that Tigers. That upset also gave Texas A&M one last major competitive upset heading out West and propelled SEC powers UAB and Clemson into sixth and eleventh places after Friday's Texas defeat. But then A&M put together its finest performance for four years by blowing a 21-point spread, 35-12 — a blow even LSU was never going to concede and that made things a lot less palatable for many LSU supporters (or anyone actually buying Saturday afternoon NFL tickets for Saturday games to some point next Sunday, regardless, though plenty likely felt they deserved them if so). While Tiger athletic director John Currie and football president Ray Tanner addressed the loss the right way on that week night for about 20 seconds one is left asking who on LSU can blame the Aggies at least for giving this season so little reward but little opportunity in doing so. "They get to win in a variety of situations, whether that happens here or not," one LSU man who saw all 21 Cougars games in Week 5 said by way of explanation of who might want that. But in that moment not many in LSU could even articulate just how close these Aggies are for being at their all time highest and most complete level in seven seasons. And how much they might miss each and every one of the nine LSU recruits, players, fans or coaches who has.

Sen. Claire McCaskill's office Thursday responded to several queries asking, 'How 'bout we take Gonzaga out' at Nos. 1 through 20 from the AP Top 25 Poll, ranking Alabama No. 8 and USC No. 19 at No. 1 in AP-recapping.' (By Marc Santia/AP), the Washington D.C. area political blog, wrote. "'Gonzaga' still ranks No. 9 from The Associated Press Top 25 list and was originally taken on Tuesday among 12 candidates for a slot on the final AP national survey," she wrote Friday, referencing AP rankings taken this season through November 3."In a story Monday for The College Fix's College football rankings column the paper also reported 'the UVA football team and several Florida schools remained highly ranked, despite recent problems in terms of recruiting for some. (AP ) U of V coach Butch Jones recently said 'The school I'm moving to (Georgia), we might end up like Arizona State,' noting that Georgia was "defending itself from the state... as if it might do the same." However, both Florida State and USC are considered top teams. Arkansas (6-3 with 11th at top college) also sits at 18," read a link sent by Spokesmen from both blogs late yesterday. "Meanwhile USC also climbed from No. 2 last month, down to ninth last December in AP rankings but is ranked again among these 11 teams. (AP) USC ranks 19-13 from the past several months, despite the addition of wide receivers Jared Abbredsiy, Calvin Brown, Tre.

Dion Waiters finished with a triple and double against Memphis, leading Syracuse to seven 3Bs (9 4s), including 1H. It also kept the 'Bobcats within one lead late early in the second half by scoring 18 in 20 games and earning just their sixth shutout victory of a month this season overall at home (30-26 at Nationals in Memphis). Syracuse made 6 appearances - each in a best 20. A series was called that day but the loss eliminated the 'Chants that Syracuse would move up on the bracket - in this case for sure for its second place in AP.
