Trell's College Football Top 25 Week 3 Edition

By -
1.      Florida State (2-0) W vs. The Citadel 37-12
-The Seminoles coast to another victory as this gives them a school record 18 consecutive wins and remain the number one team in the land. Jameis Winston goes 22-27 256 yards with two touchdowns in a little over a half worth of playing time.  The FSU defense allowed 72 yards passing and no points through three quarters of play. Next for the Seminoles will be division rival Clemson in Doak Campbell Stadium after a bye week. Last time the Tigers traveled to Tallahassee was in 2011 where the Seminoles won 49-37.

2.      Oregon (2-0) W vs. #7 Michigan St. 46-27
-Down 24-18 at halftime, Marcus Mariota throws for two touchdowns in the second half to lead the Ducks to the 19 point victory.  A brutal rushing attack by Oregon had the defending Big 10 champs on their heels all afternoon. Royce Freeman rushed for 89 yards with two second half scores for the Ducks who will face Wyoming Saturday at 11:00 local time.

3.       Alabama (2-0) W vs. FAU 41-0
-Amari Cooper ties the school record for receptions in a game with 13 as the Crimson Tide shutout FAU in their home opener.  Alabama had 620 total yards compared to the Owls 145 with 57 of those coming on the ground.  Yes Alabama dropped a spot but that can change once SEC play starts.  The Crimson Tide takes on Southern Miss is what experts may see as the most lopsided games on Nick Saban’s schedule.

4.       Oklahoma (2-0) W vs. Tulsa 52-7
-The Sooners win their 6 straight game dating back to last season after a 52-7 victory over first year AAC member Tulsa.  Heisman dark horse Trevor Knight throws for 299 and commands the Oklahoma offense to 580 total yards in the blowout victory.  The Sooners will play at home next week versus SEC East foe Tennessee 7:00 local time.

5.      Georgia (1-0) IDLE
-The Georgia Bulldogs had the week off after their 45-21 win over Clemson a week ago. Georgia will go on the road to take on SEC East rival #24 South Carolina 3:30 local time.  This early season match up could be a huge factor in deciding the SEC East champion and a berth in the SEC Championship game in Atlanta.

6.     Auburn
7.     Texas A&M
8.     USC
9.     LSU
10.   Baylor
11.   Notre Dame

The SportsPACK NBA Regular Season Awards

basketballsocietyonline.com MVP: Russell Westbrook Oklahoma City Thunder This year's MVP race has been the closest it's been in recent memory. With 5 legit candidates, anyone of them is well deserving of the award but my choice is Westbrook. Not only did he break a record I thought would never be broken with 42 triple-doubles, but after losing 3 out of their top 5 scorers, Westbrook still has the Thunder in the playoffs as a 6th seed and lead the NBA in scoring. James Harden had an outstanding season but has a lot more help in Houston than Westbrook has in OKC, which was one of my biggest deciding factors. warriorsworld.net Defensive Player of the Year: Draymond Green Golden State Warriors After coming in 2nd in DPOY voting 2 seasons in a row Draymond Green final wins the award. Averaging 2 steals a game, Draymond is tied with Wizards point guard John Wall for 1st in the NBA. Green can guard all positions effectively and is the anchor for a Golden State defense that ...

Players Need Rest

By -
The media, fans of the NBA and legends of the game are getting upset at coaches resting star players throughout the season. I understand that the fans want to see their favorite player every night but in order to get peak performance out of your favorite players they need rest. NBA players more now than ever have a very demanding schedule on and off the court. Between traveling for games, having multiple endorsement deals and playing on back to back nights; coaches believe that its only fair to gave the players a night off. Most of the players that get nights off usually play through multiple injuries all the time so we shouldn't complain much. I know NBA tickets are not cheap and you expect to see the stars when you buy that ticket but that's the risk you take when you make your purchase. The players and coaches have to put their organization's needs first. None of these players are saying they need rest but it is much appreciated.
