Buy me, sell me...

A second weekend of football is in the books, so here's another edition of the stock market college football style.

Time to buy:

The resume of Skip Holtz, coach of East Carolina. Which soon to be coaching vacancy will he snag? The one at Washington? Bobby Petrino's perhaps, once the Pig Sooey coach starts getting his hat handed to him in SEC league play? How about at Louisville where Steve Crapthorpe, excuse me, Kragthorpe, is under fire because The 'Ville used to be good and is no longer?

Pac 10 Conference. West Coast football right now is as good as East Coast football is bad. Frankly, the Pac 10 is the only thing standing between the SEC and Dr. Evil-like domination.

Jimmy Clausen's new "mullet." I am all about the Notre Dame QB's attempts to capture the Joe Dirt demographic. Buy a million shares, I say.

Ohio State bashers. Your week in the sun is coming. It will feel like Christmas morning for Bucks Bashers Saturday night when OSU go to L.A. and lose their football virginity.

Jay Cutler and the Denver Broncos. Watching Jay manage the offense shows this team is ready to burst onto the scene in the post-Tom Brady era. Let's hope that the Bronco D, which is mediocre at best, can hold out.

Time to sell:

East Coast football. Contrast, if you will, the atmosphere of Saturday's Connecticut-Temple game with Texas-UTEP. For the Temple game in Philly, there were, literally, about 1,500 fans in the stands at kickoff. In El Paso, there were that many people at the hot dog stand and sitting atop that crazy-ass rock formation just behind the Sun Bowl. And UTEP is supposed to blow chunks this year. Point is, there is no contest. Rutgers and Syracuse and Boston College and Pittsburgh can pour as much money into their programs as they want to and they still won't draw like a 6-6 Texas A&M team. Call it karma, call it passion, call it people-on-the-East-Coast-have-lives-and-people-in-College-Station-don't. Call it whatever you want. I've finally made peace with the fact that East Coast teams, particularly Northeast teams, are the Kansas City Royals of college football. But, in a sense, that's the way it should be. Because every Connecticut-Temple game that is played makes those USC-Ohio State games that much more special.

Wake Forest. It's only a matter of time before Wake gets the smackdown from somebody. You can't live on misdirection, lucky calls and the two-minute drill forever.

Florida. They're good, there's no doubt, especially on defense. But from what I saw in their game with Miami, I sense the Gator offense may struggle this year, especially when Tim Tebow is forced to pass. Given the strength of the SEC this year, I see that scenario playing out multiple times.

Speaking of Florida's passing attack, let's also sell Tim Tebow's throwing motion. It ain't a javelin, Timmy. It's a football. Heisman winner? Sure. But boy does he have one awkward-ass throw.

Fantasy football owners who drafted Tom Brady high up. And then there's the guy in my league who drafted both Tom Brady and Peyton Manning back-to-back. We all thought he was a total loser at the time.

Darren McFadden. Maybe it was first-game jitters. But compared to teammate Justin Fargas, McFadden, the Oakland first rounder and former Pig Sooey He-Man, looked stuck in the mud. The Raiders even installed a version of the Wild Hog Formation, but McFadden looked tentative in it. It's too early to reach any conclusions, but might it be that Matt Forte of Chicago, Felix Jones of Dallas, Chris Johnson of Tennessee and Steve Slaton of Houston all have better pro careers than Mr. McFadden? Call it the I-rode-the-LSU-game-to-the-Xbox-360-cover curse.
