FriendFeed: Last week, @ivan_maisel told us the SEC has “at least” 10 potential Top 25 teams. Let’s see. Ole Miss: 2-2, lost at home to Jax State. Tennessee: 2-2, crushed by Ducks, almost lost at home to UAB. Georgia: 1-3, inc. loss to Mississippi State. Vandy: 1-2, loss to Northwestern. But 2 of those 4, PLUS Mississippi State and Kentucky, are Top 25 teams??

FriendFeed: Reggie Bush returns Heisman, citing “dignity” of award; pledges to work with Heisman Trophy Trust in educational effort to help “student-athletes and their families avoid some of the mistakes that I made.”
FriendFeed: Nate Silver: “If Ms. O’Donnell [in DE] and Mr. Lamontange [in NH] were both to win their primaries…the Republican chances of a Senate takeover would fall to just 16 percent, according to the model.

FriendFeed: “What if, on the same weekend, Miami beats No. 2 Ohio State and Penn State beats No. 1 Alabama? … Boise would be the new No. 1 team in the country, and No. 1 teams don’t generally fall to No. 3 without losing.”
FriendFeed: Colorado’s Senate race is critical to the balance of power. Should I strategically vote for @BuckForColorado, even though I disagree with him about most things, because I think a GOP majority would be good for Obama and the Dems, and quite possibly the country — not because of, but in spite of, what Buck & the GOP stand for? Hmm. Probably not, eh?
FriendFeed: Twitter says I’m “over the status update limit.” I tweeted prolifically during Boise-VaTech, so I’m a spammer now? #WTF
