With apologies to my friend Ryan McGee for stepping on his Bottom 10 turf, it has taken only six weeks this season to expose the Powers That Be as the Powers That Used to Be. Garry Unger Jersey . Notre Dame, Stanford and Oregon all have plummeted out of the top 25, confirming on Saturday that their earlier poor play was no fluke. The Cardinal can cling to injuries as a reason for their demise, although their losses in the secondary and the offensive line have illustrated the lack of depth that has been a perennial bugaboo on the Farm. The Irish and the Ducks appear to simply not have the talent that their opponents have. Someones luck will turn this week: Stanford goes to South Bend. The home team has won the past four games in this rivalry, all by seven points or fewer.1. Michigans 78-0 defeat of Rutgers on Saturday night ranks as the second-largest road win by a ranked team in the poll era (1936-present), according to ESPN Stats & Info research. The margin fell a touchdown shy of the Wolverines 85-0 victory at the University of Chicago in 1939. The Maroons had one foot out the door that season. Even with the legendary Amos Alonzo Stagg as head coach, Chicago president Robert Maynard Hutchins decided he didnt want the university playing major college football anymore. Chicago abolished its program after 1939 and pulled out of the Big Ten in 1946.2. With that piece of history in mind, consider the plight of Rutgers, which has lost on consecutive weeks to No. 2 Ohio State and No. 4 Michigan by a combined score of 136-0. And consider the plight of Boston College, which has extended its ACC losing streak to 10 games with losses to No. 25 Virginia Tech (on Sept. 17) and No. 3 Clemson by a combined 105-10. Toss in a rebuilding Syracuse (2-4, 0-2), which has shown sparks of renaissance under new coach Dino Babers, and its a mystery why the Big Ten and the ACC dismembered the Big East for parts. There may be a lot of TV eyeballs up here, but college football has fallen behind the rest of the country.3. Rutgers has tantalized one coach after another with the promise of success if he builds the proverbial recruiting fence around the state. And yet no one has ever done it. A generation ago, Penn State, Nebraska and Iowa built winners by taking Jerseys best players. Fast forward to two of the biggest stars from Saturday. Jabrill Peppers of East Orange, New Jersey, has become this years hybrid, a Michigan linebacker who made two tackles and ran for 74 yards and two touchdowns on only three carries against Rutgers. Minkah Fitzpatrick of Old Bridge, New Jersey, intercepted three passes for Alabama, returning one pick 100 yards for a touchdown.4. Speaking of Peppers, Im trying to decide what I enjoy most about Wolverines coach Jim Harbaughs discussion of his redshirt sophomore. It could be that Harbaugh began his comment by saying, In my humble opinion ... Or that Harbaugh, after some thought to compare Peppers to a versatile player of yore, came up with Jim Thorpe. Never mind that until the early 1960s, everyone pretty much played both ways. No, Harbaugh reached for Thorpe, the All-American at Carlisle, the 1912 Olympic decathlon gold medalist, the major league outfielder who also played pro football. The AP named Thorpe the greatest athlete of the first half of the 20th century. Harbaugh always thinks big. Its one reason he wins.5. Houstons 46-40 loss at Navy not only harmed the Cougars playoff chase, it may have doused quarterback Greg Ward, Jr.s chance at a major postseason award. Thats too bad. Ward threw for 359 yards and three touchdowns, and ran for 94 yards and another score. He threw two picks, one of them returned for a touchdown, but his QBR this season is higher (82.9) than last season (78.1), despite playing with a small tear in a shoulder ligament. Every time he throws a pass, it hurts, Houston coach Tom Herman said. It hurts less every day, because its healing. But thats the reality of it. What has Herman learned about Ward? I was a little nervous that he was not going to respond well to playing hurt. ... Ive seen a fiery competitor in him now that maybe I didnt last year.6. When Miami lost to Florida State by the margin of a blocked extra point late in the game, my first reaction was, if its a painful loss in that rivalry, then Mark Richt is on the wrong side of it. Richt was Florida States offensive coordinator from 1990-2000, which included Wide Rights I and II, and he was a graduate assistant on Bobby Bowdens staff from 1985-88, which included the epic 26-25 loss in 1987, followed by the Hurricanes 31-0 humiliation of the No. 1 Seminoles to open the following season. But it hasnt been all bad for Richt. Actually, during his years as offensive coordinator, Florida State beat Miami five straight times (1995-99) by an average margin of 22 points.7. It is a cliché as old as the postgame news conference: Ill have to look at the film/video. But theres a reason head coaches say that: The view from the sideline is not very good. If it were, thats where the coaching video -- and the TV cameras -- would perch. When Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer was asked Saturday why the Buckeyes passing game had struggled in the 38-17 victory over Indiana, he said, Ill know more when I meet you guys [later in the week]. ... Id say 50 percent of the time Im wrong when I say something on a press conference. Al Macinnis Jersey . After Mondays hard-fought loss, the wait seemed longer than usual. Getting set to go their separate ways for a short Christmas break, the Raptors coach credited his team for their effort on a seemingly impossible three-game road trip, urging them to build on that success when they get back to work at the end of the week. Wayne Gretzky Jersey . Philadelphia is 2-0 against the Senators this season and scored five goals in each victory. The Flyers recorded a 5-0 win in Ottawa on Nov. 12 and then earned a 5-2 home decision on Nov. 19. The Flyers have claimed three straight and four of the last five encounters with the Sens overall and Philly has won two in a row and three of its past four tests in Canadas capital city. www.wholesalebluesjerseys.com/?tag=cheap-carl-gunnarsson-jersey . President of baseball operations Larry Beinfest was fired Friday after 12 years with the Marlins. The move came as the team neared the end of its third consecutive last-place season in the NL East. MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester City and Borussia Moenchengladbach built on commanding first-leg advantages to cruise through the Champions League playoffs on Wednesday, while Russian side Rostov thrashed Ajax 4-1 to reach the group stage for the first time.City will play a sixth straight season in Europes elite competition after beating Steaua Bucharest 1-0 thanks to Fabian Delphs 56th-minute goal and completing a 6-0 win on aggregate. Goalkeeper Joe Hart made what could be his last start for City after losing his regular place under new coach Pep Guardiola.We have a top manager that the club has wanted a long, long time, and hes going to have his opinion on things, said Hart, who was given a rousing reception by City fans and appeared emotional during and at the end of the match.Its a place I love to be, he added, but situations occur in football. Were men, we get on with it.Raffael and Thorgan Hazard scored hat tricks as Moenchengladbach routed Young Boys 6-1 for a 9-2 win on aggregate, sealing an immediate return to the group stage for the German side.Both Germany and England will have a full quota of four teams in Thursdays draw. City, a semifinalist last season, will be one of the second seeds.Rostov advanced 5-2 on aggregate over Ajax -- a four-time European champion -- in its first season trying to qualify for the Champions League. FC Copenhagen is back in the group stage for the second time in four years, after scoring an 86th-minute equalizer to draw 1-1 with APOEL and progress 2-1 on aggregate.Dinamo Zagreb was the last team to go through, beating Salzburg 2-1 after extra time to advance 3-2 on aggregate. The Croatian team equalized in the 87th minute through Junior Fernandes to take the match to extra time before El Arabi Hilal Soudani grabbbed the winner in the 95th minute. Bernie Federko Jersey. City did the damage with a 5-0 win in Romania last week, allowing Guardiola to rest most of his first-choice players including Sergio Aguero -- the scorer of a first-leg hat trick.In an exercise in damage limitation, Steaua played with 10 men behind the ball and limited City to half chances until Jesus Navas cross for Delph to head home.City lost striker Kelechi Iheanacho to injury in the second half, but the game was overshadowed by Harts appearance in goal and emotional scenes after the final whistle when he grabbed the badge on his jersey and saluted the crowd. Hart bit his lip at one stage in the second half when City fans chanted his name.City is close to purchasing goalkeeper Claudio Bravo from Barcelona, which likely would spell the end of Harts decade-long career at Etihad Stadium. Guardiola doesnt think Hart is good enough with his feet, has told the England international he can leave, and has played Willy Caballero ahead of Hart so far this season.I know he is a legend for this club, Guardiola said. But I am here to take decisions. I make a lot of mistakes -- my decisions as a coach are sometimes good, sometimes bad, but I take decisions.I try to be honest with myself. I cant deny what I feel. I was honest with Joe, the club and all the players in the squad. The people must follow me.Hart gave little away about his future, saying: Outside of the charade and all the rubbish thats talked, we are dealing it like men inside, and we are going to come up with a solution.Told he had a 100 percent pass completion record on the night, Hart laughed and said: Pigs do fly, dont they?
