Since my absence from my once favorite website, a lot has happened in my favorite sport.
To start this article off, I would like to say that in all likelihood, this will be a one time return. This is because I am going to restrain myself from private messaging anyone this article.
This article's reads will be based on how many people read it and comment it, without me PMing hundreds of people.
The reason that I say this will probably be a one time return to Bleacher Report is because I will not get anymore than 30 reads on this article without PMing people it, and with school and everything else, writing an article is that will only get 30 reads is just not worth my time.
So onto the actual article...
Since leaving the site, the college football world has been shaken up.
Buckeyes go through roller coaster season, and the drops are not over yet
After the close loss to USC in September, what appeared to be a Rose Bowl bound Buckeye team, lost to Purdue in late October, and was on pace for the capital one bowl for a while up until the Penn State game in the first November game of the year.
At that point, it seemed as if heralded Terrelle Pryor was taking backwards steps in his progression.
It proceeded to go to the point of where many of the Buckeye faithful called upon coach Jim Tressel to switch Pryor to the Receiver spot. A position where many thought Tressel would be able to utilize Pryor's skills with more consistency.
After what was expected to be a loss to Penn State, the Buckeyes completely dominated Penn State, and went on to win 24-7 in Happy Valley.
That is where we stand now, with Iowa coming into "The Horseshoe" next week in what will be an unofficial Big Ten championship game.
After Pryor's performance against Penn State, many are back on the Pryor bandwagon, and he is slowly gaining respect from around the country.
We will see for sure what Pryor is all about if he can duplicate a similar performance, like the one he had against Penn State, against Iowa.
If Pryor can beat Iowa, he will have for sure led his team to the Rose Bowl.
And I say "for sure" because if we beat Iowa, we are Big Ten champions automatically, even if we go on to lose to Michigan.
And God knows we will not be losing to Michigan this year...
Wolverines fall apart at mid season
In other news since I have been gone, Michigan fans have made complete fools out of themselves. After the 4-0 start, and the hailing of Forcier for Heisman, they have gone 1-5 and now stand at 5-5 as a total record.
To make a bowl game, they would have to upset either Wisconsin or Ohio State.
If I were a Michigan fan, I wouldn't focus on beating Ohio State, because like I said, God knows that won't happen.
I would focus more on the upcoming game against Wisconsin, and quite frankly, I wouldn't count on that one either.
Well, I guess it just looks like another lonely winter for Rich Rod and the Wolverines!
The pokes at the Wolverines are only jokes, so do not take them so personally when you read this as I know many of you will.
Yet another disappointing season so far for the Irish
In non-Big Ten news, Notre Dame looks like it will be saying aloha to a new coach next year, this after a season that included almost all close games and losses to Michigan, USC, and Navy.
The three teams that they lost to also happen to be arguably their three biggest rivals.
Granted though, Charlie Weis does have a chance to redeem himself this season, by beating Pitt, winning out, and winning their bowl game.
But Charlie, you have lost to Navy twice in three years, and winning out from here for you is wishful thinking.
Oregon becomes Pac 10 favorite
Oregon has surprisingly come from that bad loss to Boise State, to being the Pac 10's heavy favorite to win the conference and face the Big Ten in the Rose Bowl.
They were easily on their way after blowing out USC 47-20 on Halloween, but after losing to Stanford, the Pac 10 race's door is now wide open for quite a few teams.
Including USC who is looking to extend it's streak of almost uncountable Pac 10 championships.
The way the Pac 10 race finishes will be one of the more interesting finishes out of all of the major conferences.
Cincinnati looks for national recognition
Cincinnati is and has been looking for National Championship consideration all season, blowing out almost every opponent up unto this point in the season.
Their toughest matches are still awaiting though.
