Junior linebacker Akeem Ayers and junior safety Rahim Moore both said they were undecided about whether they’ll leave school a year early and enter the NFL draft, according to ESPN. “I’m just going to do exactly as he said, just take my time,” Ayers said. “I’ve got enough time to think things over and do the right thing. I haven’t really been thinking about it. During the season it’s not something I want to focus on.” Ayers stated.

He currently projects as a possible top 10 overall pick, according to the NFL Draft Bible. He is expected to submit his paperwork to the NFL Advisory Committee for review of his draft stock. His draft grade could ultimately dictate his decision to turn pro or not.

“I wanted to focus on the team and helping us to win. But the season’s over now and I

It was a case of status quo this weekend in the NFC, as eight of the conference’s nine playoff contenders won. Among those battling for a post-season berth only Tampa Bay suffered a defeat, to Atlanta, and it was not a surprising loss. The AFC cannot say the same: Indianapolis lost at home to Dallas and San Diego lost for the second time this season to the Oakland Raiders. The pair of high-profile losses left Jacksonville and Kansas City in charge of their respective divisions. That cannot be too surprising since those teams have been lurking for months, but most of us thought it was just a matter of time before the…fancier teams assumed control.

Fans of the Rocky movie franchise will remember Duke, the trainer for Apollo Creed.

Rose Bowl: January 1, 2011: Wisconsin vs. TCU: This one should help end some debate when it comes to the BCS Buster/non-AQ schools. Had Auburn or Oregon dropped a game it may have come down to these two schools for the Championship Game. Some believe that voters would have decided to leapfrog Wisconsin over TCU to keep “Cinderella” out of the dance, while others believe TCU proved their worthiness with an undefeated season. Looking at the Horned Frogs’ schedule, it says here that both Wisconsin (lost at Michigan State) and Stanford (lost at Oregon) would have gone undefeated had they played TCU’s slate. You might be able to make a similar case for a few other programs as well. So is the
