CBS-E-C

So let me get this straight. Dan Connor is the best defensive player in college football, but isn't good enough for CBS SportsLine's All-America Team? I'm getting really sick of this shit that CBS has been pulling for too long. As if the SEC needed another national media cheerleader, CBS has been leading the charge for years that the holier-than-thou conference is the biggest and best year in and year out. Don't even get me started on the mythical "SEC speed" that can beat any "slower" Big Ten team (2007 Outback Bowl: Penn State 20, Tennessee 10; 2007 Capital One Bowl: Wisconsin 17, Arkansas 14)or "smaller" Big East team (2006 Sugar Bowl: West Virginia 38, Georgia 35).

I won't go into this too much today, because it's just another never-ending argument of college football. But it's a bit of a coincidence that CBS chose LSU's Ali Highsmith as their third All-American linebacker over Dan Connor. James Laurinaitis made almost every AA team, but Connor made only one? I won't go into comparing Laurinaitis to Connor, but they're almost exactly the same, with the slight leadership edge to Connor. But to put Highsmith in over Connor is ridiculous.
