West Virginia was the team I picked to win it last year and, hey, if it wasn’t for an embarrassing loss to Pittsburgh on the final day of the regular season, they very well would have won (check that: definitely would have won, given they’d play Ohio State, your annual second place loser). I’ve already gone ahead and tabbed them as my winners for next year; even without Steve Slaton, they’ve got a lot of speed on offense, and I don’t see anyone in the Big East they may trip over.

Well, now things have gotten interesting. From College Game Balls, via The Big Lead, Noel Devine, the speedy back everyone loves to try and catch, allegedly beat down a student in a rather one-sided fight.

Once outside, Sangarie said someone punched him in the back of the head. Sangarie said he fell to the ground and was kicked and punched by several of the football players, including Devine and Sanders.

No verdict on what the school may do, though my best guess is this is some crazy plan hatched by Rich Rodriguez, and he’ll be properly sued for it.
