I am interested in how Riley fares out west, especially now that he's headed to the B1G (if he lasts that long). I keep seeing various ten tops that include USC this year, and am dubious. Maybe so, probably not. I THINK there is a talent separation between the top three and the next group that is substantial, not to say upsets won't happen.
OSU-Bama would be a heckuva game I think, two gunslingers slinging.
CWS is down on Riley and I get why, it's not sour grapes I think. More good riddance. But most first year coaches need that year to adjust the program how they need it. They can do pretty well the next year.
