According to CFN, these two teams represent the No. 1 (USC) and No. 2 (OSU) defenses this year.

USC

When linebackers Rey Maualuga and Brian Cushing decided to forego the NFL Draft for one more year, it ensured that the Trojans would have one of the nastiest back sevens in the country. Not only are the two seniors All-America-caliber, but the secondary is sensational. Safeties Kevin Ellison and Taylor Mays are among six players with starting experience. Even without current pros Sedrick Ellis and Lawrence Jackson, the defensive line will be just fine. On the outside, speedy Everson Griffen is good enough to make folks forget about Jackson. On the inside, senior Fili Moala is about to shed his anonymity while making a strong push for All-American honors and a spot in the first round of next year's NFL Draft.

Ohio State

Sackmaster Vernon Gholston and productive all-around LB Larry Grant are gone. That's about the only negative on what was the nation's best total and scoring defense. The stunning decisions by LB James Laurinaitis and CB Malcolm Jenkins to return for their senior seasons when they would've been first round draft picks this year makes the already good-looking defense something special. All four starters return to the secondary that helped lead the way for the nation's best pass defense. Laurinaitis and running-mate Marcus Freeman will make up for the potential issue at the third linebacking spot, while Lawrence Wilson, Cameron Heyward, and Thaddeus Gibson are great-looking ends who should be camped out in opposing backfield. The key will be the tackles. Mediocre last season, at least by Buckeye standards, Todd Denlinger, Doug Worthington, Dexter Larimore and Nader Abdallah are expected to be far better.

Sound hil-arious! I would probably break your nose, not because I'm a buckeye fan, not because I'm a fighter (I'm not), because you are that annoying nerd in the office who has nothing better to do with their time.

Well...my best friend wanted to get married next summer, and I am the best man in his wedding. Now, he really wants me there, and I am on the road traveling all summer, and don't get back until the beginning of September. So, him and his fiance went out of their way to find a date in september, where it is still warm, hopefully, but I can go to. His fiance really wanted to get married in a warm month, or the spring, but he convinced her to change it so I could be there. So anyway, they found one open date for this place they like in September. September 12, 2009. So, instead of sitting in the Shoe watching Terrelle Pryor light up USC...i'll be at a wedding recpetion giving a speach. It's gonna be one hell of a speach.

Why don't people get married on Sundays?

If the date would have been the Michigan game, my best friend would have needed to find a new best friend. I'm still torn about this one though.

Start the ceremony around 8:30AM, reception around 10:00AM, gone by 1 or 2 PM.

Game probably kicks off no earlier than 3:30 but probably another 8PM kick. Which easily puts you in front of TV in time.

There are your demands, they have already changed the date around you, what is something minuscule as what time to start?

I missed my cousins wedding to go to the Texas 2005 game... but she was already married to the guy, and was some reception type deal in South Carolina (how I reasoned it to myself)
