Few televised sports inspire more passion than college football, especially when it comes to opinions on announcers and the networks that employ them. With kickoff less than a week away, I asked college football writers Stewart Mandel, Andy Staples and George Schroeder to join me for a roundtable on a number of television-related topics:
BJ Schecter, executive editor with SI.com, on an ex-booster's claims that the school spent millions on athletes.
Mark Ingram barely had time to adjust his seat and take a drink of water at the start of his press conference last Sunday before the first of several reporters asked him the inevitable question.
Analysts Kirk Herbstreit and Chris Fowler had a fascinating argument during ESPN's College GameDay on Saturday morning. Herbstreit complained about the constant blather about Notre Dame, saying the Fighting Irish don't deserve all the attention they get because they haven't been relevant on the national scene since 1993.

The Buckeye State proved up to the task of battling the nation's best last weekend in the third annual Kirk Herbstreit Ohio versus the USA Challenge.
