SI.com: Tony Pauline: Chase Daniel's draft stock is sliding

The college football season enters its final weeks and continues to offer a different twist almost every Saturday. A number of prospects are taking advantage of their opportunities by making a good impression on NFL scouts, though the signal callers from the senior class continue to watch their draft grades plummet.

SI.com: Michael McCann: Clemens stands tall on the Hill

Though stumbling on a couple of questions and leaving several others unanswered, Roger Clemens nonetheless emerged favorably from Wednesday's hearing before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Keep in mind, Clemens' primary goal was not to preserve or rehabilitate his baseball reputation or even to convince the legions of fans who disbelieve him -- as others have written, he may have failed miserably on those ends -- but rather to avoid perjury charges. Unless verifiable physical evidences emerges to the contrary, it seems unlikely the available evidence would lead to a conclusive finding that he committed perjury. Here's why, along with other observations:

SI.com: David Epstein: Clemens vs. McNamee saga heating up

As Roger Clemens opens a new chapter in his career -- the one where he defends everything that came before: the seven Cy Youngs, the 354 wins, the 4,672 strikeouts -- one aspect of the journey should be familiar to him.

SI.com: Richard Hoffer: Clemens is outraged at allegations he used steroids. Does that matter?

Roger Clemens was shocked -- shocked! -- at how little rooting capital he had after his seven Cy Young Award-winning career. "You'd think I'd get an inch of respect," he complained to CBS's Mike Wallace on Sunday night. "An inch." But these are unforgiving times for athletes who carry the taint of steroid abuse, and a rush to judgment has long since replaced the walk down memory lane. Too many of them have lied for too long, and a fan's protective reflex, no matter what the level of defiance offered in protest, has finally become disbelief.

SI.com: Jon Heyman: McNamee reacts to Clemens' 60 Minutes interview

Brian McNamee sits mostly stone-faced as Roger Clemens, his onetime client, brings the heat. "Ridiculous," "hogwash" -- terms used by the seven-time Cy Young Award winner to discredit McNamee's bombshell testimony in the Mitchell Report, in which the longtime personal trainer told investigators that he had injected Clemens with HGH and anabolic steroids -- fail to break McNamee's calm.
