We've got our chat with Todd Jones of Roll Bama Roll on tap for tomorrow morning, so be sure to tune in for that. Next week, we'll tackle the Pac-10, Independents and non-BCS schools.

Additionally, we're starting to get some traffic on our Pigline, so be sure to get in on the act! Call 916-912-4263, say you're calling for the Pigskin Podcast, leave your name and location and fire away.

We'll get your question on an upcoming show.

On to the links!
