Lee, do you think the Ole Miss Rebels can step up and win the big game with Florida this weekend, and are you looking forward to the Eli Manning-Rex Grossman matchup?
Will, Mississippi

Manning will play well against Florida and I think Ole Miss will score some points, but the problem for the Rebels is going to be their defense. The last time I saw this Mississippi team it was giving up a bunch of points against Texas Tech, so the Rebels better watch out for Grossman and the passing game.

	Lee Corso and the rest of the GameDay crew can't get to every campus this season, so ESPN.com has given fans another option: It's called "Lee-Mail." Lee has an opinion on just about anything related to college football. So, go ahead and send him a question. He'll answer questions each Wednesday during the season in "Lee-Mail."

Do you think Georgia is deserving of its lofty ranking, and is having David Greene as the full-time QB better that the rotation with D.J. Shockley?
Leon Russell, Atlanta, Ga.

Yes, the Bulldogs deserve their ranking because they have beaten a good Clemson team and won a tough road game at South Carolina. They also showed some more potential last week, particularly in the kicking game. And I think David Greene being the clear No. 1 quarterback will help Georgia, but UGA will miss D.J Shockley somewhere along the line because of the spark he can provide with his running and passing. I wouldn't be surprised if the 'Dawgs lose one of their next three games (at Alabama, Tennessee, Vanderbilt) because of that missing spark.

Lee, how do you feel about the play of Michigan State over the last few weeks? Do you think coaching has caused this talented team to play to below its potential?
Jim, East Lansing, Mich.

Well, Michigan State didn't play to its potential against California because the Spartans were looking ahead to Notre Dame, but if you look at the Notre Dame game the Irish got lucky in what was a pretty even game. Then MSU messed around and let Northwestern hang in there for a while last week. Michigan State is playing like a yo-yo, very up-and-down, but don't criticize the Spartans for the effort against Notre Dame. The Cal game was bad, but don't blame the coaches because they can only do so much before the players have to go out and perform for themselves on the field.

Lee, after the showing that Kentucky had against Florida are the Wildcats legit?
Lee Harvey, Richmond, Ky.

Kentucky is absolutely legit. I picked the 'Cats to make that game close, and the days of going into Lexington and getting an automatic win are over. The Wildcats are well-coached by Guy Morriss, they play hard and they are tough. Special teams struggles by Florida played a part in making that game close, but Kentucky also made some plays on offense and defense and was able to take advantage of those miscues.

With Chris Rix looking mediocre in Florida State's loss to Louisville, do you think Bobby Bowden will eventually turn to Adrian McPherson?
Matt, Spartanburg, S.C.

It's not really fair to criticize Chris Rix or Dave Ragone of Louisville for the performances they had in that rain storm last Thursday. The conditions were terrible with the wind and rain and neither of them looked good. But if we see a bright, sunshiny day where Rix struggles and is not playing well enough to get Florida State on the scoreboard I definitely think you'll see McPherson get on the field.

Coach, what do you see happening in the USC-Washington St. game this weekend? We all know the Cougars' offense can put up huge numbers, but do you think the Southern Cal defense will be able to stop them like it did Oregon State?
Josh Anderson, Albany, Ore.

First of all, Washington State is much more experienced than Oregon State so I don't think it's fair to compare those two offenses. Second, the USC-Oregon State game was played in L.A. But the key to the game this week will be a spurt by one team or the other at some point in the game. Washington State can get two or three touchdowns in a short span with its offense, and if the Cougars do that I think they will beat USC. I think the Trojans can play well in this game, but with the game being in Pullman I give the advantage to Wazzu.

	Avon Cobourne rushed for a career-high 260 yards last week against East Carolina.

Hey Lee, why hasn't West Virginia's Avon Cobourne recieved any Heisman consideration? He leads the nation in rushing at 159.5 yards per game, has over 4,000 career rushing yards and is the leading rusher in Big East history. Why is he getting no love?
Dave, Morgantown, W.Va.

The problem for Cobourne is that West Virginia doesn't play on national TV. Like it or not, the Heisman race is predicated on a lot of national exposure. Example: Seneca Wallace is the No. 1 candidate for the Heisman in my mind, but until last week very few people had seen him despite his sensational performances against Florida State and Iowa. As soon as WVU gets on national TV and more people see what Cobourne can do, he will get the credit he deserves for all he has accomplished.

Lee, with the Pac-10 schedule well underway what are your thoughts on the race this year? No one team has looked really good this year, though all have had their moments.
Kevin Cary, Spokane, Wash.

I'm going to stick with the team I predicted to win the conference before the season, Washington State, because the Cougars play three of their biggest games in Pullman: against USC, Oregon and Washington. The thing that disappointed me about USC was the Kansas State game, because I thought the Trojans were going to beat the Wildcats. But USC messed around and got behind early before showing some character with a comeback. As disappointed as I was in that game, I was just as impressed with the shutout win over Oregon State. Pete Carroll is the defensive coordinator as well as the head coach, and his NFL-type schemes had a lot to do with that.

N.C. State is 6-0 and T.A. McLendon has stats comparable to those of another true freshman running back who is getting lots of attention. Why is he not getting any exposure?
Ken, Fuquay-Varina, N.C.

McLendon certainly deserves more exposure, but it is very hard for a freshman to get a lot of national ink unless he is at a big school like Maurice Clarett at Ohio State. Clarett has the advantage of playing on national TV in front of a large audience. But McLendon is as good a freshman running back as I have seen this year and every bit as good as Clarett.

After Iowa's upset win over Penn State, where do you see the Hawkeyes finishing in the Big Ten?
Kele Harris, Burlington, Iowa

It's a little early to predict whether they will finish among the top four teams in the conference, but with the talent I saw against Penn State they can be in that group. I think quarterback Brad Banks and running back Fred Russell were the difference in that game, particularly Russell. I didn't realize how good he is, and he is as good as any other back I have seen on television this year.

Who are some of the young coaches around the country you see having big impacts in their programs?
John Anke, Pittsburgh, Pa..

I have to go with Bob Stoops at Oklahoma, who has made OU one of the best programs in the country, and Ralph Friedgen is not a young coach but is in his second year and has done a good job with his Maryland team. Urban Meyer at Bowling Green would get my vote right now for coach of the year. He's won two straight games against Big 12 teams (Missouri and Kansas), and that's just not supposed to happen for a Mid-America Conference team.
