Hello, again, folks . . .

It's Max Mercy, Jr. back with all the inside information on the All-American Football League. Season two is one week old and already Ole Max has tidbits you need to know.

Let's start out talking about the impact of the rules changes. By far the best and biggest out there is the change that teams are no longer required to play all four rostered quarterbacks in at least one series. Week one showed you the just how big a deal this rule change is. Look at the point totals, passing yardage and TDs tossed that were racked up in the season openers. This is a great change because it always for offensives to get in a rhythm and keep rolling. Fans have long loved offense. This rule is the best thing to come to college football since yours truly (honorable mention to Jenn Sterger).

Michigan-Notre Dame Rematch This Week

A year again Michigan all but had its rivalry game with Notre Dame locked up. The Wolverines led 17-14 with less than half a minute on the clock. Then, it happened.

Quarterback Brady Quinn hit a wide-open Jack Snow with a 68-yard touchdown pass with just 15 seconds left to lift the Fighting Irish to an improbable 21-17 victory over Michigan. Some said it was a blown coverage by the Wolverine secondary. Others said Snow just plain beat the coverage. Whatever the truth, the Irish won their second straight road game en route to a series of improbable wins in 2006 and finished as national champs.

Saturday, the same two teams will match up again. This time the game will be played at Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend. Ole Max will be there to get all the inside information you loyal readers crave.

Ole Max's prediction: Notre Dame 24, Michigan 20

Ole Max's Big Poll

Here it is, the first showing of Ole Max's Big Poll:

1. Texas--Impressive shutout win in opener
2. Florida State--Stirring victory on the road
3. Nebraska--No need to go for two this time around
4. Penn State--Lions made Pitt look like spit
5. Notre Dame--Rang up gigantic numbers against lousy Illinois team
6. USC--The first win in what will prove to be a successful season
7. Alabama--The Bear has the Tide rolling
8. Clemson--The Tigers hit on all cylinders in rout
9. Colorado--Brian Kelly may be this year's Sklyer Green
10. HBCU--The team is more than just Willie Gallimore

Heisman Hype

It's too early for Ole Max to reveal the Heisman leaders. Check in next week!
