    CFN has been owned by Foxsports for a long time now, and Fox also owns scout.com. as of last year, I think they have just changed the site. This is just a continuation of their linking all of their college site together It looks like to me. If you go to the Foxsports site you'll notice that all of their college football articles come from either CFN or scout.

    As long as they keep all of their writers the site should stay the same.

    I just have a feeling that it will go "pay-per-view"...

    This sucks big time. CFN was one of the first sites I go to each day. I dont like the new format at all. I am very disappointed. They were also very pro LSU.

    Here's a quote from the web site:
    Wonder how long the quote will be true?

    I kind of like the new layout. It's better than that old hodge podge layout they had that had little ryhme or reason...

    I agree. But I disagree with cfn in its statement that for LSU to have a successful season it will have to win the SEC West. I can see LSU losing the West with a 10-2 season. I would consider a 10-2 season, regardless of whether or not we win the West, to be a very successful season. Cfn picks Auburn to win the West, but picks LSU to go 10-2.

    Scout has the worst format ever created. Some of their sites have good writers, but navigating your way throught their pages is more painful then going to the DMV.

    I dont like going to the frontpage and not seeing one story. Instead of listing teams in a scrolldown type format like Rivals, they spread every University across the front page.
