Alabama has never had a Heisman winner, ever. This could be changed by a talent at running back who's name is Mark Ingram. His stardom is one of many college football shockers thus far this season.
Mark Ingram has had a tremendous year thus far, exceeding all expectations. His status in [...]
The muddled ACC Atlantic may become a little clearer on Saturday night when Division leader Clemson welcomes FSU to Death Valley. The Seminoles have rebounded after some early season stumbles to stay in the Atlantic Division race.
Clemson has been in this situation before with all the marbles to play for, [...]
The SEC West will likely be decided in Tuscaloosa on Saturday when Alabama meets LSU. With a win, Alabama will clinch the SEC West and meet Florida in the SEC Championship Game. If LSU wins here they control their destiny to get to Atlanta.
These two teams have [...]
You heard me right, Urban Meyer is a hypocrite!
The definition of hypocrite is "a person who professes beliefs and opinions that he or she does not hold in order to conceal his or her real feelings or motives".
I think that definition describes the Florida Gators Head Coach to a "T".
Meyer [...]
It's been nearly one week since the Oregon Ducks completely outplayed the USC Trojans.
Since then, many sports analysts across the nation have targeted the Oregon Ducks' upcoming matchup against the Stanford Cardinal as a trap game.
Other analysts have predicted that the Ducks will win by as few as a single' [...]
I'm a football purist. I believe in basic truths and unbroken promises. I believe that when you recruit and train young men and tell them that if they work hard and beat everyone they play, they will be champions.
Only this is the NCAA, division one to be exact. And this' [...]
This Saturday, two great Pac-10 teams will square off when California and Oregon State tangle.
The Golden Bears have had a bit of a disappointing season after being ranked in the top 10 early on. After losing to Oregon and USC badly, they are back in the top 25 again and [...]
Thursday night in Greenville, N.C., the Virginia Tech Hokies played a hard fought battle in a defensive game against East Carolina. The Hokies were victorious 13-3, breaking a two game losing streak and bringing some joy to VT alumnus even in a tough win.
The game was a much needed distraction [...]
Brandon Spikes tried to gouge Washaun Ealey’s eyes during a pile up in the Florida-Georgia game. The video wound up on YouTube, and everybody and his brother is now pretending to be butt-hurt about it.
No one was actually hurt. Spikes made a public apology, and Ealey (the victim) shrugged the [...]
In recent years, there have been some monumental Cinderella stories in college football. Utah in 2004 and 2008. Boise State in 2006. But if you are willing to go back 25 years, to 1984, you will discover one of the greatest stories in the history of sports.
Just a decade earlier, [...]
I know the Big 10 Season is winding down, but for the remaining three weeks, I will be publishing a list of 10 reasons to recognize yourself as being a fan of the opposition to Ohio State.
Before anyone gets upset, please remember this is all in good fun, and I [...]
Let's get the cliches and coach-speak out of the way first.
Utah should keep their eye on the ball, approach one game at a time, respect their opponent, and take care of business tomorrow against up-and-coming New Mexico.
Now that that's out of the way, let's discuss what this game really means [...]
At the end of last weekend's nail-biting finish against Arizona State, it was hard not to think back to the first few series of the game. The Sun Devils let key moments literally slip through their fingers early, and it probably made the difference in the game.
On the Sun Devils'' [...]
Hello and welcome back from your hole, Gamecock fans. Having just crawled out of mine after the horrifying Halloween we just endured, it's time to finally point out the obvious.
Carolina is still an average football team. While it may tease us with tantalizing talent and potential, the team has shown [...]
There was a time when Taylor Mays was a one-man horror show. Wide receivers ducked hits, cut off routes, and pretended to get tied up at the line in bump-and-run coverage.
There was a time when Taylor Mays roamed the USC defensive backfield with the aura of Ronnie Lott. Tight ends [...]
Blame it on defense. Blame it on Aaron Corp. Hell, blame it on the Bossa Nova.
Wherever you want to point the blame, USC is a two-loss team, something that Southern Los Angeles is not used to. And let me tell you, students are not taking this well. Viewership of tomorrow’s [...]
Announced before the season began, the “Celebrate the State Football Series” promised Michigan State would be playing the three directional Michigan schools from the 2011 season until 2020.
Despite the obvious positives this has for both MSU and Central, Western, and Eastern Michigan universities—MSU gets cheap out-of-conference games and the Mid-American [...]
“I’m 100 percent Auburn. I'm a War Eagle now.'' That’s the word from Michael Dyer, a five-star prospect on Rivals.com and the number one-rated high school running back in the country by ESPN.
Dyer, who hails from Little Rock, Arkansas, is the all-time leading rusher in the state and chose Auburn' [...]
With Utah on deck next week, TCU travels to San Diego State to face the upstart Aztecs.
Could TCU, on the verge of receiving a BCS berth for the first time, actually falter against San Diego State?
The concern is more valid that it might appear at first glance.
Tradition at San Diego [...]
Stanford might have a nicer campus, smarter students, and even a better synchronized swimming team, but when it comes to football, there is no doubt that Oregon comes out on top.
The Ducks are coming off a big win, while the Cardinal have been home resting up during their open date.
This [...]
Charlie Weis and Jack Swarbrick are brilliant men.
For Coach Weis and AD Swarbrick to push a 7-4-1 schedule model, successfully execute an off-site home game in San Antonio, and solidify a New York City game amidst the already hallowed confines of Yankee Stadium is ingenious.
But before [...]
Ok, so unfortunately I can't give you the wordy beefed up tangents that you've come to expect because as I write this, I'm in the airport waiting for my flight back home.
It's a shame I've missed most of the lead up to LSU and Bama's battle for the west this [...]
After a much-needed bye, the 3-5 Washington Huskies are headed to Cali to face UCLA.
Both the Bruins and the Huskies badly need wins this week to try to save their seasons. A 3-0 start for UCLA quickly turned into 3-5, and they are yet to win a Pac-10 game this [...]
Let’s all pretend for a moment, that the big wigs in college football had a brain.
Let’s pretend that they realized that the BCS system was BS and that a playoff system would not only be the healthiest thing for the sport, but by far the most enjoyable process for the [...]

We have all heard about the reigning Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week, Bruce Miller.
Yes he had an amazing game, a huge impact, and created the fumble that led to UCF’s eventual victory. But what the “outsiders” do not recognize, is that the game [...]
This week’s game against the Northwestern Wildcats is the classic trap game for the Iowa Hawkeyes. Is this the week that the magical championship run ends for the Hawkeyes?
There are several reasons for the Hawkeye faithful to be worried.
First, some of Iowa’s players will likely struggle keeping their focus on [...]
I’ve watched UCF twice this year, so I may know more about this team than any human being on this planet.
Offense
Weird group. Basically, they have a bunch of WRs that look like Under Armour models, an OL that looks more imposing than their blocking, and they love to pound the [...]
While it looks like the Pac-10 was decided last week, the SEC, Big Ten, and ACC all have games that will heavily impact their conference outcomes.
Just so you know, I’m refusing to put Iowa on this week’s list. They will keep it close, just enough to draw you in, before [...]

Throughout the movie, he offers advice and instruction to his patients.

If there was EVER a Big 12 game Missouri was gonna win by blasting an opponent, it's tomorrows game against the lowly Baylor Bears.
I'd like to somewhat preface this article by saying I loved the Bears headed into the season. With Jay Finley and Kendall Wright flanking Robert Griffin as' [...]
I think I speak for all Notre Dame and Pittsburgh fans when I say, "Yes. We want a little zing in our zang-zang."
Like most college cities, we could do without Big & Rich. But if Fowler, Corso, Desmond, and Herbstreit come along, we'll deal with it.
So ESPN, bring College GameDay' [...]
Oregon football is fast. The players practice fast, they run games fast, heck, even their coach talks fast. But their decision to bring back suspended senior running back LeGarrette Blount is not one to be made quickly.
Everything about that September evening post-game scene unfolded in a horrifying heartbeat. [...]
Call it what you want. A gut feeling, intuition, or taking a trip down myopic lane … I’m calling my shot across the bow of USS Saban. LSU beats the Tide this weekend.
And to really add insult to all those who will shun my prognostication … LSU will win by [...]
There are an abundance of issues with the Bowl Championship Series from who gets in, to how they get in. Usually, however, the BCS corrects itself through upsets.
For the most part, the teams that get into the BCS do so with little controversy, although there is always a reason to [...]
As soon as we head into the chill of November, it seems most everyone wants to present some manner of bowl projections. Every year, it proves to be a most futile exercise.
Look at what the Big XII title game has done in its 11-year history. For example, in 2008, many a Longhorn [...]
As the calendar turned to October in Connecticut, the magnificence of the changing colors of the leaves mirrored in some odd way the matchups the UConn football team had on their schedule for the month.
As much as I had hoped the wide array of red, orange, and yellow leaves would [...]
There isn't a single player on Duke's roster that was there the last time the Blue Devils won the Victory Bell.
The rivalry trophy is presented annually to the winner of the Duke-UNC football game.
Historically, the winning team claims the bell after the game and paints its base their school colors.
The last' [...]
Black jerseys, black helmets, black pants, and who knows what is next. Yeah, it can be fun to see the Dawgs wear something cool and different from time to time, but the purpose behind it sickens me.
Don't get me wrong, when I saw the team bust through the banner against' [...]
I'll be honest: I, like most Wolverine fans, have no idea what will happen. It depends on which Michigan team shows up.
Will it be the team whose electric offense and big play quarterback had fans salivating to play anyone, including OSU?
Or will it be the team whose awful defense dishes' [...]

Mississippi State's football program has changed in so many ways from last season to this season, that it's kind of hard to count them all. But as we head into a bye week, I've come up with 10 key differences; things that portend a brighter future for the Bulldogs:

A new and ominous sound is being heard throughout college football.
Distant rumblings of smug assertions by those whose teams have suffered through eight years of Trojan dominance, either directly or indirectly, are becoming louder.
Has Pete Carroll lost his magic touch with the USC Trojans?
After last Saturday's 47-20 blowout loss to [...]
No matter how set in stone the national title picture might seem, it’s never truly over until the last BCS standings are released. The past few years certainly taught us that much.
As the analysts continue to believe, the winner of the Alabama-Florida SEC Championship Game will meet Texas [...]
There have been plenty of articles written on the subjects of LeGarrette Blount and Brandon Spikes. One player was suspended since after the first game of the season and one is going to be only suspended for a game.

While most of you were out Trick-or-Treating last Saturday one man was hard at work preparing for next Saturday. And the Saturday after that. With Stanford's next two opponents playing each other during the bye week coach Jim Harbaugh took this opportunity to get some scouting done.
