#1: Kansas State is Tournament-Worthy

Kansas State was on the bubble prior to the game in need of a quality win. With a 16-9 record with losses to top teams like Duke, Florida, Missouri, Kansas, and Texas A&M, the Wildcats had to prove they can beat top teams, not just compete. With a 84 to 68 stomping over rival Kansas, they sure showed their ability to win. Especially[...]

My Conference Rankings:
1. SEC. Without doubt here. The West is easily the best division in College Football. Even with major disappointment Georgia and a weak East division, the West is strong enough to lead the way.
2. Pac 10. Four undefeated teams. One 2-2 team that almost beat Wisconsin. One 2-2 team that crushed Texas in [...]

TCU@SMU:

The game was over when:

TCU responded to the SMU TD to open the 3rd with a huge kickoff return. TCU fixed some problems and dominated the second half of the game. SMU still managed to put up some points and had a chance at the end of the game to make it 31 for the game. They were just outmatched [...]

If the rumors of Big 12 invites from Big Ten and Pac-10 are true, the best case scenario for the member schools of the Big 12 would be the death of the Big 12.

Consider the likely future of the members of the Big 12.

Nebraska and Missouri [...]

In light of recent expansion talk, I’ve come across several articles highlighting the Pac 10’s near misses of the past. One of the most interesting was the consideration of BYU in the 90s, which obviously never grew to be anything but talk. By now you’ve heard the flurry of suggestions declaring the Cougars the best [...]

The team of the decade is always open for debate. And as a Southern California loyalist, I always felt Pete Carroll’s teams of 2004 and 2005 deserved to be near the top, with the undefeated National Champions leading the way. I often wondered if longstanding bias or actual field performance swayed my vote and established [...]

As I was counting down the minutes until my workday would end, I casually listened to the Mike Missanelli show on ESPN Radio in Philadelphia. All of a sudden, I thought I heard someone say, “Boise State,” “Preseason,” and “No. 2.”
Now I wasn’t sure if those words went together, so I went to good ‘ol Google [...]
