Wait… what? West Virginia’s defense, new coordinator and all, beat the Mountaineer offense? The same offense that just scored again on Clemson? Technically, yes. The final score of WVU’s Gold-Blue game was a 43-34 win by the defense, but the matter of who “won” or “lost” ends there; a scoring system that rewarded the defense [...]

Seven weeks into the 2008 season, there were 13 undefeated FBS teams. Seven weeks into 2010: ten. 2009: nine. Hell, even in 2007, the oddest, craziest season in recent memory, there were 10 undefeated teams, just like there were this season.

We learn the same lesson every year, then we forget it 12 months later: getting [...]

Experts have seemingly yelled from the mountain tops how they had no idea how Auburn was 2-0 and how this lucky streak had to come to an end. Saturday, it did and boy did it ever. After picking up two quick first quarter touchdowns, Auburn seemed to be in control on both sides of the [...]

That should “sting” a bit, but maybe the voters had valid reasons for making their picks as the offense with a running game ranked 2nd nationally loses 3 starters from the offensive line and running back Jonathan [...]

So where does Clemson go from here? The Tigers got as close to a conference title as they have since 1991. The all-everything CJ Spiller will now be playing in the NFL. And the starting QB Kyle Parker could be playing professional baseball. Many Tiger fans already anticipate his departure and expect red shirt freshman [...]

They don’t play in a tough conference.They don’t have to play great teams every week.
Their non-conference schedule is not hard enough.
They wouldn’t last in a major conference.

TCU’s schedule has been picked apart by almost everybody associated with college football.

There are plenty of hot seat coaches across the country, and we’re already beginning to see some college programs sweeping out the old, and preparing for the new.  Yesterday, it was announced that Kansas State’s Ron Prince will not return for the 2009 season, after a 3 year tenure.  This follows up firings/forced resignations in [...]
