Well, that came out of nowhere. The Syracuse Orange and Pittsburgh Panthers were announced in a Sunday morning release as the ACC’s 13th and 14th teams. Pretty amazing, considering that before Saturday there were barely even rumors of these schools getting the call-up. There’s no reason to assume the ACC is done, as it could [...]

In 2010, the fun began. Nebraska to the Big Ten was the first domino to fall. Colorado to the Pac 10 was the second. Utah followed them. Boise Jumped to the Mountain West, TCU left the MWC for the Big East. And now it’s starting up again in 2011. Texas A&M to the SEC is looking more legitimate; and Mizzou, Clemson and Florida State might follow them [...]

The SEC submitted its suggestions for changes to NCAA rules regarding recruiting athletes. And surprise, surprise, the SEC’s representatives want to make their own jobs easier. While I’m definitely not here to defend the NCAA’s byzantine policies regarding everything, it’s still pretty funny that there aren’t a whole lot of new rules within the SEC’s proposals. But it’s the South, so maybe…

As Wes Bynum’s 19-yarder sailed through the desert air to split the uprights and down Oregon in the Tostitos BCS national championship there was no question Auburn was the best team in college football. There was also no doubt which conference was at the top of the summit. The cheers of “S-E-C” that rained down like ticker-tape[...]

It didn’t take long for the rumor of a possible change in the USC football uniform to spread like a wildfire across Tuesday’s Internet. It was a fire that flamed with resentment and burned with more intensity once images were attached.

We know today that Scott Wolf’s original report wasn’t completely inaccurate, though it was a bit overblown. [...]

The state of Alabama is beginning to get out of control as another pay for play allegation has surfaced, but this time it’s the Crimson Tide’s turn. First, if you follow recruiting, then you know about the Brent Calloway saga. And if you don’t, let me fill you in.

Calloway was committed to Alabama [...]

For those of you that loathe southerners chanting “SEC” whenever a member school accomplishes something of merit, like winning a National Championship, things have gotten worse.

Now, your friend that is a fan of Kentucky or the coworker that is Ole Miss alum can prance around and chant “SEC” through this t-shirt.
No matter which powerhouse [...]

What I knew:

~ I knew Oklahoma would play Nebraska in the Big XII CCG and win. Nuff Said!

~ I knew Florida would not be very good this season. YOU can not lose a player like Tebow and just move forward like he was just another player. And Urban Meyer hopefully will never try the “basketball shot” pass [...]

We may have seen the last of Chris Peterson at Boise State.

After Boise State was upset by Nevada in overtime Friday, I wonder if this will be the last season Chris Peterson coaches at Boise State. He has taken Boise State to highs that they will not see again. The media is already against them, so they won’t be ranked as high anymore. The other thing worth mentioning is that Boise State opens the season against a loaded[...]

It was a crazy weekend in college football. For the second straight week, the #1 team entering the weekend is not atop the standings on Sunday. Alabama fell to South Carolina last weekend and Ohio State got upset by Wisconsin on Saturday.

There are now ten undefeated teams left in college football, so there may be some BCS bowl controversy [...]
