Once again, we’ve made it to the end of the college football season, and it’s time to announce the winners of the 2018 e-Systems College Football Pool!  It was a tight race at the top, but congratulations to the overall winner: AllySun AllySun finished the season with 2,494 points.  Just two points behind, JagRag was second […]

All the bowl matchups have been set, the College Football Playoff has been filled out, and we’re looking ahead to bowl season. But first, there’s one more regular season game to play. It’s a game that has been played since 1890, and features teams that combine for four national championships and five Heisman Trophy winners. […]

For the first time in FBS history, every conference will hold a championship game, making ten in total. In order of their kickoff, here’s a quick preview of each (all times ET): MAC Championship: Northern Illinois vs. Buffalo, November 30 @ 7 PM. The Huskies are 7-5 overall (6-2 in the MAC), but are entering […]

Cupcakes taste good, but they’re not very filling. Likewise, college football games featuring a “cupcake” opponent tend to be fun for a little while, but not very enthralling over sixty minutes. Fortunately, we were treated to some heartier fare as well. We start in Stillwater, where West Virginia saw its College Football Playoff hopes expire […]

We only get thirteen full weekends of college football, so each one is to be appreciated and savored. But the feeling held by many is that this particular weekend is the least-anticipated one of the year. Lots of Power 5 teams intentionally schedule “paycheck” games against smaller schools in order to hopefully ensure easy wins, […]

For the past few years, the Big Twelve has become known primarily as an offense-first conference. Several of the top teams in the conference run a variant of the Air Raid-style offense that can basically be described as “basketball on grass” due to its quick tempo and emphasis on the passing game. The two top […]

It was not a good day to be in the top 25. Eleven ranked teams were licking their wounds after losses in Saturday’s games, and seven teams fell out of the rankings entirely, marking the largest turnover in the rankings since the AP went to a 25-team format in 1989. A couple of teams find […]

Let’s just say that Purdue did not have a great start to their season. The Boilermakers opened 0-3, including a loss to Eastern Michigan. But lately they have turned things around in a big way, rolling off four straight wins, the last coming in impressive fashion over Ohio State. In front of a packed Ross-Ade […]

One of the difficulties of writing this column is avoiding the negative. Even though this is a sport where half of the teams lose each week, I usually try to post the positive sides of the story.  However, this stat line is just too hard to pass up; we haven’t see one like it in […]

Long-time readers of this column know of the special place in my heart for the service academies and their football teams. While the triple-option is old-fashioned by today’s modern offensive standards, when run effectively it is a sight to behold. The knowledge of the fact that, unlike practically all other FBS schools, football is a […]
