Nick Saban is getting his team ready to take on a big SEC West rival. Steve Spurrier has his team in the upper echelon of the SEC East. In Ohio, Urban Meyer is readying his players, showing the college football world just how good a football coach he can be. Mark Richt is hearing grumblings […]

The only thing worse than getting beat in college football is paying someone else for the privilege of doing it. Eight 1-A teams found this out the hard way, including Oregon State, which in losing 49-46 to Eastern Washington became only the third team ever to lose a game to a 1-AA opponent while ranked […]

Our biggest congratulations go to the winner of the 2012 e-Systems College Football Pool: maestro maestro finished the season with 2,370 points in the “drop two worst weeks” format.

Bowl games are an interesting fixture of college football. No other sport that I know of features several one-off games, most of which have no significance on a team’s season, at the end of the season. And yet bowl games are here to stay, despite a playoff on the horizon. Let’s take a look at […]

Conference championship games are a relatively new feature in college football history. Since 1992, almost every conference has featured a championship game at some point, although some conferences that once had one now cannot due to not having enough teams in the conference. Let’s take a look at the conference championship games: We’ll start with […]

If you ever needed a reminder that college football is sometimes inexplicable, last Saturday around 10 PM would have been about as crystal-clear an example as you could ask for. #1 Kansas State was playing out the string of a four-touchdown loss to a Baylor team that entered the game 4-5. It was the first […]

And so we are down to four. Alabama and Louisville fell from the ranks of the unbeaten, leaving Kansas State, Oregon, Notre Dame…and Ohio State. The forgotten of the four due to BCS ineligibility and the Big Ten conference being down this year, the Buckeyes couldn’t have asked for a better start to the Urban […]

If you are a fan of a team that has won a national championship in its past, you have probably experienced a weekend during that championship season much like the fanbases of Alabama and Notre Dame had this weekend. Both the Crimson Tide and the Fighting Irish squeaked out wins. Alabama’s win, a 21-17 win […]

Every college football season has a weekend like the one we just had, where the only thing unexpected was, well, the expected. The number of undefeated teams got sliced almost in half, from 11 to 6. The ways that some of them lost were pretty painful as well, from Florida’s six turnovers in a 17-9 […]

Due to Toledo’s upset over Cincinnati, we’re now down to 11 undefeated teams. It’s a given that number will shrink by at least one this week, as Alabama plays Mississippi State. At most, there are only four more games possible between unbeaten teams before the bowls: Alabama-Mississippi State this week, Louisville-Rutgers and Oregon-Oregon State on […]
