This weekend could be something special. We're not talking about TCU vs. Utah, although College Gameday might tell you differently. We're not talking about Alabama vs. LSU, although the Cajuns and Crimson might tell you differently. We're not talking about Arizona vs. Stanford, although the NFL Scouts following ...Published on: 25th October, 2010
It's the start of 'Hate Month', where we start letting petty differences get in the way of actual football games. And there's a lot of hate to be had this weekend, kids—you just have to look. Louisiana Tech vs Boise State If I'm Boise State, I'd ...Published on: 17th October, 2010
College Football is like this beautiful quilt. For the first few weeks, we stitch the fabric together and swear it's all going to stay like this forever more. Then the upsets happen. A No. 1 goes. Suddenly the patchwork quilt changes colors, allegiances, and conference colours. We throw in a bit ...Published on: 16th October, 2010
We were proved wrong on many occasions this weekend (pre-Oregon State at Washington). Here's just a few: We thought Ohio State would beat Wisconsin. WRONG!

So here are our predictions: Oregon State vs Boise State ...Published on: 19th September, 2010
It's a little bit late, but after a quarter of the season already gone, we thought we'd get our act together by putting out some rankings. You'll probably disagree. Alabama is the est team in the nation so far. Ohio State's Terrelle Pryor and company are solid. Can't see anyone ...Published on: 19th September, 2010
On Week 3, we were reminded of a few things: Michigan State reminded us that trick plays at the end of overtime is the most exciting thing in college football. Especially when it's against Notre Dame. That overtime - and college overtime in general, reminds us why college football ...Published on: 19th September, 2010
In the words of one of our favourite commentators, Jack Buck: "I don't believe what I just saw!" The reaction of the Michigan State fans, the stunned Irish band, the even more stunned Brian Kelly, and our reaction at 5 a.m. on Sunday morning local time (I write this ...Published on: 17th September, 2010
After Hokie upsets and monster games in Tuscaloosa during Week 3 of NFL play, it's hard to get excited about Week 3 of the college football season—unless you're in love with the SEC. The VFA lays out some predictions: Arkansas vs Georgia The Razorbacks' visit represents the second good SEC team in a row ...
