We've been bricking it about the prospects of even writing a preview of the Penn State-LSU game because we're so darned tense about it. For the Nittany Lions, it's a chance to go 2-0 against SEC teams in the last five years in Jan 1 bowl games, as well as prove to ...Published on: 30th December, 2009

In 2008, Illinois was crushed by USC in the Rose Bowl. In 2009, the conference became one of college football's laughing stocks by losing ...Published on: 19th December, 2009
Charlie Weis, Al Groh, Mark Mangino, and Steve Kragthorpe all got the coach's version of a lump of coal early this Christmas in the form of pink slips after the regular season ended, but here's 10 more coaches we think have reason to be worried if their team doesn't improve ...Published on: 19th December, 2009
Sorry to be cruel to Wyoming and Rutgers, but we've not overly excited about your bowl games this weekend. In fact, we're struggling to be interested in any bowl game before the weekend—but there ARE a few. Anywhere, here's our predictions: Oregon State vs BYU (Las Vegas ...Published on: 18th December, 2009
We've been ranting about this for a year now, but we'd like to put forward a simple plan that will make for a better regular college football season and put an end to the whining about not being in the National Championship Game. We think that 80% of the ...
