2009 NCAA Football Bowl Projections, Part 12: The Independents
Published on: 6th December, 2009
With the final part of the Bowl Projection Series, we spotlight the Independents. And it’s very easy to do. There are only three: Army (5-6), Navy (8-4), and Notre Dame (6-6). All of them could be bowl eligible, but only two at most are going anywhere. That’s because the Fighting Irish have decided ...2009 NCAA Bowl Projection, Part 11: The Pacific-10
Published on: 6th December, 2009
We close out the power conference portion of the Bowl Projection Series with the other conference that makes an annual run for the Roses: The Pacific-10. No longer is the Pac-10 “USC and everyone else.” For the first time in seven seasons, the Trojans did not win or share the ...2009 NCAA Bowl Projections, Part Ten: The Sun Belt Conference
Published on: 5th December, 2009
There’s only one non-BCS conference left to spotlight in the Bowl Projection Series, and that’s the Sun Belt. The Sun Belt is like the red-headed step-child of the FBS; everyone beats up on them. They are so maligned that they only have one bowl bid, and any others they get ...2009 NCAA Bowl Projections, Part Nine: The Atlantic Coast Conference
Published on: 4th December, 2009
In the penultimate Bowl Projection Spotlight for BCS conferences, we look at the only remaining league with a true championship game: The Atlantic Coast Conference. The ACC is tied with the SEC for most normal bowl tie-ins, as each have nine apiece. But while the latter will look for its fourth ...2009 NCAA Bowl Projections, Part Eight: The Mid-American Conference
Published on: 4th December, 2009
In the fourth non-BCS conference installment of the Bowl Projection Series, we look at the league that contains my alma mater: The Mid-American Conference. A year after making headlines by nearly becoming a BCS Buster when Ball State started 12-0, the MAC has flown under the radar this year but has ...Is Brent Celek’s Contract Extension with the Eagles Too Much Too Soon?
Published on: 3rd December, 2009
“The Philadelphia Eagles have signed Brent Celek to a six-year contract extension that will keep him in Eagle green until 2016. The extension could be worth up to $33m and contains $10.5m in guaranteed money—quite a haul for a man making the league-minimum $460,000 this season." When I first saw the ...NCAA Bowl Projections, Part Six: Conference USA
Published on: 3rd December, 2009
We reach the true halfway point of the Bowl Projection Series with the conference that had early dreams of crashing the BCS: Conference USA. While C-USA doesn’t get much love, it has maintained two or three very good teams every year and has pulled some upsets – most notably East Carolina’s ...2009 NCAA Bowl Projections, Part Five: The Big East
Published on: 3rd December, 2009
We reach the halfway point of the BCS side in the 2009 Bowl Projection Series with the only remaining conference featuring an undefeated team: The Big East. They are the “Big Least” no more, as although it is the smallest of the BCS conferences, the Big East has three to five ...NCAA Bowl Projections, Part Four: The Western Athletic Conference
Published on: 2nd December, 2009
Continuing with the non-BCS half of the bowl projections, we get to the conference that will likely sneak a second “BCS Buster” berth into the big dance: The Western Athletic Conference. The WAC may be maligned as the no-defense league, but at the very top they’ve proven they can score enough ...2009 NCAA Bowl Projections, Part Three: The Big XII
Published on: 2nd December, 2009
The second team in the BCS half of the Conference-by-conference bowl projection series is the one likely to meet the SEC Champion in the BCS Championship Game: The Big 12. And yes, writing 12 is easier than XII, even though that may or may not be the official name of the ...Featured Sponsors
