Baylor and Colorado have seldom found reasons to play dirty. But now that each is at the epicenter of rumored conference realignment in college football, the gloves have been taken off. No, make that ripped off and tossed to the farthest corner of the ring. The thing is, though, it seems ...Published on: 7th June, 2010
Rather than attempting to construct another article on conference expansion, I figured I'd try to avoid muddling the picture further (at least for a day) by giving you the option of wading through it all report by report and at your own discretion.

But, I gave it a whirl, doing my best ...Published on: 17th May, 2010
Last week, I constructed a slideshow that took a stab at assembling a list of teams whose potential accomplishments for the upcoming college football season included avoiding a single loss. This week, I play the role of Devil’s advocate, whereby I attempt to pinpoint the exact date and game when ...Published on: 10th May, 2010

Perfection in college football is an altogether rare feat. In any given season, only a severely limited number of teams are able to concoct the right combination of skill, mental toughness, health, and luck that is needed to avoid the myriad obstacles that line a 13- or 14-game season. And while ...
