If you love SEC football then the past four seasons have been magical. Starting with Urban Meyer’s Florida Gators in 2006, the chant of S-E-C has been heard at the conclusion of the past four BCS Championship Games. Last year, it was Alabama handing Texas a 37-21 decision for the Tide’s ...Published on: 6th July, 2010
Alabama’s Mark Ingram and Ohio State’s Terrelle Pryor are both considered Heisman favorites entering the 2010 season. But they have something else in common … neither are among the best home run hitters in College Football. Shocked? You shouldn’t be. While both players are outstanding and each may lead their respective ...Published on: 29th June, 2010
It used to be every college coach was looking for the next Dan Marino or Peyton Manning. You know the type—big, strapping, prototypical quarterbacks who can zip the football down the field.

Predicting the future of college football right now is about as easy as guessing when the BP oil spill saga will end for the folks of the Gulf Coast. Think about it. About eight to 10 days ago almost any informed fan would have said the Pac-10 was more than likely ...Published on: 15th June, 2010
Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott took a big gamble by going after six Big 12 teams. It netted him Colorado, but not the other five.

Now, if your team is on the outside ...Published on: 8th June, 2010
How many times have you heard a coach say, “If we win the turnover battle we’ll win the game”? Thanks coach. But don't shun those cliche-spewing coaches just yet. Take a look at last year’s Top 10 (really 11 since North Texas, Purdue and Minnesota all tied for 10th) teams in most ...Published on: 5th June, 2010
College football expansion has become a lot clearer. Texas is in the driver’s seat (sorry Notre Dame) and everybody else is waiting to see where the chosen one decides to go. The Longhorns’ decision will impact the Big 12 (what’s left of it), but it will also reverberate throughout the college ...Published on: 26th May, 2010
I've attended a few Ohio Bobcat football games over the past 18 years. Almost every time I've had a great time. Mid-American football isn't top shelf, but it's underrated. But what I received in today's mail—something very similar to this photo—is a tough sell, folks. Here's what it says: MAC East Champs ...Published on: 24th May, 2010
To the casual college football fan, the only championship that matters is the BCS Championship. Any real fan will tell you that winning a conference title is the first step toward a bigger prize. Even non-BCS teams have hope now. Just ask Boise State, TCU, and Utah. Of course, they have ...
