(I wrote in my weekly "Five Strikes" piece about Boise State's case for getting people off their back about their easy schedule. This is the truth about why Boise schedules the way they do, why they can't schedule who you want them to, and why they will continue to tick ...Published on: 16th October, 2009
Boise State managed to sneak out of the state of Oklahoma with a 28-21 victory over the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. Going forward, they now have to deal with talk about whether they deserved all the talk for the national championship game they received the past three weeks. At the same ...Published on: 9th October, 2009
We're at the time of season when the legitimate national title contenders are taking a step forward and making themselves known. Also, when the pretenders are starting to drop like flies: see Oklahoma, who lost a nail-biter to Miami down in South Florida. The game was a huge win for the ...Published on: 1st October, 2009
So I guess, maybe Ole Miss wasn't as great as anyone was expecting. In all, I think it's probably better for the Rebels, who have always seemed to be the kind of team that plays better when there are no true expectations for them. We've got some big time movers and ...Published on: 29th September, 2009

With LSU taking on a tough, explosive Georgia Bulldog team, USC and Cal duking it out, and Oklahoma traveling to Miami, the ...Published on: 18th September, 2009

So many teams made statements last weekend, none bigger than USC in their last-minute win ...Published on: 15th September, 2009
So I'm watching the tape-delay version of the Boise State-Miami of Ohio game on ESPN 360, and I've already been struck by a few dozen things. First, though, I just wanted to take time to savor and appreciate BSU's 48-0 win that featured that signature explosive Boise State offense that is ...Published on: 9th September, 2009
As much movement as there was in the top 25, the most drastic shakin' and bakin' could be seen in the top ten. As you saw from the previous ten teams, Oklahoma and Virginia Tech both put forth performances worthy of dropping out of the top ten. That allowed a couple ...Published on: 8th September, 2009
This past weekend turned out to be one of the most exciting opening weekends in college football in quite some time. There were upsets (BYU over Oklahoma), blowouts (USC 56, San Jose State 3), and nail-biters (Iowa over Northern Iowa). Best of all, there were more than a handful of ...Published on: 8th September, 2009
Less than a week after the Broncos put a serious hurt on the Oregon Ducks, it's becoming obvious that the 19-8 drubbing will be more known for the right hook LeGarrette Blount threw, than the Broncos victory. Much like the 2006 Fiesta Bowl performance, the Broncos dominating style of play ...
