So I'm sitting here and I'm wondering, what is up with this college football season? Injuries. Upsets. Boise State in the top 5. It's like no other season in the history of college football. Oh, wait, it's not. Come to think of it, injuries and upsets have been happening fairly regularly. Injuries? Ever hear of Tony Pike, the underrated offensive leader of Cincinnati? You may not have EVER known his name if injuries hadn't sidelined the two QB's he was backing ...

Here is a little trivia question for all you college football fans. I am going to list the winning percentages of all the BCS Conferences for the past five years. I want you to tell me which winning percentage belongs to which conference. Here are the rules: The conferences involved are BCS Conferences - ACC, Big East, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 10, SEC The winning percentages involve ONLY inter-conference play, such as when an ACC team plays ...

Michigan State and their fans do not understand why the Michigan Wolverines do not give them respect. Every year, according to State, Michigan looks past the game and does not take it seriously. Has anyone actually watched the football games over the years? Since 2000, Michigan has beaten Michigan State seven out of nine times. The two losses? Everyone remembers "Spartan Bob" and the one-second magical play. State also won last year, when everyone beat Michigan and they ...

On Saturday, Michigan takes it's first road trip in 2009. They really don't have to go very far for their annual meeting with intrastate rival Michigan State. This is always the game for bragging rights within the state of Michigan. Looking at the records of the two teams, the Wolverines are 4-0 and the Spartans are 1-3. Therefore Michigan should have no problem disposing of Michigan State, right? Not so fast. The reality is—there is still question as ...

It was supposed to be one of the most heated Heisman races in college football history. Sam Bradford, Tim Tebow, and Colt McCoy came into the season with high expectations for not only their respective teams, but for themselves as well. Unfortunately, two of these three quarterbacks have been dealt significant blows to their Heisman campaigns. In Oklahoma's season opener to BYU, Sam Bradford suffered a sprained ACL joint in his throwing arm after falling on his arm ...

With the rising success of numerous FBS teams not affiliated to the BCS, it's inevitable that these teams will have to switch conferences to give themselves a better shot at a national championship. Let's face it, the BCS isn't going anywhere, no matter how flawed it is or how many fans are clamoring for its dismissal. The system simply generates too much money for the BCS conferences and their teams. There has been much talk about expansion ...

I am not one to make excuses.  I generally do not write biased garbage like a lot of super fans do, but last week's game against Virgina Tech was a complete washout. It was not the same Hurricanes we were accustomed to watching.  Jacory had a heck of a time with the wet football and they just couldn't get on track. Wet football?  I can hear all you haters now calling me out for making excuses, but ...

1. Alabama (4-0)They have a stout defense. They have a powerful running attack led by Mark Ingram. They have beaten quality teams like Virginia Tech and SEC rival Arkansas. And their new quarterback Greg McElroy has been fantastic; completing 67.7 percent of his passes for seven touchdowns and only one interception.2. Florida (4-0)I do not think that Florida is the No. 1 team, nor do I think that Tim Tebow is the second-coming of Christ. ...

A common occurrence among college football fans is the discussion regarding the best conferences in football. Whether you're an SEC guy, Big 12 man, or Pac-10 fan, you, the fan, know who's best. But what happens if you're a fan of a smaller conference? Say the Sun Belt? You know you're not close to being the best, but are you truly the worst? Many people emphatically will choose yes, but perception is not reality. Perception: I've never heard ...

Dayne Crist officially has his own Notre Dame football era, and it began at the 14:50 mark of the second quarter of last Saturday's game versus Purdue. Yes, Jimmy Clausen, with his 3,300 career passing yards, remains the unquestioned starter. But Crist announced his presence with authority at Ross Ade Stadium and Notre Dame fans have reason to believe in life after Jimmy.It’s time to consider the Era of The Great Dayne.  “And here he ...
