College Football: Bobby Johnson’s Resignation Leaves Vanderbilt in Tough Spot
At first, I wasn't sure how to feel when I heard that Bobby Johnson was stepping down from coaching less than two months before the season starts against Northwestern. It's a difficult position that Vandy now finds itself in, if it wasn't already hard enough. The timing is horrible, but the reason is not. According to Johnson himself, he decided to call it quits because "football isn't life, it's a way of life". ...

109,901 In The Big House: What It Means For Michigan Football

SEC Football 2010: An Outsider’s Perspective
The winner of the SEC championship game has won the BCS championship for the past four years. (Florida, LSU, Florida, Alabama). This year may be no different.
Whether the SEC is the best conference in college football can be debated by some, but numbers speak for themselves and in the time of the BCS no other conference has been more dominant taking home six of the first 11 BCS titles.
With the Big 12 in shambles, ...

Big Ten Football Preview: Ohio State Leads the Pack
Our preseason preview moves on to the Big Ten. Here are links to the first three installments on the SEC , Big 12 and ACC if you missed them.
If we are going to call the Big 12 the Big 12-2, I suppose we can start referring to the Big Ten as the Big 11+1. Does it matter? I personally feel like the Big Ten is in a highly interesting ...
ACC Football Preview: This Year’s Most Curious Conference
The ACC remains a curious case. The overall talent level within the conference is on par with the Big 12 and Pac 10, but the ACC has continued to struggle on the national stage. Since Boston College joined as the 12th team in 2005, the six ACC Champions have yet to make an appearance in the BCS Championship game and only one of them (2008 Virginia Tech) went on to win their BCS Bowl ...
