Anyone want to know what is more fun than going and watching your team play on Saturday afternoons?  How about going to watch your team play in someone else’s house!  While there is a lot to be said for attending home games, there is just as much you can say about attending a road game.  Home games pretty much offer the same thing every week.  You might see some subtle changes, but mostly ...

It's almost time for the 2010 season to begin, but first, we'll take a look at a rather eventful offseason that's transpired since Northwestern's heartbreaking overtime loss to Auburn in the Outback Bowl on January 1st. First, National Signing Day came on February 3rd and Northwestern inked another solid recruiting class that met Coach Fitzgerald's stringent requirements for attributes on and off the playing field. The list of incoming freshmen include some potential starting offensive ...

More than most sports, college football stadiums have as much of an impact as any one player can have. Whether a team is just naturally unbeatable at home, is really strong, or plays very weak competition at home, an undefeated year at home is a very big accomplishment, especially for a team looking to make an impact on the national stage. And as we head into 2010, we have so many unknowns with a great amount of ...

With the addition of Nebraska, will the Big 10 challenge the SEC as the strongest conference in college football?  Nebraska, which joins the Big 10 in 2011, brings with them five National Championships and is one of only seven 1A programs with 800 wins. The SEC, which has won the last four BCS Championships and 50 percent of all BCS Championships, is clearly the best conference in college football.  The SEC's reign as the leading conference in college ...

The 2010 Georgia football schedule is quite favorable on the surface. However, if you look a little deeper there are some potential pitfalls along the way. With this in mind, let’s dissect the Georgia schedule and see what it has in store for the Dawgs. The first and most obvious element of the 2010 schedule: the Bulldogs play eleven games in a row ending with major rival Auburn. That is certainly not a positive aspect of ...

James Wilder is an outstanding athlete out of Plant High School in Tampa, FL. He's also considered one of the top recruiting prospects in the nation. Every Division I school in the country wants to get its hands on him, and he's received over 90 offers thus far. That said, he's narrowed his options to five lucky suitors: Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, and Alabama and every last one of ...

Former Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli—dismissed from the program by Duck head coach Chip Kelly for a series of bad decisions and a couple of run-ins with legal authorities—has reportedly finished his undergraduate degree requirements at Oregon, allowing the possibility of his transfer to another FBS school with the ability to play football this season. According to Steve Andress of KEZI News in Eugene, Oregon, Masoli has recently had contact with the Houston Nutt-led Ole Miss Rebels. As ...

There have been some marquee wide receivers to come out of the college ranks over the last decade. It is way too early, and perhaps a bit too speculative, to classify the last decade as that of the wide receiver. In a sport dominated by quarterbacks and running backs, the wide receiver is now a centerpiece of the passing game. Every team covets one, if not more than one, elite wide receiver. This list represents 25 ...

I usually only write about Ohio State football, but occasionally I like "talking shop" about college football in general. As fall camps and the start of the 2010 college football season nears, I made a few changes to an article I had previously posted here on B/R, and this is the end result. I figured, where's the harm in getting a bit more mileage out of this topic, eh? These, in my opinion, are the ...

Before you check out my updated list of 2011's top 15 recruiting classes, make sure to skim through June's edition. It introduces the foundations of many of these classes and provides a context for what's changed in the past month and a half. (Also be sure to check out fellow B/R writer Michael Pinto's assessment of the top 10 classes for another take). Now that you've done that, you're free to examine which teams crack the current ...
