When it comes to college basketball, No. 2 Kansas has been arguably the most dominant team in a major conference in the nation. Kansas has won or shared the Big 12 title for six straight seasons and is looking to be on its way to a seventh. Kansas looked phenomenal against Baylor this past Monday but doesn't always blow out teams by 20 points. In my eyes, the Big 12 conference is the best conference in all of ...

As I walked past Dick Howser Stadium on my way to the gym today, the pop of a ball hitting a catchers mitt and John Fogerty’s Centerfield blaring from the speakers only meant one thing to me: It’s time for some Seminole baseball again! With opening day against Virginia Military Institute a little less than a month away, I figure now is as good a time as any to brush up on some of our ...

One of the toughest questions to answer in all of sports: how much does a coach impact a college football program?Do you judge them by wins and losses?By continued progress in a historically bad football college?How about their record in bowl games?Is the team taking care of business in the classroom?All of these questions must be brought up when assessing head coaches. The cream rises to the crop and while others bounce from job to ...

Jadeveon Clowney, the top-ranked high school football player in the country, remains undeclared and it's anyone's guess where he'll end up.  The tight-lipped Clowney is still reportedly down to Alabama and South Carolina as his favorites, but many reports indicated that Clemson, Ohio State and Florida State remain potential landing places for the impressive defensive end.  Clowney is one of the most impressive recruits out of high school that many scouts have ever seen. At ...

In what may have been the most confusing few days in a single recruitment, five-star defensive end Stephon Tuitt has given his pledge back to Brian Kelly and the Fighting Irish according to Irish Sports Daily.Tuitt, ranked among many recruiting services as a top pass-rusher, was originally an Irish verbal before an official to Georgia Tech last weekend. After feeling "comfortable" with the school, Tuitt and his teammate Demontevious Smith decided Georgia Tech was the ...

The Hokies are once again putting together a solid recruiting class.  Virginia Tech is never going to be the school that blows you away with the nation's best recruits.  Instead the coaches look for players they can plug into their system. The Hokies are also working with limited scholarships in 2011 because they can only have 85 scholarship players.  However, that's also a sign of a young team, which the Hokies remain, but they're young with ...

The Bowl Championship Series, or BCS, is the single most criticized thing in college football. When the BCS makes its selection, there are always one or two teams that are very unhappy. College football is a changing game that now revolves around money. The NCAA wouldn’t want a playoff system because of all the money it makes during the BCS with its bowl sponsors. But every other football league has a playoff system, so how can ...

Now, we have new head coaches joining the ranks of the elite as teams look for a BCS National Championship. Let’s take a look at 10 of the top coaches for the 2011 college football season.Begin Slideshow

Though there are undoubtedly a slew of question marks for the Red Raiders in 2011, filling the opening at defensive coordinator must top the list. Tommy Tuberville brought James Willis to Tech prior to the 2010 season to initiate a defensive revival in Lubbock, which for all practical purposes showed very few signs of actual promise. Tech finished its 2010 campaign ranked No. 86 overall in total defense (allowing 30.3 points per game), No. 66 ...

Tony Steward, the 5-star linebacker hailed as the position's most athletic player in the class of 2011, is reportedly down to three schools: Florida State, Clemson and UCLA. The 6'1'', 225-pound Steward is a force in stopping the run and has the athletic ability to hang with receivers and tight ends in passing coverage. Equally exceptional at outside or inside linebacker, Steward is undoubtedly likely to make an immediate impact wherever he ends up. At ...
