It appears the NCAA has dropped the ball again on this case. No reason to shorten the penalty. http://sportales.com/football/ncaa-shortens-ohio-state-players-suspensions/ No way they should shorten the penalty, it is already way too short. When Akron's QB found himself in a similar spot in 2009 he ...

Akron is looking to recruit guys that will fit a pro-style offense and a 4-3 defense, since the schemes have changed since the hiring of Rob Ianello and canning of JD Brookhart. In 2010, guys being uncomfortable showed but it was also clear that the team improved as the season went on. Even though t...

No, a playoff is financially feasible for the schools. They would make more money by having 54 teams not go to post season. A ton more money. It would be hard on the fans who travel and the logistics would have to change, but the money would be great. I meant that the public would have trouble acce...

Oh..Miami of Ohio told me everything I needed to know about them (and the MAC). They are the big goldfish in their pond but get eaten by the Koi in the larger pond. When you are dominant against non AQ teams and are absolutely whipped by every AQ team on your schedule...it says, LOUDLY, that there ...

Don't you think the rankings have more to do with the past years of being good than this year. Yes, I do. That is one of the primary reasons that I think rankings, especially those compiled by human opinion, are largely bogus. There are all kinds of biases running throughout them, not the least of ...

The point I was attempting to make though was that when it comes to scheduling games OOC that conferences like the MAC don't schedule any more lightweights than most of the BCS conference schools do. In fact, a school like Ohio State scheduled two MAC schools and a CUSA team, all at home. A school l...

Once again this year I will change my avatar or logo to represent the team that wins their bowl game that I most expected to lose when looking at my confidence points in the Bowl pick 'em. Anyone care to join me? This year I lost my 35 point confidence game when Army beat SMU, so for the next month ...

How close will Northern Illinois be to the Top 25 to start 2011? Many seem to think they may make the cut.

Obviously this is subject to change, but I can't resist to make baseless predictions and look forward to the fall of 2011. Here's what I've got (not going to explain every placement, but will if asked why Team A is ahead of Team B :D ): 1. Auburn/Oregon (mixture depending on who wins the game Monda...

Florida was not good this year...but neither bwas Penn State. but yet they play in New Year's Day bowl games along with a team like Michigan that isn't even good enough to retain their head coach while nationally ranked and 11-1 schools like Nevada and Boise State got much lesser-teir bowl assignme...

What about the other conferences? If numbers are down for conferences like the MAC in this category then that may be farther proof that teams are scheduling too many FCS teams. Then again, not sure how much it matters since poll voted rankings are really an inprecise measure of performance with a la...

This may be my favorite year ever for BCS matchups. In all of this year's BCS bowls none of the teams have ever beaten their opponent in school history. Auburn and Oregon have never played each other. Virginia Tech and Stanford have never played each other. Ohio State and Arkansas have never played ...

I believe that TCU deserves to be in the BCS. I believe TCU can go toe to toe with just about every team in the nation. That being said, in my opinion, the worst possible team for TCU to be matched up against is Wisconsin. Everybody in the national media is saying that today's Rose Bowl will answer ...

I have taken some serious lumps today. I seem to be losing my big point games all of the sudden. Good to see my real game picking identity has reappeared.

That was a very good bowl game to be sure and it certainly helped me in bowl picks standings. I still think the Little Caesars Bowl may have my vote for best bowl game so far this year though. Toledo scoring with 1:30 left to apparently tie the game with the PAT but opting instead to go for two, mak...
