Certain colleges will always have an advantage. However, a few decades ago, would you have gone to Louisville? Would South Carolina been able to afford Spurrier? Would Virginia Tech have been able to pay an assistant coach over a million a year? The simple emergence of teams over the last couple dec...

It seems a down year for the ACC. It would seem that Clemson is it's only hope for redemption this year, and I think it's already proven that no ACC team is invincible this year. I'm not even sure there is going to be an ACC team worthy of the BCS at the end of the year. At the present only Clemson ...

Comparing the Pac-10 to the SEC for this year is not a good idea. The PAC-10 is a fragment of it's past self. The glory years of USC are slowly fading into the oblivion, Oregon may try to hold the banner for a few years, but it's very likely that the conference won't hold an undefeated team come Sun...

Every year I listen to someone shouting about how we should cut out bowls, and add a playoff system. I can remember a few decades ago when I was new to college football, and I screamed for a playoff. Then I realized that playoffs would diminish the strength of the bowls. Players would seek to go to ...

It looked more like a Florida St. team riddled with defensive injuries. NC St. got away with a lot of poor passing. Jump balls that their talented receivers managed to grab. I'm not trying to downplay NC St., they played a pretty solid game, but it took some help from Florida St. for them to be able...

If any team survives the SEC undefeated I think it will take care of itself. However, if an SEC & Big East team survive, add Ohio St or Michigan, and an undefeated USC team, it could get really ugly. With four legitimate undefeated teams. As far as a playoff system, I made a huge post under the ...

Iowa St barely beat northern Iowa last week, so I'm trying to figure out what your worried about. Granted 1-AA N. Iowa is one of the highest ranked AA schools, it's still mediocre compared to 1-A schools. I would also like to add that it's the things we don't see that blind side us, and knock the ba...

I have to agree Colorado can take Baylor. I'm hopeful Maryland upsets a Georgia Tech team that has waivered between Excellance and Excrement in the same game. I wouldn't bet against South Carolina right now. They played better than Auburn, and I think they are on the rise. Meanwhile I only have UTEP...

I won't make a season prediction for Arkansas. If you believe it can happen, then by god, GO ARKANSAS! After my team went down last week, I just don't much feel like criticizing anyones chances, nor causing negativity towards someones team.

The original reason the bowl series was expanded to the current format was to flood more programs with money to help make them competitive. The elite few were getting all the money every year. Teams couldn't afford the big fields with large fan capacities, so every recruit wanted to go play in the b...

If there is one part of the Hokies team I have not questioned, it's Bud Foster's defense. They are the only reason Va Tech has remained on the National Stage for so long. I like Beamer, and his special teams work, but if Foster ever decides to leave Blacksburg it's going to be a dark day in Hokie la...

I have Texas A&M ranked above Texas Tech in my computer poll. Not saying that means too much, I have Missouri, and Rutgers in my top ten, with Auburn 18th. Yeah, it's a computer poll based on statistics, not my personal opinion. It's based on a very radical formula that is producing results that...

Anywhere but Lane Standium I would give GT a good chance, but Lane Stadium is a very hostile environment. I think these teams are much closer than people imagine. It's going to be a dogfight, but I have VT pulling away late thanks to the 12th man, me, the fan. I have Texas A&M ranked above Texas...
