    Big 12 – Oklahoma vs Oklahoma State Predictions

    There is no Big 12 championship game, so fans have to take the semi encounters they’re given.

    College Football Preseason Rankings Mean Nothing – 2013 Edition

    Every season there’s another example of how preseason polls are quite terrible at predicting who are actually the best teams in college football. Florida State, undefeated and number one heading into the conference championship game, were outside the top 10. Florida, who finish the season at 4-8 were the number 10 team in the nation when the polls came out.

    2013 BCS Standings – Week 14

    In the most anticipated BCS standings release of the season (before the one that will come out next week), it seems Ohio State have the inside track to the second berth in the BCS national championship game, leaving Auburn and Missouri on the outside and hoping for either the Buckeyes or Florida State to slip up in order to keep the SEC in the final of College Football.

    2013 College Football Season – Week 12 BCS Standings

    There’s no change in the higher reaches of the BCS Standings after week 13. Alabama and Florida State at the moment heading to the national championship game, Ohio State waiting for someone to fall. That simple? Not really, because the rise of Auburn to number 4 and of Missouri to number 5 really makes it a bit more complicated if either the Crimson Tide or the Seminoles mess up in the upcoming games.

    As expected, the top 25 of the BCS standings took a big hit and shake, as Florida State took a big step towards being in the national championship game with Alabama, distancing themselves at number 2 from the rest of the chasing pack, as things are quite close between Ohio State, Stanford and Baylor battling for third.

    2013 BCS Standings – Week 10

    Week 10 of the 2013 College Football season gave Florida State, by beating another top 10 opponent in Miami, a chance to move back into the number 2 spot, taking advantage of Oregon having a bye week before their biggest game of the season, which didn’t have any positional effect on Alabama, standing firm at the top of the BCS standings.

    2013 BCS Standings – Week 9

    While the clear dominance of Alabama in every possible college football ranking system, the big change in the second edition of the BCS Standings in the 2013 season is Oregon leapfrogging Florida State to the number two spot thanks to a win the computers loved over UCLA, while three new teams – Michigan, Notre Dame and Wisconsin make it into the top 25.

    Oregon Ducks – Not Only About Marcus Mariota & Offense

    There haven’t been many moments in recent years in which the Oregon Ducks got stuck on offense. But just in those cases, when Marcus Mariota is less than brilliant and is only very good, there’s an underrated defense that was able to hold the toughest rivals they faced this season scoreless during the second half.

    College Football – BCS Standing Not Really Shaken Up

    The losses of ranked and undefeated teams like Missouri and Texas Tech didn’t really change the national championship picture and don’t create too much of a shake up in the higher regions of the BCS standings, as the usual suspects to go all the way – Alabama, Oregon, Florida State and Ohio State didn’t really run into formidable opposition.

    Race for the BCS – When Will the Undefeated Teams Lose

    There are 10 teams remaining in College Football, as 8 of them are thinking about being among the top two in the BCS when this season is over. Alabama, Florida State and Oregon seem like the best bets for finishing in the top two when it’s all over, but even them have risky spots in the schedule that’s left for them to play which might take them off the path of a national title game.
