  • Oklahoma & Ohio State One Win Away From The BCS Bowl Sweep

    Oklahoma & Ohio State One Win Away From The BCS Bowl Sweep

    Two of the most successful college football programs during the BCS era (and way before that as well) are Oklahoma and Ohio State. The Sooners are going to play in the Sugar Bowl, Ohio State in the Orange Bowl. Both can claim at least one win in each of the BCS bowls if they are victorious this year.

    2013 College Football Season – Final BCS Standings

    The latest edition of the BCS standings isn’t just the last one for the 2013 College Football season, but the final top 25 we’ll ever get to see, as the sport moves on to a playoff system instead of polls + computer rankings to determine the two teams to make the national championship game. By the way, no surprise there, as Florida State and Auburn finish at 1-2, heading to play for the Crystal ball.

  • The 2013-2014 College Football Bowl Season

    The 2013-2014 College Football Bowl Season

    With the final BCS standings coming out, we have ourselves a BCS national championship game between Florida State and Auburn. The rest of the BCS games? Ohio State and Clemson in the Orange Bowl; Baylor and UCF in the Fiesta Bowl; Alabama and Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl; and Michigan State playing Stanford in the […]

  • College Football – Final Top 25 Rankings of the Regular Season

    College Football – Final Top 25 Rankings of the Regular Season

    The final AP Poll of the regular season doesn’t really surprise anyone – Florida State and Auburn are the only team with first place votes, and all likely will be the programs that head into the national championship game. The rest of the top 25 simply signifies the chances of other schools to make it to the other BCS bowls, unless some conference affiliation has already taken care of that.

  • Oklahoma Sooners – The More Quarterbacks The Better

    Oklahoma Sooners – The More Quarterbacks The Better

    This is what rivalry games were made for – not to win championships, but to ruining the chance of getting there. Oklahoma had only the motivation of spoiling it for Oklahoma State, but it was enough to pull off the upset 33-24 win in Stillwater, getting a great cameo appearance off the bench by Blake Bell, one of fourth quarterbacks used by the Sooners, and a huge all-around performance from Jalen Saunders, getting things done as a receiver, rusher and punt returner.

  • Baylor Bears – Big 12 Champions For The First Time

    Baylor Bears – Big 12 Champions For The First Time

    It’s been a very long time since Baylor won a conference championship – 19 years to be exact. It was hard for some people to see them hosting Texas as the favorites for what turned into the Big 12 championship game, but things have changed since Art Briles has taken over the program, lifting it to new heights through Bryce Petty and a surprisingly efficient defense, taking the program to the Fiesta Bowl and a BCS one in general for the first time.

  • Auburn Tigers – Keeping SEC Tradition Alive

    Auburn Tigers – Keeping SEC Tradition Alive

    Despite the whole country being sick and tired of SEC teams making their way into the national championship game, the best conference in college football is sending another team to try and win the BCS, with Auburn proving they deserve every accolade and other trophy they might win, beating Missour in the conference title game, while Tre Mason set a number of individual records to cap off an exceptional 2013.

  • Michigan State – Perfection Going Down The Drain

    Michigan State – Perfection Going Down The Drain

    Defense is always the less impressive thing, but Ohio State came into the Big Ten championship game with some pretty impressive offensive numbers to back them up, not to mention a 24-0 record over the last two years. The end result? Michigan State, their first top 10 opponent in that time span, were simply too good, and while the Spartans head over to the Rose Bowl, the Buckeyes saw their national championship dreams destroyed, now left to hope their get an at-large BCS invite.

    College Football – BCS Standings Mess All Cleared Up

    No more debated, arguments or discussions. Auburn winning the SEC championship game against Missouri, Michigan State beating Ohio State for the Big Ten title and Florida State doing what they were supposed to against Duke seals the BCS national championship game picture, which should be the Seminoles against the Tigers, while despite having just one loss, teams like the Spartans and Baylor will have to play for a lesser BCS Bowl.

  • Baylor Bears – Exposing Just How Overrated Kentucky Are

    Baylor Bears – Exposing Just How Overrated Kentucky Are

    The more this season progresses, the more we learn about just how overrated this Kentucky team is, looking quite less impressive when they face other ranked teams, like Baylor in the most recent example. Julius Randle might be a very special player, but the rest of his teammates and coaches might not be, putting in a poor effort while Baylor dominated the boards and played like a team that knows a lot more about itself than the Wildcats do.
