Florida State Seminoles – Even Without Jameis Winston, Still Very Strong
It’s hard to measure, statistically, just how important one player is to a team. Jameis Winston is a big reason why Florida State are the number one team in the country, one win away from reaching the BCS national championship game. However, even without his touchdowns as a passer or running them in, it would still be a very good season for the Seminoles.

South Carolina Gamecocks – Connor Shaw Finishes Career With Perfect Home Record
When Connor Shaw leaves the University of South Carolina and hopefully gets into the NFL via a very late pick or even undrafted, he won’t have a national or conference title to show. No BCS Bowls he played in. Nothing that really stands out. But digging deeper shows a remarkable collegiate career for a player that’s been injured quite a lot, and still made the most of what was given to him, highlighted by going 17-0 at home as a starter.

UConn Huskies – Shabazz Napier Needs to Thank DeAndre Daniels
Obviously, Shabazz Napier, maybe the best senior left in College Basketball, got most of the praise for leading Connecticut to a 65-64 win over Florida, remaining undefeated in a slightly surprising start to the season. However, his buzzer beating shot wouldn’t have been possible if it wasn’t for DeAndre Daniels saving the day and tipping the ball his way.

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.

BCS National Championship Game – Ohio State Deserve it More Than Auburn or Missouri
Even if the BCS isn’t a fair system, you at least expect it to be consistent. However, the mayhem of rivalry week suddenly means that Ohio State, who have gone 12-0 for a second consecutive season might be hurt by the prejudice against the Big Ten and the infatuation with the SEC, which will allow Missouri or Auburn, the surprising division champions in the conference, a ticket to the BCS national championship game, probably against Florida State.

Missouri Tigers – Biggest Surprise of The SEC
While the rise of Auburn in the SEC West is quite stunning, it’s even more surprising to see Missouri coming out with only one loss from the SEC East, a year after joining the conference and looking like a team that’s going to need a lot more time before they adjust to realignment. Their 28-21 win over Texas A&M puts them in the conference championship game, something no one would have imagined when this season began.

Auburn Tigers – The Field Goal That Changed an Entire Season
The 2013 Iron Bowl can be summed up with one play – Nick Saban needlessly sending Adam Griffith to kick a 57 yard field goal. He missed, Chris Davis catches it, returning it 109 yards for the touchdown and the 35-28 Auburn win, making a huge difference in the SEC, BCS and national championship picture just as time expires. But a game like this is much bigger than just one play or sentence.

Ohio State Buckeyes – Tyvis Powell Saved Their Season
With all of the big names Ohio State had to offer – Urban Meyer on the sidelines, Braxton Miller at quarterback, Carlos Hyde busting through the middle and speedy receiver Devin Smith, it came down to a freshman cornerback, Tyvis Powell, to make what might turn out to be the biggest play of the season for the Buckeyes, intercepting a Devin Gardner pass to deny a 2-point conversion and keep his team undefeated with a 42-41 win.

Florida State Seminoles – The Only Team With Nothing to Worry About
As the dust from rivalry week settles, Florida State remain unscathed, undefeated, and the only team no one has a doubt about when it comes to their place in the national championship game. They’ve added a 37-7 win over Florida with yet another Heisman-worthy performance from Jameis Winston, and are still waiting for the one team to test them, something that hasn’t happened this season.

Duke Blue Devils – It Can’t Get Better Than This, Can It?
It’s hard enough thinking about Duke as a successful football program, making it to the ACC championship game for the first time in school history thanks to a 27-25 win over North Carolina, securing their first ever 10-win season. The Blue Devils have a chance to be major players in the national title picture if […]
