  • Alabama Crimson Tide – The Easiest of Iron Bowls

    Alabama Crimson Tide – The Easiest of Iron Bowls

    Iron Bowls are supposed to be about hate, tight games and a lot of blood (metaphorical) spilled in order to beat your biggest rival, sometimes only to spoil their chances of winning something. Alabama expected something like that, but got no such thing in a 49-0 beat down.

  • Notre Dame Fighting Irish – Defense Shines in Perfect Season

    Notre Dame Fighting Irish – Defense Shines in Perfect Season

    The only undefeated team left, with something to play for. No one would have put their money on Notre Dame to be a huge success this season, let alone finish it undefeated and be the only team to clinch their spot in the BCS national championship game while the rest are still battling for their place in their pecking order.

  • College Football – Final BCS Picture Not Much Clearer

    College Football – Final BCS Picture Not Much Clearer

    The only thing we do know, is that the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will be playing in the BCS National Championship game in Miami six weeks from now. The rest? Hard to say, but there’s an almost definite chance that the winner of the SEC championship game between Georgia and Alabama will be the team to join them in the battle for the title.

  • 2012 College Football Season – Week 13 Predictions

    2012 College Football Season – Week 13 Predictions

    Rivalry week, week 13 of College Football. It comes down to a hobbled and disappointing USC Trojans team, the number one preseason pick, to try and stop the Notre Dame Fighting Irish from reaching the BCS Championship game. Alabama and Georgia are next in line, with a good chance of dueling for the second spot in the SEC title game, while Oregon and Florida wait (hoping to win) for a slip up.

  • SEC – Terrible Week 12 Schedule of the Best Conference in College Football

    SEC – Terrible Week 12 Schedule of the Best Conference in College Football

    The SEC have the last six national titles to claim as being the best conference in College Football. Year after year, their out of conference schedule often looks quite terrible, as Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, Georgia, Auburn, Texas A&M and Kentucky have all scheduled FCS opponents on week 12.

  • West Virginia Mountaineers – Worst Defense in College Football

    West Virginia Mountaineers – Worst Defense in College Football

    What about the team that started 5-0? What about Geno Smith for the Heisman Trophy award? For now, West Virginia are on a four game losing streak, conceding at least 39 points in each of their defeats with a player from the opposition going on to win the Big 12’s offensive player of the week each time.

  • 2012 College Football Season – Week 11 BCS Standings

    2012 College Football Season – Week 11 BCS Standings

    For the first time this season, a new number one. The Week 10 BCS Standings feature the Kansas State Wildcats as the number one team in the nation, with Oregon coming in at second. What does this mean for Notre Dame, also undefeated? Unless Oregon and/or Kansas State lose, there’s a very small chance the Fighting Irish make the national championship game.

  • 2012 College Football Season – Week 11 Rankings

    2012 College Football Season – Week 11 Rankings

    Thanks to Texas A&M, the AP Top 25 of week 11 is a little less complicated, as Alabama lose for the first time this season and drop to fourth, while Oregon take over the number one spot in the nation, followed by Kansas State and Notre Dame, gathering tough wins to keep them undefeated and on course for a national title game.

  • Texas A&M Aggies – The Growing Legend of Johnny Manziel

    Texas A&M Aggies – The Growing Legend of Johnny Manziel

    Freshman quarterbacks aren’t supposed to be this good, and hardly ever win big, huge games. Not against number one teams. But Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M is something else, leading the Aggies to one of the biggest BCS busters of the year, taking down #1 Alabama in what might cost an SEC team not just an undefeated season, but the national title for the first time in seven years.

  • College Football – Only Three Undefeated Teams Left

    College Football – Only Three Undefeated Teams Left

    After week 11, only three teams are left undefeated in College Football, and none of them are from the SEC. Oregon continued to put on huge offensive numbers with a win over California; Notre Dame put in another defensive clinic against lowly Boston College while Kansas State kept rolling with a 23-10 win in TCU. Alabama and Louisville lost for the first time this season.
