Since I know you’re like me and loathe the BCS, I figured I’d combat it by making a breakdown of what to watch, and what to skip– because thankfully this system has given us some horrific matchups. So, how to break it down and keep things interesting? You’ll see. I’m not going to look at… [Read more…]

And it’s not just the BCS. Ranking teams should not happen until at least the 4th week. Why? Because teams fall off the map early (read: Virginia Tech), while others severely outperform expectations (read: MSU/UofM).

Okay, let’s be honest. No one likes Ohio State. Their mascot looks like a turd with eyes in a sweater. I mean, really, how do you personify a buckeye? The correct way is to turn to something completely irrelevant to your school’s nickname and make that your mascot. See Stanford: Okay, maybe not the best… [Read more…]

Man, I can’t remember the last time the Battle for the Megaphone was a blowout, in fact, the last time the game was decided by more than 20 points was 1999. In recent memory, I’ve got to say that this is one of the best, most even rivalries in college football (that involves good teams).… [Read more…]
