Last summer, with a new college football season on the horizon as we headed into late July, the very week before fall camp opened, I wrote an article summing up the two most over-rated programs inside the BCS era.Michigan certainly qualified, as Wolverine Nation quickly tired of a Lloyd Carr era fittingly described as the under-achieving all-stars. Tennessee was the other team that earned the dubious and dreaded under-achieving tab, and if the restlessness and ill contempt on display inside ... Read Full Story

If you want to run a report on the SEC Conference, a likely starting place is Tuscaloosa, considering their rich history and tradition. But, life inside the BCS era hasnt been good to the Crimson Tide. A once proud program under the direction of legendary coach Bear Bryant, the boys from Bama-ville have won 12 national titles, 25 conference championships and 21 SEC championships. The program holds NCAA records with 55 post-season bowl appearances, winning 31 bowl games, and has recorded (2... Read Full Story

Last season, I wrote an interesting piece sensationalizing the bumbling, stumbling and fumbling opening weekend of the college football season, where there were only about a half a dozen interesting intersectional match-ups that actually wetted our appetite, especially considering we were coming off of 8 months of football hibernation.2008 will start with a bang as the opening weekend has a plethora of outstanding competitions, and the good part is, the second weekend looks even better. As a... Read Full Story

Crunching the Numbers: This past August, when even Notre Dame, Alabama and Texas A&M were dreaming of BCS bowl itineraries, I stumbled upon a unique grading component which I believe gives us a pretty accurate analysis of the successfulness of the regular season, called the Quality Opponent Factor (QOF-Rating). The only draw back is we have to wait until the end of the season, and by then, even before the final BCS bowl games commence, much of the nation has already turned their attentio... Read Full Story

As if the convoluted BCS Ranking system isnt bad enough, I recently got into a bit of a spat with Dawg Sports author, T. Kyle King over on the SB Nation Network.Before I dive right into giving my take on his Resume Ranking system, which is the operational methodology invoked by M-Go-Blogs author, who runs the Blog-Poll, Id like to say that T. Kyle King, next to Sunday Morning Quarterback, is one of my favorite writers on the net.Sports Illustrated has Stewart Mandel, CBS Sports has Dennis Dod... Read Full Story

Another college football season is quickly fading into history, and yet, the more things change in college football, the more they remain the same. Lloyd Carr and his much maligned, sloth-footed Wolverines, shredded the speedy Gators yesterday and for all the hype we are constantly bombarded with from the major networks (ESPN, CBS Sports and Sports Illustrated) regarding SEC Speed, the conference is a marginal 11-9 this year against the other slow footed, and equally dim witted BCS Conferenc...

Whenever a college football fan brings up the ill-fated playoff word in front of the administrative Godfathers who control the sport via their self-serving monopoly, you can bet the administrative bigwigs will quickly stomp out the playoff fire with the often used rebuttal (ace in the hole) how will the fans be able to attend from week-to-week because they will be traveling cross-country to the events?This is certainly the million dollar question, but if we begin to think like the late Tom Mi...

University of Oregon football coach Mike Bellotti mentioned last year that he didnt think the Cougars of BYU would fare as well inside the PAC-10 Conference as they have inside the confines of the Mountain West. Given the fact that Oregon used to be well below the Cougars within the college football organizational hierarchy when coach Bellotti arrived in Eugene nearly 15 seasons ago, I found this statement to be a little obtuse. The statement postured by Bellotti is but a microcosm of the ove... Read Full Story
