Florida State’s one big problem

On Twitter @TheStudentSect Author @TheCoachBart Florida State football has a problem if it plans on playing in the CFB Playoff extravaganza here in about a month and a half. When you think about it, we change very little in our basic reasoning from the moment we become old enough to understand right and wrong and […]

Poll Dancing: Playoff Projections, Week MINNESOTA

Follow TSS On Twitter @TheStudentSect Author @TheCoachBart Like a meal you really wanted to have at a place you really wanted to eat, we got to the end pretty damn quickly, didn’t we? There are only two more weeks of college football … really only one full regular season weekend … and then it’s off […]

Monday should be a day of change at Michigan

Follow TSS On Twitter @TheStudentSect Author @TheCoachBart Like a gal walking into a room with a group of her friends knowing the guy she’s dating is cheating on her, it’s probably time to be honest. Monday’s the day for Michigan football. It’s better for everyone to move on. Interim athletic director Jim Hackett has already […]

Just play the damn game, Texas and A&M

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Follow the author @TheCoachBart Just play the damn game. Seriously, sack up and just play it, Texas and Texas A&M. A report surfaced from Fox Sports by way of HornsDigest.com savant Chip Brown this week that SEC officials would prefer Texas A&M and Texas … who could conceivably meet in […]

Ole Miss thumped the Blue Hose of Presbyterian two weeks ago, one of many SEC-FCS tilts late in the season that while don’t look like they’re worth looking at on television, are part of a brilliant SEC scheduling design that has bode very well for the conference in recent years.

Sly scheduling, Mike Slive: The brilliance of SEC football’s Cupcake Saturday Setup

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Follow the author @TheCoachBart If you take a little looksie at the college football schedule this week, you’ll notice something missing: SEC games worth watching. That’s right, one of the nation’s two most scrutinized conferences will spend the second to last full week of the season with four games against […]

Will Muschamp at Florida a lesson in failed relationships

Follow TSS @TheStudentSect Author on Twitter @TheCoachBart Relationships in life … all of them, from picking your next girlfriend to picking your next doctor to picking your next head football coach at Florida … they all follow the same path. Try as you might, you can’t get away from that psychological fate. It can’t even […]

Poll Dancing: Playoff Projections 7

Follow TSS @TheStudentSect Follow the author @TheCoachBart “The Culling” is a horror movie set to release in Spring of 2015, and I can’t really put a stamp of approval on it until we get a bit closer to the point where I can, you know, watch it. Side note, if you like you some horror […]

Being Florida State: Miami just the next victim on the FSU clutch tour

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Author at @TheCoachBart Someone send Zak Bagans into the Florida State locker room. Whatever sort of seances they do there at halftime are worth at least a hour on the Travel Channel. Down 23-10 with an (Al) Golden opportunity to mentally wound Miami if they simply had scored going into […]

Arizona State was a step ahead of Notre Dame for most of a warm Saturday afternoon. Being inhabitants of the desert, the Sun Devils knew how to handle the heat when Notre Dame uncorked a 28-0 run and came close to pulling off an all-time comeback. Arizona State has often allowed big games to slip away over the years. The Sun Devils’ ability to stabilize themselves in the final 6:37 of Saturday’s game showed that they’re made of sterner stuff, a reality created in large part by head coach Todd Graham.

Don’t get riled up over the playoff committee yet … but some troubling trends exist

Follow TSS @TheStudentSect On Twitter @TheCoachBart Telling sports fans not to overreact or freak out is like telling water to stop being wet, but we’ll go ahead and do it anyway regarding the CFB Playoff rankings that came out last night. Don’t freak out. It doesn’t matter yet. It’s all still in front of us. […]

SEC squeezed out of title game? Possible. And then … DOOM.

Follow TSS @TheStudentSect On Twitter @TheCoachBart I know Halloween was last week, but I’m going to let you in on a few horrifying realities. The first will make you question humanity in general. The second will make you question the direction of college football. First, did you know there are 5,472,526 people who “Like” Flo […]

Poll Dancing, Playoff Projections 6

Follow TSS @TheStudentSect On Twitter @TheCoachBart There’s an old truth in life to men: anything can be figured out in a corner bar over a few pitchers of beer. Any problem, issue, fight, women talk, whatever … you can get through it if you just commit to hunkering down at the watering hole with unlimited […]

Meet Ohio State. Playoff contender.

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect Straight, no chaser. Ohio State came into Michigan State’s house, sat down on the couch next to his girl, and started doing shots of whiskey with his arm around her while he sat across the room and fumed. Welcome to the playoff race, Ohio State. The Buckeyes wandered into […]

Sparty, The Bucks, and a conference title that should matter

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect It’s a Big Ten “playoff for the playoff” this weekend in East Lansing, which I guess is the way this whole playoff thing was supposed to make us feel (what with its devaluing of the regular season or maybe not doing that), but who really knows? Regardless of the […]

It’s Time, College Football Fans: Hashtag #BoycottCollegeGameDay

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect Hashtag Boycott College GameDay. Or #BoycottCollegeGameDay. I’m serious, if you are. Imagine the scene for those of you that actually watch ESPN’s College GameDay with any regularity. The three or four guys wake up, get out of their truck all chock-full of fresh makeup and coffee, assume their normal […]

Poll Dancing: Playoff projections 5

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect College football is like finding a gal to marry every year. You start out in your late teens/early 20s, not really thinking about it with a hundred or so candidates, and then you start culling them. Bad dates, no ambition, frumpy dresser, no sense of humor, etc. It’s the […]
