Tennessee was a victim of one of the dumbest rules college football enforces last season.

The best case scenario for the CFB Playoff in year 1 is to have a college football blue blood like USC win the title. And obviously, the more Song Girls, the better.

Malzahn on point with Marshall punishment
0 comments by Bart D on 8/4/2014
On Twitter @TheCoachBart Some will call it stems and seeds of punishments considering the corresponding “crime” as it relates to Auburn’s normal protocol, but predictably (as said in this spot), Nick Marshall will be suspended for the beginning of the opening Arkansas game for a currently undetermined length of time … and you know what […]
Missouri had a lot to shout about last season, but with Dorial Green-Beckham (pictured, right) no longer in the picture — so to speak, of course — the Tigers face an uphill climb in 2014.
Poll Vaulting: Thoughts on the Coaches Poll
0 comments by Bart D on 7/31/2014
On Twitter @TheCoachBart The Coaches Poll came out, which I greet with about as much excitement as a new Daughtry single, which is to say “some amount less than getting poked in the eye,” but it gives us something to make fun of because the coaches poll in and of itself is an idiotic idea, […]
With an offense tailored to his strengths, IU’s Nate Sudfeld could put up staggering, Heisman-attention grabbing digits.

Brady Hoke should write a column …

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Countless columns of mine start out like this, but there was this Seinfeld episode once upon a time where Kramer had a hideously annoying red head girlfriend who goes and heckles Jerry at one of his shows and throws him off a bit. Jerry, incensed, plots to partake in the ultimate comedian’s […]
If Michigan State were a stock, quit your job and buy all of it.
B1G Predictions: Sparty Hard

By Bart Doan On Twitter @TheCoachBart Like the kid that goes home for the summer in middle school and comes back 6 inches taller in the fall (back when kids actually used to go back to school in the fall and not basically right after Independence Day), Michigan State grew up a lot last year. […]
Michigan will suddenly need wins to keep the smiles on faces … and backsides in the seats.
Michigan football tinkering with its soul
0 comments by Bart D on 7/26/2014
Michigan’s athletic department is fourth in the nation in total revenue, bringing in over $143,000,000 in 2013. That also registered as second in the B1G … ahead of rival Ohio State. In a word or two, it’s “not broke.” And if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it, right? But there are lies, damn lies, and […]
For ESPN’s Justin Connolly, the SEC Network will be shying away from hard news and investigative pieces. Why they’re doing so is up to your opinion.
Ethical questions abound with CFB Playoff, SEC Network

By Bart Doan On Twitter @TheCoachBart Years from now, we’ll probably look back on this and think we all should have known better. The college football year 2004 changed everything, from our first real anger at the BCS having a fatal flaw when three major powers in the sport went undefeated and the title game […]
Oklahoma was just better than Alabama in the 2014 Sugar Bowl. And motivation is part of being great.
CFB Playoff gives rise to some bad arguments
0 comments by Bart D on 7/23/2014
By Bart Doan Follow on Twitter There are things that will be endlessly debated: Bud, Miller, or Coors; is Bigfoot real or not; Coke or Pepsi; Scott Stapp or nails on a chalk board; and of course, playoffs in college football. Questions will always exist about whether or not a playoff in college football devalues […]
Clint Trickett has to apologize for people being too sensitive
0 comments by Bart D
So when you see a West Virginia QB apologizing to Deadspin on Twitter, you naturally think “man, something bad must have gone down.” Nope. All it really was turned out to be more Internet outrage from the Sensitive Police, who never take a day or preferably a lifetime off. Clint Trickett yesterday posted a joke […]
For Larry Fedora and eternally talented North Carolina, the rubber eventually needs to meet the road when it comes to wins and losses.
ACC. Questions. Lots of them.

The ACC’s players and coaches have met assembled media in Greensboro, N.C. The two-day event, initiated on a Sunday for some strange reason, ended as quickly as it began. This doesn’t mean the ACC will be ignored or pushed aside here at The Student Section, however. Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher stressed the need […]
Are you anywhere? Not in Hoover

By Bart Doan On Twitter @TheCoachBart Last year about this time, Nick Marshall not being at SEC Media Days wouldn’t have caused much reaction. Auburn was coming off of a bammies type of year in the SEC, and the national focus was so far from an SEC championship and the hype was being dealt out […]
If this looks like a terrible picture to have accompanying a college football piece … turn away and run. Fast.

This section is not one of them. If substance is what […]
