Colorado State knocked the ball out of the park by hiring Mike Bobo. The under-appreciated Georgia offensive coordinator has a distinguished resume and is just what the program needs to build upon the success of the Jim McElwain era. Make no mistake about it: Bobo isn’t perfect. Anyone who’s spent five minutes on a college […]

Admit it: you’re waiting until the last minute to fill out your bowl picks. While you’ve figured out whom to pick in most of them, there are still a few where you’re prepared to flip a coin. Don’t worry, the Student Section is here to help. Although the staff doesn’t always agree, we’ve all listed […]

One of the things the Student Section strives to provide its readers with is a wide range of opinions about what’s going on in the worlds of college football and basketball. Bowl season is no different, which is why we listed each staff member’s picks against the spread. The number in parentheses is the confidence […]

Behind a solid, all-around effort on Saturday night in Charlotte, Florida State defeated Georgia Tech and guaranteed itself a spot in the College Football Playoff. Judging by what we saw in the ACC Championship Game, the Seminoles are a threat to win it. Make no mistake about it: this win will carry a lot of […]
Georgia Tech beating Georgia in the Paul Johnson era was and is a rare event. With that having been said, the Yellow Jackets’ ability to win in Athens could very realistically represent an equation-changing event in the evolving balance of power between the ACC and the SEC.

You’ve got to tip your cap the Georgia Tech for winning this contest. Despite facing several seemingly impossible situations, the Yellow Jackets upset archrival Georgia, and have emerged as a spoiler in the College Football Playoff race. Let’s be honest: it looked like Georgia Tech was going to lose this ball game several different times […]

One thing that people always say immediately after the College Football Playoff standings come out is that there’s still a lot of football left to be played and that anything can happen over the final weeks of the season. Arizona proved this point on Saturday afternoon in Salt Lake City. Behind a complete team effort, […]

Thanks to a dominating defensive effort, Georgia is back in the SEC championship race, with a chance to play for the national title if several breaks fall in its favor over the next few weeks. Let’s be honest: the Dawgs’ defense turned in one the best performances in college football over the past five seasons. […]

One of the most popular conversation topics throughout the week was whether Oregon belongs in the College Football Playoff. On Saturday evening, the Ducks left no doubt that they deserve a spot in the field if they should win out. That’s not to say that Oregon’s win over Utah was perfect. After all, the offense […]

Thanks to its 48-14 thrashing of Oklahoma, it’s time to put Baylor back in the national championship conversation. Make no mistake about it: the Bears beat a very good Sooner team. Sure, OU has two losses, but both of those came against teams currently ranked in the top 10. More importantly, the Sooners could have […]
The introduction of semifinals before a national title game? Very, very good. The process by which the four College Football Playoff teams will be chosen? That’s not likely to be as satisfying or clear-cut for all parties involved.

Back in July, I wrote a reaction piece to the initial Coaches’ Poll saying that the rankings were just like Seinfeld in that they were both a show about nothing. I feel the same way about the first-ever College Football Playoff rankings. While this made-for-television event provided plenty of entertainment, it didn’t really mean anything. […]

Sometimes a team doesn’t need to dominate both sides of the football to win a contest. It simply needs to do what it does best and avoid making costly mistakes. That’s what Kansas State did against Oklahoma. Make no mistake about it: the Wildcats were not perfect, especially on defense. The run defense, the fourth […]

What looked like a negative play turned into six points for Kansas State, as Glenn Gronkowski slipped behind the Oklahoma defense. A good, old fashioned pop pass http://t.co/vzYBDQuIbN — Terry P. Johnson (@SectionTPJ)

It’s Friday, which means it’s time to provide a list of things to watch for this weekend. While I try not to comment on off-the-field issues, I feel compelled to make this statement: I’m disappointed in all of the “the referees cost us the game” segments that dominated sports talk radio this week. Whether we […]

USC quarterback Cody Kessler made some nifty moves to avoid the rush in Saturday night’s game against Arizona, but he couldn’t account for Jonathan McKnight, who made diving grab for the INT. Diving pick by Jonathan McKnight http://t.co/aFZfyB87AX — Terry P. Johnson (@SectionTPJ)
