Arizona Blows Out Utah, Keeps Pac-12 Title Hopes Alive

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.

Uniform(s) of the Week: USC and UCLA continue a colorful tradition

Ordinarily in this weekly feature I try to highlight a unique college football uniform being worn on game day.

Flashback Friday: UCLA knocks USC out of title contention

The USC Trojans won the 2004 national championship (yeah, I know they got stripped of the title but they still won the game) and played in the 2006 Rose Bowl for the 2005 season’s BCS national championship. That clash with Texas was one of the best games I’ve ever seen. In 2006, the Trojans appeared […]

The Pac-12 South Has A Lot of Ranked Teams, But Just How Good Is This Division?

In the SEC West, a bunch of teams are beating up on each other. In the Pac-12 South, a bunch of teams are beating up on each other. Is it all the same? Is it completely different? Is it something in between? This is an annually vexing component of college football: the cluttered, balanced division. […]

Bob Stoops to Florida? If You’re Lucky, Gators

Back in 2001, Bob Stoops was the hot name on football’s coaching carousel. Oklahoma’s head coach was a year removed from winning a national championship in just his second season in Norman and clearly had the Sooners on an upward trajectory after a decade-plus of wandering the desert.

The time has come to bid farewell to the coaches poll

The College Football Playoff has changed the game, although we may still be attempting to determine if it is for better or worse. One thing I do know about the College Football Playoff despite a single game under the new format being played is this: the coaches’ poll may be the most irrelevant thing in college […]
