Jake Waters and the rest of the Kansas State offense were noticeably sluggish against Iowa State. This Thursday, the Wildcats expect to play several notches better than they did against the Cyclones, and that’s merely a starting point for the showdown against Auburn. KSU must at least come close to its best performance. Anything average from the Wildcats, especially on offense, will almost certainly lead to a loss against Auburn’s turbocharged “Gus Bus.”

Kansas State And West Virginia Play This Thursday Night: What Does It Mean For The Big 12?

The coming Saturday of games in college football is the annual SEC Cupcake Saturday (Non-) Showcase. This takes the air out of the balloon as far as the season is concerned.

The Bloguin Heisman Poll, week 12

The Heisman leader, Marcus Mariota, and the Oregon Ducks were idle this past weekend. Last week’s runner-up, Dak Prescott, had a rough outing as his Mississippi State team fell to the Alabama Crimson Tide. Jameis Winston and the Florida State Seminoles continued to struggle in the first half but deliver the goods in the second […]

Jimbo Fisher had to deal with a mountain of distractions, an ocean of injuries, and the harsh sunlight of constant scrutiny… and didn’t allow his team to fall off the precipice throughout an emotionally exhausting regular season. Not an ordinary feat, by any means.

The Hypothetical That Probably Won’t Become Reality: What If Florida State loses Before December 7?

What’s The Matter With Beating Kansas? The View of TCU This Week

TCU remained in the middle of the College Football Playoff discussion by coming back to beat Kansas on Saturday. The win wasn’t emphatic, but it sure beats a loss. The Student Section editors discuss how that 34-30 win should affect TCU’s place in the sport’s pecking order. * Very simply, should TCU fall in the […]

Sad fan index, week 12

Another week of college football brought us another week of nail-biters and upsets. The number one-ranked team in the country lost, number three and four narrowly escaped defeat, and number six was not so lucky. A top-10 team got blown out by a rival. A team with previous national championship aspirations lost to a team […]

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 […]

Ohio State Stops Minnesota in Snow: Is J.T. Barrett a new Heisman candidate?

On Saturday, the Ohio State Buckeyes took another big step toward the Big Ten championship and a chance to play for much more than that. However, as Urban Meyer moves closer to a possible spot in the College Football Playoff, his quarterback might be moving closer to college football’s most prestigious individual award. After seeing […]
