We don’t usually cover recruiting on this site but sometimes there is an interesting angle that’s just too good to pass up. The Georgia Bulldogs have been up and down this season on the field but that hasn’t stopped them from racking up with commitments for the 2015 season. This morning, five-star prospect Rashad Roundtree […]

The Alabama Crimson Tide and LSU Tigers had their first meeting way back in 1895. Alabama holds the edge in the series 48-25-5, with the Tide winning three straight and five of seven. This has been a long rivalry with twists and turns, but I want to focus on the recent 2011 season in which […]

There’s a lot to say about this upcoming Saturday in college football. We’ve already said a lot about it at The Student Section. We’ve looked at this blockbuster day through the lens of media visibility. We’ve looked at Notre Dame-Arizona State. We’ve looked at Ohio State-Michigan State. We’ll have more on the day in the hours […]

Usually at this time of the week, The Student Section puts forth a viewer’s guide for the coming college football Saturday, offering four to six games in the noon, 3:30, and 7 p.m. Eastern time windows, all ranked in terms of watchability. However, this week, there’s no need for that sort of guide. Unless you’re […]

If you look at the topics discussed by The Student Section’s lead college basketball writers, whom you got to know yesterday, you’ll notice that the Mid-Atlantic region of the country and the state of Texas figure prominently in this first collection of the season’s more intriguing questions. We’re going to discuss a lot more about […]
This missed field goal by Georgia’s Marshall Morgan began a long slide for UGA, known in yoga parlance as “downward Dawg,” but before that miss, Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo made the play calls which fundamentally changed the trajectory of the Cocktail Party.

This weekly survey of the absurdities in the college football world normally acquires the form of a look back at various in-game developments. This past weekend, we saw Pittsburgh head coach Paul Chryst fail to center the ball for a short field goal at the end of regulation in the Panthers’ game against Duke. Pittsburgh’s […]

Every team in the Big 12 this year played a non-conference game against a Power 5 opponent, save for one. Baylor, the defending conference champ, played Northwestern State and SMU in Waco. The Bears’ toughest test? A Friday night game at Buffalo. Baylor’s preseason diet of cupcakes helped the Bears fatten up on easy Ws. […]

It’s a very big week for college football at The Student Section, but college hoops starts on Nov. 14, and we have a season to preview. The college basketball articles you’ve seen so far at TSS have been our preseason poll segments. Lead writers Scott King — publisher of Bloguin’s Cincinnati site Bearcats Blog — […]

We are getting dangerously close to the end of this preseason poll. Even more dangerous is the fact that I will be writing about one of my alma maters and the reason I’m writing about college basketball in the first place. We’ll get to those at the end, but first, as this is my last […]

Oregon and Nebraska are simultaneously studies in contrasts and portraits of similarities. Oregon loudly announced its presence as a playoff contender with a thumping of Stanford last Saturday. Nebraska has been as quiet as a church mouse, ignored by the national press while Ohio State and Michigan State prepare for their defining duel this week […]

The only Gang Of Five team that is taking care of business — doing everything that is within its control — is Marshall. Yet, the Thundering Herd’s schedule is as strong as a piece of cotton candy. Marshall’s 2014 slate is as imposing as the Detroit Tigers’ bullpen. This is a clear situation in that […]

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 […]

You can already feel the anticipation in advance of one of the best November Saturdays in many years. It’s hard to recall another non-rivalry November Saturday which offers so many games loaded with national significance for both teams. One of the six gems on this gorgeous Saturday slate is Notre Dame-Arizona State, the game that […]

Last week, Marcus Mariota broke out of a two-week tie with Jameis Winston for second place and gained ground on our frontrunner, Dak Prescott. This week, Prescott and Mississippi State struggled to beat Arkansas while Mariota and Oregon cruised over Stanford. Meanwhile, Winston and FSU pulled off yet another comeback in their victory over Louisville. Let’s […]

Auburn-Ole Miss didn’t draw blockbuster-level television ratings, but it could very well remain the single most compelling college football broadcast of the 2014 season. This was sports television at its theatrical, suspenseful, and ultimately heartbreaking zenith. This was a game which made every onlooker react like this on many — not just a few — […]
