Every year, each team has a situation or two that will define the season. If it makes a play, it goes on to great things; if it fails, it’s time to start talking about next year. Baylor had a few of those on Saturday against TCU. Because the Bears came up big in two pressure-packed […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect For a year and a half, Auburn has been the cute brunette in a spaghetti strap top and denim skirt in the horror movies that you know from scene one is somehow going to make it, then spends the next 90 minutes being captured, left for dead, hit by […]

Once news broke of Todd Gurley’s suspension, the first question everyone asked was, “How would the Bulldogs respond?” On Saturday, the Dawgs answered, “With the character and poise of a champion.” Make no mistake about it: replacing Gurley was a huge task. After all, he accounted for over one-third of the team’s offense, and is […]

This is The Student Section’s first basketball-themed Locker post of the season. It certainly leaves an image in the mind’s eye. Notice the fleck of gray hair near Bill Self’s right temple, accentuating his choice of attire:

It’s Friday, which means it’s time to preview this weekend’s games. Here’s a list of notes, observations, and stats to pay attention to. Am I the only one that remembered 2008’s 3-2 slugfest when looking at this weekend’s docket (which reads No. 2 Auburn vs. No. 3 Mississippi State)? As I mentioned in Wednesday’s Editorial […]

Pardon me if it feels like we’ve been here before. Ridiculously talented Heisman Trophy candidate suddenly is embroiled in an NCAA investigation for allegedly signing memorabilia for loot and is forced to miss some time playing football. Surely, Todd Gurley knew better. Gurley, the all-world running back from Georgia, will likely miss the Bulldogs’ tilt […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect It’s Thursday. There’s no time for romancing this one by taking it out to dinner and having small talk. Lot’s of stuff happened in college football last week, so we’re going straight back to the place. 1. SEC: We’re splitting hairs here with this conference and the Pac-12. The […]

This Saturday of college football is going to be fascinating — not just in terms of the football, but the way the day unfolds on television. We’ll get right into this week’s viewer’s guide, and at the end of the piece, we’ll explain what’s meant in that statement above. * NOON EASTERN TIME WINDOW: FEATURED […]

In the process of reviewing the past week of absurd occurrences in college football — and there were many –the point should settle into our minds: Bringing up these images and instances is not done just to make you angry, to merely recall various outrages so that you can yell, “YEAH! TELL ‘EM AGAIN!” This […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect The most important game in college football isn’t in Starkville, Miss. this weekend. It’s in Waco, Texas.* I’ll just leave that there, and you can place your outrage right next to the latest Katy Perry album, because it’s easier to group things together that I care nothing about. The […]

The editors at The Student Section devote a stand-alone piece to this Saturday’s Auburn-Mississippi State game. The nature of this contest allows for more than a little discussion not just about the Xs and Os, but the significance of the moment. It’s true that the SEC West is competitive, but as everyone on this panel […]

Being a college football writer in this specific week feels a little bit like stepping into the world of Janus, the Roman mythological god of dates and doors, the one who looks backward and forward with two faces. (Janus is the name from which we derive our month of January.) College football writers are still […]

Late Saturday night out on the West Coast, Utah capped one of the wildest weekends in college football’s recent memory, and certainly the most bizarre sequence of events thus far in the dawn of the College Football Playoff era. Utah handed previously unbeaten UCLA its first loss of the season, thus adding quite the wrinkle […]
