For the past three years, I have hosted the Bloguin Heisman Poll at this site’s previous incarnation, the now-retired Crystal Ball Run. Starting this week, the weekly poll of Bloguin writers begins again, now in its new home here at The Student Section. We are approximately one-third of the way through the season in terms of […]

So, that was some kinda weekend, wasn’t it? You might think there are no truly original movie concepts left to explore, but the notion of praising Arizona is pretty new to anyone who has chronicled college football for any appreciable length of time. That’s how crazy the past weekend was… and Arizona’s upset of Oregon […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart A lot of things make humanity great. A lot of things make it suck. But few things make it as great as independent thought. Which is why human people can get in a room and look at or read the same thing and come away with a million different impressions. There are […]

If you go through The Student Section’s coverage of the month of September, you will see very little content about the makeup of this year’s football version of a “final four.” You will see no official projections of the College Football Playoff’s four-team field. You will see no bowl projections or top fives in the […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Well hello there, college football. Like your buddy that’s always fashionably late, almost to the point of annoyance, but always brings a few growlers to the party … the Saturday excitement level has been roughly “drywall repair” over the first five weeks, but that all changed this weekend. Things happened, and a […]

One of the best things about college football is the passion fans have for their team, their university, and their players. Of course, being so passionate about something also means that from time to time you get your heart broken, and this past weekend was especially heartbreaking. We probably could have listed about 15 teams […]

Remember September 6, 2014 — four weeks ago, essentially? Remember when the Big Ten already seemed to be in a near-death state in terms of getting into the College Football Playoff? Remember when Oregon looked quite convincing in dispatching Michigan State, and Ohio State lost at home to the same Virginia Tech side that couldn’t […]

Just seven days ago, Utah’s hopes of winning its division took a huge hit after the team blew a 21-point lead against Washington State. However, thanks to a very aggressive pass rush and some stellar play from their backup quarterback, the Utes still control their own destiny in the Pac-12 South race. Let’s be honest: […]

Every year, there’s always a team that started the season outside the polls and finishes the season near the top of the polls. Thanks to its victory over Oklahoma on Saturday afternoon, don’t be surprised if TCU is that team. While this win wasn’t pretty, Gary Patterson’s team proved that it’s a contender in the […]

For the first 58 minutes and 59 seconds of Saturday’s slippery, sloppy slog between Notre Dame and Stanford, Everett Golson looked nothing like the player who took command of the Fighting Irish’s offense in the first two games of the season against Rice and Michigan. Golson, whose 2013 season was wiped out due to his […]

After the Mississippi State Bulldogs defeated a young and disorganized LSU squad two weeks ago, the discussion began in the SEC, especially its cutthroat West Division: Had Dan Mullen and his program arrived as a full-fledged force, or was the Bulldogs’ moment in Baton Rouge little more than a temporary surge aided by an opponent’s […]
