On Saturday, two storied programs will meet in a game that isn’t widely anticipated. No. 24 Nebraska will host Miami in a game that would have likely been for all the marbles in the 1980s and ’90s. Now it’s just another game on the docket. Let’s travel back to a time when this game meant […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart * Auburn Being Auburn Auburn is rapidly becoming the buddy you have that can take any piece of trash and somehow unlock your car door from the outside when you lock your keys inside it. If there are ways to be found, late, Auburn will find them. Sounds a lot like 2013, […]
From one vantage point, Auburn’s passing game with Nick Marshall will be a foremost factor in Saturday’s game against Mississippi State.

Is a trap game still a trap game if everyone recognizes it’s a trap game? Unfortunately for wily coot Bill Snyder, he has lost the element of surprise. Snyder’s teams have tripped up so many unsuspecting foes in his 58 years as Kansas State’s head coach that Thursday night’s trip to the Little Apple has […]

Here’s a list of things to pay attention to on the gridiron this weekend: Believe it or not, the key to the Clemson – Florida State game has nothing to do with Jameis Winston: it’s the Tiger offense. In order to pull out a “W,” Dabo Swinney’s team must keep the sticks moving early on […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Well, this column was only a matter of time coming, like a terrible but popular band having a few good albums and then one of the guys deciding it’s a good idea to go solo and make even more terrible music that mostly sounds the same. In case anyone hasn’t noticed, the […]

The first few weeks of a college football season are generally scheduled in advance of the opening weekend. In the first two to three weeks of a season, the proliferation of non-conference games — combined with the fact that big-name teams have few to no losses — makes it comparatively easier for ESPN and other […]

Let’s get this out of the way: Jameis Winston did something stupid. He spoke corrosively, in public, about sexuality. You can read the words in the link. There’s no acute need to make them reappear in this space. Given Winston’s recent past, one would like to think this is something he should have been able […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Like a girl that keeps bringing back around the same guy after a few minor tweaks and changes, it was supposed to be different this time for Indiana football. However, after another mind-numbing loss … perhaps the most damaging of the Kevin Wilson era … Indiana football truly finds itself at a […]

As a head coach, Will Muschamp has faced his former head coach Nick Saban only once. That didn’t go so well for Florida, as the Gators lost 38-10 to an Alabama team that would win the national championship later in the 2011 season. That was Muschamp’s first season. Muschamp is now in his fourth season, but […]

The college football season is about to shift into full-time conference competition across the country, but on Thursday, Auburn and Kansas State will add one more intersectional encounter to the September slate. This is precisely the kind of clash college football needs to witness on a more regular basis. Two teams are taking a huge […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart There was this thing going around this past offseason, and it wasn’t 22 Jump Street, which I’m pretty sure all of about seven people paid to watch. It was this thing about the starting quarterback job at Michigan. It shouldn’t have been a thing, and really, inside the walls that mattered, it […]

My goodness, this was some kind of weekend for college football. Once again, a slate of games that seemed to hold very little box-office appeal turned into a very entertaining 12 hours. Only the late games fizzled for the most part, and even then, Nevada-Arizona proved to be an exception in that regard. Part of […]

In this week’s attempt to make sense of the just-completed college football weekend, there are several fairly easy calls to make in terms of identifying weaklings and teases across the country. Virginia Tech is a tease, given its loss to East Carolina. So is USC, at least as far as 2014 is concerned, though maybe […]
