While the Florida State Seminoles and the Clemson Tigers will fight for a College Football Playoff spot and a New Year’s Six bowl in the coming weeks, the Miami Hurricanes and Duke Blue Devils figure to author the larger story of the ACC in 2015. You’re familiar by now with the notion of a “season […]

In identifying the season-shaping teams from each of the Power 5 conferences, it’s very hard to look past the Northwestern Wildcats and the Nebraska Cornhuskers when the Big Ten comes up for discussion. No, it’s not because the two teams meet this weekend in Lincoln, returning to the site of Nebraska’s Hail Mary victory in […]

The UCLA Bruins are not likely to win the Pac-12 South. The California Golden Bears will have to thread the needle — part of which means beating Stanford — in order to win the Pac-12 North. The two teams which will play in the Rose Bowl stadium on Thursday night should not be expected to […]

College basketball has always been a different sport than its other mainstream counterparts. It doesn’t have that natural audience tuning in which football does. Major League Baseball has a history unlike others, but folks continue to tune in during its lengthy regular season, while shooty hoops only sees large audiences during March Madness. Nor is […]

At the midpoint of the college football season, which teams are still alive in conference races and have a lot to say about the way in which their respective leagues will be remembered? In the SEC, it’s Texas A&M. In the Pac-12, California and Oregon are part of that discussion. In the Big 12, Kansas […]

The stripper story surrounding Rick Pitino, Louisville, and college basketball does not seem like it is going away. Hopefully, since the topic is more complicated than immoral-narratives, some nuance is used before the world declares some sort of ban on all things recruiting trips. Link dump. * College Football Andy Schwarz has an absolutely terrific column […]

Choosing your quarterback is a lot like dating. First, you start out with a bunch of candidates. Some decide they’d be better off elsewhere. Some, you decide would be better off elsewhere. Eventually, you cull down to three or four that could potentially be the long-term solution. They weed themselves out for the most part, […]

It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to reveal the latest edition of the Group of Five Power Poll. As always, remember that these rankings are fluid, and will change from week to week depending on what transpires on the gridiron. With that disclaimer in mind, here’s this week’s installment. Be advised: it goes against the […]

The Texas A&M Aggies will do something this weekend they haven’t done at any previous point in 2015, or at any point in time since Nov. 8, 2014, roughly 50 weeks ago: Play a regular-season game outside the state of Texas. That’s pretty wild, right? Texas A&M played the last two games of its 2014 […]

The California Golden Bears and the Oregon Ducks aren’t calling the shots in the Pac-12 Conference. The Utah Utes and Stanford Cardinal merit that shared distinction at the moment. However, when the 2015 Pac-12 is ultimately assessed on the gridiron, the boys from Berkeley and the young’uns from Eugene might become the central reference points […]

A college football Tuesday? Well, I suppose it technically is. As we all are still collectively catching our breaths from a poor punter dropping a football in the state of Michigan, the season waits for no one. After all, there is a Sun Belt game on tonight!

One of the hallmarks of effective problem-solving is to think ahead, to see the problem either before it emerges or as it emerges. If a problem solver is lucky, he or she will be able to head off problems before they take root. For most of us, life is too busy and complicated to prevent […]

It was the noted philosopher Robert Goulet who once said, “On a clear day, you can see forever and ever, and evermore.” The middle of October is generally not a time when you can see forever in college football. This year, that statement seems to be especially resonant. We are (sad to say) at the […]
