3 Plays, 1 Point, And 2 Very Different Conversations About Baylor

It’s an inconvenient part about these games people play: The score is tallied. No matter what outside events might shape the final score, those numbers acquire a permanence which unavoidably affects the way events are remembered… and how history is written. After the 2013 college football regular season, the Baylor Bears — as champions of […]

The Most Underrated Team in the Pac-12 is…

Last week, we discussed the most overrated teams in college football. This week, we discuss the most underrated teams. TSS Associate Editors Bart Doan and Terry Johnson join staff writer Kevin Causey and special rotating guests in our weekly roundtable discussing all things college football. So far this week we have examined the underrated teams in […]

Baylor, which was torn to shreds by UCF in the 2014 Fiesta Bowl, badly needs to beat Michigan State in the Cotton Bowl — not only to bolster the Big 12 in comparison with the Big Ten, but to avoid an 0-for-2 albatross in premium postseason contests.

Bloguin Top 50: No. 6 — Baylor

Baylor Bears 2014 Record: 11-2 overall, 8-1 Big 12 (lost bowl game) 1 Burning Question: Will the Bears Win Their Third Straight Big 12 Title?

College Hoops Offseason Reminder: Our Values Are Not “Their” Values

It is a tricky time of the year to be a college basketball fan. The sport seems so far away, yet so incredibly close that you can hear the student section roaring when Willie McDunkaroo scores the game-winning bucket against a rival. All this makes the general college basketball fan rather sad and, unfortunately, a […]

Bloguin Top 50: No. 7 — Clemson

Clemson Tigers 2014 Record: 10-3 overall, 6-2 ACC (won bowl game) 1 Burning Question: Will Deshaun Watson stay healthy for more than a few minutes?

Ranking The Tip Off Marathon Games

Once again, ESPN and its many channels will be broadcasting (more than) 24 hours of college basketball in a row to begin the 2015-’16 season. This will be the eighth year of the tip off marathon and ESPN, and at first glance it looks like one of the best lineups (if not the best lineup) […]

Auburn: Volatile, Vexing, Victorious

The Auburn Tigers unquestionably loathe the fact that across the way in Tuscaloosa, Nick Saban has won at least 10 games each season (if you include bowl games) since 2008. Alabama — in terms of landing in a January or (these days) New Year’s Six bowl — has become one of the surest bets in […]

Auburn Tigers 2014 Record: 8-5 overall, 4-4 SEC (lost bowl game) 1 Burning Question: Will the Tiger Defense Carry the Team to the SEC title? Offense will never be a problem for a Gus Malzahn-coached team. As long as he’s calling the plays without anyone impeding him (see: 2011), his offense is going to move […]

Georgia Bulldogs 2014 Record: 10-3 overall, 6-2 SEC (beat Louisville in Belk Bowl) 1 Burning Question: Can Georgia win the SEC with Old Man Football?

Brian Schottenheimer Shows Yet Again That SEC Ties Have Their Limits

It’s true that in the 1960s, Oregon and USC weren’t quite the high-profile adversaries they are today, but the legendary John McKay played at Oregon and was an assistant coach for the Ducks […]
