0 comments by

There are two weeks in the books and a whole lot to boil down, especially in the Big 12. Let’s just start by saying that, very early on, the conference is on the outside looking in as far as the Playoff is concerned. Then again, that was also true of the Big Ten in 2014, […]

Forget about the officiating and give Central Michigan credit for winning the game

0 comments by on 9/11/2016

I’m deeply disappointed in how most major media outlets are handling Central Michigan’s upset over Oklahoma State. Instead of complaining about the officiating, they should have given the Chippewas credit for winning the game. Make no mistake about it: the botched call was certainly a story. By rule, Central Michigan should not have received an […]

Utah Utes’ defense overcomes 6 turnovers, BYU

0 comments by

Even the most casual college football fan knows the saying “defense wins championships”. The Utah Utes proved this point in their 20-19 win over BYU. Make no mistake about it: the Ute defense deserves more than a few helmet stickers for the way it played on Saturday night. The defense got the team on the […]

Wooo Pig … Shooweee: Austin Allen puts on clutch performance for the ages in Hogs’ win

0 comments by on 9/10/2016

If they gave the Heisman Trophy out after two weeks of football, Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen would have a nice prize to go along with his bumps and bruises Saturday night in a stirring 41-38 victory over top-15 Texas Christian at their place. Allen wouldn’t be denied on the last play. Down three, on third down, […]

More discouraging Saturday … Mike Gundy or Pat Fitzgerald?

0 comments by

September 10, 2016 wasn’t a good day for beloved coaches of their alma mater who’ve been annually coveted by other teams but have opted to stay close to home. Granted, that pool isn’t necessarily a large one, but for Mike Gundy of Oklahoma State and Pat Fitzgerald of Northwestern, the bitterness will last a solid […]

East Carolina Pirates defeat NC State, prove they are expansion worthy

0 comments by

When the Big 12 recently trimmed its list of expansion candidates, East Carolina Pirates didn’t make the cut. Based on the Pirates’ play this afternoon, the league might eventually regret that decision. Powered by a high-octane offense, East Carolina defeated NC State 33-30 to move to 2-0. Make no mistake about it: the Pirate offense […]

Michigan thumps UCF, hands Knights first loss of Frost era

0 comments by

Central Florida coach Scott Frost probably still has to pay triple for meals in Ann Arbor, and after a 51-14 pelting by the Michigan Wolverines Saturday afternoon, it’s clear Michigan is taking nothing for granted and UCF has a long way to go. It was 19 years ago when Michigan and Nebraska … quarterbacked by […]

0 comments by

When talking about college football and the often-subjective rankings, we hear about “style points” a lot. We hear about how this team impressed and that team didn’t and why that matters.
