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! Link dump. * College Football Speaking of things […]

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 […]

No, this isn’t a call to abolish divisions in college football — I did that last year. The reform I’ll push for in this piece — something I regularly advocate as a college football writer (one of these centuries, I might get lucky) — is for the use and adoption of the flex game in […]

A month ago, I wrote about the ball-spotting problem in college football, one of the most underreported yet significant flaws in the sport as an on-field product. This severe deficiency continues to receive very little attention from media outlets, at least when viewed through the prism of saturation coverage. “The media” can be a vague […]

It is unavoidable. It is a law of nature. It is a reality as old as time. Whenever an all-time blunder with game- and season-changing significance occurs in a major sport, you can count on human beings to criticize the coach or (in a solo-athlete sport) the thought process of the athlete. Naturally, football is […]

Picking on people should not be considered normal. It does not matter if they did something silly or something considered dumb, it isn’t cool to take to the mean streets of social media to poke someone when they are already down. And, yes, this includes punters. They are people too. Link dump. * College Football […]

For most people Monday is the worst day of the week. In fact, it probably is for absolutely everyone except for the Mamas and Papas. With that in mind, I’m going to write something positive to get everyone’s week off to a good start. Here’s a list a five teams with a losing record that […]
