Fan bases across the nation will reconvene in less than three weeks for the 146th season of college football. However, before you can play football you must schedule the games, and the 2015 schedule is full of quirks from the charming to the infuriating. As we barrel towards the season, let’s take a look at 10 […]

Notre Dame Fighting Irish 2014 Record: 8-5 (Defeated LSU in Music City Bowl) 1 Burning Question: Can Notre Dame Make The Playoffs? This is the only acceptable question in South Bend, no matter the possibilities.

If you have ever officiated football or basketball, you have been taught this basic principle: Look away from the ball — you have to see the action transpiring elsewhere on the playing surface. This need to look away from the ball also applies to team-sport analysis, and in football, that means looking beyond the quarterback […]

You have almost certainly heard the news: In the wake of such a development — which is hardly new, by the way — what emerges is a reinforcement of the belief among several coaches that shutting out the potential for distractions, not just the distractions themselves, is the best way to go through a football […]

With that in mind, I’ll provide yet another list of seven random plays to get you fired up for college football season. * 7. Odell Beckham’s […]

Charlie Strong does seem to be changing the way things are done at Texas, a very good thing for the Longhorns. Yet, that process of change just isn’t going to be a swift one. It will take time, and Saturday night’s loss to UCLA affirmed as much.

Roster churn is universal in college football during times of regime change. Everything being bigger in Texas, the transition from Mack Brown to Charlie Strong has produced a particularly robust number of defections in the last two years. The notable attrition has been attributed to Strong’s desire to rehabilitate the culture of Texas football. After […]

It is hard to find many teams who have had the three-year run Missouri has been able to pull off. It is also difficult to find many teams who have been as underrated despite their success. Much of last year’s overlooking of Missouri was due to that awful home loss to Indiana. Much laughter ensued […]

Missouri Tigers 2014 Record: 11-3, 7-1 SEC (won bowl game) 1 Burning Question: They can’t possibly win the East again, right? After their first season in the SEC in 2012, the Tigers appeared to be in over their heads. Head coach Gary Pinkel was presumed to be on the hot seat, and questions lingered: Was […]

Wisconsin Badgers 2014 Record: 11-3 (beat Auburn in Outback Bowl) 1 Burning Question: Can the Badgers find a passing game? There’s really no big secret to the Wisconsin Badgers’ success — they’ll run the ball right down your throat and kill you with the passing game when you sell out against the run. Over the […]

While the Wisconsin Badgers lost a heavy (no pun intended) amount of talented offensive linemen, don’t expect a significant drop-off in the UW running attack in 2015. The first thing folks may point to in citing a possible decline in Madison is the loss of Melvin Gordon, who ran for the second most all-time yards […]

The central story of the Stanford Cardinal’s 2015 season can be framed in these terms: It is the attempt to regain something that was lost in 2014. Stanford had reached four straight BCS (now New Year’s Six) bowls, beginning in the 2010 season, but in 2014, the ride abruptly stopped. Stylistically, Stanford didn’t look that […]
