On Twitter @TheCoachBart The final whistle blew and Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace took the ball from the official, a keepsake the likes of which ranks with a wedding ring down the road as the most important material things you own. Students flooded the field, maybe to the tune of a fine … but what […]

In what may be considered the biggest matchup in the Southeastern Conference so far this season, Ole Miss is set to host Alabama at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium this Saturday. Both teams enter Week 6 of the college football season with flawless 4-0 records, but one will be left with its first loss – an ever-important conference defeat […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart A Michigan fan waking up this morning has to feel like the guy walking into a restaurant to see his ex-girlfriend 20 pounds lighter in a mini skirt with some guy that has a brand new Silverado, a better job, and is more attractive. Arizona football’s shocking upset of the Oregon Ducks […]

What’s the greatest college football dynasty of all time? That’s a question which deserves to be explored, and it will be in the paragraphs below, but don’t think the answer is an easy or obvious one. That does a disservice to the notion of a dynasty in an age when attention spans are shorter. It’s […]
From one vantage point, Auburn’s passing game with Nick Marshall will be a foremost factor in Saturday’s game against Mississippi State.

With so many close games going on at the time, many people might have missed this tremendous effort from Auburn QB Nick Marshall. Watch as he runs backwards to avoid the rush and finds Quan Bray in the end zone for the backbreaking score. Nick Marshall escapes and finds Quan Bray for a 44-yard strike […]

Bill Snyder, relative to the circumstances he inherited and the accomplishments he has forged, deserves serious consideration as one of the 20 best college football coaches who has ever lived. Ever. He’s been that great for that long at a program which used to be Rag Doll University for the Nebraskas and Oklahomas of the […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart The shakeup at the top doesn’t matter. It’s the bottom that does. That said, Florida State stands alone as the team with the best individual shot of being in the CFB playoff regardless of what its conference looks like. The Big Ten narrowed the chasm between itself and the rest of the […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Well, 25 percent of the season is over. You know what that means … absolutely nothing, really. We’re back with another poll, and this week’s theme is musical people from the state. Look people, we’ve got like 12 weeks of this. You know how difficult it is to theme it every week? […]

A week ago, the Missouri Tigers took apart a UCF team that — even with the departures of Blake Bortles, Storm Johnson, and others — is supposed to be a top-three contender at worst in the American Athletic Conference. Head coach Gary Pinkel’s team didn’t waste much time or energy in the process. Missouri found […]

After a wild weekend as far as officiating was concerned, I looked at five separate controversies plus a situation in which the replay process worked exactly as it should have. One situation not examined in that linked piece was the play-clock controversy at the end of the Kentucky-Florida game. It’s a situation the Southeastern Conference […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart This is the first Dumb Laws edition. Full disclosure: this is one of my favorite versions of the poll because I don’t need to make stuff up and hope it’s funny … the law does it for me. Special thanks to this Dumb Laws website for providing an endless stream of hilariously […]

This is the nature of college football in the first few weeks of every season: The week-one or week-two result you thought was significant turns out to be a tease, a mirage, an event which fails to carry into the following week. College football is always volatile no matter the month, but it is especially […]

The same shadows that partially cover the Bevo logo above will blanket both the Texas Longhorns and the UCLA Bruins this Saturday at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Tex. UCLA and Texas will play in the shadows of history, and one of the most significant college football games from the 1990s. When the Bruins and Longhorns […]

The first coaching casualty of the season has already arrived: June Jones is out at SMU. While Jones exited stage right, a number of coaches at high-profile programs moved closer to and away from the hot seat in week two. There’s a lot to discuss about the nation’s FBS sideline sultans. * Question No. 1: […]
