I’ve read Matt Zemek’s story on the need for consistency in arguments for the College Football Playoff and the options that become available with each week’s results. However, while looking at Ohio State, I think that we have another option – how do you measure the team’s ability at the end of the season, rather […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect Straight, no chaser. Ohio State came into Michigan State’s house, sat down on the couch next to his girl, and started doing shots of whiskey with his arm around her while he sat across the room and fumed. Welcome to the playoff race, Ohio State. The Buckeyes wandered into […]

One of the defining characteristics of Kansas State football under head coach Bill Snyder is that the Wildcats are regularly in the right position. They might not be the most athletically imposing team in the Big 12 — in this or other seasons — but they mix ferocity with precision, applying pressure on their opponents. […]

Thanks to its 48-14 thrashing of Oklahoma, it’s time to put Baylor back in the national championship conversation. Make no mistake about it: the Bears beat a very good Sooner team. Sure, OU has two losses, but both of those came against teams currently ranked in the top 10. More importantly, the Sooners could have […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect It’s a Big Ten “playoff for the playoff” this weekend in East Lansing, which I guess is the way this whole playoff thing was supposed to make us feel (what with its devaluing of the regular season or maybe not doing that), but who really knows? Regardless of the […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect Hashtag Boycott College GameDay. Or #BoycottCollegeGameDay. I’m serious, if you are. Imagine the scene for those of you that actually watch ESPN’s College GameDay with any regularity. The three or four guys wake up, get out of their truck all chock-full of fresh makeup and coffee, assume their normal […]

After Duke’s annual shootout with Pittsburgh, one question came to my mind: Can this experienced Duke team compete with Florida State in the ACC Championship Game? Though their defense looked like Swiss cheese against the Panthers Saturday, the Blue Devils gave a performance that appeared to be a blip on the radar, at least if […]

With the recent release of the first ever College Football Playoff rankings, two things stood out: The first is a serious lack of diversity, which is no surprise in light of recent years. The second is the amount of teams in the top 10 that are likely to fall during the remainder of the regular […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect College football is like finding a gal to marry every year. You start out in your late teens/early 20s, not really thinking about it with a hundred or so candidates, and then you start culling them. Bad dates, no ambition, frumpy dresser, no sense of humor, etc. It’s the […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect The one thing that makes sports so unique is how intoxicating it can be on both ends. The highs of the wins, the lows of the losses, and the lows never really offset the highs, but the highs are good enough that you go on and risk the lows […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect In a press conference that basically resembled running back into the house to put on lip gloss before going back out on the way to the club, Michigan announced that Athletic Director Dave Brandon was out today by virtue of a resignation. Though Michigan’s public affairs group will put […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect Type in any old news site and you’ll see a pretty nice laundry list of things not going right. Hell, look out your window, you might see it. But every now and then, things go the way they’re supposed to and for the most part, we look the other […]

So, did anything big happen last night in college football? What? You mean there was no “Fun Belt Tuesday” with Louisiana-Lafayette whaling on an unfortunate foe? Yes, a new era in college football history began last night. The newness of this venture has naturally created twin tidal waves of publicity and anxiety. It’s the conversational […]
