The football world has seen some unbelievable catches this week. First Odell Beckham Jr. had one of the great catches of all time Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. Then on Monday night Robert Woods showed off a fancy catch for the Buffalo Bills against the New York Jets. But Tuesday nights are for the MAC, and […]

The honor of being named a team captain comes with a burden of responsibility to uphold the image of the team, and in college sports, the university as a whole. Being named a team captain by your peers comes with great pride and is not to be taken for granted. Presenting the best your team […]

On Twitter @TheStudentSect Author @TheCoachBart Florida State football has a problem if it plans on playing in the CFB Playoff extravaganza here in about a month and a half. When you think about it, we change very little in our basic reasoning from the moment we become old enough to understand right and wrong and […]

Some might call it the “Battle Line Rivalry,” but veteran sportswriter Dieter Kurtenbach came up with a gem when he referred to Arkansas-Missouri as the “Ozark of the Covenant” game. Arkansas-Mizzou is the contest most of the Student Section editors point to as the one to watch on Thanksgiving Friday. The editor on the staff […]

Last week Melvin Gordon and Marcus Mariota were neck and neck in the polling with Jameis Winston getting the bronze. Wisconsin and FSU escaped their games while Oregon demolished Colorado. Let’s take a look at how this past weekend affected […]

The College Football season is coming to the end and that by itself is sad. What’s even more sad? When your team loses a key game down the stretch. Based on last weekend’s games, let’s take a look at the saddest fan bases in the college football spotlight: No. 1: Virginia Tech Hokies I think […]

Nebraska will not win the Big Ten this year. It won’t even win its division. Bo Pelini must endure another year of questions after his defense failed to protect another double-digit lead. Is Nebraska no longer “Nebraska,” or should the Huskers rightly expect more out of their program? That’s the question at the heart of […]

UCLA has, in the eyes of some writers — such as Ted Miller of ESPN — re-entered the College Football Playoff discussion. What if the Bruins do manage to make the Pac-12 Championship Game and upend Oregon? How would UCLA compare at 11-2 to a 12-1 Ohio State team that struggled against Indiana on Saturday? […]

In 1978, college basketball’s Final Four convened in St. Louis, Missouri: Notre Dame, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Duke competed for the national championship in hoops. This year, the 1978 Final Four has taught college football fans and pundits a lesson that must be absobed each and every autumn: The process of grading teams doesn’t fully end […]

Boise State went to the bag of tricks and pulled out the most famous play in the history of Bronco football, the Statue of Liberty play. This one went just as well. The Broncos lead Wyoming 28-7 at halftime.

With all of the preseason hype, national rankings and Heisman campaigns, 2014 was supposed to be a title-contending season for UCLA in the Pac-12. While back-to-back mid-season losses to Utah and Oregon appeared to have derailed this plan, a win over Arizona on Nov. 1 and Saturday’s thrashing of rival USC have changed the discussion. […]

One thing that people always say immediately after the College Football Playoff standings come out is that there’s still a lot of football left to be played and that anything can happen over the final weeks of the season. Arizona proved this point on Saturday afternoon in Salt Lake City. Behind a complete team effort, […]

Thursday night, the Kansas State Wildcats defeated the West Virginia Mountaineers, 26-20, but in many ways, this latest Big 12 battle of considerable consequence was not won by the winner so much as it was lost by the loser. Kansas State rushed for one yard on Thursday. A total of 18 penalty flags littered the […]

Ordinarily in this weekly feature I try to highlight a unique college football uniform being worn on game day. These uniforms have typically been specially designed for a certain occasion like a Division II school playing in Michigan Stadium or another program paying tribute to a national championship team from a past era or one […]
