0 comments by on 10/28/2015

The Minnesota Golden Gophers have endured a difficult 2015 season, and that journey became a lot more painful on Wednesday morning.

After Georgia State and the father-son team of Ron and R.J. Hunter captured America’s heart with a first-round upset over Baylor in the NCAA tournament last season, the Panthers face a bit of a rebuilding year before one of their better recruiting classes comes in next season. Four-star shooting guard D’Marcus Simonds and three-star Chris Clerkley […]

Welcome, College Football World, to Philadelphia

0 comments by

Please allow me to welcome the entire college football world to the city of Philadelphia this week. Some of us have been waiting a long time for a moment like this. Philadelphia does a tremendous job rolling out the red carpet for the Army-Navy Game every time the service academies come to town at the end […]

Pretending to be the CFB Playoff Committee

0 comments by

The actual CFB Playoff committee spits out its first rankings next week. I encourage you to not watch, because it seems like a dog and pony act aimed at getting reaction when in the back of their minds, they’re trying to do the right thing. As always, picks below are NOT reflective of where things […]

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, which is almost certain to spark […]

2015 TSS Heisman Poll, week eight

0 comments by

Last week The Student Section’s Heisman Poll, formerly the Bloguin Heisman Poll, debuted with Leonard Fournette in pole position. After eight weeks of college football, the Heisman Trophy picture is getting clearer. Fournette is the front-runner with a host of others within striking distance. If the past is any indication, this race is far from […]

American Shadows: While the AAC thrives, the Mountain West languishes

0 comments by on 10/27/2015

Mountains are meant to cast shadows over a landscape, but this season, the Mountain West is standing in the shadows, all while the American Athletic Conference becomes the best Group of Five league by a country mile. It’s an unwelcome turn of events in the Rocky Mountains and areas beyond. The league which once had […]

Baylor Is Still a College Football Playoff Contender Without Seth Russell

0 comments by

As I was listening to the radio this afternoon, I learned that Baylor quarterback Seth Russell would need neck surgery and would miss the rest of the season. After that, the radio show hosts completely changed their tune. Instead of talking about the anticipated November 27 showdown between Baylor and TCU, they started asking if Oklahoma […]

Tennessee and mystery: the 2015 season, unexplained

0 comments by on 10/26/2015

The Tennessee Volunteers are not going to play for a division or conference title in 2015. They won’t play in a high-end bowl game. Their remaining schedule, in fact, guarantees decreased publicity and diminished centrality as far as the national press corps is concerned. The sexiest television attractions on the slate have come and gone, […]

The Big 12 schedule reminds us: timing is everything

0 comments by

With the news that Seth Russell is out for the rest of the season as Baylor’s starting quarterback, we are reminded that the Big 12 schedule is the biggest reason the conference title is entirely up for grabs, with four schools having a legitimate claim to the throne and three of them being unbeaten entering […]

Kyle Whittingham shouldn’t be on USC’s radar for a very simple reason

0 comments by

Kyle Whittingham should not be USC’s next head football coach. The reason is simple, and no, it’s not that Whittingham’s Utah Utes were smoked by the Trojans and interim coach Clay Helton on Saturday night. Wait — is this a trick question, then? How can it not be anything other than USC’s 42-24 drubbing of […]

Top 5 Most Miami Coaches for The U

0 comments by

Miami is the ultimate hate-it-or-love-it American city. The traffic blows. The climate could best be described as swamp-like. Crime — of both the white-collar and less so varieties — is rampant. Local government is a mess. On the plus side, of course, there’s, um… Well… No state income tax? Against that backdrop, the university that […]

College Basketball Needs to Stay True to Itself

0 comments by

College basketball faces an important season. More rule changes have been put in place, with the 30-second shot clock being at the forefront of possible scrutiny, and the game itself continues to be bashed by casual fans for its lack of entertaining play. A point I have made in the past, which certainly can’t be […]
