The Big 12 has become a basketball conference that is stronger than just perennial power Kansas. Baylor, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Kansas State, and Iowa State have all proven in the last few years that they can play basketball too. With teams like that rising to the top of the college ranks, it makes for […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Sometime in the fourth quarter of the 2015 Rose Bowl, I made the mistake of getting on Twitter for a second. I like to know if I’ve missed anything, mostly news wise, while I was doing things more important than hanging out on the Internet for three hours. Bad mistake. […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect The 2015 Sugar Bowl was basically the milk and bread aisle at the grocery store the day prior to the first snow/ice storm, and if you live in a place where snow/ice storms are possible, you know exactly what I’m talking about. This joint had it all. An absurd last […]

For the Alabama football program, gritty defense and making plays when they mattered the most on that side of the ball have been staples in the Nick Saban era over the past decade or so. Success in these and other realms of competition have allowed the Tide to earn BCS national championships in the 2009, […]
Urban Meyer, a superstar head coach and a national figure in college football, spoke at Big Ten Media Days on Monday in Chicago. Big Ten Network did not provide live coverage of his session with the media. ESPN deserves plenty of criticism for how it elevates the SEC and undercuts the levels of exposure it gives to conferences such as the ACC and Big 12. However, when BTN can’t provide live coverage of Meyer, Mark Dantonio, and the coaches of its other big-name programs, the collection of factors that feed into conference bias becomes a lot more complicated. It’s not just about ESPN loving the SEC too much; it’s about BTN and Pac-12 Networks being markedly inadequate when covering their own conferences. Conference bias is, in other words, a two-way street and a multi-source problem. ESPN’s competitors have to do a better job.

In the second quarter of the Sugar Bowl, Cardale Jones was pulled down into the end zone in what looked like a safey. Here’s a vine with the play…. The play was ruled down at the two yard line with Cardale Jones given forward progress. I posed the question…Yay or Nay on the Safety and […]

While the story of the Cotton Bowl will be Michigan State’s monster comeback, the most memorable play of the day will be Bryce Petty’s TD strike to LaQuan McGowan — an offensive guard by trade. Here’s something you don’t see every day http://t.co/GciU4FaY4Z — Terry P. Johnson (@SectionTPJ)

With a loss in the Rose Bowl, Florida State’s two-season-long winning streak is now at an end. Ironically, the ‘Noles won’t make a return visit to the national championship game because they didn’t do what they’ve done in each of the last two seasons – make the most of their opportunities. That’s what made the […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Author @TheCoachBart Well, the dream is dead. Auburn lost, and thus, the world is not treated to a free Bloomin’ Onion tomorrow at Outback Steakhouse. Team Coconut Shrimp won (Wisconsin). They always say the quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and unless you were a Wisconsin […]

How can one sum up the view from Eugene in the wake of Oregon’s shocking Rose Bowl blowout of Florida State? It’s a view defined by refutation. Oregon spoke loudly on a picture-postcard New Year’s Day afternoon in the Arroyo Seco… but not with any words. The Ducks were as gorgeous and crisp as the […]

In the middle of the Rose Bowl, some interesting news has broken. Former Auburn head coach Gene Chizik is going to be the new DC at UNC? Not sure about the fit coaching under Larry Fedora but this is a very interesting hire and could work out for a Heels defense that just hasn’t gotten […]

The flood gates have opened in the Rose Bowl with three straight scores….. Sometimes all it takes is one missed tackle. Oregon with the quick answer. Mariota to Carrington for a 56-yd TD. http://t.co/JN800N4EGi 32-20 Ducks. 6:43 left in 3Q
