After the seventh week of the 2014 college football season, it sure seemed that a repeat of the crazy 2007 season was a distinct possibility. In 2007, Pittsburgh (above, cover photo) stunned West Virginia on the final Saturday of the regular season to knock the Mountaineers out of the BCS National Championship Game. On that […]

Would you be nervous if you spoke to the College Football Playoff Selection Committee today or any time before the start of the Pac-12 Championship Game on Friday night? It wouldn’t be a congressional committee or an executive committee, but it would be the committee that will make college football history on the sport’s first-ever […]

It had a few marquee games, some other games (to put it mildly for teams such as Clemson and Northwestern), and a lot of storylines. WINNERS Duke Blue Devils Holy hell, this team is […]

It’s an Alabama highlight but it’s not from the football team. I know…I’m surprised too. Check out this awesome dunk by Levi Randolph off of a USF turnover… Alabama went on to win the game 82-71 to move to 5-1 on the season.

The identity of Rick Pitino teams holds true for this new Louisville squad: The Cardinals once again possess athletic defenders who close off passing lanes and revel in a high-energy, helter-skelter style of basketball. The victim Tuesday night was Ohio State, a team which — unlike Louisville — thrived in settled halfcourt situations. The Cardinals’ relentless […]

Put three college football writers in a room to talk about the Nebraska coaching search. Add water. Watch three different views sprout in three different directions. This is the joy of opinion-giving. You don’t need to take the cookie cutter from the kitchen drawer. Why are views of the Nebraska coaching search so different? There […]

Author @TheCoachBart Well, we’re only one week away from DOOM one way or another. The CFB Playoff committee seems to just be pulling things out of the hat, so for the sake of being decent people, why not help those 12 people along and let them know which semifinal playoff matchups we (you?) would probably […]

School president Ray Watts informed the team of the decision in a tense meeting Tuesday afternoon.

Florida is preparing for a late-season conference and tournament run in an interesting way: with close early-season battles against strong competition. Challenging early games, mixed with combining some new players on the floor, make it a bit too early for the Gators to panic… even though it might seem panic is warranted. With last Friday’s […]

Follow TSS on Twitter @TheStudentSect Author @TheCoachBart Head football coach Brady Hoke is out at Michigan … officially … which comes with all of the surprise of turning on the shower and getting wet. It’s a sad ending to a Michigan football era that seems perpetually sifting through its pockets to find change to put […]

The news broke on Monday that Baylor has hired a PR firm to help make the Bears’ case for the College Football Playoff. It’s hard to deny the notion that Baylor is worried that a possible Big 12 championship — which would be claimed with a win over Kansas State this weekend — won’t mean […]

Rivalry games are unique creatures in the world of college football. They serve as examples of games in which the records of teams don’t always matter, and in which the margins of victory might not reflect the quality (or weakness) of the teams involved. How should the College Football Playoff Selection Committee evaluate this particular […]

This is from Charlie Daniel of the Knoxville News Sentinel. The cartoon sums up Vols fans feelings about which bowl their team will be going to this season since they haven’t been bowling since 2010….

After his record-setting day on Nov. 15 against Nebraska, Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon has had a slim lead at the top of the poll. Would he be able to hold off Oregon’s Marcus Mariota after the Pac-12 star’s performance in the Civil War game? Alabama’s Amari Cooper had a big game in the Iron Bowl, while […]
