For weeks I have been on record saying East Carolina is the frontrunner in the Gang of Five access bowl hunt. After last night’s performance against Connecticut, and with the display of futility put on by Virginia Tech a little more than 300 miles northwest of Greensboro, I am not as certain as I once […]

Usually I feature one game during my “Flashback Friday” column, but this week I thought it would be interesting to take a video look back at a famous rivalry that has lost a bit of luster. If you just became a fan of college football, you might not be familiar with the “Third Saturday in […]

Halloween is a week away, but Illinois will be looking like ghosts this weekend when the Illini take on Minnesota in Big Ten action. To be more specific, Illinois will look like Galloping Ghosts in honor of an Illini legend who also happens to be one of the most significant figures in the sport’s history. […]

Not much went wrong for Miami on Thursday night against Virginia Tech. This was a rare exception:

A good Heisman campaign needs a good hype video and Fox Sports Live has created a video of a fictional Nintendo game called “Super Mariota” for Oregon’s QB Marcus Mariota. Score one for nostalgia

It was born, in theory, out of good intentions. That is the most frustrating thing about the massive academic fraud situation that is took place for nearly two decades at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. That scandal, which involved thousands of students and student-athletes taking part in a “shadow curriculum” of paper classes within […]

It’s one of the laws of college football physics: When anyone says that a given week is going to be dull, at least in certain spots, that week — especially the supposedly dull game window — springs to life. Last week, that law was violated. In the week-eight viewer’s guide, the 3:30 window was characterized […]

The past week in college football featured one very important call the officials and replay booth got correct, whereas fans and writers watching on television were wrong (but understandably so). More about that incident will come later in this piece, but first, let’s hit the most ridiculous aspects of the week that was. * LENGTH […]

The end is near for Will Muschamp and around every corner it’s staring him right in the face. This time somebody took to Craigslist to post for applicants for his job. A couple of highlights from the posting….. – Because UF is a DESTINATION coaching job, applicants must have ALREADY had head coaching experience. – […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Follow TSS @TheStudentSect Like peering off into the distance and seeing the clouds whir by with a black sky on the horizon, sometimes, things are just easy to see coming. So you get that lawn cut just a little quicker than you otherwise would. When the College Football Playoff was created and […]

Last night, the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns beat the Arkansas State Red Wolves in a 55-40 shoot-out. The play of the game came in the second quarter when Michael Gordon ran up the middle, appeared to be tackled and then got up and ran for a 70 yard TD. You make the call, tackle or no […]
How Mark Richt fills the vacancy on his staff at the offensive coordinator position carries a lot of weight for the remainder of his tenure in Athens (however long that tenure will be).

The University of Georgia broke their silence regarding star RB Todd Gurley, saying that it will file for reinstatement today…. On the Todd Gurley matter:

The toughest teams for me personally to rank are mid-majors (or, since I hate that term, teams that are commonly referred to as mid-majors). Even with the increased parity in college basketball, watching Gonzaga destroy WCC team after WCC team does not provide clarity into whether this Gonzaga squad, as the yearly refrain goes, is […]

The mind of the modern fan is notorious for selective hearing when it comes to the national dialogue about a favorite team. I don’t think I’m wrong, though, when I say the conversation about Oklahoma and its head coach has a pretty familiar glide path every time the Sooners lose: Stop me if you’ve heard […]
