PHOTO: Notre Dame’s first power conference opponent (this week)

Stanford is rolling into Notre Dame Stadium later today, and somebody at ESPN thinks this is Notre Dame’s first game against a power conference opponent. Notre Dame has already played Michigan and Purdue form the Big Ten and Syracuse from the ACC. This is an obvious error for ESPN. Mistakes happen. In fairness, perhaps the […]

“Hey, Big 12! We’re really good!” — The message BYU wants to send in its bowl game, even though the Big 12 won’t expand next year or the year after that. BYU is trying to plant seeds that will sprout several years down the line.

On Twitter @TheCoachBart A Michigan fan waking up this morning has to feel like the guy walking into a restaurant to see his ex-girlfriend 20 pounds lighter in a mini skirt with some guy that has a brand new Silverado, a better job, and is more attractive. Arizona football’s shocking upset of the Oregon Ducks […]

Among the teams that have unexpectedly risen to the top of a division or conference through week six, Arizona — in the Pac-12 South — seems to have more staying power and has accomplished more to attain its presently lofty perch. Keep this in mind about Arizona football, though: This is the only member of the original Pac-10 (it joined what had been the Pacific-8 in 1978) to have never made the Rose Bowl.

Arizona is certainly a program to watch over the next few weeks, as it tries to shed a history of almost unceasing misery.
