One week. It’s not much, but it’s something. One week. After eight months of pure talk, the nation’s FBS college football teams finally took the field in live games. We should know by now that “it’s only one game,” and that late-August football is a supremely volatile creature. The first three to four weeks of […]
LSU’s win over Wisconsin and Auburn’s win over Kansas State did more to shape perceptions (and resumes) in the 2014 college football season than any other non-conference games. This point cannot be forgotten when a full account of the season is ultimately rendered.

You’re going to read a lot more about week one of the new college football season in the coming days at The Student Section. After eight months of speculation, live games have returned to our world, and the annual vastness of the offseason makes week one feel like a sensory overload. You’ll get plenty of […]

Thanks to a number of offseason incidents, many wondered what to expect from the Georgia defense this fall under the leadership of new defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt. After Saturday night’s contest against Clemson, there’s no doubt that the Dawg defense will be one of the best units in the country. That’s not to suggest the […]

North Dakota State might be the best kept secret in college football, although we’re not sure why. The Bison have 11 national championships and have won three straight FCS national championships. During those three years they have gone 43-2. Coming into today’s game against Iowa State, the Bison had won four straight games against FBS competition: 2010 […]

We all remember Georgia Southern’s historic upset of Florida last season. Could the Eagles pull off another one this year when they traveled to Raleigh to play North Carolina State? The Eagles took the lead early and held onto it until very late in the fourth quarter when QB Jacoby Brissett hit Matt Dayes on […]
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.

Despite its lackluster showing against Navy, Ohio State proved that it’s still a contender for Big Ten – and possibly national championship – honors this fall. Make no mistake about it: the Buckeyes were far from perfect today. Navy’s ground game dominated this contest at times, rushing for 370 yards and an average of 5.9 […]

The James Franklin era began in Dublin, Ireland, on Saturday, and the Nittany Lions’ new coach was able to celebrate a last-play win over the UCF Knights. His kicker, Sam Ficken, was straight and true on a field goal at the final gun. Here was the moment coach and kicker shared together, at 0:26 of […]

It’s only Week 1, but this run might be a candidate for play of the year despite not producing a TD. How many total yards do you think

This shouldn’t be seen as representative of most Oklahoma State fans, but a few “Pokes partisans” managed to pull off the “insensitive and very probably foolish since you’re likely to lose big” daily double near the College GameDay set on the morning of the Cowboys’ game against Florida State.

The Houston Cougars opened their gleaming new ballpark, TDECU Stadium, Friday night, thinking they would build on a very encouraging 2013 season and smack the Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners. They didn’t. Here was Houston’s night in one photo, courtesy of
