On Twitter @TheCoachBart It’s hard to tell the exact moment the doctor pulled the sheet over the face of modern Michigan football and announced it DOA. Some would say it was the botched courtship of Les Miles-turned-hiring of Rich Rodriguez. Others would say it was that first losing season since Lyndon Johnson was in office, […]

The SEC West is the toughest division in football, and Bret Bielema left the Big Ten and a 68-24 career record at Wisconsin to take over an Arkansas Razorbacks team that was in rebuilding mode. In year one, Bielema and the Hogs went just 3-9. The Auburn Tigers proved last season that it is possible to […]

The Clemson-Georgia rivalry should be bigger than it is and should mean more than it does. From 1977 to 1987, no rivalry in the country was more closely contested (each team went 5-5-1 against the other, and nine of eleven meetings were settled by seven or fewer points) or nationally significant (from 1980 to 1982, […]

On Twitter @TheCoachBart Well, suffice to say the last time Boise State had a coaching change, it went a little better. That year was 2006, and Chris Petersen was the new guy in charge.

The 2014 college football season is just getting started, and we have a lot of games in front of us. Let’s not turn uncomplicated game summaries into term papers, okay? Here, via Patrick Southern, is your one-tweet summary of Wake Forest’s 17-10 loss to Louisiana-Monroe, keeping in mind that the Demon Deacons scored their touchdown […]

Thursday night marked the first full night of college football for the new season. It also marked the debut of the SEC Network as a live-game broadcast outlet. In the first half of the network’s season premiere game, the Texas A&M-South Carolina clash, the booth team of Brent Musburger and (especially) Jesse Palmer heaped praise […]

South Carolina hosted Texas A&M tonight to kick off the college football season proper. It was an exciting game for Texas A&M as they blasted the Gamecocks 52-28. The following is a twitter recap, tweetcap, of the action. It’s more fun than the game was, for South Carolina fans. Kenny Hill photo via ESPN […]
Where will Mike Gundy coach in 2015? The outcome of the 2014 Bedlam game could very well provide the answer.

Can Oklahoma State’s defense — which loses seven starters and a number of key contributors from last season — stop reigning Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston and the Florida State offense? While it might not seem likely, it may be possible. Courtesy of

Hi. My name is Kevin McGuire and I’m addicted to college football. It had been 233 days since my last experience with college football, but on Wednesday night I let it get the best of me. Part of me was ashamed to get such a thrill by watching Georgia State and Abilene Christian, but the […]

Launch date for the SEC Network is this Thursday, August 14. Richard Deitsch’s panel tackles that subject and much more in a far-ranging media roundtable.

Two years after its launch, I’ve never seen a second of the Pac-12 Network. Apparently, I’m not alone. Meanwhile, Verizon FiOS broke the news to me earlier this week that no longer would I miss a minute of a Paul Finebaum Show simulcast. The SEC Network, which may very well be the crowning achievement in […]

First, I need to bring up a couple of off-the-gridiron issues: College football needs to address the issue of scheduling. There are so many games against FCS competition this weekend […]
