0 comments by on 12/10/2016

Amid the Wildcats’ run to a national title last season, head coach Jay Wright’s unit boasted tremendous defensive spurts.

With 13:17 left in the contest, the […]

Shawn Elliott not the best choice to lead Georgia State, but don’t be surprised if he succeeds

0 comments by on 12/9/2016

Sorry, Georgia State fans, but Shawn Elliott was not the best choice to lead the Panther program. That’s not to say that Elliott isn’t a great coach. He is. In fact, Elliott is one of the top offensive line coaches in college football, having developed several top-quality units at both Appalachian State and South Carolina […]

Preps to Pros? Five college coaches the NFL may come after this year

0 comments by

Would you believe we’re going on about three years since an NFL team poached a college coach, and that was the Houston Texans with Bill O’Brien, whom no one thought was too long for the college game as it is? The argument probably goes along with the fact that recently, the collegiate ranks haven’t really […]

Ranking the college football bowl games: Which are the ones to watch?

0 comments by on 12/7/2016

College football has 40 scheduled FBS Bowl Games this year, with a National Championship Game to follow them all. Additionally, starting last year, ESPN put together a “HBCU National Championship” called the Celebration Bowl, to be contested between the champions of the two HBCU conferences. It’s not an FBS Bowl, though, so it won’t be ranked […]

CFB Playoffs this year show why we should never go to 8 teams. Ever.

0 comments by on 12/6/2016

We do this autopsy every stinking year around this time, after the four teams picked for the CFB Playoff are announced to a world just waiting to rip them apart with negativity no matter what the result. Through three years of this thing, the committee has mostly gotten it right, at least in the sense […]

Penn State can prove it belonged in the College Football Playoff with a win against USC

0 comments by

Penn State can prove that it deserved a spot in the College Football Playoff by winning the Rose Bowl. Make no mistake about it: Nittany Lion players and fans have every right to be disappointed in the Selection Committee’s decision. After all, Penn State won (arguably) the toughest conference in college football, and beat Ohio […]

The College Football Playoff committee is making the rules up as it goes along

0 comments by

The College Football Playoff Committee was already faced with an impossible task this year: plug five teams into four slots. But in the three years the committee has been in existence, they haven’t done themselves any favors in making their job easier. We all welcomed the advent of the College Football Playoff and the doubling in […]

CFB Playoff committee sets dangerous precedent in picking OSU over PSU

0 comments by on 12/4/2016

To be honest, there was no good answer, but there was no bad answer, either. When it came to picking the four teams that would participate in the CFB Playoffs, 2017 version, any amalgam of Alabama, Clemson, Washington, Ohio State, and/or Penn State was going to be justifiable. But to wit, any combination of those […]

The San Diego State Aztecs defeated Wyoming 27-24 to win the Mountain West Conference championship. Make no mistake about it: this was an impressive victory for Rocky Long’s squad. After all, the Aztecs had the burden of playing the game in Laramie, where the ‘Pokes have been tough to beat this season. In fact, Wyoming […]

Penn State wins B1G Championship, gives CFP committee plenty to ponder

0 comments by

Penn State capped off an unbelievable season by rallying from a 21-point deficit to beat Wisconsin 38-31 in the Big Ten Championship game on Saturday night. There’s sure to be a New Year’s Six bowl in the future as a reward, but could there be more? Just as we expected, a team from the Big […]
