A total of 80 men coached teams in the 40 bowl games which have just run their course. No man coached a better game than Tom Herman of Houston. The commander of the Cougars had his team ready to compete, hit, and perform at a desired tempo against Florida State in the Peach Bowl. Houston […]

The Southeastern Conference enjoyed a terrific bowl season this year. Eight bowl wins is a record for any single conference. An 8-2 record is undeniably strong, a record which points to pronounced consistency in a larger number of games than conferences which had seven bowl games or fewer. The SEC, spread across 10 games, packed […]

I am not at all a fan of judging conferences based on bowl results, and certainly not based on only one season. There aren’t enough bowl games (I’m serious) to get a proper read on conference strength. The bowl games are about individual matchups and teams. With enough of those, we can get a bit […]

There is only one game left in the 2015 college football season. It’s sad. It’s exciting that we get what looks like a really good College Football Playoff National Championship Game, but it’s a little sad that we will then have to go almost eight months without any college football that counts in the standings. […]

A week ago, I gave you my bowl grades for the first week of bowl season. With all of the bowls now completed (aside from the national championship Game), here are my grades […]

College basketball is about to partake in another week with a new No. 1 team atop the AP Top-25 poll, as the Michigan State Spartans fell to the Iowa Hawkeyes without Denzel Valentine who is still out due to injury. With the Kansas Jayhawks likely moving up from their No. 2 spot to college basketball’s […]

Now here’s something you don’t see everyday…. Arizona State with the elusive defensive 2-point conversion

One of the greatest runs in college football history came to an end on Friday. One year after winning the Sugar Bowl and a College Football Playoff national championship, Ohio State ushered out its senior class with a convincing 44-28 win over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. That senior class is one of only two […]

Michigan State this season was described with all the adjectives football types like to use for teams deemed “tough.” Hard-nosed. Physical. Full of grinders. High compete level. Except this team hadn’t played anyone like Alabama, and the Crimson Tide whipped the Spartans every which way for 60 minutes. The final score was 38-0, but it […]

Just in case y’all didn’t know, this four team playoff thing is working out just fine. Much like last year, where there wasn’t much suspense in the end, there was resolution. This is the bill of goods everyone wanted to purchase … finality over drama and controversy. Hope everyone is happy. Flatly put, Alabama dismantled […]

Ole Miss has opened up their Sugar Bowl match-up against Oklahoma State in a big way. Laquon Treadwell has two TD catches and he set the second one up with this trick play where he threw a 45 yard completion! Trick Play! Treadwell to Wilkins

If there really was a Buffalo Wild Wings “button” to alter the course of football games, Florida would probably have been banging it shortly after halftime in hopes that there’s a “fast forward” option. The Citrus Bowl was a match up of two teams on the up after bringing in new Jims to restore their […]

Each team entered the Cotton Bowl with a different game plan. However, one was clearly more effective than the other. Despite the fact that Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry entered this game with 90 carries in his past two games combined, the Tide’s coaches were convinced that the way to beat Michigan State was with […]

The biggest play in the first half of the Cotton Bowl as probably this interception at the goalline by Alabama defender Cyrus Jones. His pick kept Michigan State out of the end zone and preserved Bama’s 10-0 first half lead…. Cyrus Jones with the goalline INT
