The committee has been pretty inconsistent this season in how it adjusts its rankings from week to week. Two weeks ago, in its second rankings of the year, the committee went with chalk. Teams that lost dropped a few (inconsistent) places, while other teams just slid up to take those places. Last week, we saw […]

I have been saying for a month now that the leading contenders in the College Football Playoff race had a huge lead on the field. With losses by Ohio State, Michigan, Clemson, and Washington in the last month, that lead has shrunk. However, the fact remains that that gap is still there. And it could […]

Psychological studies have found that around 20 percent of people are chronic procrastinators. Let’s hope they have Heisman Trophy votes. Heisman voting started today, which is inherently stupid seeing as the most impacting games of the college football season probably have yet to be played. That means people with voting rights can access their ballots […]

After 12 weeks, we finally have some serious upheaval in the Big 12. The state of Texas went 0-4, and gets an honorary last-place spot in this week’s rankings. Also, Kansas moves out of the basement because the Jayhawks finally won a game. (And, because honestly, they didn’t look like the worst team in the […]

If Texas has decided to fire Charlie Strong – as CBS has reported – it’s making the wrong choice. He deserved another season to turn things around. Make no mistake about it: Strong walked into a very bad situation at Texas. After playing for the national championship in 2009, the team struggled with mediocrity, losing […]

The Wyoming Cowboys mounted a furious fourth quarter comeback to defeat San Diego State 34-33. Here are three takeaways from this exciting contest. 1. Wyoming is good enough to win the Mountain West conference Even though the Cowboys beat Boise earlier in the year, a lot of people didn’t think that they would win the […]

The Oklahoma Sooners are trouncing West Virginia in Morgantown. This Dede Westbrook touchdown early in the game was an exclamation point on how the day has gone for the Mountaineers….. Dede Westbrook threw down a linebacker…

Ranked No. 10 in the primary AP Top 25 Poll of the campaign, no one expected the Fighting Irish to be scrapping for a mediocre bowl game over its final two matchups. Yet again, though, Notre Dame (4-7) showed off its maddening inconsistency in a 34-31 loss to Virginia Tech (8-3) on senior day. Trailing 31-21 […]

It won’t make anyone’s highlight reel unless they’re specifically paid to over-analyze Michigan football, but it happened in the middle of the third quarter, down 10-6 against Indiana, who’s made being pesky a cottage industry under Kevin Wilson. Backup quarterback turned starter John O’Korn got pressure up the middle and squeezed through, rolling out to […]

As elation and field-rushing cascaded over Folsom Field, a smiling Mike MacIntyre said it all about his mission as the Colorado head coach in an on-field interview. “We just want to make CU great again.” Well, after dispensing of Washington State behind a 24-7 second half, they’re one win (or one Southern Cal loss) away […]

The Florida Gators defeated the LSU Tigers 16-10 to earn an appearance in the SEC title game. Make no mistake about it: this was a huge win for Jim McElwain’s squad. Sure, LSU had three losses coming into this contest, but the Tigers have played like a completely different team under the leadership of Ed […]

This week got off with a bang, with Louisville crashing out of the Playoff race and Troy falling out of the Group of 5 auto-bid race. In short, Thursday night was a bad night for ranked teams that lost to Clemson by six points. (I don’t think this means that Auburn should be on upset […]
