Texas has a new head coach. Bedlam will be a de factor conference championship game. West Virginia looks like a truly solid team, even if it hasn’t been proven over the course of this season because of a weak schedule. Sure, this was far from a banner year for the Big 12. In fact, until […]

There was chaos around the college football country, which was good news for the Big 12. Oklahoma and West Virginia stayed pat, which means that a showdown in Morgantown will determine which of those two will still have a chance at the Playoff if more chaos erupts this week.

The TSS Top 50 Countdown kicked off on June 27, and concluded yesterday with our No. 1 team. Since that’s an awfully long period of time, it’s quite possible that people would have missed a preview or two. With that in mind, here’s the comprehensive list of previews from No. 50 to No. 1. Top […]
Quoting Gomer Pyle, the relationship between rushing yards and Texas Tech’s game results in 2013 rates as a “Suh-PRISE, suh-PRISE, suh-PRISE.”

Grading teams on their non-conference schedules is always a tough task. There are generally two ways to do it. You can either give objective criteria as to what constitutes a good grade, or you can subjectively relate the value of each nonconference game to the team that scheduled it. I don’t like the first choice, […]

I normally don’t make a habit of mimicking anything that ESPN radio host Colin Cowherd does. A few years back, though, he started doing an annual bit in which he would pick sides on a few college football games in the offseason well in advance of the release of point spreads. I thought it was a […]

Instead of rehashing the same ground, let’s take a look 16 teams who either improved or drove their NCAA tournament at large hopes into a brick wall… a brick wall named conference road losses. * Improved Florida – The Gators did something they […]
