There is just one game left in the season, and there are true few scenarios left. In all honesty, only seven — maybe an eight, but we’ll get to that — schools have a real shot at the Playoff, and four of those are in the Big Ten. Alabama and Ohio State are locks. Clemson […]

The Army – Navy game won’t hold up the bowl selection process

Despite reports to the contrary, I don’t think the College Football Playoff Selection Committee will hold up the bowl selection process to wait on the results of the Army – Navy game. Yet, that’s what some people are afraid of. And, it actually makes sense when you think about it. If Western Michigan loses to […]

College Football Playoff Bubble Watch: Week 14

We are down to the final weekend of the college football season. It’s conference championship weekend in every conference other than the Sun Belt and Big 12, which has a de facto championship game in Bedlam. It is clear that Alabama and Ohio State are Playoff locks, even if some are nervous about Ohio State […]

Dan Mullen has given new life to his career, putting together what is by far his best season as a head coach. Yet, a loss to Georgia Tech would leave a lot of national commentators saying that MSU was more a mirage than the picture of flesh and substance.

The Oregon Ducks should hire Dan Mullen

The Oregon Ducks should hire Dan Mullen as their next head coach. Make no mistake about it: UO is the best job in the country. Since that’s the case, the school will have no shortage of qualified candidates that are interested in the position. But, Mullen would make the most sense. That’s not to take […]

For the first time in 40 years, Oregon will be hiring a football coach looking outside the program, and unlike those 4 decades ago, it’s the best job in the nation.

Alabama Crimson Tide cannot afford to lose to Florida

The Alabama Crimson Tide cannot afford to lose to Florida in the SEC Championship game this weekend. That’s not to say that the Crimson Tide wouldn’t make the College Football Playoff if it should lose to the Gators this weekend. According to the Colley Matrix, Alabama has four wins against the top 25 and eight […]

Week 13 Big 12 Power Rankings

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 […]
