Baylor football must fire all its coaches to move forward

The Baylor Board of Regents did the right thing by recommending that Art Briles be terminated after receiving Pepper Hamilton’s findings of fact. By dismissing an extremely successful head coach – the face of the Bear program – the board members let the whole world know the school cares more about the well-being of students than […]

Art Briles suspended with intent to terminate

This morning news broke that Baylor would part ways with their head coach Art Briles. Early this afternoon, this was confirmed by Baylor in this post: Board of Regents apologizes to Baylor Nation; Dr. David Garland named interim University President; Ken Starr transitions to role of Chancellor and remains professor at Baylor University Law School; […]

TSS Roundtable: Which team with a ton of preseason hype will be a paper tiger?

Our ongoing discussion of college football continues today with our second roundtable of the week. This spring and summer, the cast of writers here at the Student Section will discuss what’s going to happen on the gridiron this fall. Yesterday, we discussed which head coach you would pick if you had to win one game. […]

The Big 12’s problem is that it doesn’t merely have one problem. The league has to make numerous adjustments, from non-conference scheduling to the conference title game issue to the split-championship issue which did not help the league’s cause. Oh, and the league might want to consider expanding IF the 12-team requirement for conference title games is upheld in April.

TSS Roundtable: Should the Big 12 Expand?

It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time to kickoff another round of college football roundtables. Thus far, we’ve discussed the best coaching hires, the worst coaching hires, the biggest surprise team, the most disappointing team, impact transfers, and intriguing quarterback situations. Last week, we talked about next year’s NFL draft and sleeping giants in college football. Today, our staff discusses […]

Week 13 Rooting Interests for CFP Contenders

If you have seen our Bubble Watch here at The Student Section, you will remember that we still count 13 teams with a chance at making the College Football Playoff. Some of these teams have worse chances than the others, while some have very clear paths to the Playoff. With only two weeks left in […]

What the Selection Committee Taught Us: Week 12

As always, there was a ton of immediate outrage with the newest committee rankings on social media, but they seem to have shown more consistency overall than they usually do. Let’s start with the talking points at the top and work our way down. First of all, Oklahoma at No. 3 is the first major […]

College Football Playoff Bubble Watch: Week 12

At our count last week, there will still 16 teams left alive in the College Football Playoff hunt. Now, with just two weeks left to go, we are down to 13.

Thoughts, Observations, and Things to Watch For in Week 12

It’s Friday, which means its time for me to tell you what you need to know for this Saturday’s games. Here’s a list of thoughts, observations, and things to watch for in week 12. I don’t know what to make of this weekend’s slate of games. Sure, there are some fantastic tilts on the schedule, […]

What the Selection Committee Taught Us: Week 11

We noted last week that the committee has not been wholly consistent in how far down teams move after suffering a loss, though we can begin to note a pattern this week. Six ranked teams lost last week. Once again, some of them fell further than others. In general, it feels like the amount a […]

College Football Playoff Bubble Watch: Week 11

When we did our Bubble Watch last week, we still had 21 teams left alive in the College Football Playoff race. After a chaotic week last week, though, we are now down to 16. Utah, UCLA, Mississippi State, and LSU were all eliminated with losses. LSU’s resume actually isn’t bad; it compares relatively well with […]
