College Football Week 10 Picks: Best of the Rest
In my other college football picks post, I previewed and gave my picks for this week’s top 25 games, and below are my picks for 10 of the top games involving unranked teams this week. As with the other picks, and any that you see here on The Red Zone Report, the lines are brought [...]
What to watch this weekend (Oct 3-5)
Last week, college football fans saw four top ten teams (Ole Miss, Penn State, Cal and Miami) lose in disheartening fashion. While the upsets this weekend will likely not be as poll-shattering, Saturday’s slate features three crucial contests between ranked teams that will continue to add pieces to the puzzle that is college football. Likewise, [...]
No reason for Paterno to be scared of the big bad Delany
A few weeks ago, Penn State coach Joe Paterno made a call for the Big Ten to follow the path of the SEC, Big 12, and ACC to expand to 12 teams in an attempt to help the Big Ten be a bigger factor on the national stage. But last week, Paterno took a much [...]
2009 NFL Draft Team Grades – AFC South
We’ve gone through draft grades for the AFC East and AFC North, and now it’s time to give our take on how we think the teams from the loaded AFC South did in the 2009 NFL Draft. Houston Texans Grade: B- Best: Brian Cushing, OLB, USC Cushing is perfect for either outside linebacker position, and [...]
Florida-Oklahoma championship showdown headlines BCS matchups
There was a small chance that the BCS could’ve went a little nutty and spit out an Oklahoma-Texas rematch for the national championship, but after the coaches’ poll revealed Oklahoma and Florida to be 1-2, there was little surprise as to who would be playing for the national title. Of course, even Urban Meyer probably [...]
College Football Roundup: It’s not funny anymore, ACC
This weekend’s college football schedule was pretty light, but there was no shortage of action. There weren’t any earth-shattering upsets, which is why the top half of the new polls are mostly intact heading into next weekend, which will see several big games (Oklahoma-Texas Tech, Penn State-Michigan State, Cincinnati-Pittsburgh, Central Michigan-Ball State). I’ll leave the [...]
BlogPoll Ballot Week 9
It’s been a little while since I posted up my BlogPoll ballot for all to dissect, but I thought I’d do it with the last one for October to at least make up for the sporadic posting throughout the month. I usually wait until the last minute to do my ballot, but I had In [...]
CFB Channel Cruisin’ Week 5: Oregon St.-USC, Georgia-Alabama headline this week
Last week, college football TV viewers were treated to a few exciting matchups (LSU’s last-minute win over Auburn), some big performances (Javon Ringer’s 200-yard day against Notre Dame), and a dud or two (Florida putting Tennessee over their knee in Knoxville). This week, there are quite a few intriguing matchups. We’re starting to really get [...]
Pryor to replace Boeckman as Ohio State’s starting QB?
Could a quarterback controversy be brewing in Columbus? After two sub-par performances by Todd Boeckman against Ohio and USC, highly-touted freshman Terrelle Pryor has been getting the better percentage of the snaps with the first team this week in practice for the Buckeyes, ahead of this weekend’s game against Troy. It hasn’t been decided as [...]
CFB Channel Cruisin’ Week 3: It’s the big one!
After what amounted to an in-between week produced a couple of upsets and a few more near-upsets, this week is the one we’ve been waiting for. There’s the big one, which really needs no introduction (but I’ll be doing a preview of it anyway), but you’ve got plenty of action before (and during and after) [...]
