Utah at #2 in the AP? Something smells of…correctness
Some love him, some hate him, some envy him, but you can’t argue with the fact that Urban Meyer is one heck of a program builder. Florida was crowned BCS national champion last night with their 24-14 victory over Oklahoma, and as expected, the Gators finished #1 in the AP poll today, getting 48 first-place [...]
Bowl Predictions: Humanitarian, Texas, and Holiday
There’s a trio of bowl games on tap for today, and the offenses stand to take the lion’s share of the headlines. First up is the Humanitarian Bowl this afternoon, where Nevada will look to triumph over ACC foe Maryland on WAC rival Boise State’s home field. Tonight in Houston, you’ve got two of the [...]
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 [...]
November will make or break Heisman hopes of McCoy and others
I feel pretty safe in saying that the next few weeks of the college football season will go a long way towards deciding the winner of the 2008 Heisman Trophy. With all due respect to the likes of Michigan State’s Javon Ringer or Missouri’s Chase Daniel, who was on many a preseason favorite list, the [...]
Saturday Shuffle: Upsets, upsets, and more upsets!
The Shuffle certainly has an appropriate name this week, doesn’t it? Instead of doing the usual Saturday Shuffle tonight, I thought I’d devote tonight’s shuffle to all of the shuffling and shaking up that there’ll be in the upcoming polls thanks to an upset-filled week to cap September. Every college football season, there seems to [...]
Bea-lieve it! Rodgers and Rodgers show leads Oregon State past top-ranked USC
So much for USC being the undisputed best team in the country, eh? For the second straight time, USC went into Corvallis, fell behind big, rallied, and came up short as the top-ranked Trojans fell 27-21 to Oregon St., a repeat of their 33-31 loss two years ago. In 2006, USC fell behind 33-10 in [...]
One potential BCS buster out, one in as ECU goes down and Boise St. upsets Oregon
On a day when one BCS buster hopeful saw their dreams come to an end, another one held on to their hopes by a thread, and another not-so-new face moved into the picture. After escaping by the hair of their chinny chin chins last week at Tulane, East Carolina thought they could do the same [...]
CFB Channel Cruisin’ Week 4: Rivalries and non-conference matchups highlight this week’s slate
After an exciting week last week, there’s no game that’s the caliber of USC-Ohio State, but there’s not a letdown in the least. This weekend’s slate offers up several rivalry games, a few key early conference matchups, and some good non-conference showdowns as well, and it all gets started tonight. That’s right, tonight, which is [...]
Where do USC and Ohio State go from here?
After months and months of hype and buildup, USC and Ohio State finally took to the field on Saturday, and if you were looking for an exciting game, the only way that you got your fill was if you were a USC fan or anyone who’s anti-Ohio State, as the Trojans pulled away in the [...]
Saturday Shuffle: Arizona State falls, ECU survives, Ringer runs wild, and more
There were other games on Saturday besides USC-Ohio State? Well, I’m not sure how much of a game that beating was, but back on topic! It was a wild, action-packed day, which started with a top-25 team from the Pac-10 going down and ended with a top-25 team from the Pac-10 going down, one of [...]
