Less than one week ago, with what appeared to be three easy games remaining in their conference schedule, experts penciled in a then undefeated Penn State team into the national championship game.  After all, how could the mighty Nittany Lions lose to either Iowa, Indiana or Michigan State. Well, they did.  To Iowa.  And that’s why they play the games. With that poll-rattling upset, the Florida Gators, despite not being ranked number one, are now the consensus favorite to reach the ...Read More

And when we think of 'storied,' we (most of us, at least) think of sustained success, championships, and ...Read More

The Sunshine State has long been a hotbed for college football. With an abundance of high school talent leaving for college every year, Florida schools have their pick of the litter of some of the nation’s best athletes. For as long as anyone can remember, at least one of the big three (Florida, Florida State and Miami) has been a factor in the national championship picture. In the past ten years, all three of these schools have ...Read More

What would you be thinking today if you are Gregg Williams? Williams has interviewed for the vacant Washington Redskins job 4 times. He has been in the same organization as owner Dan Snyder since 2004 as the defensive coordinator, and more than one interview seems excessive.  He is the favorite candidate according to the players and fans and is said to have been the major glue that helped keep the team together and help them rally during the passing of safety ...Read More
