Oklahoma jumps Texas in BCS, earns Big 12 title game berth
Oh BCS, you’ve gone and done it again! By virtue of being #2 in the new BCS standings, Oklahoma has a place in the Big 12 title game against Missouri and a chance to tie up a berth in the national title game against either Florida or Alabama. On the outside looking in is Texas, [...]
Heisman Watch: All eyes on Norman
If you don’t feel like reading, just scroll on down for my top five Heisman candidates. On Saturday, Sam Bradford and Oklahoma host Graham Harrell and Texas Tech in a game that has Big 12 title, national title, and Heisman Trophy implications. Graham Harrell enters the weekend atop my list and many others. If Texas [...]
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 [...]
Heisman Watch: Looking to Lubbock
Harrell or Crabtree? So simple, but so difficult to decide who’s the Heisman front-runner this week. Is it the guy who threw the game-winning touchdown pass, or the guy who caught it. Crabtree’s year hasn’t been as prolific as last year, but 70 catches, 921 yards, and 15 touchdowns through nine games isn’t shabby. More [...]
With Texas falling, who should be the new #1?
After three weeks with Texas holding the top spot in the polls, there’s going to be a new man at the top of the totem pole when the new rankings come out, after Texas Tech scored with one tick left to knock off the #1 Longhorns in a wild one in Lubbock. But who will [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
2008 Big 12 Preview: Sooners look to continue dominance, but it won’t be easy
Last season, the North saw a resurgence in the Big 12, as Missouri and Kansas rose to the top of the division and to the national polls. But in the end, it was Oklahoma who reigned supreme yet again, as the Sooners captured their sixth Big 12 South title in eight seasons and their fifth [...]
2008 Texas Longhorns Preview
Last season wasn’t quite the season that Texas probably hoped for, but it was a good season nonetheless. The Longhorns started the season 4-0, but losses to Kansas State and Oklahoma in their first two Big 12 games dealt a huge blow to their conference title hopes. But, Texas reeled off five straight wins to [...]
