It’s been said that in college football scheduling is a fine craft. Programs usually spend years hashing out the every little detail of the 12 games on their fall schedules, often making commitments (and at times breaking them) years in advance.

Cincinnati at No. 16 Louisville Friday, 8:00 p.m. ESPN Line: Louisville -3.5 Had things turned out a bit differently, Friday night’s matchup been Cincinnati and Louisville could’ve been for all the Tostitos.

Oregon, Florida and Kansas State bolstered their arguments, while Notre Dame (and among the ineligibles, Ohio State) survived. Alabama remains on another planet. Super Six 1.

Was it ugly? Gut-wrenching? Should those with weak constitutions have looked away at several points? Yes, but that’s Big Ten football. It’s beautiful in ways, yet powerfully disturbing in others. One of three prime examples of that today was this year’s bout for the Paul Bunyan Trophy. Former Michigan running back Mike Hart referred to […]

At 7-0 and with victories over Texas A&M, Tennessee and LSU, it’s safe to say that the Florida Gators didn’t need a signature win against South Carolina to impress anyone Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately for the Gamecocks, Florida got one anyway, in a dominating 44-11 victory in the Swamp. Simply put, Florida was the better team […]

In their 17-14 win over BYU, Notre Dame once again proved college football’s oldest adage: It doesn’t matter whether you win pretty or win ugly. Just as long as you win, baby. For the Irish, that is a credo they’ve been living by all year. And it’s one they put to the test against BYU […]
