No. 4 LSU at No. 10 Florida Saturday, 3:30 p.m. CBS Line: LSU -2 ½ As recently as just a few weeks ago, an October 6th matchup between LSU and Florida seemed like it might be a bit of a bore. The Tigers entered the season a consensus Top 3 team, while the Gators were […]

Since taking over at UCLA last December, new head coach Jim L. Mora has been known for one thing: His near-maniacal intensity. That intensity led to him throwing his own team out of practice in summer camp. It led to him kicking the

Last season, the Nebraska Cornhuskers were welcomed to the Big Ten with a remorseless 48-17 pummeling courtesy of the Wisconsin Badgers. The following week, the Huskers found themselves down 20-6 to the Ohio State Buckeyes at the half. Following a strip of then-freshman Braxton Miller by Nebraska linebacker Lavonte David, the Huskers completed the largest […]

A wild 51-44 game between Georgia and Tennessee didn’t have the look, feel or final score of your typical SEC showdown. But while there was plenty to take away from one of the wackiest games we’ve seen this season, there were two things more important than the rest: For Georgia, this victory was about surviving, […]

Your standard 2012 Big Ten football took place between Ohio State and Michigan State before a football game broke out. The teams traded blows early on before the Buckeyes landed an initial hard smack to the jaw of Sparty in the form of a one-yard Jordan Hall touchdown putting OSU up 7-0. The second quarter […]

No. 25 Baylor at No. 9 West Virginia, Saturday, 12:00 p.m. FX Tom Perry’s Take: Baylor quarterback Nick Florence presents a huge challenge for a WVU defense that has made big plays, but has also had trouble getting off the field on third down.

It’s the gift and the curse of college football in September: You can’t trust anyone. A team which looks like world-beaters one week will be terrible the next. A school will pull an upset you never saw coming on a certain Saturday then get upset themselves seven days later. A club will start the season […]

Over the years, West Virginia’s football fans have garnered a bit of a reputation for being some of the craziest in college football. It’s a reputation that dates back many decades and was only heightened with the decision to sell alcohol inside Milan-Puskar Stadium for the first time last season. However above all, there […]

No. 23 Wisconsin vs. No. 20 Nebraska Saturday, 8:00 PM ABC Line: Nebraska -11.5 Prepare to see the unthinkable in Lincoln as not only will the Badgers be wearing alternative uniforms, but the Huskers will take to the field in black helmets and scarlet from neck to foot. There’s also a football game taking place, […]

Tennessee at No. 5 Georgia Saturday, 3:30 p.m., CBS Line: Georgia -13 Well, Derek Dooley, now is the time. It’s been nearly two-and-a-half years since you’ve arrived on Rocky Top, and while your program has improved exponentially since Day 1, it still isn’t entirely showing up in the win column. At some point you’ve got […]

First it was Nebraska-Oklahoma. Then Texas-Texas A&M. And next, The Backyard Brawl, between Pittsburgh and West Virginia. All great rivalries, all ruined by college football realignment. And on Tuesday morning, another great rivalry was taken away from us, when it was announced that starting in 2015 Notre Dame and Michigan will play no more. The […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Da6K0a5RPUA As you may remember, last week we tipped you off to a video called “The Dark Chiz Rises," a goofy Batman spoof, which “starred” Gene Chizik as Bruce Wayne, trying to save a crumbling Gotham City… or in this case, a crumbling college football program down on the Plains. It’s safe to say that […]
