For anyone who has read my work throughout this fall, you likely know that entering the season, I wasn’t very high on the Florida Gators. And when I say “Not very high,” that’s really just a nice way of saying that I thought they’d suck. As in, “lucky to get back to seven regular season […]

Items of interest to get you ready for today’s action: * The biggest game, with the most meaningful implications is pretty clearly Arkansas at Alabama. The loser falls behind the eight-ball in the SEC West, and with each still having to play some combination of LSU, Mississippi State and Auburn, neither can afford a loss. […]

If a writer such as myself were to describe Friday’s Central Florida-BYU game in one word, it’d likely be “interesting.” Looking at the box score really does defy all logic. Central Florida outgained BYU by a comfortable margin (399 yards to 260), had more first downs, controlled time of possession and at times dominated the […]

So let’s recap my own personal Cherynobl Meltdown last week. Wins: West Virginia vs Maryland over of 58 Losses: Pitt +3Auburn +3Michigan State *5 Overall record: 7-7 What we learned: Wisconsin is really good. There was some talk of a Northern Illinois cover and upset last week. Wisconsin blew their doors off. Russell Wilson has […]

Another week, another chance for our staff to drop some knowledge. Here is the Crystal Ball Run, Week 4 staff picks! Notre Dame at Pittsburgh: Saturday, 12:00 p.m. ABC Tom Perry’s Take: Notre Dame finally put together a solid performance en route to a nice win over previously ranked Michigan State, but the Irish still […]

Josh does a weekly column for Crystal Ball Run, chronicling his trips to stadiums nationwide (his goal is to get to all 120 FBS […]

There is lack of job security. There is a severe lack of job security. And then there was the tenuous situation between the Big XII, and conference commissioner Dan Beebe. The two sides have famously clashed for a while now, and it was almost assured that if the conference were to be saved, Beebe would […]

As a two-time B1G Ten alumnus, I was outraged. Apparently, the Pittsburgh Panthers were up for grabs and somebody in Chicago was asleep at his desk and lost the chance to add a marquee program to the conference. Pittsburgh and the University of Syracuse bailed on the Big East to jump at the invitation to […]

Today’s question is really simple: We are now through three weeks of the season, meaning that for some teams, we can officially file a “quarterly report,” on what we’ve seen so far. So I ask you, through three weeks, what is the thing- over the course of the entire college football landscape- that has surprised […]

One of the more bizarre side processes of all this conference realignment is that you just never know what will pop up on any given day. One week ago it seemed as though Pittsburgh and Syracuse were happy, healthy members of the Big East. Now they’re packing their bags for the ACC. In the Midwest, […]
