The Southeastern Conference: Holder of the last seven BCS National Titles. A league viewed by its supporters as the best conference in the country and by its detractors as a league that is overhyped by the media. But we are not here to try and moderate that debate today, though. Today, we are here to […]

  Southern California was the dominant program in the Pac-12 in the first half of the 2000s. Oregon ascended to prominence in the late 2000s, and lately Stanford has asserted its will over the league. That’s not to say, however, that the Pac-12 is a league with one giant and eleven dwarves. In fact, the […]

  There are six schools that are serving as independent football programs this season, up from four last year. With the demise of the WAC as a football conference, New Mexico State and Idaho were left to fend for themselves in 2013 (both schools will rejoin the Sun Belt in 2014 as affiliate members). Old […]

  This is year two of the leaner, meaner, cleaner, greener Big 12 conference. Okay, so the cleaner and greener statements are not accurate, and the meaner part might be up for debate. But the league is definitely leaner and seems to have stabilized after a couple of years of upheaval in the realignment skirmishes. […]

  For most of its history, the Big Ten has been a model of stability. Of course, with the realignment games finally coming to a conclusion (or at the very least, a détente), the Big Ten has not found itself immune to change. First was the addition of Nebraska to bring the league to twelve […]

  The Sun Belt is not that deep right now. The conference lost one of its better teams when Middle Tennessee State University departed for Conference USA. Florida International and Florida Atlantic also have transitioned out of the league. In their place, the Sun Belt has added Georgia State and Texas State-San Marcos for this […]

  The tectonic plates of conference realignment appear to have ceased shifting at this time. Sure, there are a few minor moves that still have to officially occur, but the announcements of which team(s) will be joining which league(s) are over and done with for now. Conference USA was a league that was hit hard […]

  Conference USA has served as something of a way station since the league came into existence nearly 20 years ago. As a league born of a merger, it is fitting that so many teams have moved through C-USA. Like many other leagues, C-USA is in the midst of a membership change, with six brand […]

  The Notre Dame quarterback position took another hit on Saturday as it was learned that last year's signal caller Everett Golson was no longer enrolled at the institution. What started out as rumors on Twitter on Saturday afternoon was confirmed by Notre Dame on Saturday evening to WNDU-TV. Notre Dame spokesman Dennis Brown, citing […]

After a couple of years of uncertainty and shifting membership during the tumultuous conference realignment battles of 2010-2013, the Mountain West Conference finds itself in a position of relative stability these days. With enough football playing members to hold a conference championship game and a new television contract offering more visibility on ESPN (and also […]

  The Mid-American Conference has captured the hearts of the college football Twitterati over the last few years with their willingness to play, seemingly, on any day of the week that ends in the letter “Y.” For those who cannot get enough college football, a Tuesday night game between Toledo and Northern Illinois in November […]
