In this edition of “Meeting Of The Minds,” CBR’s writers tackle the question of college football’s scariest underdog coach. Allen Kenney: Texas Tech pulled off a stunning upset of Oklahoma this weekend thanks in large part to a brilliantly crafted game plan from coach Tommy Tuberville and his staff. Tubs faded into the background on […]

One of the more exciting parts of the college football experience that often gets overlooked due to playoff races and rivalry games are the post season awards. Every division has them, though most people only know about awards like the Heisman. At the lower levels these awards are known as the Walter Payton, Buck Buchanan, […]

A crazy Saturday of college football led to a shake-up near the top of the BCS rankings. We will once again go through the motions of making the selections as if the season ended today, using the BCS rankings as a guide. The highest ranked team in each conference will be selected as the conference […]

Today, the Sooners not only are set back in […]

Don’t look now, but Joe Paterno and Penn State are now the team in front of the Big Ten Leaders Division, with Wisconsin needing to play catch-up. Penn State played a back and forth game with Northwestern in a prime time game on the road and made the halftime adjustments needed to return home with […]

The Texas Tech Red Raiders toppled the mighty Oklahoma Sooners late, real late, Saturday night by a final of 41-38. The team from Lubbock got their first win in Norman since 1996 and in the process, at least for the moment, have crushed the Sooners’ BCS Championship hopes. Plenty will be written about OU’s role […]

The best thing about college football is that, on a day to day, week to week basis, like a box of chocolates, you just never know what you’re going to get. We see that every week, and this Saturday was no exception. Wisconsin was shocked by Michigan State in East Lansing. Oklahoma got beat by […]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=BQeMyQeobwU I’ve said it many times before, but this is why college football is the best. Michigan State’s Kirk Cousins went all Doug Flutie on Wisconsin, so that means Keith Nichol did his best Gerard Phelan. The big difference was the Spartans had to wait for the play to be reviewed before they could celebrate […]

Michigan State is coming off a 28-14 victory against the Michigan Wolverines where Sparty looked every bit the part of a dominating Big Ten team. Their defense shut down Al Borges’ offense and kept the talented junior Denard Robinson in check. This week the Spartans take on another talented quarterback of moving the ball with […]

Remember that old gimmick, the “ACC Wheel of Desinty,” that Rece Davis and the guys on College Football Final used to use? Now retired for a few years, I think it’s time for them to bring it back out, and re-brand it. Because while Clemson is running away with things down in the Atlantic Coast […]

There was a time when West Virginia played physical football. Right now, WVU is soft. Syracuse, an average team, bullied the Mountaineers Friday night en route to a 49-23 victory at the Carrier Dome. In just three short years, Doug Marrone has been a miracle worker at his alma mater. Syracuse has defeated WVU in […]

Don’t call it a comeback. No seriously, don’t. It sucks when you hit a gambling cold streak. But when you finally get off it, it’s like the first time you wake up drunk from the night before in college. You feel a little weak still, but you’re alive. God dammit, you’re alive. Last week: 4-2 […]
