One man’s Harris Poll ballot and how I came to these conclusions: 1. Notre Dame (12-0)… Only undefeated, bowl-eligible team in the nation. The Fighting Irish's signature play is the goal-line stand. 2. Alabama (11-1)… Had Georgia ahead of the Crimson Tide a week ago, but I flip-flopped them this week. Not that it matters […]

Of every team which lost on rivalry weekend, it’s quite possible that no one lost more- literally and figuratively- than the Clemson Tigers.

Ohio State 26, Michigan 21: Undefeated and unrewarded
0 comments by Kevin McGuire on 11/24/2012
The Ohio State Buckeyes are undefeated, yet will go un rewarded this season. No shot at a BCS national championship and no opportunity to play in the Big Ten championship game. But for one afternoon in November none of that mattered. A win in The Game againt the rival from the north is the only […]
