It was billed as a battle between the defensive lines, and for the most part, LSU and Florida lived up to the pregame hype. The two teams combined to score just three first half points, and it took almost until the end of the third quarter before either team broke 100 yards of total offense. […]
Going to make these quick this week. Northwestern at Penn State (-2.5) Northwestern is a nice story and all, but we've reached the point where the Wildcats are getting a little too much respect for whipping a whole mess of bad teams. Pick: Nittany Lions by a field goal. Kansas at Kansas State (-24) K-State […]

Here are the Crystal Ball Run Week 5 staff picks… No. 24 Northwestern at Penn State: Saturday, 12:00pm ESPN Andy Coppens Take: Call this week "Crossroads Week" if you will in the Big Ten as Northwestern enters the game against Penn State undefeated, but perhaps a bit untested. Their opponents so far this season are […]

Miami at No. 9 Notre Dame Saturday, 7:30 p.m. NBC (at Soldier Field, Chicago) Line: Notre Dame -12.5 No, Saturday’s matchup between Miami and Notre Dame won’t be one of those great “Catholics vs. Convicts” matchups of the late 1980’s, but to the credit of these two teams, this game looks much better now than […]

While TCU’s move to the Big XII has been a smooth transition on the field so far, off the field it’s been a completely different story. In February the university suffered an embarrassing internal drug probe that led to the arrests of 17 students, including six football players. And while he wasn’t one of the […]

While Thursday night college football has become a bit of a quirky, fun novelty in the past, this Thursday, there’s nothing fun or quirky about USC’s trip to Utah. For the Trojans, a loss here would all but eliminate them from not only BCS title contention, but possibly Pac-12 championship contender status too. As for […]

The ACC will skip any plans to move to a nine-game conference schedule when Pittsburgh and Syracuse join the conference in 2013, and will stick to a schedule of eight conference games per season. This, you can thank Notre Dame for. "The addition of Notre Dame gives us an opportunity to reinforce a number of […]
