Notre Dame will fly across the Atlantic Ocean for Saturday's season opener against rival Navy, but they will do so without one of their top offensive players. Senior running back Cierre Wood was suspended from the team for the first two games of the season as a result of violating team rules, head coach Brian […]
Thanksgiving weekend generally features some of the college football season's marquee games, and this year is no exception. The Crystal Ball has been working overtime lately, but still graciously agreed to pump out five winners for us. LSU at Arkansas (Friday, Nov. 23) The nationwide consensus before the season […]

It's been a few weeks on vacation for our judge, but we're back to the courtroom of college football here at CBR and our judge is seated with gavel in hand ready to render another case closed on the college football docket. One of the greatest things about college football and it's fans is the […]

In the hunt for the next great quarterback at Oregon, all signs entering the fall seemed to point toward Bryan Bennett. The third-year sophomore played in nine games last season backing up Darron Thomas, and in his one start, led the Ducks to a 45-2 road win at Colorado. Not too shabby a debut, huh? […]

The Notre Dame coach will name sophomore Everett Golson as his quarterback when the Fighting Irish line up against Navy in Dublin on September 1st. Keith Arnold of NBCSports.com broke the news early Thursday, and Brian Hamilton of the Chicago Tribune […]
Long derided as the weak sister of major college football, the Big East is actually generating a little buzz with the hire of new commissioner John Aresco.

All across the country new co-eds are putting together futons, sneaking beer… err, soda into their dorm fridges, and getting ready for classes to start or are already underway (depending on the school). That means a whole new generation of student sections, student section traditions, and future football fanatics are being molded at universities and […]
I guess we should credit 247's Texas affiliate Hookem.com with "breaking" the news that David Ash will take the first snap for the Longhorns on Sept. 1 versus Wyoming. Under journalism’s rules of the road, it probably does qualify as a scoop. Yet, no one who has followed UT closely since last December has assumed […]

Hey, I'm no longer the newbie on the staff, yet I'm seeing a pattern develop here… Allen gets the Crystal Ball, does something strange to it (get your minds out of the gutters guys!!) and ships it my way. I see how it is… still new guy hazing time, […]

Entering the 2012 college football season, expectations aren’t particularly high for the Northwestern football team. Coming off a 6-7 season, and playing in a brutal Big Ten division that features Michigan State, Michigan and Nebraska, things won’t be easy for the Wildcats in 2012. But if Northwestern were to exceed expectations, well, it may […]
