For the past eight weeks, the guys here at Crystal Ball Run have been looking into our crystal ball (no, seriously, we actually went to Costco and bought an actual Crystal Ball. Needless to say, it’s awesome) and telling you exactly how the 2012 college football season will play out. Week-by-week, game-by-game we’ve got the […]

At this point with Maryland football, it’s almost as if they’re begging us to make fun of them. Between the on the field product as well as Randy Edsall’s press conference quotes, the Terps have quickly evolved into some of the lowest hanging fruit in the entire college football blogosphere. Then again, the good folks […]
"Whoever did that, sign this medical redshirt form." Editor's note: All week, CBR's writers will be offering up their national championship picks for the upcoming season. First up, Allen Kenney's pick looks familiar. If you’ve been paying attention for the last six years, the formula for determining at least half of the match-up in the […]

All I expected was an autograph from Earl Campbell, the 1977 Heisman Trophy winner at Texas. But after signing my full-size Heisman helmet during a special autograph show in Canton, Ohio, during Hall of Fame festivities, the Tyler Rose was in a chatty mood.

Well, we almost got out of the week without hearing from the Paterno family. Oh so close, but oh so far. This time the Paterno family is formally going after the NCAA. According to Onward State, lawyers representing the Paterno family sent an official appeal letter to the NCAA offices responding to the sanctions handed […]

Even with Petrino banished from Hogland, Arkansas will start the season at No. 10 in the Coaches Poll. We caught up with Razorbacks diehard Jordan […]

We have been passing the crystal ball around for the past eight weeks to take a look in to the future of the 2012 college football season. Today the ball lands in my hands and I could not wait to get a glimpse in to week nine of the season. After seeing what unfolded […]
With SEC Preview Week drawing to a close, we thought it would be a good idea to check in with our buddy Chadd Scott of ChuckOliver.net to get his take on what's in store for the conference in 2012. 1. Maybe the biggest story entering 2012 is the arrival of Texas A&M and Missouri. By […]
LSU may have lost last year's war with Alabama for No. 1, but college football’s coaches – or at least their SIDs – are making the Tigers the favorites for the national championship this year over the Crimson Tide. The Bayou Bengals topped a preseason USA Today Sports Coaches Poll resplendent with SEC teams. A […]
