Ask folks around the Nebraska, Texas A&M and Missouri football programs, and (off the record) they’ll be glad to tell you that a big reason why each left the Big XII in recent years was because of the emergence of the Longhorn Network. The TV station which debuted in August 2011 gives Texas an absurd […]

Oregon, Florida and Kansas State bolstered their arguments, while Notre Dame (and among the ineligibles, Ohio State) survived. Alabama remains on another planet. Super Six 1. Alabama (7-0) The Tide rolled over the Vols, with Peyton Manning in attendance, in their annual TSIO skirmish. One small hope for opponents: Bama has allowed double-digit points in […]

As crazy as it sounds, we are now heading into the last weekend of October, which also means we are now heading towards the college football home stretch as well. The preseason prognostications are a thing of the past, and in the present, we have eight weeks of real, tangible on the field production to […]

Despite the obvious and glaring weakness on defense, I bought into West Virginia. The offense looked unstoppable and somehow it looked like the Mountaineers would just outscore everyone. Oh how we were all fooled. WVU fans are used to disappointment, but no one expected such a collapse just two weeks after beating Texas in Austin. […]

Here’s what you need to know about how Saturday’s game impacted our BCS Bowl Projections: BCS Nos. 1 and 2 racked up 88 points, the Big 12 has its frontrunners and the Irish live to fight another day. Here’s how things stand going into Week 9: Rose Bowl: Michigan vs. Oregon State – This pairing […]
LSU taught Texas A&M a valuable lesson Saturday. It’s not just that famed speed that kills in the SEC. Turnovers can be deadly, too. The Aggies did more than enough against the Tigers to come up with what would have been the biggest win of their short time in the SEC, including gaining eight more […]

Was it ugly? Gut-wrenching? Should those with weak constitutions have looked away at several points? Yes, but that’s Big Ten football. It’s beautiful in ways, yet powerfully disturbing in others. One of three prime examples of that today was this year’s bout for the Paul Bunyan Trophy. Former Michigan running back Mike Hart referred to […]

At 7-0 and with victories over Texas A&M, Tennessee and LSU, it’s safe to say that the Florida Gators didn’t need a signature win against South Carolina to impress anyone Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately for the Gamecocks, Florida got one anyway, in a dominating 44-11 victory in the Swamp. Simply put, Florida was the better team […]

In their 17-14 win over BYU, Notre Dame once again proved college football’s oldest adage: It doesn’t matter whether you win pretty or win ugly. Just as long as you win, baby. For the Irish, that is a credo they’ve been living by all year. And it’s one they put to the test against BYU […]

Normally the Cowboys of Wyoming aren't making headlines, but after their game against Air Force last Saturday it's safe to say Wyoming Head Coach Dave Christensen wasn't in the spirit of Military Appreciation Night. Following the Falcons' one point 28-27 victory at Wyoming things got a little more than heated and what your about to […]

Here are your Crystal Ball Run, Week 8 staff picks! No. 6 LSU at No. 18 Texas A&M: Saturday, 12:00 p.m. ESPN Allen Kenney’s Take: So far this week, the talk about this game has centered more around when it's kicking off than the match-up on the field. Too bad, because this could turn out […]
Okay, kids, it's time for the Crystal Ball Run Midseason College Football Awards. Let's work our way through this and then I'll take us all to In-n-Out Burger afterward… Game of the Year: The first thought that comes to mind is, "We're still waiting for it." We're going to give a narrow edge to Notre […]
