The Super Six* After two weeks, no team in the country can lay claim to having beaten two ranked opponents. In fact, no team in the AP Top 25 has even beaten two teams who play in AQ conferences (although Northwestern, which is unranked, has). 1. Alabama (2-0): The Tide have held eight of their […]

The USC Trojans made a rare trip to the east coast for their week two match-up played on a neutral field against Syracuse, looking to sway some of the east coast media to maybe regain some first place votes in the polls. Not even Mother Nature would hold back the Trojans in this one, as […]

Nebraska coaches and players said it all week, they knew this trip wasn't going to be easy. Not because of the time difference or the venue of the game, but because they were facing a very good Bruins squad under first year head coach Jim Mora. They found out just how good as UCLA (2-0) knocked […]

It wasn’t Alabama flicking away Michigan impressive, but what LSU did to Washington Saturday night was still a major statement. The Tigers (2-0) proved they are a championship caliber team, and that it’s downright impossible to beat these guys at night in Death Valley. Washington actually fought harder than Michigan did last week against the […]
http://youtube.com/watch?v=nxmgz2VAh74 Stunning upsets come in a variety of flavors, but Louisiana-Monroe’s 34-31 victory over Arkansas Saturday night was one of the more unique. Like me, chances are you were watching one of the evening’s higher-profile tilts. The game’s score popped up on the crawl at the bottom of your screen every once in a while, […]

It wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t necessarily ugly. And it definitely wasn’t old-man football. But whatever it was, the Georgia Bulldogs made a statement Saturday night, going on the road and getting a 41-20 victory at Missouri, ruining the Tigers SEC welcome party in the process. Now for those of you who aren’t familiar, that “old-man […]

It wasn't always pretty, but Oregon State found a way to win in their 2012 debut, defeating 13th ranked Wisconsin 10-7 at Reser Stadium. This was a game of opportunities, those missed and those taken advantage of, and the Beavers took advantage of their opportunity first and that was the difference in the victory. Wisconsin […]

Notre Dame outlasted a ten point Purdue comeback, beating the Boilermakers 20-17 on a 27-yard field goal by Kyle Brendza with seven seconds left. The final drive for the Fighting Irish wasn't led by starter Everett Golson, but instead by Tommy Rees, who came in for the final drive. Golson fumbled late in the fourth […]

If there’s a single word that needs to be given to the Florida Gators after their 20-17 win against Texas A&M Saturday, it’s “credit.” For a team that got little of it in the off-season, and even less after an ugly opening weekend win against Bowling Green, the Gators deserve a whole lot of it […]

The Mississippi State Bulldogs overwhelmed Kiehl Frazier and the Auburn Tigers, winning by a score of 28-10. The Auburn offense led by Frazier had just 216 yards in the game, and the sophomore quarterback had contributed -2 passing yards at the half while also turning the ball over five times. The score could have been […]
Ten touchdowns. Savannah State is getting 10 touchdowns – plus an an extra half-point – for its game at Florida State tomorrow. In case you were wondering, Savannah Guthrie would only be a nine-touchdown underdog in Tallahassee. Ten touchdowns-plus, or 70.5 points. No school has ever been a greater underdog as far as the odds […]

Over the last year, there were times where I thought that even if Hollywood wanted to make a movie about the downfall of the Penn State football program, there’s no way they could ever could. Following the story day-to-day, week-to-week and month-to-month, at times the truth seemed stranger than fiction, and it seemed impossible for […]
