Although it’s been just under a month since the Freeh Report was released and over three weeks since the NCAA dropped the hammer on Penn State, incredibly, the fallout from the two events has never seemed to end. From players transferring and staying, recruits reaffirming their commitments or looking elsewhere and the Paterno family keeping […]

Well, if I'm right we're about to see some major controversy as Oklahoma takes on and eventually takes down 'Bama in the BCS National Championship game in Miami this coming January. Why the controversy? Well, just a few weeks back I […]

Earlier today it was announced that the 2012 Penn State uniforms would be breaking with tradition and feature player names on the back of the jerseys. They'll also feature a blue ribbon on the front to recognize the victims of child abuse. The names may or may not be a one time thing moving forward, […]

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 […]
Don't get caught looking at the SEC's stars, Aggies. In a conference as loaded as the SEC, it's tough to find many deceptively tough spots that qualfy as true "Danger Games." Nevertheless, here are five. 5. Syracuse at Missouri (Nov. 17) Mizzou needs to figure out how this SEC scheduling thing works. While Syracuse may […]
