If you’re in a BCS league in particular, with the right breaks, your team may find itself playing for the BCS Championship. Well, at least it could for this final year.

Photo: 247 Sports Anytime Alabama lands a big time recruit, it is met with a yawn. We expect this sort of recruiting news to happen when discussing the Crimson Tide. Nick Saban has built what can be referred to as an empire, a dynasty at one of college football's historically great programs. Not to take […]

Well that was fun. After seven long months of having to actually be productive on Saturdays, college football returned this weekend, and it was as good as advertised.
