With pride, these players wear uniforms showcasing their school colors and logos. However, did you know that college football equipment—the jerseys, the pads, the helmets—represents a …

Following the January 2001 Orange Bowl BCS Title that Florida State lost 13-2 to Oklahoma, the Seminoles started a slow unmistakable decline in their program. It culminated in a humiliating 30-0 home loss to Wake Forest on November 11, 2006. To me at that point any shred of connection to the once great Seminole teams …

With the season over the half way mark, and after having done a piece about which program in the ACC could make it to a bowl game, I figured that it would be appropriate to keep an eye on all the teams in the conference as we head towards the last third of the season. And …

Before we check the games for Week 8 in the ACC, let me give you the result from last week… 5 and 1 straight out, but only a .500 mark, 3 and 3, with the spread. Not bad, not good, but it is what it is and I will take it as the first week …

As I read this small post over at FBSschedules, which announced the 13 member committee that will be giving the college football fan base the first ever Final Four, one sentence came to my mind… “let the mayhem begin”. I know that several people have been up in arms about Condoleeza Rice being part of …

It feels like yesterday we were waiting for college football to start, and yet the reality is that the season is halfway done. As the year began how many thought that the Atlantic Coast Conference would have two teams in the Top 5, or three in the Top 10? Less than two months ago who …

The exact format of the 4 team playoff has yet to be determined. If you are a conference representative for anyone not named the SEC, you better push for a strong conference champion component. It’s obviously in the best interest of the SEC to simply have a formula that says these are the 4 best …
