A sentiment I hear often this time of year is that this weekend is when college basketball truly begins. By which, they are inferring they’d rather watch the NFL, but there’s no playoff game next weekend so I guess we’ll watch some college basketball. WELL I’LL TELL YOU SOMETHING, SIRS AND MA’AMS. ACC BASKETBALL IS LIFE. …

That’s the conventional thought. How true is it? I decided to take the final top 25 teams from this year Coaches Poll, and pull their Scout and …

If you have been following the blog conference rankings, it’s been more or less an eyeball test with a hefty dose of non conference results thrown in. During the regular season non-conference results are limited, but now that bowl season is over it’s good to review where each conference stands after the season. We now …

I think it’s good for college football to see some non-historical powers football win a title. I think you have to go back 1991 when Washington split a title with Miami to find one. The …
