New Year's Resolutions for College Football
How are you doing on those new year's resolutions you made? If you're smart, you don't announce any of them on Facebook or other social media. It makes failure a little bit more palatable. Now that we're in the first full week with no college football it seems as good a time as any to take an introspective glance into our sport and think about what we could do to...

Joe Paterno To Retire at Season's End
With the massive tidal wave that is the Jerry Sandusky child sex criminal investigation, the rumors that Joe Paterno was to soon be out are true. Paterno will retire at the end of the season, his 46th. Never would one have imagined that Paterno would go out like this--his reputation sullied as many believe he didn't do enough to bring the charges leveled against his former defensive...

SEC Product at Risk of Dilution
The so-called Game of the Century (hey, it's a young century) was actually a little bit of a yawner, even by supreme SEC over-defensively-schemed standards. Not much of the end zone did we see, unless it was an errant Tide kick landing short or astray like a winged AFLAC duck falling in the marsh. This game was more or less a Mexican standoff involving field goals, crazy-looking...

The Chippendale Mabrys was the winner last week with 22 of 31 correct picks. Remember, we throw out the lowest two weeks picks so it's not too late to get in. And since we have exactly...

Yes, I know--no hate mail, please, and whatever you do, don't leave this thread with almost four minutes paragraphs left on the clock. With NFL preseason contestswinding...

10 Rules New SEC Applicants and CFB Need to Know Before Joining Our Conference
With college football on the verge of blowing up and the start of the big conference land grab once again upon us, I think it important to establish some base guidelines before virtually the entire football nation may make application to join the SEC now that the borders could be thrown open. Thinking quickly...

Texas A&M Makes Formal Notice to Seek 'Other Conference Options'
With the SEC meeting two weeks ago when the presidents decided not to pursue A&M as an additional member of the conference, it looks more and more like that was just legal cover to prevent a lawsuit down the road where the SEC could be accused of tortious interference for an attempted poaching. Now followed today, when A&M sent a letter to Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe that...

Texas A&M Wrong Team at the Wrong Time for the SEC
I hate to keep beating the dead horse that is the Texas A&M to the SEC story, but there's simply too much going on not to finesse every fine nuance out of it. While some in the SEC are already picking out who will be an accompanying stablemate, others are quite aware of what such a jump could do to implode college football as we know it. Even this Monday the Aggie administration...

One Reader's Thoughts on the Miami Situation
Regular contributer Regan offers his thoughts about the Canes.
There is a difference between "fault" and "responsibility", but it's not one that really matters.
I actually didn't like the Miami Hurricanes when I was growing up in the 80's. I went to Clemson games with my dad, and all I knew of the 'Canes were things like this . The stories...

2011 SEC Non-Traditional Out of Conference Game Predictions
I'm an Auburn homer. I think they'll win every game. I refuse to think otherwise, so if that colors me slightly biased, I'm open about admitting it. I'll also admit that I'm probably not the most reliable go-to guy for betting information involving an Auburn team for the same reason. I picked Auburn to win every game last year. As it was, I just happened to be...

Big 12 Stands Up to Longhorn Network. For Now.
Seemingly lost in the CFB universe this week was the story Monday that the Big 12 conference--otherwise known as the nine remaining teams not named Texas--put their foot down to nix certain aspects of the new Longhorn Network debuting the 26th of this month. If you recall back to last year's spring and summer, we saw the defection of Nebraska and Colorado to other BCS conferences...

USA Today Coaches Top 25 Preseason Poll Out!
Looks like the coaches are first on the board with the preseason poll hype. Oklahoma, Alabama, Oregon and LSU all garnered some first place votes. The defending champion Auburn Tigers come in at 19th. While that position is better than last season's preseason ranking, it is the lowest slot ever for a national champion since the USA Today poll premiered in 1991.

NCAA on the Warpath?
Not many people heard Friday that the NCAA had placed Georgia Tech's football program on probation. Even fewer knew that they were being investigated at all. A 20-month long investigation starting from late in the 2009 season culminated in the program being placed on four years' probation, the vacation of the 2009 ACC title and a $100,000 fine--for improper benefits from...
