College! Knowledge! Football, lucky week thirteen.

November 25, 2009 – 8:45 am

Rivalry week is one of the greatest weekends of the year in college football. When else are so many ridiculous trophies at stake?
Last week: 9-6
Good calls: None. I was horrible last week. Arizona almost squeaked out a victory against #11 Oregon, but ended up losing in overtime 44-41.
Bad calls: I’ll happily admit that I was [...]

College! Knowledge! Football, week twelve.

November 20, 2009 – 3:23 pm

Last week: 16-3
Good calls: the SEC (7-0), North Carolina over #12 Miami
Bad calls: NC State over #24 Clemson (Clemson win 43-23), #11 USC over #25 Stanford (Stanford win 55-21)
ACC
North Carolina (7-3) at Boston College (7-3)
This would be an excusable loss for either team, so no one is playing desperate here. It’s basketball season in Chapel [...]

College! Knowledge! Football, week eleven.

November 13, 2009 – 10:25 am

My colleague Jack did a great job earlier this week calling out some of the power programs in regards to their embarrassing non-conference schedules. I didn’t realize that the Gators hadn’t left the state of Florida for a non-conference game since 1991. That’s astonishing.
The second point of his article was that Boise State was getting [...]

College! Knowledge! Football, week ten.

November 6, 2009 – 1:58 pm

Watching Nebraska’s recent struggles on offense, I couldn’t help but think about their old option teams that used to steamroll everyone in their path, and even rattled off a few national championships. Those games were fun to watch (unless you were cheering for their opponent that day), and it never ceased to amaze me how [...]

College! Knowledge! Football, week nine.

October 29, 2009 – 10:00 am

Last week: 14-4
Good calls: SEC (5-1), Pac 10 (5-0). Don’t be fooled by that 14-4 record, I can’t really brag about my predictions from last week. Nothing terribly surprising happened and even when I got the predictions right, I whiffed on the margin (Auburn keeping it close against LSU? Pssshaw.)
Bad calls: I was feeling pretty [...]

College! Knowledge! Football, week eight.

October 22, 2009 – 9:29 am

The beauty of college football – and the reason it’s so difficult to predict these games – is that every week, someone is going to get beaten by a team that has no business beating them. It’s going to happen. It’s just impossible to say who that’s going to be. No one in their right [...]

College! Knowledge! Football, week seven.

October 15, 2009 – 7:28 am

I watched the #5 Boise State vs. Tulsa game last night (admittedly, only during commercial breaks for “Modern Family” and “Top Chef”) and found myself naturally pulling for Tulsa. For one thing, there’s nothing greater than watching a home underdog beat a top 5 team. And for another thing, I wanted to make sure that [...]

College! Knowledge! Football, week six.

October 8, 2009 – 7:34 am

You may notice that the Other Fifteen actually employs (and I use that word generously) two college football columnists now. You’ve already been introduced to Jack, the born-and-bred Midwesterner whose college football allegiances lie squarely in the Big Ten.
I myself am a Big XII man, through and through. I went to school at Texas Tech, [...]
