College! Knowledge! Football, Championship Week!

December 4, 2009 – 11:58 am

The college football gods smiled on us this week, giving us a fantastic SEC championship game, with #1 Florida taking on #2 Alabama. We haven’t seen an SEC championship game this exciting in nearly twelve whole months, back when #1 Alabama took on #2 Florida. Gotta love the SEC.
We’ve also got #22 Nebraska attempting to [...]

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 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 [...]
