I’m going to keep the previews for each bowl game short for the New Year’s Day lineup. My guess is that most of you probably aren’t reading my entire analysis anyway, so I think it’s a win-win situation. Here are my picks for the January 1st bowl games. TicketCity Bowl Northwestern vs. Texas Tech...

I don’t usually make statements like this, but thanks to what I have seen over the past few days, I have to say it. The Big 12 conference is bad. Missouri and Baylor? The Big 10 thanks you for your kindness. Kansas State? Syracuse wants you to know that you’re always welcome to come...

Thanks to Hawaii getting pounded by Tulsa on Christmas Eve, I lost 20 points in the College Bowl Mania game. I’m now 3-4, and am starting to feel a bit uneasy. I’m going to need some help from a few teams the next couple of days, or I’ll be out of the running before...

Last night’s game lived up to the expectations that I had for it. Although the score would suggest that it wasn’t close, it was really a great game for three quarters. Navy really has to be within a touchdown in the 4th quarter to win, and a minute into the final quarter, they were down...

By now, most college football fans have gotten wind of the news. Five Ohio State Buckeyes players, headlined by Terrelle Pryor, will be suspended for the first five games of the 2011 regular season for what the NCAA cites as “improper benefits”. Those improper benefits would be receiving tattoos from a local tattoo shop in Columbus, in...
