Overview You have to feel a little bad for the Mountain West. They came painfully close to receiving an automatic bid to a BCS game, and for more reasons than one, they probably won’t get it. In fact, in a few years, if the conference re-alignment plays out the way experts predict it will,...

Overview The Big 12 should be a very interesting conference to watch this year. They were the talk of the off-season, with Colorado and Nebraska going public with their intentions to bolt for the Pac-10 and Big 10 conferences next year, and that’s just the beginning.

Overview Conference USA is very similar to the MAC in many ways. Both conferences have talented but not elite players, and both conferences are a breeding ground for up-and-coming coaches.

Overview For my second college football preview post, I’m going to try to sort through a conference that is almost as wide open and difficult to pick as the Big East. Unlike the Big East, the ACC has a few teams with a legitimate shot at a national title bid, but as we know...

Utah leaving the Mountain West Conference on Thursday for the Pac-10 makes me scratch my head a little bit. They are leaving a conference where they and Boise State would have been the class of a very respectable football lineup, which also features TCU and BYU. I understand that the Pac-10 has the automatic...
