The long Thanksgiving holiday always plays home to many rivalry games. This year these rivalry games are helping to boost or eliminate teams from BCS Bowl consideration, and will, in all likelihood, shape the National Title game.

Well we aren’t even to Saturday yet and the whole entire bowl picture has changed. Three games, three upsets and the whole post season has been knocked on its proverbial rear end.
On Thursday night, USC showed everyone that they are certainly deserving of high bowl honors by crushing #4 Arizona State 44-24. What was really [...]

Up to now, I think its been a little bit ridiculous to be prognosticating bowl matchups.

It’s not very often that an avid College Football fan like me will tell you that the weekend will be boring, but – yeah it will be. While every game is important for a Top 25 team especially as we move toward the real pivotal end of year games, this weekend should be real [...]

There have been few certainties this 2007 college football season, but one that has continually raised its ugly head is the fact that any week’s #2 team isnt very safe.
