Charlie Weis has to be smiling between bites these days.  A couple of weeks ago the Irish coach added “punches thrown after plays” to his long list of complaints after a loss at Michigan.  Following some YouTube spotshadowing and more whining from South Bend, Michigan linebacker Jonas Mouton was suspended by the Big Ten for [...]

The Blogpoll is up for the third week and I like it.  Florida was docked some first place votes (not by us though) after a so-so showing against Tennessee, Miami (yes, that Miami) made its top ten debut, and Ole Miss is not nearly as hyped as they are with the major polls.  Blogpoll FTW!  [...]

Lane Kiffin has taken the SEC by storm since taking over as head coach of Tennessee.  Not on the field exactly, losing to Florida and starting 1-2, but off the field Kiffin is firing shots at all takers.  He accused Urban Meyer of violating NCAA rules in front of a bunch of people, violating rules [...]

There was some moving then some shaking in college football this weekend, most notably Washington shocking USC on a late field goal.  First the ballot, then a few points. Rank Team Delta 1 Florida 2 Texas 3 Alabama 1 4 California 1 5 Boise State 1 6 LSU 4 7 Penn State 1 8 Virginia [...]

In a huge blow to the Illini defense, junior linebacker Martez Wilson will miss the remainder of the season with a neck injury.  A five-star prospect in 2007, Wilson played for the Illini right away and many expected him to break out in a major way this season.  The injury, a herniated disk requiring surgery, has [...]

Blogpoll is up for Week Two.  No changes in the NQTC ballot from a couple days ago, because I forgot to change my FSU error by the deadline this morning.  Check out the full poll with analysis at CBS Sports.  Here’s the top ten: Rank Team PPB StdDev Delta 1 Florida (85) 24.4 2.1 – [...]

Same drill as last week: take a look at the ballot and let me know what you think.  I’ll revise and send in the final draft on Wednesday. Rank Team Delta 1 Florida 2 Texas 3 Southern Cal 4 Alabama 5 California 1 6 Boise State 1 7 Brigham Young 1 8 Penn State 1 [...]

Well, blogpoll voting happened pretty quick this week with the relevant Monday night game and all.  Check out the results along with analysis at CBS Sportsline.  As for NQTC’s ballot, nothing much changed.  I did consider moving Pitt into the top 25, but I’ll wait for a win over a school in their division.  Miami [...]

What an awful start for an Illinois team I thought would be near the top of the conference.  It’s a familiar formula in the Big Ten: young players show promise, struggle, then put it together in their senior season.  I thought Juice would be ready to lead his team to a great season and perhaps [...]

In case you forgot, we’ll be a part of the CBS Sportsline Blogpoll this season.  The poll works just like the AP or Coaches’ Poll, except that it is done by bloggers.  It is obviously superior to either major poll since 1) We watch the games and 2) our votes are public.  The whole project started over at MGoBlog and [...]

This is the place to go for NFL Week 1 previews.  It has all the spreads and information you need for each game this coming weekend. [Midwest Sports Fans] Luol Deng will be ready for the preseason.  Oh and he likes rap and eats Egyptian food.  It’s all in his interview with CNN. [By The [...]

So, the Big Ten previews didn’t finish up due to getting slammed at work.  Therefore, I bring you the preseason Big Ten Power Rankings. 1) Ohio State- Hard to put the Buckeyes anywhere else on the list.  Terrelle Pryor was the most efficient passer in the conference last year and OSU is never lacking talent.  [...]

All true NBA fans in the last ten years will love to argue this list “The Ten Best Teams Not To Win A Championship in the Last 10 Years”. [BDL] A little chart about how to correctly argue about college football.  I’m pretty sure I’ve heard every single one of these lines from StevieY about [...]
