Utah is the only thing standing in the way of TCU and their first ever BCS Bowl. The Frogs have been impressive this year and of late the offense has really been putting up some points. That has always been my one thing against TCU, that they just didn't have the offense to stack up against most the other BCS foes. Patterson seems to have loosened the reigns and for the first time i honostly

Texas and Florida narrowly survive last weekend, but the road ahead appears to be much easier for UT with really only Oklahoma State and the Big XII title game in between them and the National Championship. Texas Tech rolled Nebraska with relative ease last week, and once again shows that the North half of the Big XII just doesn't stack up to the South. In the SEC, Auburn falls to Kentucky,

OU lays and egg against the U and Houston gets absolutely blown out by UTEP. This week brings us a couple of good match-ups, including Auburn @ Arkansas, Nebraska @ Mizzou, Florida vs. LSUMy Big XII championship picks are constantly changing these days as OU seems to have the Stoops curse in big games. So, here's my new championship prediction. Nebraska vs. UT and Nebraska will be this years

As requested this week we'll start games of the week, since i seem to have only two followers that comment, lets make our picks and i'll keep up with the standings. Anyone else who would like to make picks feel free as well. Games of the week: Make your picks #8 OU @ #17 Miami : this game would have been much more interesting had Miami not got blown out last week,

Four teams in the Top 10 went down this week, and at this pace Boise State will be the #1 one team in the land. Florida's season looked to be in jeopardy as Tebow was taken away in the ambulance, but he gets on extra week off for his brain to quit shaking before LSU comes knocking. Speaking of LSU, they sneak by MSU in a game in which the #7 Tigers should have walked in and taken care of

Every week seems to be getting better and better, USC and BYU fall, Texas wins but wasn't exactly dominating in doing so, and Florida struggles to get by Tennessee. The BCS busting MWC took two big hits this week with Utah and BYU going down, but TCU, Boise, and Houston ( idle ) remain unbeaten looking to stay in the BCS hunt. The Big XII opener between UT and TT was closer than the so called

Well so far my picks and predictions have been pretty useless, with couple of exceptions. So here are the key games in the two conferences this week.Big XIIUConn @ Baylor: i know Baylor? key game? The Bears have slowly but surely been improving under Briles, but this UCONN team may be one of the better defenses in the country that nobody talks about. So we'll start the week off with an upset

Last year this game gave us on of the best games of this decade, and now the Horns look for revenge as the whiney orange have their hopes set on a championship run. Two weeks into the season so there's not a lot to go one from the teams either of these have played as to what the future holds for them both. What we do know is that Tech lost key players on both sides of the ball, and replacing

The Pokes and what glimmer of a hope they had for a BCS game took a serious hit over the weekend. Two weeks in and both Oklahoma schools have a loss in the books, and it would appear that Oklahoma State still has some serious defensive questions to answer heading into Big XII play. The other OSU Buckeyes and Tressle kept to form by finding away to lose another big game, and this time at home in

Week 2 or Weak 2 for the Big XII should be a week of routes for the Big XII except for a couple of interesting games.Iowa vs. Iowa StateThe Hawkeyes look to rebound after narrowly getting by another in state foe in NIU, anything can happen in these rivalry games, but if the same Iowa team from last week shows up the Cyclones could walk away with victory.Iowa 17 ISU 24K-state vs.

Week 2 doesn't seem to hold a lot interesting match-ups, but the SEC schedule gets rolling. Let's look at the SEC match-ups and the handfull of other could be good games.Vandy vs. #11 LSULSU comes off a closer than expected game versus a much improved Husky team, and i think they'll have a little easier time of it this week as VAndy doesn't offer much in the way of explosive offense.

So, what did we learn in week 1, and yes i realize it's early. We learned that OU must win out to have any shot at the BCS, the Big 10 and ACC are a joke, and if week 1 is any indication it could be a wild season. OU, no excuses, Bradford or not they should have plenty of talent to handle the 3rd best team in the MWC. Stoops may possibly be the worst big game coach in college football, well,

The best 4 months of the year are set to kick off tomorrow night, and all i can say is IT'S ABOUT TIME. There are plenty of what seem to be good games in store for week 1, i've already touched on a few of these in the previous post, but realize i left a couple of good match-ups out.THURS> #16 Oregon vs. #14 Boise State - interesting ballgame, but if the Oregon team that ended the year shows up

Week 1 gets the season started off with a bang and here are the three most interesting games of note in the 1st week.#13 Georgia vs. #9 Oklahoma StateI'm leaning towards OSU in this game, a lot of fire power and returning talent from last year, and UGA has a lot of parts to replace from a season ago.score - OSU 38 UGA 24#20 BYU vs. #3 OUthe MWC wants respect, here's your chance.

The gauntlet of the SEC conference is a little tough to figure at this point, but i'll make my predictions anyway and see what happens. Let's start with the WEST. AUBURN: coming off of the disaster of last season, things might not be much better this year. Auburn was not able to sign a single top 150 player in the offseason and the offense is looking to come out of it's one year coma of last

As the 2009 season is fastly approaching, let's take a look at what could be in store for the Big XII this season. Starting with the North half of the conference, this shapes up to be a wide open race. On the side of experience i would tend to give Kansas the advantage heading in. Only two teams with a chance in the North return their starting QB's, Kansas and Colorado. Mizzou is a team to

College football is right around the corner, and in the coming weeks I'll be doing my preview of the Big XII and SEC conferences. I will follow mostly these two conferences but will also discuss the other major players in the BS ( i mean BCS ) system. Any thoughts or recommendations on what any of you would like to see in this blog would be appreciated.
