West Virginia leads series 32-4-2. (Last meeting: Dec. 4, 2010: WVU 35, Rutgers 14) No. 25 West Virginia looks to regain its position as the Big East favorite when the team travels to Piscataway to face Rutgers in its second-consecutive road game. Both the Mountaineers and Scarlet Knights enter Saturday’s game with 5-2 records, each holding one Big East loss (both suffered last Friday night.) West Virginia has claimed at least a share of the conference title five of the […]

The No. 22 Georgia Bulldogs (5-2, 4-1 SEC) and the Florida Gators (4-3, 2-3 SEC) face off in Jacksonville this weekend for one of college football’s most stories rivalries. The rivalry began 1915 and is one of few such games still played at a neutral-site. The Gators hold a three-game winning streak over the Dawgs, including a 34-31 victory last year in the series’ first overtime game when Chas Henry drilled a 37-yard field goal as time expired.

The great thing about days like last Saturday is that they remind us of why we love college football. Michigan State’s miracle Hail Mary against Wisconsin was the kind of once-in-a-lifetime moment that Spartan fans will cite for years to come. The “bad” thing (not really bad) about those days is that on the following Monday, our Team Selection Committee has to sit down and make sense of it all. A wild weekend in college football changed the landscape for […]

An intriguing weekend across the Big East and ACC starts early with a pair of Friday night games with Champs Sports Bowl implications. All three of the conference leaders in the Big East – Cincinnati, Rutgers and West Virginia – all hit the road this week against league opponents. Tonight, the Scarlet Knights travel to Louisville and the Mountaineers visit Syracuse. Tomorrow afternoon, the Bearcats are in Tampa to meet USF. If all three maintain their unblemished conference records, we […]

Now that the first BCS standings have been released, it’s time to start up one of our (ok, my) favorite games around the office: If The Season Ended Today. We’re not PROJECTING the bowls; we’re treating the current poll like the final one, so you can get a better idea of how the bowl process works.

After the release of the first Bowl Championship Series standings, our Team Selection Committee has begun to talk in earnest about available teams. Unfortunately for prognosticators (but fortunately for fans of college football), a lot of the teams on our radar still have to play each other. There will be a number of great games in the second half of the year that will impact our picture way more than anything we’ve seen so far.

One week after Wake Forest shook up the ACC Atlantic division, the other side of the conference experienced some upheaval. Two upsets in the Coastal changed the face of the division race while the Atlantic returned (somewhat) to status quo. Meanwhile, the Big East remains in a sort of limbo as contenders continue to dance around each other. ACC Results Miami 30, UNC 24 Virginia 24, Georgia Tech 21 Virginia Tech 38, Wake Forest 17 Clemson 56, Maryland 45 Florida […]
