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 […]

The first Bowl Championship Series standings of the season are released, and that takes us one step closer to Selection Sunday. There’s still half a season to be played, but now bowl projections and possible pairings can be discussed without the Way Too Early prefix.
