Notre Dame and the ACC: I called this two years ago

By

Editor's note: I originally published this on December 29th, 2011. Looks like I saw the future a few months ahead: As Notre Dame prepares to kick off versus Florida State today in the Champs Sports Bowl, the answer to where ND fits in the long term conference expansion is becoming painfully obvious. The Irish will face their fourth ACC opponent, and look to go 4-0 in the … [Read more...] about Notre Dame and the ACC: I called this two years ago

Orange Bowl rep to NIU: “We didn’t want you here” (Huskies don’t prove him wrong)

By

It appears ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit has a soul mate. Or at least someone who shares his feelings that the NIU Huskies don't belong in the BCS Orange Bowl. During the selection show he called their placement "a joke." Can't Northern Illinois get any respect?

With top-ranked Oklahoma visiting fifth-ranked Florida State, we have our first de facto in season playoff game.

Because you need to be undefeated to even have a chance to play for a national title. The … [Read more...] about #1 Oklahoma Sooners vs. #5 Florida State Seminoles: Brutally Honest Game Preview

#5 Florida State Seminoles: College Football 77 in 77

By

Expectations are sky high in Tallahassee this fall. But I have to be honest, I believe the main theme of this Florida State Seminoles season will be more like 1991 or '92, or some of those mid 90s teams that just missed than the 1993 or 1999 national championship seasons. When I look at this roster, and focus in on class standing, I think 2012 is their year to win it all. So … [Read more...] about #5 Florida State Seminoles: College Football 77 in 77
