The most irrelevant poll in college football released its preseason version today. Here’s a conference breakdown of what the 59 ‘coaches’ believe: Big 12 – 3 of the top 9 (Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska) Big 10 – 4 of the top 14 (Ohio State, Iowa, Wisconsin and Penn State) ACC – 5 out of the [...]

Top 25 College Football Hotties of 2010 – #20 Jake Locker
The University of Washington hasn’t produced a winning season since 2002, but starting quarterback and Heisman candidate Jake Locker returns for a fifth year in hopes of erasing the sting of a less than memorable college career. We know it’s not a consolation prize, but in his fifth year, checking in at #20, Locker finally [...]
If agents are pimps is Saban a whore?
In light of the NCAA’s investigations into USC, the other USC (the one in South Carolina), Florida, Alabama and now Georgia, there’s sure to be much discussion as to the role of agents in college athletics. Football is the cash cow for universities, but only a handful of athletic departments break even or better yet [...]

Preseason College Football Polls
It’s never too early to cuss and discuss college football or college football hotties. Heck we’re T-minus 55 days to kickoff. The AP and ESPN/USA Today polls will not be out until August but here’s a consolidated look at some of college football’s preseason Top 25 polls:
Kiffin’s Karma
That gasping sound you hear from LA isn’t over the disbelief in Lindsey Lohan’s 90-day jail sentence for substance abuse/drunk driving/stupidity.

Big 12 holds on, what’s next?
Big 12 commish Dan Beebe and influential behind-the-scenes power brokers apparently brokered a deal to keep Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State in the Big 12 stabble. Don’t be surprised if down the road we learn the bowls, and possibly bowl sponsors, got involved in order to slow down or stall realignment. [...]
Texas A&M to SEC makes sense
Almost all of the chatter, save Chip Brown of orangebloods.com, about college conference expansion/implosions has been pure speculation. And when you consider all the public and behind closed doors posturing going on, it gives me tired head. So just like I did a few weeks ago with Nebraska’s move to the Big 10, I’m gonna [...]
