The cardiac kids of college football, otherwise known as the #4 ranked Iowa Hawkeyes, suffered their first defeat of the season at the hands of Northwestern 17-10 on Saturday.

Five pivotal football games with five big questions
Five games across the football world this weekend will go a long way in separating the good from the mediocre and each game has a big question that must be answered.

Florida and Texas take care of business

I don’t consider the AP coaches poll cause there’s no accountability built in and a number of coaches don’t actually vote in it. It’s pretty clear that if the Tide and Gators [...]

I know that if I haven’t traveled to a particular school then the only piece of data I have in my subconscious is how a school presents themselves on TV. In his book Blink, Malcolm Gladwell refers to [...]
Three turnaround teams
At the beginning of the football season much time is wasted by guys like me trying to predict the future. For me the hardest thing to predict isn’t who’s going to make the playoffs or win bowl games but rather which teams will be drastically better or worse than the previous year. I guess you [...]
