Bye weeks are never easy for college football fans. Georgia fans waved good-bye to the College Football Playoffs as they joined the “who’s out” list following an overtime loss to South Carolina as the ’Cocks proved they were more than game between the hedges. If I was on Twitter—and that’ll happen about the same time I touch my right elbow with my right hand…
Week eleven saw the Buckeyes rebound nicely against Sparty, a #1 team go down, Miami make a statement, and the all mighty, all powerful Alabama get pushed to the limit. There will be plenty of talk about who’s in and who’s out in the new playoff rankings, Heisman hopefuls, conference championships and everybody’s favorite topic…
Last week’s theme was “what the heck just happened?” and as appropriate as that might be and as easy as it would be to revert to it for week 10, I felt the readers of this column—both of you—deserved at least some effort on my part to show a little imagination and come up with something new to summarize what happened on the…
To sum up week nine I’m stealing shamelessly from Urban Meyer, noted head coach and wordsmith, “what the heck just happened?” They were asking that question in Columbus and State College; in Ames and Fort Worth; in Evanston and East Lansing and in places like Gainesville where Jim McElwain left Florida.
Seven weeks of the college football season are in the book and so far, if there are plans to make a movie of this book, chances are the film won’t completely suck. Big plays; record setting performances—both good and bad–wild finishes and other oddities worth noting are what this column is all about and the past weekend of action didn’t…
If your team is going to play 15 games this season, then incredibly, you’re already a third of the way through the season. Wasn’t week one like just two weeks ago? We’re not real ‘mathy’ here at EiCF, but we do know conference play is in full swing and chances are you’re studying your team’s schedule to calculate the number of wins…
We’re four weeks into the 2017 season and things are starting to get interesting. Like, how bad is the SEC East? When will USC go all “USC on itself?” Coaches on the hot seat and Heisman hopefuls are recurring topics of discussion and on the field, most of the top teams won—and yes, I’m looking at you Oklahoma State—and while you…
Three weeks of the 2017 season are in the books and if things continue as they did this week, we’re going to need bigger books. The top teams in the country made strong statements about the their viability to be a top team and several others pulled surprising wins over the weekend. Memphis over UCLA, Stanford falling again…
The old football adage says the most improvement in a team happens between week 1 and week 2. If you’re an Oklahoma fan, that looked to be the case and if you’re an Ohio State fan, well, not so much. There were plenty of big games this weekend and as usual, the major networks provided an “all you can watch” buffet of action…
