December 1, 2007 has come and gone, which means that this wild and crazy season is over. No one was great, everyone claimed to be good, and we are left with a system that is designed to give us a 1 vs. 2 game—based on the opinions of 167 people who don’t watch every game [...]

You’ve probably heard some talking heads and journalists calling Stanford-USC the biggest upset in the sport’s history. Apparently just comparing point spreads is the most efficient way to determine that, but in case you’re one of those rare college football fans who consider more than Vegas odds, here are a few fun factoids: in 2004 [...]

Apparently Big 12 officials want to make up for Oklahoma getting screwed at Oregon last year: turns out the onside kick in the Arkansas State/Texas game that was ruled an illegal formation was a mistake by the homer officials.

Another interesting datum on USC’s toughest-in-the-nation schedule:
USC is the only team from one of the six major BCS conferences that did not play a game against an opponent outside a BCS conference. Wisconsin also has just one loss (to Michigan), but it isn’t involved in national-title talk because it played Bowling Green, Western Illinois, San [...]
