Top ten reasons we know college football season is approaching
Mark Mangino begins a rigorous pre-season fitness regimen. OU cheerleaders scramble to memorize the words to Boomer Sooner. Nerds across the country prepare for twelve weeks out of the shadows as they don Micheal Jackson-esque pseudo-military uniforms to march in the band. A Northwest Florida cryogenics lab begins de-icing Bobby Bowden. Joe Paterno starts sundowning. [...]

As Kansas cancels classes to celebrate Memphis’ inability to shoot free-throws, the rest of us are watching and reading about the 20 most meaningless practices of the year—because that’s all the college football we get until August 28th. (135 days and counting.) Alabama is in the post-Major Applewhite era, and seems very happy with the [...]

Ryan Perrilloux had a good reason for getting suspended (or at least that’s what LSU is telling us). Nevertheless, he will back on the practice field Monday. Apparently, Coach Rod is not making friends with Coach Carr’s players in Ann Arbor. I wonder if Big Blue fans wish that Les Miles wanted to come home? [...]

Amazing. Ryan Perrilloux is a moron. You are about to be the starting QB of the defending national champs and you can’t keep your nose clean for a couple months? Less than 6 weeks ago, Perrilloux was celebrating with 85 of his teammates on the Superdome floor; now, he’s suspended for the second time since [...]

ESPN.com’s Mark Schlabach has been assigned the task of predicting the ’08 season—during the winter of 2008, as opposed to the customary summer. First, he gave America this the morning after LSU defeated Ohio State in that fake title game. 5. USC The Trojans played like the best team in the country in their final [...]

Or at least that’s what Jonathan Chait would say, given that he debunked the speed myth six years ago: Like many myths, this one contains a bit of truth. Southern teams play outside their region only during two parts of the year: in September nonconference games, and in the bowls. Since the former take place [...]

Key paragraph from Schlabach’s piece: The No. 7 Trojans are better than both No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 LSU, which will play for the BCS championship Monday night in the Louisiana Superdome. The Buckeyes couldn’t even beat No. 13 Illinois, which was so clearly overmatched by USC. It’s a shame the Trojans can’t [...]

Turns out the folks behind the Kansas City Star’s playoff bracket have done a little simulation of their own, which they call December Madness. Currently they’ve settled on the Final Four: OSU vs. OU and Va Tech vs. SC (who beat LSU to get there, by the way). Also, they’ve predicted each of the bowl [...]
