College football notes

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? [...]

Pac-10 vs. SEC, Round 24

As SI considers the ‘Pac-10 vs. SEC’ question, Bill Trocchi seeks some outside help in constructing his latest conference power rankings: For this particular exercise, I forwarded Ken White, the senior oddsmaker for Las Vegas Sports Consultants, 10 hypothetical matchups. Keep in mind that White’s company sets the odds for 90 percent of the casinos [...]

Saturday on the Couch – Recap (thanks to College Gameday Final)

Okay, so you got no live updates this week; I apologize. I was taking online defensive driving to get out of a ticket, so I saw very little of the daytime action and then the family came home and it was daddy/daughter time until SC started. First, maybe I was wrong about SC. For the [...]

Manic Monday

Michigan is in full panic mode and Ryan Mallett will start in the True Freshman Battle at the Big House. Apparently Frank Beamer wasn’t that impressed with Sean Glennon (though his comments last week beg to differ). Florida and Tennessee are both battling injuries before their traditional SEC kick-off. I know that we have to [...]

Rules for college football fans

Many of you have no doubt seen Page 2′s “New Rules for College Football Fans to Live By.” But let’s be honest: that’s a lot to read, and somewhere around Rule 26.a.1 our eyes started to glaze over. So here’s a condensed list: 1a. Under extenuating circumstances, however, you may have up to three Division [...]

1-AA now AP-eligible

In a complete overreaction, the AP powers that be have decided that voters can vote for anyone in 1-A or 1-AA in their Top 25. Why is this an overreaction? Well, an upset like this is still an extremely rare occurrence, and after next week no one’s going to give a crap about 1-AA football [...]
