We are coming to the end of the regular season and, as usual, there is the requisite complaints about the BCS and, naturally, the usual huffing and puffing over a possible playoff and how great it would be. First off, let’s get one thing clear: College football is imperfect. It is wonderfully imperfect. There’s nothing [...]

The latest from Tom Dienhart. All signs point toward LSU defensive coordinator Bo Pelini being the next coach at Nebraska. Pelini was one of three people I confirmed through my sources that Nebraska A.D. Tom Osborne interviewed. Buffalo coach Turner Gill and Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe were the others. Is Pelini really the guy [...]

I am 59-61-1 going into the final weekend of the season. Hopefully, I can come out ahead during bowl season. Here are my picks for this week. Navy (-14) vs. Army–Being a former squid myself, how could I not pick the Middies here? Navy 42, Army 20 Va. Tech (-4) at BC–I think the Hokies [...]

From a Missouri fan: Mr. Pundit, Just another quick note…About a decade ago there lived a beautiful princess in England…..yes, she was a princess, but more important than that was that she was the “People’s Princess.” The snooty royalty didn’t think much of her, but the common folk around the world loved her and admired [...]

The Football Coaches All-American team is out and one notable omission is Florida quarterback Tim Tebow. Instead of Tebow, the coaches chose Boston College’s Matt Ryan. The Football Coaches team is one of five All-American teams that is officially recognized by the NCAA. The other four are The Sporting News, The Football Writers, Associated Press [...]

I’ll be on KEBC-1340 in Oklahoma City today with Jenni Carlson at 2:20 p.m. PT. Check it out. Also, I’ve taped a segment on the Speeding Bullet Network discussing the Heisman and college football.

Was wondering about this one tonight. The media should’ve been discussing the merits of Darren McFadden’s Heisman candidacy this week. But did the drama surrounding Houston Nutt divert publicity away from McFadden? Possibly. It seems the buzz from the big win over LSU has dissipated and now the spotlight has been on all the turmoil [...]

We looked at the Chase Daniel and Tim Tebow web campaigns. Now check out the Darren McFadden web site.

Missouri has set up a Chase Daniel for Heisman web site. Unlike Florida’s offering, it is easy to find on the main page of the official Missouri site. There is also a page touting Martin Rucker for the Mackey Award. I bet he wins that one.

…for Tim Tebow is finally underway. Go to this link to see it–a very nice brochure supporting Tebow’s candidacy. Only problem was that it’s really nowhere to be found on Florida’s official site. I pretended I was a Heisman voter looking for information on Tebow and I couldn’t find this thing anywhere. If someone hadn’t [...]
