Now that the season is over, I decided to take the time to work on something I’ve wanted to do for a while–redesign this site.
We’re in the middle of doing just that right now, so as you can see, posting is minimal. I’ll be back in full fury soon to talk about [...]

It’s very early, but here are my top 10 team heading into next season. While this past year was exciting, there weren’t really any great teams. Expect next year to feature a wealth of great teams.
1. Georgia–Everyone is back, though the Dawgs will have to leave the South for the first time since [...]

The clamor continues for a fix to the current BCS mess. As ESPN writes, there is a proposal for 8-team playoffs, or a plus-one feature to the current system.

1. Georgia (11-2)–I thought the Bulldogs should have been in New Orleans. In my opinion, they were the best team this year.
2. USC (11-2)–The Trojans’ talent can be breathtaking at times. But lackluster coaching and injuries created another ‘what if’ season.
3. LSU (12-2)–The Tigers now have two controversial BCS titles in the last [...]

While I don’t think Les Miles is a particularly good game coach, he deserves credit for hiring two very bright coordinators. Gary Crowton’s spread attack using multiple formations confused Ohio State’s [...]

My prediction for the game: I believe Ohio State will win in a close one. Let’s go with a score of 24-20.
In the end, I just think Jim Tressel is a better coach than Les Miles. [...]
