We will preview a college football week each day for 15 days, including scores and updated standings for each week. At the conclusion of those previews, we will present our bowl match-ups with results and final updated pre-season Power Rankings (see original rankings below).

Rosters and depth charts are up-to-date and as accurate as possible as of August 1, 2008. A schedule of upcoming college football preview content including links to other previews that have already been posted is located here. 

Also, see below for details on how you can run your own college football program for FREE.

Today we preview Week 14.

Game of the Week: #15 Kansas 34.8 (8-3) @ #9 Missouri 34.2 (10-2) 
You read that right. Missouri actually wins this game more often than not (57.4% of the time), despite being outscored on average. In 2007, this was supposed to be a great game, and it was a good game. In 2008, with the Big Twelve North title and a spot in the Big Twelve Championship Game on the line, this is a great game. With the score going one way and the win percentage going the other, this is as close as we get to a toss-up. We say that Missouri moves on, loses to Oklahoma the next week (sound familiar?) but then still makes a BCS bowl.
