Oklahoma, the new Ohio State, is 0-2 versus teams with a defense
Oklahoma played two really good defenses all year. They lost to both of them. So, this vaunted OU "juggernaut" that we were nauseatingly told set a record in points scored this season (even ...

The Method to the Madness of Midseason Coaching Changes
Florida did it back in 2004, SMU did it last year, and Clemson has done it this year. What am I talking about? Firing their coach midseason. This is a relatively new thing. Some consider it poor taste...

Ohio State Should Serve As a Warning to College Football Fans
In various articles and posts today, I'm now seeing Buckeye fans admit to their team being overrated for the past three years. However, it's worthwhile to add a little perspective here. Ohio State wasn't that overrated last year to start the year...
