Big East Is Still the BEAST

Big East is still the beast in spite of Texas' win against Villanova. Texas is the top team in their league, and 'Nova is ranked 12th but is a second tier team in Big East. Pitt, UConn, Louisville, or G'town would have given Texas a better game...

Big Ten Needs to Forfeit Iowa Win Due to Cheating

Cheating: to deceive. Iowa gets an unfair competitive advantage by adding heaters to their sidelines during games. This in turn leaves Penn State to fend for themselves against the odds...

Style Points Equate To Zero Class for All Institutions of Higher Learning

Joe Paterno and Bobby Bowden appear to be similar when looking up their winning records, age, and longevity of coaching D-1 football, but in reality they are two polar opposites...

Sweet Lou Was Not Good Enough To Beat The Gipper

Is it not true Lou was not allowed to surpass Knute Rockney's record of victories. That mentality is why Notre Dame has flubbed along since his departure. Gnaw on that fact, your base shot the goose that layed the golden egg...

Red Raiders Are Untested "The Best D They Faced Could Not Stop Prep School"

SOS IS NOT FACTORED FAIRLY IN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP DEBATE

The PAC 10 has six teams with a SOS in the top twenty due to very competitive scheduling. How does a team like Texas Tech with a SOS of a 103 ranked 7 in the country, whose toughest contest to date was to a 4-3 team the Nebraska Cornhuskers...
