NCAA Football Preview: Ohio St. vs. Marshall
September 2, 2010
Terrelle Pryor and the #2 Ohio St. Buckeyes begin their season Thursday when they take on the Marshall Thundering Herd. Pryor is considered one of the odds on favorites by most NCAA football experts to win the Heisman trophy this year due to his combination of arm strength, accuracy and speed at the quarterback position. Going against a Marshall defense that allowed just under 25 points per game last year to their opponents in Conference USA, should be the perfect stage for Pryor to display his skill...

Despite being slated to play just 2 teams that are ranked in the pre-season top-25, the Panthers will have a very difficult time navigating...
Michigan’s Rodriguez on the Hot Seat
August 31, 2010
Michigan Head Coach Rich Rodriguez better produce an 8 win season or he will not be back in Ann Arbor next season. Coach Rod has had two disastrous seasons at the Big House. Scrapping the traditional power football that Michigan has run for generations for the spread that Rodriguez made famous at West Virginia has not produced the results many expected. Football experts are picking the Wolverines near the bottom of the Big 10. Michigan has not been this bad for decades. Even during down years with...
Despite Dirty Bush USC Still Smells Like a Rose Bowl
August 15, 2010
Many football handicappers are way off thinking USC is going to drop from the nation’s elite programs. The Trojans were hit hard by the NCAA for the Reggie Bush violations five years ago.

Pete Carroll has left for the Seattle Seahawks but Lane Kifffen was groomed by Carroll to take over the program when he departed. Many football picks sites are calling for...

August 12, 2010
Now that Tim Tebow is throwing passes for the Denver Broncos don’t expect a huge drop off from Urban Meyer’s Florida Gators.

GMAC Bowl Preview: C. Michigan vs. Troy
January 6, 2010
The GMAC Bowl may not be high up on everyone’s list of bowl games to watch, but it may very well be one of the best games this post-season. The Central Michigan Chippewas face the Troy Trojans in a battle of non-BCS conference champions. C. Michigan has been at the top of the Mid-American Conference for several years now with their dynamic offense. Star quarterback Dan LeFevour has led this team once again to double-digit wins and a bowl game. He may be the least known superstar in college football....
Fed Ex Orange Bowl Preview: Iowa vs. Georgia Tech
January 5, 2010
The Fed Ex Orange Bowl will be played Tuesday night on FOX. This match-up is intriguing as both teams have different philosophies on winning. Georgia Tech runs a spread option attack that has baffled opposing defenses all season, while the Iowa Hawkeyes have played stout defense to get to their 10-2 record. The Iowa Hawkeyes started the season 9-0 and ranked in the top-10 in the country. A convincing win over then 5th ranked Penn St in week 5 made it seem as though this was the year that the Hawkeyes...

The 6th ranked Boise St. Broncos take on the 4th ranked TCU Horned Frogs Monday night in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona. Outside of the BCS National Championship between Texas and Alabama, no game has been more hyped. Both of these undefeated teams come from non-BCS conferences, and would like to have proven themselves in the big game. However, this game should...
