The first games are in the books, and for those teams that survived the tough tests of the opening weekend there are just eleven more hurdles left to clear on the road toward becoming a BCS Buster. Several teams lost their best chance to emerge on the radar… and as we all know, even one defeat is the bane of a BCS Buster’s existence.

At the beginning of August, Texas A&M’s Rivals site reported that a deal had been struck and that A&M was on their way to the SEC. But now, close to a month later, it seems that Texas A&M’s move to the SEC is close to complete. A fire has finally... Read More

There was quite a bit of coaching turnover in college football this offseason, with 23 schools hiring new head coaches. A few of the historically powerful programs have new leaders patrolling the sidelines, and I’ve decided to rank the hires from 1-23, in reverse order.
