Posted by John Mitchell on September 11, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Georgia has started 0-2 for the first time in 15 years. Could we have asked more from the first two weeks of the college football season? After a great opening weekend, we had a bevy of excellent games in the second week of the season, with some big losses along the way. Some coaches saw their seats heat up this weekend, and one in particular could be in the beginning of the end of a long tenure with his school. Some new faces grace... Read More

It was hardly the prettiest of victories, but in the end Wisconsin finished off a methodical shutout rout of the visiting Oregon State Beavers to go to 2-0 on the season. The defense has, if anything, looked even better in 2011 under Chris Ash’s coordination than it did under former DC Dave Doeren last season. Against a green Oregon State offense, the Badgers plugged up every attempt to sustain any momentum by alternating QBs Sean Mannion and... Read More

John Mitchell: Well, that was an excellent opening weekend of college football with high drama and upsets. There was plenty of close contests despite a lot of the top teams opening up the season with a cupcake opponent. Zach Bigalke and Matt Strobl are here to help me preview the second weekend of action. The biggest news of the week has been Texas A&M officially being accepted into the SEC. What do you guys think of the move? Zach Bigalke: What... Read More

The Hot Seat Watch: 2011 Week 1

Posted by John Mitchell on September 6, 2011 · 1 Comment

Mark Richt's seat continues to heat up. We’re only one week into the college football season, and already some coaches have seen their seats heat up. A lot of coaches were on the hot seat at the end of last season, and it has carried over into this season, and some have seen their seats begin to warm after frustrating week one performances. There isn’t an FBS head coach at this point that surely will be fired, so that means all of these... Read More

John Mitchell: We hope you enjoyed our two-part SEC preview, and now we move on to the newly formed Pac-12, formerly known as the Pac-10.

We’re going to get our Pac-12 preview started with the North division. With me as always to dissect the division is Zach Bigalke and Matt Strobl. Zach Bigalke: Great... Read More
