You may (or may not) have been wondering where the BCS Buster Power Rankings were last week. Let’s just say my life was as disheveled as the BCS Buster landscape as the new week began, and both needed a few days to settle out. So we’re picking up this year’s first regular-season installment after the second week, after teams have had time to shake out the cobwebs and there is enough data to start honestly comparing the contenders...

This will be the third year that we’ve followed the trials and tribulations of teams outside the power structure trying to burst through onto the big stage. It might very well also be the penultimate opportunity we have to track them, at least in the terms that have been dictated over the past decade by the Bowl Championship Series. But a Buster by any name will be just as sweet, no matter what the future landscape of the college football postseason... Read More

Zach Bigalke: Welcome back to another edition of the Tailgater here at Breaking Tackles. I’ll be piloting this week’s panel, joined as always by Matt Strobl and John Mitchell.

Some teams are better than we expected; some teams are worse. But while we can plot and predict... Read More

The weekly Power Rankings have expanded this week to include teams that probably have absolutely no chance at the BCS… but definitely include some that should, even with a loss. Just fifteen undefeated teams remain out of the ten dozen that comprise the top division of college football, and with that number due to dwindle throughout the season as conference battles take their toll it isn’t unthinkable that we have a season like 2007 where...

After four weeks, the Heisman race remain wide open with many candidates still waiting in the wings to make their case on a national stage.
