- Would a College Football Playoff Be Fair? 11:23am Nov 17
Once upon a time (yes, I'm old, I'm 40), the third weekend of November brought us the de facto end of the football season. The biggest rivalries were played on this weekend...
There are enough bowl projections out there to jam up an entire server, so the Guru is not going to go there. So instead of matchups, I'm going to break down the bowl picture by placing teams in categories of possible bowl attainment...
The following is a guest column written by two economists on the merits of a college football playoff. This article also appeared in RealClearSports...
The 2009 college football season has been about as dramatic as a textbook published by your average college professor. Dry as a bone. Six undefeated teams, from five conferences. In fact, there are only eight teams with fewer than two losses in all of Division I-A (FBS)...
As we get closer to the finish line, it seems like amateur hour all over the web. All sorts of people who have as strong a grasp on college football as they do on grammar are coming out with incredibly nonsensical scenarios...
When it comes to propaganda and publicity, the Pac-10 is woefully ill-prepared in this arms race. Of all the BCS conference, no one undersells itself better than the Pac-10...
The Guru's Blogpoll ballot, with notes below: RankTeamDelta 1 Texas 2 Alabama 3 Florida 4 TCU 2 5 Boise State 1 6 Cincinnati 1 7 Pittsburgh 6 8 Georgia Tech 2 9 LSU 1 10 Oregon 5 11 USC 1 12 Ohio State 4 13 ...
While you're digesting all of those scores from Saturday night, the most important one might've flown under the radar: 220-215. Those five votes could mean the difference of all the bowl money ever spent in the history of college football ... and then some...
All the bowl talk could all vaporize if a few games don't go according to plan. But fear not, with the SEC and Big Ten refs carrying Blackberries to receive instant messages from their respective league offices, the "better" teams will find a way to win at the end. Trust me...
Let's go first thing first, since I made the pledge to investigate last week's inaccurate projection of the No. 2 team in the BCS Standings. Well, the findings turned out to be as simple as what the Warren Commission uncovered: A single shooter with a magic bullet...

1453. 1644. 1917. And now, Halloween 2009. Like the Byzantine, Ming and Romanov empires, all good things must come to an end. Such was the case for the Trojan Dynasty that has ruled the Pac-10 since 2002. In retrospect, it was easy to see that this was a rebuilding year for USC...
Mike Gundy may be a man now (at least he thinks so), but part of his everyday challenge is very much the burden foisted upon every boy the world over - making his daddy proud. Gundy's daddy, metaphorically speaking, of course, is T. Boone Pickens, a Texas oil man...
After the 2001 season, the BCS forced the computers remaining in the BCS formula to remove margin of victory (MOV) as an element in their respective algorithms. The reason, ostensibly, is that it discourages teams from running up the score since they wouldn't benefit from it...
