Slive Pumps the Brakes Somewhat on Playoff Talk
One of the immediate lessons coming out of the 2011 college football season is that a playoff is coming to the Football Bowl Subdivision. Even the traditionally anti-playoff Big Ten has leaked a plus one plan, though it's more to make the conference look like its not standing in the way of progress...
B1G Thinking About a Four Team College Football Playoff
The Big Ten is planning to propose a four-team college football playoff system to supplement, not replace the current bowl structure and BCS. Previously, the Big Ten was one of the fiercest opponents to a playoff system, but now recognizes that many, if not most, college football fans consider the...
A Playoff Is Coming
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: the SEC has won the current BCS system. After Auburn got left out of the title game 2004, SEC partisans relentlessly pushed the idea that it was ludicrous to exclude the champion from the nation's best conference if it was one of the worthy...

Do you believe in miracles? Yes! BSU wins it all
A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you're fast asleep. And we have had the following dream/wish every night for the past two months (click for a larger view): Boise State Broncos: National Champions. ESPN's bowl simulator says so; therefore, it must be true. This Cinderella story was sent...
