BlogPoll Preseason College Football Top 25 Rankings: Why Limit Ourselves to Looking Ahead to 2012?
(Author’s Note: The rankings following the jump are intended in jest. Bring your sense of humor with you. You have been warned.) Our good friend (and soon-to-be conference coeval) Bill Connelly, of whom I made mention earlier today after he gave Mark Richt the credit due him (and thereby almost...
Michigan State Spartans 33, Georgia Bulldogs 30: All's Bad That Ends Badly?
At the risk of sounding overly melodramatic, the 2012 Outback Bowl encapsulated everything that Georgia football has embodied, good, bad, and contradictory, for the last several seasons. In the course of their triple-overtime loss to the Michigan St. Spartans in Tampa, the Georgia Bulldogs were...
New Year's Day (+1) College Football Bowl Open Comment Thread
Happy New Year! The Outback Bowl dedicated open comment thread is set to open at 12:30 p.m. Eastern, but, in the meantime, this will serve as your general discussion thread for the day's college football action not involving the Georgia Bulldogs.

Georgia Bulldogs v. Michigan State Spartans: Too Much Information on the Outback Bowl
You may not be aware of this, but the Georgia Bulldogs are scheduled to take on the Michigan St. Spartans in the Outback Bowl on Monday afternoon in a battle of 10-3 conference runners-up who held halftime leads in their respective conference championship games. For purposes of previewing the...
Penn State Coaching Search Targets Mark Richt: Why the Nittany Lions Will Not Poach the Bulldogs' Coach
As NCT noted on Friday, rumors abound regarding Mark Richt and the Penn St. Nittany Lions. Frankly, these rumors are both ignorant and stupid, and anyone who takes these rumors seriously is either ignorant or stupid, but these rumors are out there, nevertheless, so, unfortunately, they warrant...

College Football BlogPoll Ballot (Week 12): Not Every Team in My Top Three Plays in the SEC West
Compiling a top 25 this week was particularly challenging, for a variety of reasons, but, as always, I take my responsibilities as a BlogPoll voter seriously. Here, for what it’s worth, is how the best teams in college football stack up on my ballot: <!-- SB Nation BlogPoll Top 25 Ballot...
Penn State Was Right to Fire Joe Paterno
The wins will survive, obviously. Six undefeated seasons, two national championships, three Big Ten titles, etc. His philanthropy will survive. They're not going to take his name off the library. His sheer longevity at Penn State — 46 years as a head coach, 62 years altogether — will be in there,...
Don't Bet On It!: The College Football National Game of Disinterest
We have taken a look at what is, to be blunt, rather a weak college football slate on the national scene, so, before we turn to the much more intriguing matchups to be found in the SEC, I would like to take this opportunity to identify the national game of disinterest. On a weekend as bland as this...
Don't Bet On It!: College Football Predictions for the National Games of Interest
