Many believe that this is finally the year that the ACC has a national title contender with the possibility of either Virginia Tech or Florida State running the table.  Well, I’m still not buying it.  Last year I commented that this conference’s downfall was the fact that the ACC hasn’t had a team make a [...]

****WARNING***   BEWARE OF SHOCKING PICKS BELOW! Now, it’s time to move to the automatic qualifying schools, as I am not publishing my first preview of a BCS conference.  The Big East will have a very different vibe next year with the inclusion of TCU, but this year it will the same ol’ eight team pit [...]

The Mountain West is certainly in a state of flux right now, and it will continue be for the next couple of years.  This year the league loses two of its most prominent members but picks up one, and next year they will lose another but pick up three.  All in all, it is hard to [...]

Ranking the Independents is always a tough task because it’s like comparing apples to oranges since their schedules are so different.  The addition of BYU this year makes things even harder because they don’t even play against any of other independent schools.  Still, there seems to be a clear hierarchy between these four teams this [...]

In all of my past college football preview guides I have ranked the Sun Belt and MAC as the two worst Division 1-A football conference.  However, the WAC has now fallen below the MAC in my opinion thanks to the departure of Boise.  Next year of course will be much worse, as Fresno State, Nevada, [...]

We’ll start with the worst conference and work our way up from there.  The Sun Belt will once again be the worst of all FBS conferences, but it won’t be for much longer.  After Fresno, Nevada, and Hawaii depart from the WAC next fall, then the Western Athletic Conference will undoubtedly assume the role of [...]

Over the next several weeks, I will post my 5th annual college football preview guide on this blog for your enjoyment.  If you have read my blog before, you know that I am an avid college football fan who posts weekly blog entries about my insights and analysis throughout the season.  I also write a [...]
