Bowl Selections are confusing

I’ve been doing bracketology for over a decade now, so I’m as familiar with the selection process as anyone. After doing it for a while, you start to understand the confluence of “science” (RPI ratings, strength of schedule, etc) and “art” (the subjective selection process, the influence of conference ties in the selection room), and [...]

Hurting the ones we love - College Football update

Some games from today, and the various implications involved therein:
— Tennessee maintains control of the SEC East by a whisker, coming back from a 15 point fourth-quarter deficit to knock off Vanderbilt 25-24. The Commodores blew a chance at bowl eligibility, falling to 5-6 on the season — and manage to screw Georgia in the [...]

Kentucky, Division I’s winningest program, hadn’t lost a regular-season game to a mid-major since falling to Western Kentucky on Nov. 15, 2001, in that season’s opener. It lost to [...]

Correct spelling is optional at the WWL

In the Louisville/West Virginia pre-game on ESPN, the WWL ran some graphic with a quote from University of Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly complimenting the Cardinals quarterback Brohm. The problem?
C-I-N-C-I-N-N-A-T-T-I.
Don’t worry ESPNites: We know the Queen City has a tough name to spell. For a third grader (of course this gives ESPN the chance to run [...]

President Shalala…she means business…

This weekend marks the final time that the Miami Hurricanes will play a home game in the Orange Bowl, as the struggling ‘Canes take on the Virginia Cavaliers. It’s sure to be an interesting evening, with 60-some years of tradition coming to a close.
However, if Miami students are planning on rushing the field after the [...]
