Make no mistake about it: The spread attack is here to stay. College Basketball Mon, 26 Nov 2007 20:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=301 Our Week 13 roundup looks at great performances from Missouri, Hawaii and West Virginia and disappointing showings from LSU, Kansas State and Miami along with players of the week and other national notes. College Basketball Mon, 26 Nov 2007 19:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=300 Virginia Tech won its second Coastal Division title in three years by beating rival Virginia, while Boston College snapped its 15-game losing streak against Miami to set up this year's ACC championship game. Also, the craziest regular season in recent SEC history ended with another wild weekend of action, including a big Mississippi State comeback, two intense overtime games and the always eventful Iron Bowl. College Basketball Mon, 26 Nov 2007 12:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=299 Oklahoma and Missouri clinched their spots in the Big 12 title game after big wins Saturday while a fourth of the league's coaches lost their jobs. And left for dead a month ago as a title contender, USC now can advance to the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day if it can beat UCLA next Saturday or if Arizona State loses to Arizona, thanks to the Trojans' dominating victory over the Sun Devils this week. College Basketball Mon, 26 Nov 2007 11:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=298 West Virginia crushed UConn this weekend to secure a share of the Big East title and a Bowl Championship Series berth. The Mountaineers are also in line for a slot in the Allstate BCS National Championship Game. College Basketball Mon, 26 Nov 2007 10:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=287 The question reduced Les Miles to tears – and not because he’s some sort of softy. He remembers the Nick Saban situation from last year. Everybody does. Still, people want to know: Will Les bolt for Michigan? College Basketball Mon, 19 Nov 2007 16:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=286 Our Week 12 roundup looks at great performances from Michigan State, Indiana and Texas Tech and disappointing showings from Iowa, California and Alabama along with players of the week and other national notes. College Basketball Mon, 19 Nov 2007 15:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=285 In the ACC, the Eagles have landed atop the Atlantic Division. Boston College ended Clemson’s Atlantic title hopes for the third straight year and in the process, clinched a spot in the championship game itself. Also, there’s a good chance they won’t take part in the SEC Championship Game, but, after winning their fifth straight, the Georgia Bulldogs are clearly playing as well as any team in the nation’s most difficult conference. College Basketball Mon, 19 Nov 2007 14:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=284 Both Big 12 title game spots will be decided this weekend after Oklahoma was upset by Texas Tech last week. And the Big 12 game of the year will be played in Kansas City when the undefeated Kansas Jayhawks square off with the one-loss Missouri Tigers. After Oregon fell to Arizona last Thursday, the Pac-10 Conference race was thrown back into a mad scramble, elevating the once-beaten Arizona State Sun Devils into first place alone, with the USC Trojans and Oregon now sharing second. College Basketball Mon, 19 Nov 2007 13:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=283 While West Virginia moved up to No. 3 in the newest BCS standings, the Mountaineers are set up with Connecticut next week for the Big East championship after the Huskies rolled over Syracuse this week. Meanwhile in the Big Ten, Lloyd Carr's tenure as Michigan coach ended with another loss to the Buckeyes as Jim Tressel led his team to yet another BCS berth. Also, Michigan State and Indiana helped their bowl cases by winning their finales. College Basketball Mon, 19 Nov 2007 12:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=279 Michigan hosts Ohio State in the conference curtain-dropper for each team, as usual. The nation will be watching; a trip to Pasadena goes to the winner, and if that weren’t enough, Lloyd Carr’s legacy could well be at stake. College Basketball Mon, 12 Nov 2007 20:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=273 Our Week 11 roundup looks at great performances from Illinois, N.C. State and Iowa State and disappointing showings from Miami, South Carolina and Houston along with players of the week and other national notes. College Basketball Mon, 12 Nov 2007 19:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=272 Four teams remain in contention for the Big 12 title game after this past Saturday's games, which saw Oklahoma and Nebraska roll, Texas, Missouri and Kansas hold on for dear life and Iowa State complete a huge comeback. And in the Pac-10, Huskies quarterback Jake Locker suffered a scary injury Saturday as Oregon State knocked off Washington to become bowl eligible. Also, USC defeated Cal, Arizona State held on against UCLA, and Washington State held out hope for a bowl against Stanford. College Basketball Mon, 12 Nov 2007 18:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=271 West Virginia pulled out an exciting game against rival Louisville this past week, setting up a first-place battle in the Big East this week against Cincinnati who ended UConn's undefeated conference season. And in the Big Ten, Michigan and Ohio State both lost the week before their big showdown for the first time since 1959. Also, the Big Ten welcomed its eighth, ninth and 10th teams to bowl eligibility this week. College Basketball Mon, 12 Nov 2007 17:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=270 With BC losing and Clemson winning this past Saturday, a battle for the Atlantic Division championship has been set up this week. Also, Virginia helped send the Orange Bowl out in memorable fashion and NC State held on against rival UNC. Meanwhile, in the SEC, Mississippi State beat its third ranked team this season and put itself into a crowded group of bowl-eligible SEC teams. Also this week, Georgia pummeled Auburn, Florida rolled over South Carolina and Tennessee drilled Arkansas. College Basketball Mon, 12 Nov 2007 16:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=264 Our Week 10 roundup looks at great performances from Kansas, Navy and LSU and disappointing showings from Miami, South Carolina and Minnesota along with players of the week and other national notes. College Basketball Fri, 02 Nov 2007 16:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=263 Now that Arkansas running back Darren McFadden has “reentered” the Heisman debate by rolling over South Carolina for 321 yards, Michael Bradley wants to revisit the criteria for the award. College Basketball Fri, 02 Nov 2007 15:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=257 After their classic game the previous week, Boston College and Virginia Tech's fortunes reversed last week, as the Eagles' perfect season came to an end against Florida State and the Hokies swatted the Yellow Jackets. Meanwhile, the SEC has sanctioned college football since 1933. It might not be a stretch to make the claim that the 2007 season is the best the league has ever seen. This week was no different. College Basketball Fri, 02 Nov 2007 14:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=256 Three Big 12 coaches whose jobs appear to be in definite jeopardy lost Saturday, and things aren't looking up from here. And in the battle of this year's Pac-10 elite, Oregon dealt Arizona State its first loss of the season. Arizona, California, USC and Washington also walked away with conference victories this week. College Basketball Fri, 02 Nov 2007 13:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=255 While Big East beast West Virginia rested its head this week, Connecticut continued to stitch a cushion in the conference’s title race. Also this week, Cincinnati took advantage of eight USF turnovers and Pitt knocked off Syracuse. In the Big Ten, Indiana honored its late coach, Terry Hoeppner, by achieving his goal of attaining bowl eligibility Saturday, while Ohio State won a tough matchup against Wisconsin, and Iowa, Michigan, Penn State and Illinois were victorious in other league action. College Basketball Fri, 02 Nov 2007 12:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=244 Our Week 9 roundup looks at great performances from Connecticut, Georgia and Buffalo and disappointing showings from Kentucky, Washington and California along with players of the week and other national notes. College Basketball Tue, 30 Oct 2007 19:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=243 Currently, there are four unbeaten teams. None of them were even expected to sniff their conference title at the beginning of the season, and yet here they are, still with a chance at the crystal trophy. Michael Bradley examines the chances of each to remain perfect. College Basketball Tue, 30 Oct 2007 18:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=242 Last week, Boston College scored 14 points in the final 2:11 of the game to defeat Virginia Tech in an important Thursday ACC matchup. Also, N.C. State upset Virginia, while Clemson, Florida State and Wake Forest took care of business. In the SEC, Mississippi State knocked off the Wildcats in Lexington. Also, Georgia pulled out all the stops to defeat Florida, while Tennessee, Auburn, Arkansas and Vanderbilt recorded victories as well. College Basketball Tue, 30 Oct 2007 17:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=241 It’s basketball season in Lawrence, but amazingly, the attention still remains focused on Mark Mangino’s football team. After a dominating 19–11 victory at Texas A&M Saturday, that’s exactly where the attention should be. One thing about the Jayhawks’ success is for sure: It’s great for the league. And on one of the more entertaining Pac-10 weekends in recent memory, a lot happened, including Oregon defeating USC, Arizona State remaining unbeaten and Washington State, Oregon State and Arizona also picking up victories. College Basketball Tue, 30 Oct 2007 16:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=240 In a stunning upset, Connecticut defeated No. 11 South Florida this past weekend and turned the Big East title race upside down. Louisville and West Virginia also picked up important conference wins. Meanwhile, fans who worry about conference supremacy have to admit that when it comes to showdown matchups, the Big Ten has ranked dead last among its peers so far. Saturday's blowout of Penn State by Ohio State was a prime example. College Basketball Tue, 30 Oct 2007 15:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=234 Our Week 8 roundup looks at great performances from Vanderbilt, Kansas and UCLA and disappointing showings from Tennessee, Minnesota and Iowa along with players of the week and other national notes. College Basketball Mon, 22 Oct 2007 21:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=233 Ohio State climbed to the top of the polls thanks to an 8-0 record against a relatively soft schedule, but Michael Bradley says the final four games will determine what the Buckeyes are really made of. College Basketball Mon, 22 Oct 2007 20:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=232 Virginia is 4-0 in ACC play after pulling out another one-point victory over Maryland. Miami won the only other league game of the week against rival Florida State, but Clemson, Georgia Tech, N.C. State and Wake each picked up non-conference wins. And in the SEC, Vanderbilt pulled the nation's biggest upset of the weekend by taking down South Carolina, but SEC road teams, like Florida and Arkansas this week, have had similar success throughout the season. College Basketball Mon, 22 Oct 2007 19:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=231 Nebraska suffered another setback at home against Texas A&M which officially puts Bill Callahan on the hot seat. Also, Oklahoma State rallied to defeat Kansas State, while OU, Texas, Kansas and Mizzou also picked up wins. In the Pac-10, Oregon pulled away from rival Washington late to move to 6-1 this season, while USC handled Notre Dame, Stanford pulled out a last-minute win over Arizona, and UCLA kept itself in the think of things with a big victory against Cal. College Basketball Mon, 22 Oct 2007 18:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=230 Rutgers ended South Florida's Cinderella run to the top of the rankings Thursday night, while UConn added more problems to Louisville's season. Also in Big East action, Pitt upset Cincinnati, and West Virginia and Syracuse won non-conference games. And in the Big Ten, Minnesota suffered another setback by falling to North Dakota State, but Michigan and Penn State appear to be back on track after pushing Illinois and Indiana aside, while Ohio State continued to roll as the No. 1 team in the nation. College Basketball Mon, 22 Oct 2007 17:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=218 Is it too early to think about a Boston College-South Florida national championship game? Michael Bradley doesn't think so. In fact, he's already got your preview for a FOX ratings nightmare in this week's Goal Line Stand. College Basketball Mon, 15 Oct 2007 19:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=217 The surprising Boston College Eagles now sit third in the BCS standings following a 27-14 victory over Notre Dame on Saturday. Also in ACC action, Georgia Tech held off Miami, and Virginia knocked off previously undefeated Connecticut in Charlottesville. Meanwhile, Kentucky has emerged as the unlikely frontrunner in the SEC East after its improbable 43-37 triple overtime win over No. 1 LSU. College Basketball Mon, 15 Oct 2007 18:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=216 South Florida continues to be the surprise story of the 2007 college football season. The Bulls remained undefeated after a 64-12 beatdown of in-state rival Central Florida and debuted at No. 2 in the BCS standings. College Basketball Mon, 15 Oct 2007 17:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=215 Ohio State remained undefeated and jumped to No. 1 in the BCS rankings after knocking off Kent State 48-3, but it was Iowa's win over Illinois that took honors as the best game of the week in the Big Ten. College Basketball Mon, 15 Oct 2007 16:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=214 The Pac-10 produced a huge upset for the second straight week as Oregon State knocked No. 2 Cal from the ranks of the unbeaten. The Golden Bears' loss combined with Arizona State's 44-20 win over Washington means the undefeated Sun Devils now sit atop the conference standings.  College Basketball Mon, 15 Oct 2007 15:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=204 Arkansas bulldozed its way past Auburn to an upset victory last season at Jordan-Hare Stadium. This year, the scene shifts to Arkansas' home turf where Heisman Trophy candidate Darren McFadden looks to lead his Hogs to a win over a Tigers squad that is playing its best football of the season. College Basketball Mon, 08 Oct 2007 21:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=198 It's been a wild season of college football, and this season is proving that the antiquated system of using polls to choose a champion is becoming more and more outdated. College Basketball Mon, 08 Oct 2007 20:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=197 After what looked like a special season in the making, Clemson lost its second consecutive game because of special teams blunders. Also, North Carolina pulled the league's upset of the week, while Maryland outlasted Georgia Tech. And over in the SEC, LSU used a fourth-quarter comeback back to defeat Florida in the conference's premier game of the weekend, but Tennessee, South Carolina and Auburn also picked up league victories. College Basketball Mon, 08 Oct 2007 19:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=196 This week in the Big 12, Oklahoma won the Red River Rivalry against Texas, Kansas defeated Kansas State on the road for the first time in 18 years and Missouri took command of the North by routing Nebraska. And in a year of upsets, Stanford pulled off one of the biggest against USC this weekend, while UCLA took a tumble to formerly winless Notre Dame, and Arizona State and Oregon State picked up conference victories. College Basketball Mon, 08 Oct 2007 18:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=195 West Virginia redeemed itself a week after losing to South Florida, and Cincinnati took another step toward entrenching itself in the national consciousness. Overall, though, it wasn’t a banner weekend for the Big East. Meanwhile, in the Big Ten, Ohio State looked like a national title contender, while Wisconsin did not. The conference had a bit of a shakeup this weekend as the Buckeyes and Badgers went in opposite directions, and Northwestern upset Michigan State. College Basketball Mon, 08 Oct 2007 17:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=184 Our Week 5 roundup looks at great performances from Colorado, Auburn and Illinois and disappointing showings from Texas, Rutgers and Washington State along with players of the week and other national notes. College Basketball Tue, 02 Oct 2007 18:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=183 There's still a lot of football to be played, but Michael Bradley says last Friday’s victory against West Virginia officially marked South Florida as a full-fledged BCS school and I-A member. College Basketball Tue, 02 Oct 2007 17:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=182 The ACC needed a weekend like this one. Much maligned for its disappointing record in non-conference games so far this season, the league struck back with a trio of nice victories, including two over ranked opponents. And over in the SEC, Auburn capped off a wild week of college football with a big win at Florida, while LSU jumped to the top of the AP poll following its win against Tulane. Georgia and South Carolina also won conference games this week. College Basketball Tue, 02 Oct 2007 14:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=181 The conference's two marquee programs both fell hard in conference play this week, giving the Big 12 South a completely different makeup as Oklahoma State and Texas A&M both hold a share of first. Meanwhile, top-ranked teams in the Pac-10 avoided the upsets that plagued the rest of the country, but USC and Cal didn't escape easily. Also, Arizona State remained undefeated, while Arizona and UCLA earned conference victories. College Basketball Tue, 02 Oct 2007 13:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=180 South Florida defeated West Virginia in the biggest college football game ever played in Tampa, while Rutgers fell at the hands of Maryland. Louisville, Cincinnati and UConn all avoided upsets with ease. And in the Big Ten, Wisconsin held on for dear life against Michigan State, while Ohio State rolled over Minnesota to give the Big Ten two top-10 teams. Also this week, Indiana and Illinois picked up huge wins while Purdue and Michigan rolled. College Basketball Tue, 02 Oct 2007 12:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=169 Our Week 4 roundup looks at great performances from Syracuse, UCLA and Miami and disappointing showings from Utah, Central Michigan and Louisville along with players of the week and other national notes. College Basketball Mon, 24 Sep 2007 22:35:44 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=168 Kentucky might not yet qualify as one of the SEC's elite teams but it's getting there. Michael Bradley looks at the Wildcats' two-year turnaround under Rich Brooks in this week's Goal Line Stand. College Basketball Mon, 24 Sep 2007 22:34:44 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=167 Virginia sent Georgia Tech reeling while gaining a foothold on the Coastal Division. Also this week, Miami won a big Thursday night game while Wake Forest and Clemson came out ahead in ACC contests. In the SEC, Georgia pulled out an overtime thriller in Tuscaloosa, while LSU held its turf against South Carolina. Also, Florida and Kentucky picked up valuable conference victories. College Basketball Mon, 24 Sep 2007 22:33:44 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=166 Oklahoma State overcame Texas Tech in a shootout in Stillwater, while seven other Big 12 teams recorded wins in their last week before conference play. Meanwhile, huge offensive numbers highlighted the first round of conference games this week in the Pac-10. Four of the five winners rang up 44 to 55 points while four of the five losers scored 27 to 32 points. College Basketball Mon, 24 Sep 2007 21:33:44 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=165 The Big East had another interesting week. Syracuse stunned Louisville. Connecticut routed Pittsburgh. And even though Louisville completed its tumble out of the Top 25, half of the Big East teams appeared in the latest AP poll. Also, if Saturday was proof of anything, it was that every team is entitled to a fresh start come Big Ten conference time. Michigan and Illinois proved that with big wins this weekend. Also, Purdue and Michigan State remained unbeaten. College Basketball Mon, 24 Sep 2007 20:33:44 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=164 Our Week 3 roundup looks at great performances from Florida, Kentucky and Duke and disappointing showings from Iowa, UCLA and Oklahoma State along with players of the week and other national notes. College Basketball Wed, 19 Sep 2007 18:23:44 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=163 There's excitement in Tuscaloosa again. Alabama is 3-0 after last Saturday’s ridiculous 41-38 win over Arkansas, and Michael Bradley says Nick Saban could have Crimson Tide fans in a frenzy sooner than expected. College Basketball Wed, 19 Sep 2007 17:23:44 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=160 In ACC action, Boston College and Virginia recorded conference victories this weekend against Georgia Tech and North Carolina, while Duke ended its 22-game losing streak, and Florida State returned from Colorado unscathed. And over in the SEC, Florida rolled over Tennessee and Vanderbilt handled Ole Miss to claim predicted conference victories, but Alabama and Mississippi State surprised with their wins over Arkansas and Auburn, while Kentucky won a rivalry game. College Basketball Tue, 18 Sep 2007 18:23:44 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=161 In the Big 12, Nebraska fell to USC in the league's marquee game of the week, but Iowa State avenged some of its early struggles with Gene Chizik with a huge victory over instate rival Iowa. Meanwhile, seven Pac-10 teams posted victories this weekend but the biggest stories were the Los Angeles rivals. USC stormed out of Nebraska with a convincing win, while UCLA limped home from Utah after a blowout loss. College Basketball Mon, 17 Sep 2007 18:23:44 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=162 In the Big East, Louisville's national title hopes faded with a loss to in-state rival Kentucky this weekend, while UConn began 3-0 for the first time, Cincinnati continued its hot streak and West Virginia rolled over Maryland. Meanwhile, the Big Ten is the home to the school with the nation’s longest winning streak, but even more noteworthy is that the Big Ten can now claim the fact that one of its schools ended the nation’s longest losing streak as Duke defeated Northwestern. College Basketball Sun, 16 Sep 2007 18:23:44 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=148 Our Week 2 roundup looks at great performances from South Florida, Cincinnati and South Carolina and disappointing showings from Louisville, Iowa State and Notre Dame along with players of the week and other national notes. College Basketball Mon, 10 Sep 2007 10:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=147 Michigan’s pride was mortally wounded after its fourth consecutive loss and an 0-2 start to the 2007 season. That's one reason Michael Bradley says it's time for Lloyd Carr to go. College Basketball Mon, 10 Sep 2007 09:00:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=150 The ACC had a golden opportunity during the weekend to show its critics that its label as a “basketball conference” is incomplete. But ACC teams took the field for four key nonconference games Saturday — and came away with four losses. And over in the SEC, there were no smoke and mirrors. No trickery. This was just complete domination. LSU 48, Virginia Tech 7. And while the Tigers look like the class of the league, South Carolina made a big statement this weekend as well. College Basketball Mon, 10 Sep 2007 08:55:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=149 Even Bob Stoops couldn’t have imagined Sam Bradford would look so good in his first two starts. Bradford carried the Sooners to a 51-13 rout of Miami this week, while Nebraska and Texas A&M held on to close victories. Meanwhile, it was one of the Pac-10’s best collective weekends in recent memory, with seven of the eight teams in action holding up something to boast about. College Basketball Mon, 10 Sep 2007 08:50:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=151 'Twas an odd week in the Big East. Even though the league moved to 14-2 through two weeks, and South Florida and Cincinnati wiped out highly regarded opponents, the national polls reflected only disappointment in the conference. And over in the Big Ten, Ohio State fans can call their team’s 20-2 win over Akron on Saturday anything they like, but above all, it was ugly. With Michigan already struggling, that means this year's Big Ten title is up for grabs. College Basketball Mon, 10 Sep 2007 08:45:00 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=139 Our first national notebook looks at the solid weekends of California, Georgia Tech and Kent State, picks out the players of the week and keeps you up to date on what you may have missed during Week 1 of the college football season. College Basketball Mon, 03 Sep 2007 14:21:44 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=135 One-third of the teams in the ACC entered the 2007 season with a new head coach, and three-fourths of those new coaches celebrated a victory Saturday. And over in the Big East, routs were the order of business last week. Five teams won by 31 points or more in season openers and Pittsburgh and South Florida eased by their opponents. College Basketball Mon, 03 Sep 2007 13:21:44 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=137 Cody Hawkins extended his personal winning streak to 60 games in his Colorado debut Saturday while Kansas State and Oklahoma State fell against a pair of SEC foes. And over in the Big Ten, Appalachian State defeated Michigan at the Big House in what will long be remembered as the greatest upset in college football history, while Indiana honored the late Terry Hoeppner with a rout of Indiana State. College Basketball Mon, 03 Sep 2007 12:31:44 -0600 http://jvc.footballexpertsclub.com/articles.php?art_id=136 On college football’s first weekend, most Pac-10 teams were happy to report they had plenty of horsepower, especially Cal, who recorded a stirring 45-31 victory over Tennessee in the week's marquee matchup.
