The game features Arizona State versus Boise State. I find this game compelling to watch what might be the best collegiate quarterback ever, Kellen Moore. This year has been about Andrew Luck and Archie Griffin III. That is fine, but when that draft sweepstakes becomes a bust, someone will end up what I think will be the steal of the draft. Kellen has delivered... dantes_pain@yahoo.com (dantes_pain) NFL 2011-12-22T14:58:23-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/college/14715 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/college/14715 Finally the BCS Championship game is upon us Thursday night. The point spread is Alabama -4 vs. Texas. Should be a good game between two great teams so let’s take a closer look and figure out the best bet for our free pick. According to the Sagarin rankings, Alabama ended the year with the nation's 12th-toughest schedule. Texas was 49th. If not for that final second being put back on the clock,...

The Hurricanes have come back to earth after some big early season wins, but they're still pretty good and will likely lay the wood at home to a bad Virginia team. Give the points. Speaknig of bad, Syracuse is horrible and... TLFpublishing@gmail.com (Todd L.

Both QB's look fairly flat, not sure how much of an impact the weather actually is. josephrosensweet@comcast.net (joeyr) NFL 2009-09-26T21:41:45-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/college/14309 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/college/14309 It has just been reported that Jacksonville State Gamecock quarterback Ryan Perrilloux has been suspended for the team’s 2009 season opener against Georgia Tech. Wow…..not again. One would automatically think that when Perrilloux transferred to Jacksonville State after all of the disciplinary issues that he has had while at LSU would cease. After all, he has all of the talent in the world,... pgf13@hotmail.com (Spawn) NFL 2009-08-22T11:54:48-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/college/13369 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/college/13369 Sources inside the Auburn University athletic department have confirmed that head football coach Tommy Tuberville has been bought out of his contract, one that was extended to seven years last offseason. Auburn gave Tuberville seven extra years because he and Arkansas were reportedly interested in each other after last season. Tuberville signed a contract extension before the 2005 season... rudyhoops4@yahoo.com (Bart Doan) NFL 2008-12-03T21:45:00-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/college/13298 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/college/13298 Common football theory suggests that the team that wins the turnover battle will win the game. With ACC front-runners Maryland and Miami having negative turnover margins this season, perhaps some adjustments need to be made to the hypothesis. It doesn’t do a team any good to force turnovers unless it's capitalizing with points. Wake Forest, North Carolina and Virginia Tech lead the ACC in... lhroberts@gmail.com (Lee Roberts) NFL 2008-11-20T05:18:33-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/college/13257 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/college/13257 When Daniel Murray’s 31-yard field goal split the uprights last Saturday, it not only gave the Iowa Hawkeyes an improbable 24-23 upset of No. 3 Penn State but also ended the Big Ten’s hopes of placing one of its teams in the BCS national championship game for a third straight season. At this point, it would take a miracle (and a series of epic collapses from Lubbock to Tuscaloosa to Gainesville)... chrispreston@shelburnenews.com (Chris Preston) NFL 2008-11-14T05:30:46-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/college/13252 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/college/13252 The North Carolina State Wolfpack will not win the ACC and will not finish the season with a plus-.500 record. However, behind freshman QB Russell Wilson, this team is improving and has three opportunities left to spoil other clubs’ chances for an ACC championship. Commentary: N.C.

However, with a win over Wake Forest already, Maryland controls its own destiny in the enigmatic ACC title race. Commentary: Maryland’s season is a microcosm for the entire ACC.

These schools are no strangers to seeing each other in these types of games, going back to their days in the Big East.

The Wolverines came away with a 29-6 throttling of once-ranked Minnesota and snarled after the game about the lack of respect they felt the Gophers had for them.... rudyhoops4@yahoo.com (Bart Doan) NFL 2008-11-10T05:04:15-05:00 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/kansasstate/13188 http://www.realfootball365.com/articles/kansasstate/13188 Ron Prince’s head coaching tenure ended abruptly. Less than three years ago, Kansas State announced the Junction City (located under 20 miles from Manhattan) native as its replacement for Bill Snyder.

This year, as a junior, Wake Forest’s season has been a bit of a roller coaster, much like Skinner’s. When Skinner plays well, the Demon Deacons win. When he doesn’t, they lose.
