2010 marks a significant season for the Mountain West Conference's hopes to gain automatic qualification to the Bowl Championship Series. The BCS has published a minimum standard for a conference to obtain AQ status, and there are other criteria that are not published as well. However, without first passing the test of "published" criteria, there is little doubt that a conference will ever get put to the test for the other standards. ]]>Thu, 18 Mar 2010 23:58:00http://t.love.com/310517895Thu, 18 Mar 2010 22:28:00http://t.love.com/310511041Thu, 18 Mar 2010 21:52:00http://t.love.com/310484330Thu, 18 Mar 2010 19:44:00http://t.love.com/310376757Thu, 18 Mar 2010 14:13:00http://t.love.com/310348689Thu, 18 Mar 2010 12:48:00http://t.love.com/310261960Thu, 18 Mar 2010 9:05:00http://t.love.com/310186058Thu, 18 Mar 2010 4:53:00http://t.love.com/310162249Thu, 18 Mar 2010 3:08:00http://t.love.com/310152333
For a conference that supposedly doesn't deserve to be among the BCS leagues, at least in the minds of many fans, has sure been close to getting its chance to play for the whole ball of wax. Want to get the debate started about the BCS and the Big East's place in it? The Big East was three plays away from having three being in three of the last four BCS Championships, and to really bend your noodle, the league probably would've won at least one of the three, probably two. ]]>Thu, 18 Mar 2010 2:26:00http://t.love.com/310140473Thu, 18 Mar 2010 1:22:00http://t.love.com/310130797Thu, 18 Mar 2010 0:35:00http://t.love.com/310122148Wed, 17 Mar 2010 23:56:00http://t.love.com/310049370
The Tulane Green Wave's 2010 football schedule includes dates against seven bowl teams from the 2009 campaign, seven home contests at the Louisiana Superdome and dates with Southeastern Conference and Big East opponents, as the schedule was announced today by TU Director of Athletics Rick Dickson. "We're pleased to announce the 2010 schedule that includes seven home games for our Green Wave fans," Tulane Director of Athletics Rick Dickson said. "We are also pleased with the starting of another Northeast]]>Wed, 17 Mar 2010 18:10:00http://t.love.com/310015032
Ever since Utah kicked down the door to college football's VIP room six years ago, the non-automatic qualifiers (né mid-majors) have been steadily building toward the ultimate playing-field leveler: a spot in the national title game. Boise State staged a legendary upset over Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. Utah topped former No. 1 Alabama in the 2009 Sugar Bowl. Last season, two non-AQ teams lifted the velvet ropes, as Boise met TCU in the Fiesta. ]]>Wed, 17 Mar 2010 16:23:00http://t.love.com/309984376
The players were twin brothers named Robert and Harry Beaube who played at Emma Samsom in Gadsden, Al. They had led their team to a state championship. Now $500 doesn't sound like very much money in today's dollars, but in 1955, $500 would be worth $4,043 in today's dollars, so this was a serious accusation. One week later, Auburn was fined $2000 ($16,175 in 2010 dollars) by then SEC commissioner Bernie Moore in what amounted to a slap on the wrist. ]]>Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:45:00http://t.love.com/309974286
The Bruins made great strides during the offseason in bolstering talent on both sides of the ball. However, UCLA faces a series of tests this upcoming year that will dictate whether they deserve to be mentioned in the conversation of 2010 Rose Bowl contenders. In order for UCLA to win the Pac 10 conference, it will need to avoid injuries and subpar performances from its quarterbacks, demand a more cohesive performance from its offensive line, and not give up big plays on defense and special teams. ]]>Wed, 17 Mar 2010 14:14:00http://t.love.com/309970046Wed, 17 Mar 2010 13:59:00http://t.love.com/309936921Wed, 17 Mar 2010 12:29:00http://t.love.com/309911253Wed, 17 Mar 2010 11:25:00http://t.love.com/309869828Wed, 17 Mar 2010 9:23:00http://t.love.com/309817070Wed, 17 Mar 2010 6:35:00http://t.love.com/309773942
The hot topic surrounding the Big 12 isn't about how Texas and Oklahoma are going to reload, the hiring of Tommy Tuberville at Texas Tech and Turner Gill at Kansas, or the expected reemergence of Nebraska as a superpower once again. No, it's all about the league's survival in its current form. The Big 12 was the big story of 2008 with offensive showcase after offensive showcase, and 2009, while it was a down season by comparison, was still entertaining with Texas able to get into the BCS Championship ga]]>Wed, 17 Mar 2010 3:55:00http://t.love.com/309768860Wed, 17 Mar 2010 3:36:00http://t.love.com/309742132Wed, 17 Mar 2010 1:26:00http://t.love.com/309740906Wed, 17 Mar 2010 1:24:00http://t.love.com/309697102Tue, 16 Mar 2010 21:13:00http://t.love.com/309689092
In a recent interview with a local television station in West Virginia, West Virginia coach Bill Stewart discussed the end of the Big East conference. He envisioned a Big Ten expansion killing the Big East conference and leading ultimately to an end of Big East football. Coach Stewart appeared unworried about the proposed changes and speculated that West Virginia would move to the ACC, Big Ten, or SEC. ]]>Tue, 16 Mar 2010 20:37:00http://t.love.com/309394571
Of all the wild and wacky BCS arguments over the years, the 2001 kerfuffle created the most philosophical debate. Nebraska had moved its way to No. 1 after beating defending national champion Oklahoma, and it was rolling with an 11-0 record and seemingly on its way to the Rose Bowl and the national championship game. And then came a wild Friday afternoon road trip to Colorado. ]]>Tue, 16 Mar 2010 5:10:00http://t.love.com/309371637Tue, 16 Mar 2010 3:29:00http://t.love.com/309363253Tue, 16 Mar 2010 2:46:00http://t.love.com/309340371Tue, 16 Mar 2010 0:56:00http://t.love.com/309322387
The BCS has been an argument that has been heated year in and year out. There seems to be a disagreement on which teams should be in the national championship game and which teams shouldn't even get a shot at a BCS game, period. Well, you're in luck BCS, because March Madness is about to show you how things are done and done right. ]]>Mon, 15 Mar 2010 23:15:00http://t.love.com/309275362Mon, 15 Mar 2010 19:08:08http://t.love.com/309210562Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:41:48http://t.love.com/309159374Mon, 15 Mar 2010 13:47:00http://t.love.com/309120777
Those who toll on such things point to the muddying meaning of superlatives as an example foretelling the death of the English language. Good, Better, Best has evolved into Cool, Primo, and Shiznit just to name a few, and all can mean the same thing. Influenced by the modern age of marketing, the language we utilize to convey degrees of quality have become interchangeable and diluted. ]]>Mon, 15 Mar 2010 10:14:00http://t.love.com/309054325
This had all the elements of a classic college football brouhaha. The game was phenomenal, it took a few special, quirky things to happen just to give Oregon a shot at the win, it took a defensive meltdown from Oklahoma, and it took a really, really bad miss from replay official, Gordon Riese. Down 33-20 with just over three minutes to play, Oregon got a 16-yard touchdown run from Dennis Dixon and went for the onside kick. ]]>Mon, 15 Mar 2010 6:39:00http://t.love.com/309035143Mon, 15 Mar 2010 5:19:00http://t.love.com/308955913
