Welcome back, oh great and wonderful college football fans. It was rivalry week: a week full of animosity and downright hatred at times resulting in more in-game fighting, more unsportsmanlike penalties, more post-game flag-induced melees at mid-field, and more excuses from the losers.

The 3 games tonight are about to kickoff, and I’ll monitor them through the post. ….. Before we get into the predictions, we finally had a breakthrough week with the FBS straight up …
Welcome back, college football fans, after yet another wild and wooly week of NCAA Division I action. There were a lot a great games and great wins, but I would be remiss if I did not call out Indiana (10-0/1) for hitting double digits wins for the first time in their history by defeating Michigan …
