The MAC had an eventful weekend, although it actually all ended by Friday. We knew Central Michigan was on to the conference final, but Ohio has joined them by ending Temple’s impressive win streak at 9 and taking the East division. The rest of the league did wrap up play last week as well, with [...] Here’s our final projection before bowl bids start pouring in. As always, all I have to work with is public information- I have no info on backroom dealings or unofficial alternate arrangements. And as before, I’m making guesses as to the reps from the big leagues, but those are harder since I don’t know as [...] So that’s it then. November is gone, and so is the bulk of the college football regular season. There is only one team in America who’s bowl eligibility has not been finalized one way or another (Hawaii), so now our attention will turn to championship games and bowl placements. We might start hearing some bowl [...] For most of America’s 1-A college football teams, the regular season has come to a close. The conferences with no championship game have a few games here and there over the next few weeks, and four non-BCS teams have appointments with championship games next week. Here are some of the highlights from yesterday’s action: Troy and [...] In case you were being dragged around the malls into the afternoon, we had two more titles handed out over the last 24 hours or so, and the BCS picture isn’t getting any better for Boise State. Here’s what we know, and what we think: Ohio 35, Temple 17- Ohio is you MAC East Champion and [...] I haven’t made this weekly, since things haven’t changed that fast in the conference landscapes, but now I think we’re ready to have another look. Bowls are listed in the approximate order of selection again, but in some conferences this is not a specific pick. I’m also making guesses as to the reps from the [...] Our very compressed week continues on the Fringe today, where I’ll update the coaching watch and have a brand new bowl projections, with some new and corrected information from last time I tried it. Then tomorrow, the Pub column will run and I’ll have potentially abbreviated weekend previews for you. After that, the action moves [...] Both of our Western conferences were shuffling around, primarily waiting for a big week 13 slate. The WAC did see a near upset and one overtime game, while in the MWC, New Mexico escaped from a winless season before they head over to Fort Worth for this weekend’s finale. Also, TCU has locked up the [...] Our last wrapup stop in the east before swinging west, and Conference USA is the least-decided league so far. Four teams are still alive in the title chase, although the SMU Mustangs chances are greatly diminished compared to the other three. Houston only needs to beat Rice, while the winner of ECU vs. Southern Miss [...] The Sun Belt weekend played out about like we probably would have expected, with the good teams winning and the bad teams losing. We did see a mild upset as Louisiana Lafayette knocked off their state rivals from Monroe in a close one. Troy has clinched the conference championship, stampeding through the league at 7-0 [...] |
