Well, it looked like Western Kentucky might finally win their first game as a full-fledged 1-A program, but it was not to be. With a chance to send their embattled coach on his way with a W, the Hilltoppers led the Red Wolves 17-3 at halftime, but Arkansas State came back and won the thing [...] 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 [...] First off, happy Veterans Day! The internet is full of cool content to commemorate it, but sadly, I’ve got nothing that could do a worthy job. So I’ll just press on with mid-major football over here in my corner. Last night, Ohio kept it’s MAC Championship hopes alive, by evading Buffalo with a late field goal. [...] Been quiet here on the fringe- too quiet. I unintentionally gave myself a three day blogging/twittering exile- but the last thing you care about is excuses… we’re back to work on the mid-season reviews for the schools that finished game 6 this week. I don’t know if we’ll get them all done before they play [...] Saturday was an eventful day around the non-BCS universe. I’m not seeing a lot of big upsets though- teams seemed to fall in line with expectations. Houston beat Tulane, despite only being ahead 9 to 6 at the half, TCU won big and BYU won by 10, Troy beat FIU to stay unbeaten in the [...] We’ve seen four straight nights of football, and the two most rewarding finishes came in the non-BCS matchups on Tuesday and Wednesday. Granted, the Sun Belt game was a little rough, but the 4th quarter was more compelling than either of the Big East games this week. We made it through 24 mid-season report cards this [...] We didn’t have a fringe game last night, but Cincinnati put on a nice show, bludgeoning South Florida, using their backup QB for much of the game. And we’re stuck with a far less interesting Big East game tonight too. Here on the Fringe, we’ll hopefully be finishing the first week’s worth of midseason report [...] The Vegas prognosticators like Boise State by more than a touchdown, but I suspect it will be closer than that. My guess is that Tulsa will keep close all night long, but Boise should probably win this one with both teams scoring in the 20s. Why yes, that is what I wrote yesterday shortly before kickoff.
