Well, a 2-4 record last week was not what I was looking for. I will be the first to tell you that I am upset with my performance last week, and will look to redeem myself this coming Saturday. First, a message from the excuses department. The real key factor to my losing record past saturday was my 0-3 start to the day. I was flabbergasted when I saw the final stats. Boston College, Northwestern, and Cincinnati combined for a whopping 14 turnovers. On top of that, they were -13 in the turnover margin. You can't win games nor cover the spread with this kind of a performance. I felt somewhat better when I saw that ESPN "experts" had similar picks to myself, but then quickly went back to a sigh of despair when I thought about my 0-3 morning. Now back to regularly scheduled programming. Bare with me this weekend, as I will bounce back like I have time and again. Once again, I will be using the lines given by Sportsbook.com. I will post one pick against the spread in each of the "Big Six" conferences, along with a breif analysis. Allow me to use the moniker given to the 2008 USA Olympic Basketball Team, as I will call this "Redemption Weekend." (Lame, I know, but what do you expect from a guy in my position?) Enough with the past, on to the November 1st picks... (1359 words in story) Full Story By bsd987, Section Journals
The Second Annual Tommy West Award will be awarded to the Division 1-A/Football Bowl Subdivision head coach deemed by the Tommy West Award Foundation to have exhibited the worst late-game management over the course of the 2008 regular season. It is named after Tommy West to honor his years of service in giving an extra level of suspense, not towards the outcome of a game, but as to what device he would use to cost his team victory. 2007 winner was Rich Brooks of Kentucky.

As another exciting year approaches of NCAA football, we gear up for it in different ways. Many get excited watching the new College Football Live show, which now airs on a daily basis (M-F) on ESPN. This show is entertaining, stirs up excitement, but is becoming more and more predictable and downright illogical. (774 words in story) Full Story By collegefbfan8898, Section College
It wasn't long ago that the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) was a force to be considered when playing college football. Florida State ruled the east coast, and the other eight programs could do very little to knock the Seminoles from their perch. Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Maryland, Clemson, and NC State all had their "great" days, but the Seminoles were too dominant. (772 words in story) Full Story By Huskerville Hero, Section College

Mention the Boston College Eagles in relation to the college football world, and one thing comes to mind. Sports fans from all around will make reference to the 1984 game against the Miami Hurricanes. You know the story. The Eagles needed a touchdown to win the game. A few seconds left on the clock. Flutie takes the snap, scrambles around, and tosses a very long pass into the end zone. Some guy (Gerard Phelan for you con-college football experts) caught the ball on what would be later labeled a "Hail Mary" pass. The BC Eagles stunned the Miami Hurricanes 47 - 45. Fans, and not just the ones from Chestnut Hill, will mention this game as one of the best finishes of all time. But wait, Boston College has established some college football prominence over the last few years. (529 words in story) Full Story By mfitz, Section College
