Week 14 National Notebook
Georgia Tech beat its in-state rival for the first time since 2000 while Kansas won the Border War and Boston College secured a spot in the ACC title game. Mitch Light looks at Week 14 of the college football landscape in his National Notebook.
SEC: Alabama, Florida take care of business
Let the hype begin. Following Saturday’s action, Florida and Alabama are ready for an important meeting in the Georgia Dome to decide the SEC champion.
Week 14: South Carolina at Clemson
No doubt about it, Clemson’s season has been disappointing. But this game will decide whether the disappointing season will continue. The Tigers need a victory to become bowl eligible, but South Carolina is seeking eight regular-season wins for the first time since 2001 and would love to play spoiler against its in-state rival.
SEC: Ole Miss drops LSU, continues climb
When Houston Nutt was hired at Ole Miss, the rest of the SEC West figured it was only a matter of time before the Rebels became a contender. Saturday’s 31-13 win over LSU in Baton Rouge certainly served notice that that time might come sooner than expected.
Week 12 National Notebook
Vanderbilt became eligible for its first bowl since 1982 and Baylor knocked off Texas A&M for the second time in five years. Mitch Light looks at these teams and more in his Week 12 National Notebook.
SEC: Gators blowing out opponents
With their 56-6 win over South Carolina, Florida has made another statement to the rest of college football. Although the Gators have a loss and sit below Alabama and Texas Tech in the BCS, the argument can be made that they are playing the best football in the country.
Game Day, Part II
This afternoon, Steve Spurrier suffered the worst loss of his career during his 75th game as a head coach in The Swamp, while Oregon State kept its Rose Bowl hopes alive.
Week 12: South Carolina at Florida
The Gators have their sights set on a second national championship in three seasons but South Carolina won’t be a pushover. The last time the Gamecocks visited Gainesville, the Gators needed a late field goal block to escape with the victory.
Goal Line Stand: Hiring right coach is tricky
These days, the cycle of looking for a new coach doesn’t begin in late November but in October. That extra time is valuable for athletic directors like Washington's Scott Woodward, who know full well that their own jobs often hinge on who they hire.
SEC: Tide need OT for victory in Saban bowl
Nick Saban’s return to Baton Rouge was successful, as Alabama clinched the SEC West and kept its national title hopes alive with a 27-21 win against LSU in overtime.
Week 11: Arkansas at South Carolina
With both teams out of the mix to win their respective divisions in the SEC, this game is all about bowl positioning.
SEC: Florida impresses in blowout of Georgia
Not only did Florida achieve revenge for its loss to Georgia last season, it officially put the rest of college football on notice with their 49-10 destruction of a top-10 team.
Week 10: Tennessee at South Carolina
With a 3-5 record and losses against rivals Florida, Georgia and Alabama, the pressure is building on Tennessee coach Phil Fulmer. The Volunteers are in desperate need of a SEC road win but it won’t be easy against a tough South Carolina team.
SEC: Florida, Georgia take care of business
The stakes in the World’s Largest Outdoor Party have been raised another notch. Florida and Georgia each handled their opposition in Week 9 which sets up a huge match-up this Saturday.
Under The Radar: Week 9
The Big 12, Big Ten and SEC all have marquee match-ups this weekend. But the battle for Pac-10 supremacy will also take place in Tuscan, Arizona. Mike Stoops and Co. are set to take on the USC Trojans late Saturday night.
SEC: Tigers' comback keeps title hopes alive
After trailing 17-10 at halftime, LSU put together two second-half touchdowns for a 24-17 win against South Carolina — a victory that saved its national title hopes and set up a huge showdown with Georgia in Week 9.
Under The Radar: Week 8
The Big 12 continues to be the conference to watch on Saturday's with marquee match-ups in Austin, Texas and Norman, Okla. However, there are a few other games to watch this weekend that aren't necessarily getting the national hype.
Week 8: LSU at South Carolina
LSU will be looking to avoid back-to-back losses for the first time since 2002, in what should be a tough road trip to Columbia. South Carolina is coming off back-to-back SEC victories over Ole Miss and Kentucky, which has given this team some momentum.
