Week 13: Tulsa at Tulane
Tulane is winless on the road in Conference USA this season and Tulsa is going to be on a mission to erase back-to-back disastrous games. The combination doesn't bode well for the Green Wave.
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.
Week 12: Tulsa at Houston
With a BCS Bowl out of the picture, Tulsa will focus on an unbeaten C-USA season and a berth in the Liberty Bowl. Several formidable tests stand between the Golden Hurricane and an early January trip to Memphis, starting with the Cougars.
Week 10 National Notebook
Texas Tech pulled out a thrilling victory over hated rival Texas this week while Florida and Syracuse won big games as well. Mitch Light looks at these teams and more in the Week 10 version of his national notebook.
Week 10: Tulsa at Arkansas
A lot of intrigue here. The headliner is the return to Fayetteville of Tulsa offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, who left Arkansas after one controversial season two years ago. What makes this matchup even more intriguing is that the Golden Hurricane have dropped 17 straight games to BCS programs by an average of 29 points.
Goal Line Stand: Texas Tech is a different team
The Raiders have won at least eight games six years straight (seven if you count ’08) and have hit the nine-win mark three times. Yep, they’ve been getting it done down on the South Plains. But not like this. Tech is 8-0 and dreaming of big things.
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.
Week 9: UCF at Tulsa
While East Carolina was the league's early-season success story with victories over BCS programs Virginia Tech and West Virginia, Tulsa has steamrolled its opposition to move into lofty status of its own. The Golden Hurricane is ranked 22nd, their first national ranking in 17 years.
Goal Line Stand: Bucks are back from the dead
When we last paid any kind of serious attention to Ohio State, the Buckeyes were getting savaged on the national stage by USC. Yep, Ohio State was dead. That all changed Saturday, when Ohio State ripped Michigan State and filled the nation’s fans with some dread: OSU wasn’t dead.
Week 8 National Notebook
Texas left no doubt who should be the nation's No. 1 team with a big win over Missouri while Ohio State and Arizona also won big games this week. Mitch Light takes a look around college football in his Week 8 national notebook.
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: UTEP at Tulsa
In a matchup of league unbeatens, a resurgent UTEP squad, led by quarterback Trevor Vittatoe, will attempt to corral a Tulsa team on the brink of a national ranking and take the C-USA West Division lead.
Week 7: Tulsa at SMU
Here's a game that could get ugly in a hurry. Tulsa leads the nation in scoring and many other categories. SMU, on the other side of the ball, is among the nation's worst.
Under The Radar: Week 6
The upsets continue as Pitt took down South Florida Thursday night. Are there any other teams that need to be on upset alert? Penn State travels to Purdue, Texas heads to Boulder and the 5-0 UConn Huskies are on Tobacco Road this weekend.
Week 6: Rice at Tulsa
Here's the early season marquee matchup in Conference USA, a game with the potential to short-circuit the scoreboard at newly renovated H.A. Champman Stadium.
Week 5 National Notebook
In an upset-filled weekend, Oregon State, Ole Miss and Alabama receive special recognition in Mitch Light's Week 5 national notebook.
Under The Radar: Week 5
Oregon State has thrown the first wrench into the BCS landscape with their 27-21 victory over USC last night. The Horned Frogs of TCU will try their best to do the same Saturday against the Sooners.
Week 5: Central Arkansas at Tulsa
Given the strong start by Tulsa and its quarterback, David Johnson, one wouldn't expect Football Championship Subdivision member Central Arkansas to offer much opposition. But Central Arkansas is off to a 4-0 start for the first time in four years and ranked 15th in the FCS Coaches Poll.
