Here are the ten best current coaches presented in an inarguable top ten list:

Just before Signing Day, we talked here about the Recruiting Rankings analysis that SMQ performed and he concluded how accurately Rivals was predicting winning percentages.
“Rivals was very, very good at picking the top teams – of the top 25 winningest teams of the last six years, all were either pegged in or very near their […]

So says Brennan Carroll, athletic fashion maven, mentor of walk ons, and true innovator in the realm of golf visor application.

I can’t wait to get my […]

USC coach Pete Carroll says Oregon’s offense is “the best offense we’ve seen probably since we’ve been here.” Really, Pete? How soon we forget. But Oregon’s offense is outstanding.
Oregon ran the spread with current LSU offensive coordinator Gary Crowton last year, but it was pass heavy. New OC Chip Kelly has a poster of Rich […]

In the Greatest game of all time (that week), the Greatest team in college football history (USC) went up against the Greatest player in college football history (Vince Young) and the Greatest player won in dramatic fashion.
I’m a firm believer that without Vince, that would have been a terribly humiliating loss for Texas (pre-supposing that […]

It’s never too early to handicap the Heisman race so here’s the latest results from the Rocky Mountain News poll. The paper has the longest running weekly Heisman poll.
Florida QB Tim Tebow 35 points
Ron Powlus predicts Tebow will win at least two Heismans.
Arkansas RB Darren McFadden 27 points
Houston Nutt will bring a woman […]

Got these images from the excellent USC Trojan Football Analysis.
Central Florida killed us with a similar play in the third quarter. Replace Ray Maualuga with Rashad Bobino and Keith Rivers with Robert Killibrew.

Now Rivers is a Will and Killibrew a Sam, but their allignment is pretty much the same in both plays.

At the snap […]
