There can only be one, and the Highlanders of the New Jersey Institute of Technology got theirs—their one win in 52 games, breaking a NCAA-record losing streak. Do you believe in miracles? More »

Tommy Bowden and Clemson roll into lovely Winston-Salem to try and stave off yet another mediocre season. Clemson is 3-2 and coming off a 17-14 loss to Maryland. Now they're 2.5 point underdogs to Wake Forest. Watch this game to see if this is finally, at long last, the game that ends Tommy Bowden's tenure at Clemson. A tenure that has seemed to be in danger since at least 2000. And why wouldn't it? In 9 years at Clemson Bowden has never won more than 9 games, has never won the ACC, and he's just 3-5 in bowl games. This was supposed to be Clemson's year, you know, prior to Alabama's beatdown in the season opener. Instead the Tigers are on the precipice of .500 halfway through the season. As if that weren't enough, Bowden is just 69-42 overall as head coach at Clemson. Mediocrity thy name is Clemson. More »

Chris Fowler summed up the second week of college football when he said on ESPN Gameday: "The fans deserve a better slate of games than these." He was right. Several of the games turned out to be exciting but there was nothing particularly gripping about a roster that only featured seven games, seven, where the point spread was fewer than seven points.

Here are 11 things that jumped out at me from Saturday's games. More »

We're rolling through the top 25 of the coaches poll. Today we've got Wake Forest and, shortly, Penn State. The Wake Forest fan base should be extremely proud of the alacrity with which they responded when it was announced that no one had volunteered to preview them. No doubt this was motivated by protecting quarterback Riley Skinner's below the belt side. Golf clap. Your author of the Wake Forest preview, Deadspin commenter KazMatsuisAnalFissure. Enjoy. More »

Tonight's Orange Bowl game between the Louisville Cardinals and the Wake Forest Demon Deacons starts at 8 p.m., so consider this the post to keep comments lit up . Or I could just put up another Darrent Williams post and let people scream and yell all over that as they did last night. Considering last night's game, however, it's kind of understandable. I think I could've had a post showing a photo of a small child being torn apart by a pack of cheetahs in front of his parents and people still would've chimed in to comment about that Fiesta Bowl.
