Bethune-Cookman Wins Florida Classic With Gutsy Two-Point Conversion
Bethune-Cookman has been playing Florida A & M for nearly a century, and has come out on the wrong end of the scoreline far more often than they've won what's now known as the Florida Classic. (The worst? A 97-0 beatdown in 1960.) Things weren't looking too hot for them today, either, as the Rattler...

The Horned Frogs are making their case for a spot in the playoff. A week after an offensive explosion, No. 6 TCU kept its foot on the gas, routing No. 7 Kansas State 41-20. The Wildcats were undefeated in the Big 12, and actually ahead of TCU, entering today's game. This adds to the shakeup of the t...

Northwestern Reaches New Low, Falls Down On Last Play, Loses
We told you earlier that Northwestern and Michigan were playing a hilariously bad contest today. Even with some points, the second half topped the atrocious first.

Northwestern And Michigan Are Playing One Of The Worst Games Ever
Last year, Northwestern, donned in jerseys that looked like tattered flags, and Michigan battled to a 9-9 tie through four quarters. They've played only two so far today, but the game has managed to be much worse than last year's snore-fest....

Matt Jones, host of Kentucky's highest-rated radio program and co-founder of the scrappily independent Kentucky Sports Radio blog, describes himself as a "somewhat liberal, mountain, Eastern Kentuckian white guy."
