Hail Mary Play Works Right Up Until The Runner Goes Out Of Bounds
Abilene Christian is in its first year playing NCAA Division I football, and as an FCS independent the Wildcats are feeding from the bottom of the bottom of the "big time" college football food chain.

Duke Wins At No. 14 Virginia Tech, May Not Totally Suck This Year
Blue Devils football, heretofore a model of futility, managed to roll into Blacksburg, Va., today and slip past a Virginia Team that was favored by almost two touchdowns. The 13-10 win made Duke bowl-eligible for a second straight year — a feat for a team that has played only nine bowl games, none o...
Florida State's 1st Quarter Against NC State Needed A Mercy Rule

College Football Referee Stops Game To Tell Band To Shut Up
Middle Tennessee State scored on the final play to win a 51-49 shootout last night against Marshall. But the game's best highlight came in the second quarter, when the ref took a moment to threaten the MTSU band with a noise violation. Stupid rules....

Each week, Football Outsiders recognizes the most outstanding college linemen, defenders and other darkhorses from the previous weekend who are habitually overlooked in the hype for that other award (whatever it's called). These are the Lowsmen....
How Miami Got Away With It: 125 FBS Teams, Ranked
Each week during college football season we put the conventional polls to shame by ranking every FBS team from 1-125, by whatever standard we see fit. As always, last week's rankings were not consulted....
Jackson State To Sue Grambling For Boycotting Its Homecoming Game
The Grambling football players' decision not to travel for Saturday's game left its opponent in a lurch. It was homecoming for Jackson State, which earned a forfeit win but suddenly had less than 24 hours to come up with some alternative programming for all those returning alumni. Jackson State ende...
Giant Pigeon Spies On Oregon Football Practice
Oregon's athletic video department says its "new pigeon friend" was simply an ordinary pigeon that parked itself in front of a remote camera high above Autzen Stadium. But we know the truth. We know no one in Eugene is willing to say anything that might anger their new pigeon overlords....
This Is What It Looks Like When The NCAA Loses
The NCAA's long, dirty investigation of Miami's booster scandal has puttered to an end without any further postseason ban.

Grambling Football Team Ends Boycott; Situation Still A Mess [Updated]
The Grambling football team's boycott in protest of shitty work conditions is now over. But that's not to say all is well.

Oregon Fan Really, Really Didn't Like The Ducks Wearing Pink
I thought it was a pretty cool look, if maybe somewhat overplayed. But when Oregon suited up with pink helmets, gloves, socks, and shoes, one fan felt he had to call GoDucks.com editor Rob Moseley and leave a voicemail with his complaints:...
Oregon Coach Sorry For Calling Out Mike Leach's "Low-Class Bullshit"
Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday set the FBS record for most pass attempts in a game on Saturday in a blowout loss to Oregon. He did it despite the game being all but over, and Ducks defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti was pissed at WSU coach Mike Leach for making it happen. "Total bullsh...
Why The BCS Mattered
Sunday night, the first edition of the Bowl Championship Series standings was released for the last time, to the usual fanfare and to at least one bewildered case of Stockholm Syndrome. Is it really possible, after years of railing against the incompetence, inconsistency, and tortured existence of ...
The BCS Standings Are Out
Despite Oregon being No. 2 in both the Harris and Coaches Polls (and the AP poll), the computers give the slimmest of edges to Florida State. That puts the Seminoles in pole position for the BCS Championship, but winning out probably won't be enough....
Check Out Oregon's Pink Uniform Schemes
The Oregon Ducks steamrolled Washington State 62-38 Saturday night, and they looked aesthetically pleasing doing it, donning pink accessories for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It must be fun to play on a program with an infinite uniform budget. Even coach Mark Helfrich wore a pink polo....
Auburn Upsets Texas A&M In College Station
Despite what looked like a fairly painful shoulder injury, Johnny Manziel did return to the game and was effective almost immediately. He came back in and lead a 12-play 75 yard scoring drive, capped off by a one-yard rushing touchdown. And then whatever they likely shot him up with started to wear...
