#26 Auburn Tigers: College Football 77 in 77

By

What did we just learn from Joe Paterno? Erecting a statue for someone while they're still alive and their legacy is not yet fully formed is risky business. And sometimes backfires. There's already a Cam Newton statue at Auburn. Again, something scandalous could arise, especially given Newton's past history. The Bo Jackson statue I'm cool with; his career is long over. As … [Read more...] about #26 Auburn Tigers: College Football 77 in 77

#29 Missouri Tigers: College Football 77 in 77

By

"Interesting move Cotton, let's see if it pays off for them," the words of Jason Bateman's character in "Dodgeball" and my thoughts on Mizzou jumping ship for the SEC. I understand why they did, but a team that hasn't had a conference championship since 1969 (when it was the Big 8 conference) won't be getting another one for a long time probably. But they'll still be a good … [Read more...] about #29 Missouri Tigers: College Football 77 in 77

#55 Vanderbilt Commodores: College Football 77 in 77

By

Last year's weakest link of Vanderbilt football was the passing game, as they ranked 97th in the nation in that department. That stat is a bit misleading though, as the air attack, and the offense itself took a major turn for the better when Jordan Rodgers replaced Larry Smith in mid-season. Rodgers is of course, the younger brother of Green Bay Packers signal caller and NFL … [Read more...] about #55 Vanderbilt Commodores: College Football 77 in 77

#3 Oregon Ducks vs. #4 LSU Tigers: Brutally Honest Game Preview

By

The Oregon Ducks open up against the LSU Tigers at Cowboys Stadium Saturday night at 7pm CT. Talk about starting fast out of the gate! Two top 5 teams with national title aspirations, and one will go home with those championship hopes severely impaired. Forget warm-up cream puff scheduling in the non-conference. Let's get right to it! I'm adding a new wrinkle to the brutally … [Read more...] about #3 Oregon Ducks vs. #4 LSU Tigers: Brutally Honest Game Preview

#6 LSU Tigers: College Football 77 in 77

By

Have you been following the news lately? The LSU Tigers could be facing a Category 2 storm of off-the-field issues. If they're lucky, their problems could be downgraded to a Tropical Storm by conference season. LSU football players should have learned- what good can come from hanging out at a bar named Shady's? I bet even Marshall Mathers would agree with me. You can't spell … [Read more...] about #6 LSU Tigers: College Football 77 in 77

#11 Arkansas Razorbacks: College Football 77 in 77

By

The Arkansas Razorbacks suffered a big blow when they lost running back Knile Davis to a season-ending ankle injury, but it didn't seem to affect them too much in the polls. Arkansas is ranked #15 in the AP preseason poll, which was released two weeks before season opening Saturday. It was released more than a week after Davis went down and two weeks after Arkansas grabbed … [Read more...] about #11 Arkansas Razorbacks: College Football 77 in 77
