The University of Missouri has publicly stated it's intentions of joining up with the SEC. And in many ways (adding the St. Louis and Kansas City television markets, developing natural rivalries or "border wars" with the state institutions of Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee) the Missouri Tigers are a good for the SEC. But are they going to get enough SEC presidents to vote … [Read more...] about Mizzou Inevitably Joining SEC? Missouri Official Denies NY Times Report

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

#6 LSU Tigers: College Football 77 in 77
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
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.

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
#14 Georgia Bulldogs: College Football 77 in 77
Why am I so high on a team that had a losing season last fall and lost their best players on both sides of the ball? Well, the Georgia Bulldogs have a lot more going for them in 2011 than they did last year. A.J. Green and Justin Houston are indeed gone, but they have a blue chip recruiting class coming in, stud transfers becoming eligible, and another year in the system at key … [Read more...] about #14 Georgia Bulldogs: College Football 77 in 77
#15 Florida Gators: College Football 77 in 77
I have to admit I'm probably rating the Florida Gators this high simply because they're the Gators, and in the SEC. And I really can't go against the SEC too often can I? UF ALWAYS has loads of talent in numerous recruiting classes at every position. Or at least enough to compensate for all the question marks the team is facing this year. They have to replace 7 starters on … [Read more...] about #15 Florida Gators: College Football 77 in 77
Illini Derail Hoosiers, Continue to Enhance NCAA Profile
Truthfully, if I again hear the words "enhance NCAA profile" or "NCAA profile needs enhancing" like there's some sort of a erectile dysfunction drug to fix it, I'll probably punch all the Viagra in the world. It's getting out of hand people. Seriously. But we've had to examine the profile of the Illinois Fighting Illini a lot these past couple of seasons. There's been a lot … [Read more...] about Illini Derail Hoosiers, Continue to Enhance NCAA Profile
