College football randawesomeness packed into 120 seconds or less (reading levels not checked); getting you up to speed on the weekend ahead and dropping you off on a gravel road three miles outside of town.
FALSE START ON EVERYONE
Thirty undefeated teams remain in the FBS -- nine of which come from the Big-12 -- and chances are that not many of them will last much longer. Squads such as Mississippi State, Arizona, ... Read More

Major League Baseball is often thought of as a game meant for children but played -- and messed up -- by grown men.
The slow pace of a game of professional baseball is not for everyone and the lengthy season can be difficult to follow. Add in an All-Star game that decides home-field advantage for the World Series; a replay system that is inferior to that of the Little League World Series, and you have the formula for a sport that is ...

If the Big Ten was hoping 2012 would be the year they would interfere with the SEC's national championship run, consider the only remaining undefeated candidates from the conference: Northwestern, Minnesota, and Ohio State.
The Buckeyes, of course, aren't even eligible for postseason play. And how fitting for the way this year has started for the B1G as Ohio State appears to be the best of the bunch -- and that's not saying much. ... Read More

Whoever decided that gambling on college football was a bad idea might be onto something.
Just when you think you've figured out a team they go and change on you. Teams that looked to have turned a corner fell flat on their face and others who looked dead in the water suddenly were resurrected. To make matters worse, a few games had a combination of both.
Maybe it's due to a lack of team chemistry or ... Read More

THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE, EXCEPT WHEN THEY DO
If you remember last week's edition of TMD, you may recall the section on Nebraska and their success when rushing for 185 yards or more. ... Read More

When Tim Tebow jumped from college football to the NFL his production and skills didn't make the trip.
Fans of Tebow are most likely disappointed with the less-than-impressive results he has produced as a passer in the professional game. But for his most loyal followers who miss his glory days at Florida, they can still relive his successes through the body of another ... Read More

Every Sunday morning pollsters across the nation sit down to play their favorite weekly game -- Candyland: College Football Edition.
But there are no colorful pieces on the board or images of jolly ice cream characters waiting around the winding curve to the finish. Instead, many of the pieces and spaces within the game these voters play are rather gray -- lacking any true definition or direction ... Read More

Many believe that time can heal all wounds. Basketball fans in Cleveland and Orlando may want to disagree.
Years have passed since LeBron James ditched the Cavs for South Beach while months have gone following Dwight Howard's dramatic off-and-on relationship turned trade from Orlando. In the heat of the moment it's not easy to break down and consider the factors involved while removing emotion from the equation. ... Read More

If the jump from week one to week two is the most telling for realistic expectations then the rest of this season can be summed up in one word: Chaos.
On a Saturday when The Mothership used nearly every opportunity to frame the day as a Big-Ten disaster, the upside-down nature of college football was truly felt from coast to coast. The grand scheme of the day seemed to ... Read More

FIVE UP, FIVE DOWN
I've got to learn to sandbag a little to start the year. Five picks I made last week, five picks I nailed. Clemson, Virginia Tech, Alabama, Michigan ... Read More

What makes the teams of your favorite sport truly great? Now think of your favorite conference or division within that sport. How does it stand up against the best among major American sports?
If you were to make a list of criteria, chances are it would share many of the same characteristics that you might find in a Hollywood story. Heroes, villains, underdogs ... Read More

Does Peyton Manning need a knockdown count?
The Denver Broncos may very well win the AFC West, but if they ran their organization similar to that of the Washington Nationals, Manning would never see a single snap in the latter parts of the season. Following successful Tommy John surgery to repair ligaments in star pitcher Stephen Strasburg's elbow, the 'Nats have threatened an innings limit that is sure to ... Read More

If you gauge week one of the college football season as the most important then Michigan's season is over. Everything they worked for in the offseason has been smashed at the hands of the Alabama Crimson Tide. In other words, the rest of the nation still doesn't deserve a place at the table with the SEC's elite.
The Wolverines' 41-14 ... Read More

The day has finally arrived. College football is back.
For many, the season itself is the most exciting aspect that trumps the destination -- a national championship. Maybe it's deep philosophical thought to focus on the journey, or perhaps it's a defeatist attitude considering the SEC's dominance of six-in-a-row national championships. Regardless of the reason, this year looks to provide little relief ... Read More
