It's a fun way...
Hello, this is a feature that will run through the entire season and aims to recap the weekend’s events and boils those events down to one admittedly superficial fact or stupid opinion about each team. Feel free to complain about it.
No one is ever going to be totally happy with the ways in...
Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly won't have to go on Oprah and stump for his team to make the BCS Championship Game.
The Irish now control their own destiny. There were a few clear winners on Saturday night as the BCS erupted in chaos. Stanford and Baylor got season-defining upsets against Oregon...

Alabama's loss to Texas A&M makes what Notre Dame, Kansas State and Oregon did on Saturday that much more impressive.

While you were watching LSU-Alabama, and maybe clicking over to catch USC-Oregon, Kansas State was having perhaps the most impressive night of any of the top four BCS Championship Game contenders.
Notre Dame was taken to the wire by Pitt. Alabama played a tough game against LSU. Oregon scored...
Three weeks ago, the Heisman race was over.
West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith seemingly had the bronze statue sewn up, but needed a fantastic effort Saturday against Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein, a fellow Heisman contender, to keep his spot atop of the heap.
That fantastic effort...
So, it's solved. Defense really does win championships - or just plain ol' Big 12 Conference games.
That's what West Virginia found out Saturday afternoon when it ran into a Texas Tech team with a similar offense and a much better defense, and was throttled 49-14 in Lubbock. It was the No. 5...
If Bill O'Brien hasn't been the top coach in college football over the first six weeks of the season, the line in front of him is pretty short.
Penn State has now won four games in a row, including two straight Big Ten contests, after knocking off previously undefeated and 24th-ranked...
By the end of the day, another round of expansion will be complete and college football will look almost nothing like it did prior to the 2010 season.

ST. PAUL -- The real winners and losers of the 2011 NHL Draft won't come into focus until about three or four years down the line, when some of these names are contending for NHL awards and others are footnotes in history.
But having watched all seven rounds of the draft at Xcel Energy...
The drills began on Saturday at the scouting combine in Indianapolis, with offensive linemen and tight ends taking the lion's share of the drills on the field of Lucas Oil stadium. But beyond the drills, there were other players taking part in the media frenzy that has been going on since...

BUBBLE WINNERS
