In the only game between ranked teams in week four, Arizona State, ranked No.23 in the nation, traveled to “The Farm” Saturday, coming short of a possible big-time comeback in the fourth quarter, losing to No. 5 Stanford 42-28 on Saturday. Arizona State trailed 39-7 in the third quarter and marched to a string of 21 unanswered points [...]
SEC Football: Auburn vs LSU Preview
When the Auburn Tigers and LSU Tigers tangled in the regular season during 2000-05, it usually meant the winner would represent the West division in the SEC Championship game. Approaching Saturday’s 2013 matchup, nobody expects a redecorated staff of Auburn on the heels of their first season to essentially win the toughest division in college football. A win for Auburn would [...]
Texas A&M Football: Aggies Defense Looking Like That Of A Big 12 Team
To categorize the Texas A&M Aggies‘ defense to start the 2013 season would be pretty basic; not quite up to par with most of the SEC, but definitely looks like a Big 12 defense after watching the team’s three games. The Texas A&M defense has resembled countless Big 12 defenses over the last five seasons, with the inability to [...]
Texas A&M Football: Mike Evans Showing His True Colors
If Texas A&M Aggies wide receiver Mike Evans plays exactly like he did during this past weekend’s 49-42 loss to Alabama for the rest of the season, Texas A&M will most likely be unbeatable. The game between the two-time defending national champion, Alabama and Evans’ A&M team, was close enough to get a rematch in [...]
South Carolina Hits A Bye Week At The Right Time
The South Carolina Gamecocks came through with a 35-25 win over Vanderbilt Saturday, scoring on their first four possessions of the game.

USC has won five straight in the series, [...]
SEC Football: North Texas vs Georgia Preview

Ole Miss Football: The Rebels Can Now Set Their Sights on Alabama
Mission not accomplished. Texas’ retooling of their defense with a different mind, had zero impact on Ole Miss’ read-option offense. The Rebels totaled 272 rushing yards with five different runners, throwing more smoke on a Texas run defense, which is third to last in the nation presently, an average of 307.5 yards per contest and over 800 [...]
Tennessee Isn’t Facing a Similar Oregon Offense with Florida
Tennessee found out the hard way last weekend. As a combined group, they’re nowhere close to program respectability along the college football landscape and pose no sort of threat in the SEC East. This was after Tennessee got rocked by Oregon 59-14 in the team’s first true road game. Tennessee scored first against Oregon on Saturday in the first six [...]
Mississippi State’s Dan Mullen May Face a Harsh Reality After Saturday
Those that believe that Mississippi State Bulldogs head coach Dan Mullen has no business walking the same line of Texas’ Mack Brown or USC head boss Lane Kiffin, you might want to back off that statement after yet another blunder for Bulldogs chances of a successful year in 2013 came Saturday. Bulldogs fans will see that go ahead touchdown pass from Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall to his tight end C.J [...]
