There was a lot of movement this week among the programs who held out some hope for a trip to the BCS national championship game. Alabama, Ohio State and Oregon all won and Florida State jumped over Clemson. Those four are the best of the best for now. Meanwhile, teams like Louisville, Texas A&M, LSU and South Carolina are now all but out of the national title picture after losing over the weekend. But for every squad that moved down, there are others that are edging closer and closer to catching up with the big four. Stanford is one of ...

There has not been a lot of movement on the BCS bowls so far this season, but that changed in week seven. With some upsets and a few close calls, the races for the top bowls in college football are getting very interesting. In the Big 12, Oklahoma is no longer the clear cut favorite to reach the Fiesta Bowl. For now, Baylor is our choice. With home games against Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Texas, the Bears schedule could not get much better. The loss by Georgia knocked them out of the BCS, with LSU taking their place in the Sugar Bowl. In the ...

Gambling sharps (the best gamblers around) are right roughly 57% of the time. That figure sounds low to most. But, in fact, it is a high enough figure to make a living off of. The key to being a sharp is not only picking more winners than losers, but also finding the best lines and odds for your bets. An extra half point here, an extra point there makes a huge difference over the course of ...

2014 NFL DRAFT - RISERS and FALLERS,

NOTES and OBSERVATIONS AFTER WEEK 6

Week 6 was Tailgate Saturday but there was even more action on the field.

The battle for the second spot in the BCS National Championship game is heating up. And that is taking the huge assumption that Alabama can stay undefeated. In the ACC, Clemson and Florida State are both playing great football and the conference as a whole is much improved. The computers will like that, but it also means there are opportunities for the Tigers and Seminoles to lose. And one of them will lose when the two go at it on October 19th. The Pac-12 also has a couple teams vying for a perfect season. Oregon heads to Stanford on ...

Of course the SEC division races were going to be exciting, but it could be rather simple if all goes as planned. Alabama has some work to do in the West, but they are the only team without a loss in the division. The Crimson Tide’s toughest remaining games, against LSU and Arkansas, are at home. Even if Alabama manages to lose to LSU, they only have to worry about a one loss Tiger squad surpassing them in the standings and it is quite likely that LSU will lose again at some point. In the East, Georgia is squarely in the driver’s seat. ...

2014 NFL DRAFT - RISERS and FALLERS, or STUNNERS and BUMMERS - WEEK 4

Week 4 did not provide that many interesting or competitive games as blowouts were abundant in college football. But there are always some developments worthy of noting in relation to the NFL draft and I did find one player that you won't find on any pre-season draft lists, along with a QB who wasn't even supposed to start. Both would qualify as STUNNERS as they ...
