UCLA Bruins
Pacific-12 Conference

It has been an odd finish to the Pac-12 season. This is not exactly what the conference brass were hoping for when they added two new teams and began playing a conference championship game. The first Pac-12 Championship Game will go down in history as the one that does not really matter. UCLA, at ...

Purdue Boilermakers
Big Ten Conference

 
Purdue has had a turbulent year, but managed to salvage bowl eligibility. They were able to put together some great victories and are a team to not be taken lightly in bowl play. Head Coach Danny Hope has put together his best season at Purdue, guiding them to a respectable 6-6 record and ...

Penn State Nittany Lions
Big Ten Conference

 
The Nittany Lions season has been engrossed in the swirling winds of an epic scandal. Joe Paterno has lost his job, and Penn State ended the year by losing two of three games, including an embarrassing beat down at the hands of the powerful Badgers by a score of 45-7. The Nittany Lions ...

Oregon Ducks
Pacific-12 Conference

 
After a week one loss to LSU, the Oregon Ducks went on a tear, defeating their next nine opponents by an average of 29 points. Quarterback Darron Thomas and running back LaMichael James led the 6th most proficient offense in the country, and it appeared a rematch with LSU in the National ...

Northern Illinois Huskies
Mid-American Conference

 
First year head coach Dave Doeren did not miss a beat. His Northern Illinois squad shot back up to the top of the MAC standings despite questions of how this team would come out of the gates with a new leader. However, former coach Jerry Kill certainly left plenty of talent ...

Mississippi State Bulldogs
Southeastern Conference

 
Raise your hand if you are aware of the fact that Mississippi State was ranked in the top 25 coming into this season. Is that someone’s hand in the back? Nope? Okay. Preseason polls are often as useful as Monday morning quarterbacking and yet Mississippi State was supposed to be ...

Iowa Hawkeyes
Big Ten Conference

 

Iowa knew from the start of the year that they were in for a rough season after their stud quarterback, Ricky Stanzi, graduated. However, new signal caller James Vandenberg has stepped in nicely. Iowa’s passing attack has not missed a beat and the team has had a solid season. They beat up on ...

Illinois Fighting Illini
Big Ten Conference

 

Illinois had an outstanding start to their year, winning six straight games out of the gate. However, after a victory over Indiana, things went downhill for them. That win took place on October 8th and Illinois has not tasted victory since. That miserable six game skid cost Ron Zook ...

Arizona State Sun Devils
Pacific-12 Conference

 

Expectations were high in Tucson at the beginning of the 2011 season as the Sun Devils opened the season ranked in the top-25, and were touting one of the strongest defensive units in the FBS. Linebacker Vontaze Burfict was the emotional and statistical leader for Arizona ...
