His stats show:

2. SEC champ lock
3. Oklahoma lock with a win
4. Wisconsin...

Arkansas State 34 - Georgia State 17
Colorado 42 - UCLA 20
More to follow, just wanted to get tonights games in before they started.
Not sure if @iowajerms is around or has posted this already. If he has if a mod could merge these threads, that'd be great. Thanks

Spike Albrecht has announced that he is done with college basketball. His hips were causing too many problems. So much respect for this guy. The amount of pain he was dealing with and still playing is impressive. I wish him nothing but the best.
Spike Albrecht on ending career: 'It was the...
Looks like Gene Chizik is going to take a severe pay cut to be the head coach at East Carolina University.
Former Auburn coach likely to be named ECU head coach this weekend
Not sure if @iowajerms posted his picks for the week yet. Here are my picks for games during the week.
Bowling Green 48 at Ball State 27
Ohio 31 at Northern Illinois 41
South Florida 42 at Central Florida 6
Texas Tech 31 at Texas 35
I'll make my Friday-Saturday picks tomorrow.
What are yalls thoughts on having games during conference championship week that are not conference championships? We could have a few extra games played during this week as a way without adding an extra stress to student athletes because there are already games being scheduled, just not played...
Can someone please help me understand a couple things about this punt return? It's following a defensive delay of game penalty for trying to guess the snap count.
My question (maybe former officials can help me out):
A) Why blow the play dead and say you saw a fair catch signal if you did not...
If you're not a fan of the NCAA and you are a fan of an SEC team then check out this video.
It's a really interesting concept. If you read between the lines college athletes are legally allowed to profit off of their likeness. Mark Emmert will not be seeing any of the money that comes from t...
So, we have a lot of posters here who are very knowledgeable and I like hearing what they have to say so I thought I'd make a thread just for random questions to see sort of what the board thought on different topics. Hopefully during the year we can get some help on random questions.
I'm going...
There's not a team on the right half of the bracket I feel any confidence picking them to play in the championship game. They've all got flaws or a reason not to pick them.
Duke - defense
Villanova - I just have a hard time expecting or believing in them. Haven't seen enough. The #2 overall...
Let's say the NCAA awarded autobids to outright conference champions as well as conference tournament champions. Here are the teams that would've missed the tournament and teams that would've been in.
Also, I know it sounds like it would ruin the possibility of upsets, but twelve seeds usually...
Marquise Williams is out until August with a hip related injury. He tweeted in mid-Jan about having surgery. If he had surgery around that time, and is out until August it sounds like a torn labrum. Hopefully that's not what it is but.. if he had surgery for a torn labrum it's very possible he...
Georgia will play UNC in Atlanta to open the season. Should be a good start to the year, two teams with expectations of playing for at least a conference championship.
Which conference has these games out of conference next year?
Maine
Howard
Wofford
Appalachian State
Texas State
Chattanooga
Rhode Island
William and Mary
Bethune Cookman
Elon
NC Central
NC A&T
Delaware
Youngstown State
Akron
Furman
Samford
And then one team plays: Eastern Kentucky, Old...
Terrible ending to the TCU vs. WVU game. Official clearly didn't call the foul until after the time had run out and they went to an official review and put .9 seconds on the clock and gave WVU two free throws down by one to win the game.
It's never to early to start thinking about fantasy baseball.
So, I can keep 6 guys. Standard $260 auction. Who do y'all think?
Zack Greinke - $15
Hyun Jin Ryu - $6
Pablo Sandoval - $6
Doug Fister - $4
Adam Eaton - $4
Evan Gattis - $2
Kolten Wong - $1
Jake Odorizzi - $1
Jose...
Down by ten with 20 minutes left in the game why would you choose to kick an XP and go down by 9?
There is no added benefit to being behind by 9 compared to 10. If you go for two, and convert it's a one possession ball game. If you kick you're two possessions behind, and if you go for two...
I keep hearing about whether Oregon needs to win tonight in order to become "elite" and it seems most people tend to agree with that statement. Just wanted to put my opinion out there and see what others think.
Oregon is an elite program, even with a loss tonight. They've been one of if not...
Hired as the defensive coordinator at UNC. Taking over the worst Power 5 defense in college football next year. Probably the best hire UNC could've made. Future is looking up
I heard Jay Bilas on the radio today say he thinks the committee should list their top 64 teams after the regular season before conference tournaments. Whenever a team not on the list won a conference tournament they would knock off the team at the bottom of the committees list. He believes it's...
Twelve team, half PPR. I have the 11th pick. If I could get Jimmy Graham and Aaron Rodgers with my first two picks is that a decent strategy or will it put me too far behind the 8 ball with RBs and WRs? Thoughts? Thanks.
Has anyone played in a league that is a half point per catch, what were thoughts on it? And does anyone know of any good player ratings/rankings for a half ppr league? Thanks
I'm in a yahoo standard league (we include OPS).
But anyway, each team has $260 at the start of the draft and we can keep up to 6 players for next year at their auction price.
My question is what are y'alls thoughts on trading Yeonis Cespedes ($17) for Bryce Harper ($44)? Only three...
