The Blue Workhorse Week 15 College Football Top 25

There was a great competitive matchup for the SEC title and then there was a blowout where the opposition never even looked prepared for the Big XII title.

The winners, Florida & Oklahoma, of these games will now faceoff for the right to be crowned the BCS national champion.

Another week means another re-evaluation, and thus, we give you our new The Blue Workhorse College Football Top 25 after Week 14. Some things to note from this week’s rankings:

The Blue Workhorse Week 14 College Football Top 25

Oklahoma won impressively yet again, and it was just enough to bump them past Texas and into the Big XII championship game. With a win, they appear to be destined for the national championship against the winner of the SEC championship game. Too bad Texas can’t replace Missouri in the championship game. Now that would make for an entertaining championship weekend.

The Blue Workhorse Week 13 College Football Top 25

Is Sam Bradford still throwing touchdowns? Because that seemed to be the only thing he could do on Saturday night. Oklahoma’s dominating performance against Texas Tech shakes up our rankings a bit and makes the BCS even more confusing.

College Football Predictions: Week 13 (Part I)

My selections the last two weeks have been lackluster at best, but with the more crucial the games…the better I have been this year, so I’m looking for a big week with some big time Top 5 and Top 15 matchups this weekend.

So what kind of predictions do I have this week? Probably the best you’ve ever seen, but we’ll start with Wednesday and Thursday nights games in Part I (with predictions for Saturday’s gamesto be released in Part II on Friday)

The Blue Workhorse Week 12 College Football Top 25

While their weren’t any true marquee games this week, Oregon State did beat Cal positioning themselves even further for the Pac-10 title. Coach Mike Riley has quietly put together a solid season after the Beavers started terribly slow.

In other conference races: no one wants to win the ACC; the Big 10 is Penn State’s to lose; the SEC & WAC races are already over; and the Big East, Mountain West, MAC, Sun Belt, and Big XII could be all but determined this weekend.

Congrats to Rosenblogger and his Vanderbilt Commodores as they have become bowl eligible for the first time in his lifetime. Bobby Johnson is a great coach who wins the right way, and we applaud his accomplishment.

ESPN’s Latest Anti-Georgia Bias Sickening

I know Georgia is not USC or Ohio State, doesn’t have a controversial coach like Rich Rodriguez or Nick Saban, and doesn’t necessarily have a high-profile, household-named player such as a Tim Tebow, but their latest transgression against my college sports team of choice is inexcusable:

Week 2 College Football Observations

I watched several of the college football games that were televised throughout the day on Saturday. There were some good games, some blowouts, some close calls, and another upset for East Carolina.

I didn’t get to watch much of the late games because I had to go to work, but here are some things I observed about certain players and teams from the games I was able to see:

* East Carolina is no joke. They are a physical squad that wasn’t afraid of West Virginia or their high powered offense. Just like last week against Virginia Tech, they were tougher than their BCS conference foe.
