After last week’s great matchups, I can only hope rivalry week will give us some thrilling games like Florida’s last-second 62-3 victory over FIU, Alabama’s narrow 45-0 escape of Chattanooga or Texas’ 51-20 tough win over Kansas. This week’s slate has games with great history such as Alabama-Auburn, Florida-Florida State, Clemson-South Carolina and UCLA-USC.
Tim Tebow only has three games left as a Gator, raising plenty of questions about what the offense will look like when he’s gone.
As much as Urban Meyer tries to play up FIU, it is still just FIU.
We know, we know, this is one of the worst college football weeks of the year. Don’t blame us for not having anything to distract you from schoolwork. We here at the alligatorSports Brand Picks Column have done our best to predict this week’s game, but believe us, bad games aren’t any easier to project.
The matchups sound too salivating to ignore.
With Florida clinging to a 17-14 lead against South Carolina at halftime, defensive coordinator Charlie Strong knew exactly how to get his defense back on track after the worst half of football his unit has played this season.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — It has been almost five full seasons since Steve Spurrier took over as South Carolina’s coach, but as I watched his post-game press conference on the video screen at Williams-Brice Stadium, it still felt unnatural.
We’re nearing the home stretch of this year’s picks column, and maybe picking against the spread wasn’t such a good idea.
It’s time to start the debate again.
Shortly before last year's Academy Awards, I remember listening to an NPR broadcast that featured a panel of respected film critics discussing who would take home the top honors.
When Brandon Spikes was done explaining why he wanted to have his suspension for the Vanderbilt matchup lengthened from a half to the full game Wednesday, a smattering of reporters thanked him for his time.
We here at the alligatorSports Brand Picks column know Florida has already punched its ticket to Atlanta, but this weekend will go a long way toward determining who it faces for the Southeastern Conference title.
A year and a half ago, I had the pleasure of interviewing Stacey Nelson for a feature story, and she told me about her love for Africa and helping people.
Urban Meyer loves adding new wrinkles to his team's game plan.
First impressions are important in a relationship.
JACKSONVILLE - You and I may never know the actual words.
If you're a senior like me (I would technically classify myself as a redshirt junior, but that's besides the point), and you spent the last three Florida-Georgia games getting wasted at the Landing or in the parking lot of Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, I feel sorry for you.
We're eight weeks in, and it seems the cream is already rising to the top. We invited five "real" writers to participate in the alligatorSports Brand Picks Column for the first time this fall, and so far, the only thing they are "real" good at seems to be losing. Four of the top five places are held by alligatorSports guys with Phil Kegler being the lone Alligator guy in the bottom five. We're sure it'll only be a couple more weeks before we bask in our complete dominance. Anyway, now let's debate a top-10 showdown that will likely determine the Pacific-10 Conference.
