I honestly couldn't find a game I care about previewing in depth this week. Not for a lack of good games, just none of them have a hook or anything interesting happening. The potential conference meltdown has sucked all the fun out of this week. Plus it's time for a ...

(5) Boise State spanks (19) Georgia 35-21
The first thing I thought of watching Boise systematically destroy Georgia in the second half of Saturday's game is how much like the 2005 USC Trojans the Broncos look. Right down to the calm, not-necessarily NFL-ready senior leader at quarterback. Okay so Doug Martin ...

(2) Oregon (12-0) vs. (1) Auburn (13-0) (-3)
Two Heisman finalists, two teams from the two best conferences in college football, and yet...and yet this feels hollow somehow. Something's missing.
Sure, TCU went 13-0 and were impressive in beating Wisconsin, but without Boise State here it's just not the same. The most ...

Record after week 13: 145-63 (105-98-5 ATS)
12 pm ET
Conference USA Championship Game
Southern Methodist (7-5) at Central Florida (9-3) (-9)
I guess Central Florida is good this year? Okay, I admit it, and you may find this shocking, but I didn't follow Conference USA very closely this year. I know. Unforgivable.
Pick: UCF ...

8 pm ET
(17) Texas A&M (8-3) at Texas (5-6) (+3.5)
I can't say enough about how hilarious these two teams' records look to me. And I'm still sticking with my conspiracy theory that Mack Brown is done after this year. His veiled ...

Virginia Tech has won their division and earned a berth in the ACC Championship game with their 31-17 win over the Miami Hurricanes. The Hokies have won nine straight games and are 7-0 in the ACC this year. This, of course, after they started 0-2 with losses to Boise State ...

Years from now, USC's 36-7 loss to Oregon State in Corvallis will probably just be a hilarious footnote from a very odd season for the Southern California Trojans. Probation, no bowl games, and terrible defense (despite the presence of Monte Kiffin) will probably get most of the press.
But USC losing ...

Ivan Maisel's post-mortem on the Boise/Fresno game says it all. Well, more like he lets Fresno State head coach Pat Hill say it all. If anyone had any doubt about Boise State's national championship credentials, just ask the Bulldogs' coach, whose players were at the no-fun end of a 51-0 ...

There are two things to take away from Auburn's 49-31 defeat of Georgia Saturday night:
1) If Cam Newton doesn't, Auburn's sneaky-bad defense is what is going to cost them the national championship.
We already kind of knew that since they've been giving up a ton of points all season. But 31 ...
