Everybody loves rankings lists, and college football fans -- by necessity -- seem to like lists even more than average folk. So we have Athlon making another list. First it ranked Pac-12 coaches. Now it ranks all 125 coaches for FBS programs. O...

Welcome to the mailbag. Click here to follow the Pac-12 blog on Twitter. And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, the Mailbag. Bishop from Eugene, Ore., writes: Let's assume that Marc Helfrich takes over as head coach, and the upcoming NCAA sanctions ...

Welcome to this week's mailbag. I'm assuming you know everybody here. For those of you who do not follow me on Twitter, you can correct that horrible injustice by going here. To the notes! Stefan from Honolulu writes: I'm a huge duck fan, al...

Some games you want to win because you want to win every game. Others games feature highly ranked teams and therefore generate national interest. Some are rivalry games. But Notre Dame-USC is something else entirely, even if the 83rd game of the stor...

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly was doing a great job Tuesday, saying nice things about Stanford and coach Jim Harbaugh. He called Harbaugh "a very good football coach" and "passionate." But then he made a joke. "I don't think he's the best Harbau...

Howdy. Still on vacation, but the mailbag is not. To the notes. Josh from Lynden, Wash., writes: There is a lot being made of the Pac 10 not having a national title contender. Did you see anything in spring ball that would lead you to believe t...

Ranking the BCS conferences: It's an exercise that guarantees at least one constituency will think you're a genius and another will think you're an idiot. It's easy to dump the Big East into sixth place: Eight teams, not enough elite teams, not en...

Everybody get my Christmas list? To the notes. JT from New York writes: Do you think the success of Utah, Cincinnati, Boise, and Oregon, and the fall of USC, Georgia, and Notre Dame, will put a damper on the star system for recruits and the ove...
