College Football on NBC &bull Yesterday
What that look will be remains to be seen, although it will very likely involve what would technically be called a "plus-one" format, but in reality is merely a four-team playoff. If one of the power conferences gets its way, any playoff system will have a very local flavor to it. Citing conference sources, the Chicago Tribune's Teddy Greenstein reported Monday evening that the Big Ten has discussed a plan that entails taking the top four teams from the BcS bowl pool and, in a twist, have the two semifinal games played on the campus of the higher seed. Commissioner… Full Story »

Citing a source familiar with the situation, the San Jose Mercury News reported over the weekend that the Oakland Raiders are interested in Cardinal co-defensive coordinator Jason Tarver.

College Football on NBC &bull Feb 5, 2012
Last year's Green Bay-Pittsburgh Super Bowl contained a couple of mini-surprises as it pertained to college football, with the MAC tied for third among all conferences with 13 former players littering the two squads' game-day rosters and Central Michigan tying for the top spot among individual schools with four ex-players in the championship game. This year is no different when it comes to surprising roster tidbits. Before we get to the surprises, and the non-surprises in a couple of cases, though, a little bit of technical housecleaning is in order: the totals you see below come from the official sites… Full Story »
