Last week, you came as close to being right as circumstances would allow, as Kentucky certainly put a bit of a scare into Alabama. If we learned one thing in the last week of College Football, it's that South Florida was not a top-10 team. We can probably take it further and say that a lot of "top teams" probably aren't top teams, and probably will get exposed as the mediocre teams they are by losing to other mediocre teams (side note: it sure helps the less highly rated, mediocre team if ...

You’re So Predictable: Completely Unpredictable Losses
Last week we saw Southern Cal lose to Oregon State. That schadenfreude was good eats, and we feasted upon it like a ravenous animal, not knowing that it was just the first course in a multi-course meal that included Florida losing to Mississippi State thanks to a blocked PAT. Last week, we also saw you, the voters, completely whiff in picking Washington over Michigan (sucks!) as the team most likely to use the Bye Week (and, apparently, halftime) to rebound and win. So we'll see if y'all ...
You’re So Predictable: Programs on the Rebound
There were some really crushing losses last weekend: Navy lost to Duke. Ohio State showed why nobody really thought their game against SoCal was that week's game of the century.

Other than the question, "is there any possible way tOSU can beat Southern Cal?" there has been no debate raging ragier among college football fans this week than whether or not Washington should have been penalized with an excessive celebration call last weekend. With that in mind, we give you this week's poll... [poll id="5"] ...
You’re So Predictable: Coaching Career Redemption
I wasn't sure I should use this one, as it's only our 2nd entry in this feature, and already I'm sort of stretching the parameters, but given the story lines of the last week, I feel it's too hard to pass up, so... [poll id="4"] By the way, in our last Your So Predictable, y'all did pretty well, with about 44% of you calling for either the ECU over VaTech or BGSU over Pitt upsets. 25% of you have little imagination or aren't paying much attention to who is coaching at Pitt. ...
You’re So Predictable: Week 1 Upsets
For 2008, we've got a new feature: "You're So Predictable," where we ask you to predict some future outcome for the coming week of college football. Let's go, HLS group-think, just how smart are you? [poll id="3"] ...
