AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez Every college football fan in the Best Coast in America has heard the same thing over and over again: the Pac-10 is not real football. During the baseball season, Orlando Hudson and Juan Pierre echoed that sentiment very loudly one Saturday in the Dodger clubhouse during an LSU-Georgia game. While...

State rivalries are always big in sports, and the end-of-season Oregon-Oregon State football game, "the Civil War," is always a big deal to Oregon sports fans. But this year it's unusually big because the winner goes to Pasadena (my home town) to play Ohio State in the Rose Bowl. Oregon had to squeak into the possibility with a double-overtime win at Arizona, the only Pac-10 team never to...

by Brian Grummell Filed under: Arizona , Oregon , Pac 10 , General CFB Insanity It was arguably the game of the year in college football. It was certainly further evidence that the Pac-10 is back as a national conference. After two overtimes and a touchdown with six seconds left in regulation, the Oregon Ducks outlasted Arizona 44-41 to take control of the Pac-10. For a while, the stars seemed to...

Oregon St. defeated Washington St. 42-10. Oregon defeated Arizona 41-38 in double overtime. As a result, the Civil War in twelve days will be for Pac-10 Championship, and the Rose Bowl. Not strings attached. No tie breakers. No vote of college chancellors as was the case in 1964, the last time a similar showdown ensued, and the last time the Beavers went to the Rose Bowl. ESPN will be there, and the...

I have lived in Columbus, Ohio my whole life. I have no idea what it is like not to live in a college town. This town in CRAZY in the fall. It's football, football, football!!! This week was no different as we clenched the Big Ten title and the Rose Bowl bid last Saturday. Then we geared up all week for the big game, Michigan. Or should I say, "the state up north." Game day in Columbus is...

The rivalry between the Ohio State and Michigan football teams is a HUGE one. Although we’re already slated to go to the Rose Bowl after beating Iowa last week, this is still a HUGE game. As I said, it’s a HUGE rivalry. Some even say that it’s the biggest rivalry in college [...]

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Tate Forcier threw four interceptions and fumbled in his end zone, and No. 9 Ohio State took advantage to beat Michigan 21-10 Saturday for its sixth straight win in the series. The Buckeyes (10-2, 7-1) clinched an outright Big Ten championship and will play in the Rose Bowl with a five-game winning streak. The Wolverines started the season 4-0 and ended it 5-7.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The Game has lost a lot of luster. Ohio State has beaten Michigan five straight times, its best winning streak and the longest in the series since the 1920s. The ninth-ranked Buckeyes (9-2, 6-2 Big Ten) have already clinched at least a share of their fifth straight conference title and a spot in the Rose Bowl. Michigan (5-6, 1-6) is mired in another miserable year – coming...

As recently as 2006, the Big Ten's two most high-profile programs stood astride the college football world. Each had a dominant, balanced offense, with NFL-caliber talent on defense. That Michigan-Ohio State game was a shootout that never really verged on classic. The Buckeyes won, 42-39, and completed an unbeaten regular season, stockpiling hype that evaporated in that season's BCS title game beatdown...
