In SB Nation's NCAA Bracket projections, posted this morning, Rutgers doesn't make the field yet, but is at least on the bubble, listed under "Next Four Out". On Blogging The Bracket's S-Curve, RU...

I'm not saying that I think this is especially likely to happen.  But I figured people might want to know.  The nickel version is this:  To have a chance at winning the Big East, Rutgers would...

So, now we're at the actual bubble bursting phase of the season.  At this point, there are 69 bowl-eligible teams, with 68 bowl spots out there.  At the moment, I'd put Louisiana-Lafayette on the...

 In the interest of getting this done before I leave on vacation, I'll just sum up my opinions on who will get the BCS at-large berths.  Barring weirdness, I expect TCU, Boise State, the...

Getting this in at about the last minute.  Funny thing is I'll have to have next week's up on Monday, I'm leaving on vacation on Tuesday.  (San Antonio & Austin, hopefully I'll get to the...

Here's this week's list of who's in, who's out, and who has some work to do.  Surprisingly, with 5 weeks to go, I can already declare one conference as settled (although not officially).  it's...

  First off, thanks for all the nice comments last week.  I'm glad folks find this useful.  2 things I forgot to include last week.  First is just a note of how many bowl slots each...

I can't quite explain why, but I spend a lot of time keeping track of bowl eligibility - who's in, who's out, and who really needs to win this week because their next 3 games are brutal. ...

As the official bowl slotting freak around here, I couldn't resist.  With the announcement of 2 new bowls for 2008, what would have been the effects on the 2007 matchups if they'd existed?

Well, this is almost all over and done with, but there's still a few questions left.  Actually, this is mostly a long look at the different possibilities for the BCS at-large spots, so don't say I...

To respond to something in another post, yeah, it is sort of irrational for a 7-5 team from the Sun Belt to a 6-6 team from the SEC.  And overall, no, the bowl system isn't fair.  But lots of...

Interesting fact about last week.  It was a good week for teams trying to get eligible on the East side of the Mississippi, and a bad one for teams on the West.  (OK, except for Iowa, but...

Whoa, things just got more interesting.  This was the week for "crappy teams beat halfway decent teams", and muddle everything up.  OK, UCLA actually did that the last 2 weeks, but never mind.S...

Oops, meant to get this up a couple of days ago.  Some movement from last week's games.  Maryland and Michigan State move from "in" to the bubble, Colorado, Oregon State and a bunch of mid-majors...

One of the things that I really get into about college football is the whole bowl eligibility issue - I geek out about who might be getting the at-large bid to the Poinsettia Bowl (I know, never...
