West is a monster back there. He was off a bit from last year. I expect next year he'll put up numbers better than his freshman year. Nearly the entire OL will be seniors next year.

How freakin' fun are college football playoffs? I just wish they were the "big boys" that were doing it. These games are fun to watch but tougher to follow because you don't know the majority of the players.

The sad thing is some of these teams are more than capable of beating the "big boys" and have done so this year and in previous ones.

It's a crock of **** when the NCAA comes out and says playoff football at the FBS level won't work because of academics. Then how does playoff football work at this level (FCS), Division II, & Division III? It's all about greed and money from bowls/sponsorships the NCAA is receiving from these companies that support bowl games.

Nothing is about academics in collegiate athletics.

I love watching these games as a football purist, but it's tough as hell to get my buddies to sit down and watch them with me because they have no idea who they are. And understandably so.

College of Charleston to Join CAA in 2013

After a month of negotiating with the CAA, College of Charleston has accepted an invitation to join the CAA for the 2013-2014 season. The move gives the CAA a school to replace Georgia St., VCU and ODU, which have already left or leaving next year. Charleston gains more recruiting and exposure in the northeast due to their association with the CAA.
