USC has won their big game against Ohio State twice in back to back years. Its the next game they have problems with. Last year, USC went on the road and lost to Oregon State immediately after defeating the Buckeyes. This year, it was the Washington Huskies who pulled the upset. The Huskies defense shut down the powerful Trojans offense, and Erik Folk kicked a 22 yard field goal with 3 seconds remaining to give Washington a 16-13 victory in Seattle. U

For the casual football fan whose experience with the college game may extend no farther than catching an occasional game with his buddies at the bar, Boise State’s Broncos football team can cause quite a bit of consternation. As members of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), they first captured the attention of much of the nation in the 2006-07 campaign. That season saw the Broncos go undefeated with 13 wins, and then beat the mighty Oklahoma Sooners in the Fiesta Bowl game. For the last several seasons, the Broncos have remained one of the best – and perhaps underrated – teams in the country. Even though they managed another undefeated 14 victory season in 2009, they were never seriously considered for title contention. Oddly enough, though, for most casual fans the Boise State football’s team has not been the real attention-getter – it has been the fact that they play on a blue field!

Fans of college football know all too well the quality of the teams that the University of Miami football program has fielded in the last several decades. Though the program had not won a national championship for most of its eighty-four year history, the early 1980s saw a change in fortunes that has lasted into recent years. The five championships won by Miami teams since 1983 (the Associated Press awarded them the title in 1984, with another four titles awarded through 2002) are bested only by the programs at three other schools. With two winners of the Heisman Trophy in their history, the Hurricanes have had an impact both as a team and in personal bests. Their 58 consecutive home wins was an NCAA record that no team has managed to surpass.

In the one hundred and sixteen year history of the Arkansas Razorbacks football team, Hogs fans have had a lot about which they could be proud. With more than 650 wins to the program’s credit and fewer than 450 losses, the program ranks in the top 25 of the NCAA when it comes to the best winning percentage. And though they have yet to win a conference title since moving into the Southeastern Conference, the Razorbacks did win a total of 13 conference championships while a member of the old Southwest Conference. Seven of those championships came during the tenure of John “Frank” Broyles, who served as coach for the Hogs from 1958 until 1976.

Since playing their first college football game in 1892, the Alabama Crimson Tide football program has become one of college football’s most accomplished. With thirteen national titles and eight AP or Coaches consensus championships to its credit, the Alabama program has consistently remained among the elite of NCAA football powers. Nearly half of the program’s national championships were earned during the tenure of one Alabama coach – the legendary Paul “Bear” Bryant, who coached Alabama teams from 1957 until his retirement after the 1982 season.
