SB Nation Conference Re-draft: 7th round just went down
The 7th round is a wrap and while our stranglehold on this venture has loosened its grip slightly, we expect other teams to start tapping out by selecting the best Mormon school available, relying on a higher power to deliver the final vote on their conference might. The 12 Pack continues to...
Backyard Football -- Big 10 Style
Wrigley Field in Chicago will host its first college football game in 72 years Saturday when Northwestern (7-3) plays Illinois (5-5). It was set up last April, and both sides signed off on the setup, which has the field running from the 3rd base dugout to right field. Then Wednesday they let the...
Two Games In And Todd Wright Is Your MVP

Our preseason preview moves on to the Big Ten. Here are links to the first three installments on the SEC, Big 12 and ACC if you missed them. If we are going to call the Big 12 the Big 12-2 I suppose we can start referring to the Big Ten as the Big 11+1. Does it matter? I personally feel like the...
