09 Homer Preview: The Tar Heel Edition

In an effort to provide coverage of teams outside of the OTP Preseason Top 25, we’ve asked some of our friends and fellow college football aficionados to follow our preview format for their team or go outside the box. This edition of The Homer Preview is courtesy of David Poindexter, a lifelong sports fan with a special affliction for the UNC Tar Heels and a hatred of Duke that rivals even that of the most passionate Kentucky fans.

Conference Preview: The ACC

In an effort to address all the teams and conferences that make the fall so exciting, OTP’s All-Star Editorial staff is putting on their prognosticatin’ hats and taking a stab at each of the conferences and all of the teams in FBS. Alan and Edge are giving you the conference’s order of finish, the records, the superlatives for offense and defense, and the biggest surprise for each conference. At the conclusion of our series, we’ll have the Bowl Projections for all 34 Bowl Games.

Prelude to a Season: #22

22.) Florida State Seminoles What You Need to Know It’s been an interesting journey for the Seminoles over the last several years. While certainly no slouches in the past 8 seasons, having a winning record each year, it was the unbelievable success the Noles were used to before then that has made this somewhat down [...]

Prelude to a Season: #24

24.) Clemson Tigers What You Need to Know Oh, Clemson… how you ruined our Preseason Top 25 last year. The 08 edition of the Tigers saw remarkable talent, a fairly weak conference, and a talented coach in Tommy Bowden totally misdirect those in the know. We, as just about everyone else, looked to Clemson to [...]

GMAC Bowl Drops CUSA, Adds ACC

From all accounts and reports, the quickest way to find financial ruin is to receive an invite and play in Boise, ID at the Humanitarian Bowl. When Ball State was debating whether or not it would be wise to play in that game, the main reason I opposed it was the money involved. For the [...]

Humpday Quickies

All’s quiet on the football front unless you live in Muncie, IN or Auburn, AL and your administration essentially just slipped a pinky finger fist in your backdoor when no one was looking. But at least Auburn has a coach… however craptastic he may be. I am optimistic that Ball State will be able to [...]

Weekend Carnage Report

This was one of the more ho-hum weekends in college football, as evidenced by the lack of change in the Top 15 of the BCS. The season is winding down, and some teams are beginning to believe again while others are realizing that their season or in some cases, their career, might be over. Some [...]

Humpday Quickies

It’s been a couple weeks since we’ve thrown up our Humpday Quickies, but here we are. It’s the humpiest of days. Nothing really of note on the Cardinals that wasn’t already covered, so we’ll move ahead to the Wildcats who face Vandy this week. Is it winnable? Sure. Will they win? Who the hell knows. [...]
