  1. Power conferences in college football gain even more strength

    College football commissioners were going to end their three-day unity conference in Pasadena with a round of "Kumbaya" at the hotel's valet carport. That was before the consulting firm that dreamed up "College Football Playoff" suggested something more generic from "The White Album."

  4. Chicago State joins the WAC

    I know that when I think "west," I automatically think "Illinois," so it only makes sense that Chicago State announced on the Wednesday that it has joined the Western Athletic Conference.

  6. Utah State wins WAC title

    <strong>at No. 25 Utah State 45, Idaho 9:</strong> Chuckie Keeton passed for two touchdowns, Kerwynn Williams rushed for 110 yards and senior Will Davis returned an interception 59 yards for a touchdown as the Aggies (10-2, 6-0 Western Athletic) secure their first outright conference title in 76 years while earning their first 10-win season. The Aggies intercepted Taylor Davis three times in the first half and forced him to fumble. Williams' 52-yard run set up Keeton's three-yard TD pass to Kellen Bartlett early in the third quarter for a 28-9 advantage for the Aggies. Lou Groza Award finalist Trey Farquhar kicked field goals of 38, 46 yards and 52 yards &mdash; his 11th career field goal of 50 yards or more for Idaho (1-11, 1-5).

  7. Times college football rankings: Five California schools make the list

    Rankman has rarely been this excited about two recently "dropped out" teams playing on a Thursday night in Piscataway, N.J. The showdown between Rutgers and Louisville now features two teams representing three different conferences. Rutgers is joining the Big Ten in 2014 and Louisville just announced it is leaving the Big East for the Atlantic Coast. The Big East doesn't bother these days to stitch member names on its lettermen's sweaters &mdash; it uses Velcro. There is so much upheaval and mediocrity at the bottom of these rankings that Slippery Rock made it to the second-to-final cut. Five schools from California cracked the list but uthere was no room at the Top-25 Inn for hobos USC and California. Also, note the team at No. 20. This is the highest Rankman has been on Utah State since he used to put beer on ice in the sink while lodging at the Logan Motel Baugh.

  9. The Times' top 25 college football teams

    The Southeastern Conference, taken out of the national title hunt for as long as three non-SEC teams keep winning, mostly takes the week off as it openly cheers for upsets of Oregon, Kansas State and Notre Dame. SEC schools bully up to play seven 1-AA schools this week, which is seven more than Notre Dame, USC and UCLA have ever scheduled. The SEC is believed to be the first league to stage an exhibition season inside a regular season, but the scary part is Alabama A&amp;M might beat Auburn. And if Florida thought Louisiana Lafayette was tough last week, well, watch out for Jacksonville State. In keeping with the SEC's time-honored November tradition, Rankman has scheduled mostly 1-AA level comments this week.

  11. The Times' top 25 college football rankings

    The SEC (a.k.a., BCS) standings were released this week and it was a surprise to see that former Big 12 Conference member Texas A&amp;M is the only Southeastern Conference school ranked between 13th and 25th. The SEC really needs to upgrade its developmental league. Sorry, but Oregon is Rankman's No. 2 for as long as the Ducks keep winning and the checks keep clearing. Watch out for Oklahoma, up five spots this week to No. 8. The Sooners have recovered from the "Kansas State Flu" and appear perfectly positioned and poised to ruin Notre Dame's perfect season in two weeks. We think Louisiana Tech is the first team to be dropped from the poll after scoring 57 points. Frank Solich, Ohio's 68-year-old coach, joins the top 25 to rehearse for a stage adaptation of "Cocoon" with Bill Snyder (73) and Steve Spurrier (67).
