2010 Big East Football Predictions

1. West Virginia – This team is returning 16 starters and can very well be undefeated heading into their November 26th backyard brawl vs Pitt.

Betting College Football with an Eye on Talent

Several years ago, I started looking at a ways to evaluate college football teams before the season started. The goal was to achieve a method of understanding who the impact players on the football field were and at least presume they will follow thru once the season commences.

The same is true with players relatively unknown, like the New York Giants top pick DE Jason Pierre Paul of South Florida,...

Florida St. is the only team ranked on the AP Preseason poll and...
