College Football News – Brought to you by Scout.com and Foxsports.com, this website features 4 staff writers who report on everything NCAA college football.  While much of the writing is opinion editorial there is a bit of news reporting on the happenings throughout the country.  Their “Expert Picks” are the main competition for us here at College Football Campus and the standard by which most analysts hold themselves to for predictions.  Last season we finished 5 games better than the College Football News senior staff but fell short in the bowl season.  Look for plenty more competition in the coming season as we continue to compete with them comparing our Senior Staff Picks to their Expert Picks.

The Bleacher Report – A community of fan-journalists make this website possible.  While college football is not their single reason for existence, it does have a growing NCAA football following with over 4400 members at last check (the website also offers community building services to a host of other national sports: MLB, NBA, NFL, etc.).  The concept of the Bleacher Report is similar to our own website with one slight difference:  They characterize their community as “fan-journalists” and we hope to build a community of “freelance journalists.”  The difference we want to see in our site from the Bleacher Report is a higher standard of writing with more in-depth statistical analysis.  Any fan can write a “rant” calling for their favorite team to put on a scoring fest in the coming weekend, but a true football analyst can set aside the bias to present the quality analysis of stats.  If the stats say that your favorite football team is going to lose, then we would expect you to say just that.


In the Bleachers – A college football blog by people who know and have played the game.  Brian Sakowski uses his experience as a two year collegian starter at quarterback to offer the readers a unique insight into college football.  He also is still has a role in the inner workings of football at both the high school and college levels. Brian started the In The Bleachers Podcast in 2005, and notes that the podcast is the longest running general college football podcast on the internet. The In The Bleachers Blog began in 2006 and has been credited as one of the top 5 college football blogs in the Sports Business Journal for two years running.  The blog has also been quoted in ESPN.com and the New York Times.  Brian currently calls Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania home. Michael has had multiple articles, including several installments of his "2008 Battle at the Top" series featured on SI.com's Campusclicks and his experiences in the arena help him bridge the ever growing gap between fans and the players they love or love to hate. It is home of the In The Bleachers Podcast which is the longest running general college football podcast on the internet.  College Football Blog, College Football Podcast, Podcast, SEC, Big Ten, BCS, FBS, FCS, Big XII, Big 12, Pac 10, Pac Ten, Big East, ACC, Atlantic Coast Conference, Heisman, Heisman Trophy.  
  

Everyday Should Be Saturday – Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

College Football Cafeteria – Following the controversial 2008 college football season, College Football Cafeteria opened its doors to serve college football fans who were hungry for authentic commentary. Let’s face it- Tim Tebow is God in the eyes of every ESPN sportscaster, and it just got downright annoying. That and some of the more prominent bloggers out there are calling us a bunch of whiners when we call for a playoff. Are they watching the same sport I am?  It was with that in mind that Sloppy Joe founded College Football Cafeteria. The raw, genuine content you will find here may not be something you are accustomed to. Our team calls it how we see it. That may not mean exactly what you think it does. It means we aren’t just spouting off what the guys on ESPN are saying during Sports Center. It means we’re not spewing profanity because we think it makes us sound more passionate. It means we don’t repeat the same asinine, archaic arguments about college football and its tradition. It means we are real, true fans…just like you.   We are sick of the blogs that represent specific teams and programs. We are sick of blogs that represent certain conferences. We are sick of blogs that do nothing but represent an agenda and a point of view. College Football Cafeteria is a blog that represents the fans. After all, we are what makes college football what it is, right? If we didn’t tailgate, attend games and follow the sport so closely, then college football would hardly be a sport to speak of. That’s why our blog is dedicated to the fans, the loyal followers of college football.   Also, be sure to check out our rankings archive. Want to know who the national champion was in 1938? 1955? 1984? It’s all there! College Football Cafeteria’s rankings archive has every final AP and UPI/USA Today poll since they began. Don’t forget to look at our college football predictions page and follow us as we make our picks each week. Want to see our playoff proposal? We’ve got a sixteen-team college football playoff proposal for the NCAA that is perfect! And whether you agree or disagree with it, you can always share your thoughts! So enjoy your visit to College Football Cafeteria. It’s a college football blog of the fans, by the fans, and for the fans. We encourage any and all feedback and participation. Please comment as freely as you would like on any and all of our material, agree or disagree with us. Hey, if you even want to be an author and join the team, just let us know! We’re always looking for more fans who want to represent the fans. Thanks for stopping in!


Pigskin History – Of all those games in all their forms none is as unique and flavourful as college football. Its pageantry, parochial charm and delicious regional variety are peerless. Nowhere else in the world can one find 100,000 paying souls watching a show put on by amateurs. In no other game can a man live for half a decade at the very height of public attention before receding so briskly into the shadows of history, all without earning a cent (ideally). America has produced no game so powerfully tied to the lives, identity, and emotional well being of so many. We care and invest so much, but beyond these shores our game is completely unknown. This game belongs to Americans alone.  For better or worse, this game will forever remain central to American life, experience, education and pride. Its history is fascinating to say the very least. The more we forget that history the more abuse of the game in its modern form we will tolerate.  This blog is the work of a historian, a traditionalist and a purist. I defy all Jonny-come-latelies (yeah, I'm talking to you Miami). I reject the legitimacy of astro-turf (Buckeyes). I insist that black does not belong on a college football player above the ankle (Texas Tech). I adore Jo Paterno.  Several people have encouraged me to consider writing a book about this game. Perhaps one day I will. No doubt my historical skill set stands a better chance of making me some cash in this field than in writing diplomatic histories of American maritime affairs.  Consider this blog a first tentative step in that direction.
