college football conferences

Calhoun took over the Falcons this year following the retirement of Fisher DeBerry who stepped down after 23 seasons at the academy. Calhoun who was the Mountain West Conference's coach of the year inherited a team that had suffered through three consecutive losing seasons including a 4-8 record in 2006. The program made some significant improvements offensively however averaging 29.4 points and 418.9 yards per game - both second best in the conference. Calhoun also found a better use for senior Chad Hall who was named the conference's offensive player of the year. After initially struggling to find a role for Hall who is listed at 5-foot-8. 180 pounds. Calhoun decided to give him more carries later in the season. The tailback exploded in the final seven games averaging 179.6 yards rushing and scoring 11 of his 14 rushing touchdowns in that stretch. This is the Falcons' first bowl game since losing to Virginia Tech in the 2002 San Francisco Bowl. They are 8-8-1 in bowl games going back to the 1957 season. Cal leads the all-time series against Air Force. 5-2. The Bears won the last meeting 56-14 in 2002.

The BEST ACC Basketball and ACC Football Coverage!Boston College. Clemson. Duke. Florida State. Georgia Tech. Maryland. Miami. North Carolina. North Carolina State. Virginia. Virginia Tech and Wake Forest:Do you Basketblog? This may be a very familiar look for tonight's notionally televised game. Funny that the Appy's might start and end the year defeating the winged helmet. The ACC Basketblog (even Catamount Birkel) Salutes you. GO APP!!! : "Season that includes win at Michigan needs win in Chattanooga. The story Corey Lynch enjoys most happened during the Major League Baseball playoffs in Ohio State-obsessed Cleveland just weeks after Appalachian State had opened the college football season with its now-famous upset of Michigan." : "Appalachian State University's memorable defeat of the Wolverines helped define the country's sporting landscape this year." : "At Appalachian State it's called "The Game For The Ages." Fans wanting a way to commemorate the Mountaineers' shocking upset of Michigan can get limited edition artwork travel mugs posters and T-shirts." : "The Mitchell report gives a general road map for improving baseball's drug testing but prescribes no timetable and few specific orders." Isn't it odd that as soon as King Roger gets named everyone wants to start doubting the validity of the report. We heard an ESPN commentator say this: "The very fact that Clemons and his legal team undergo vehemently denied these allegations must raise doubts as to the findings." Really.... When Mike Vick said "These allegations are false and I look forward to clearing my good name" did that raise doubts as to the feds inspect against him? When Bonds allegedly said "I have never knowingly taken steroids"... and has publicly said "I have never failed a test" did that raise doubts as to truth of the allegations lodged against him? Not so sure why the media rushes to the side of "mercy patience and letting time tell us the truth" with Clemons but takes out the pipes and blow torches on Bonds and Vick. Won't time reveal the complete truth on all such matters. Don't agree? Take it to the comments section.• • • Thomas Boswell: -"Roger Clemens joins Barry Bonds in the slow burn that lasts a lifetime and then after death lingers as long as the game is played." : "Barry Bonds and his supporters often pointed to the fact that the home run king never flunked a drug evaluate administered by Major League Baseball. The Mitchell Report suggests why: it appears Bonds received advanced warning of two tests in 2003." Interesting.. interesting... : "ESPN experiment to have 24/7 coverage from Charlotte. Lights camera. Bobcats. When the boss says ESPN gets all-access then ESPN gets all-access. That means television radio and the Internet. It means shaking up the normal routine of a home game day. It also means national exposure like the Charlotte Bobcats have never experienced." Sounds cool. : Arkansas ain't Michigan. If this is true and they make him the offer and he decides to go you really can't be mad at him despite his professions of love for the players at Wake. Michigan is Michigan. Here's hoping he stays in the ACC!!! :"Wake Forest can move a step closer to its first national championship in men's soccer today if it can get past a hot Virginia Tech team in the NCAA College Cup semifinals in Cary. Second-seeded Wake Forest the highest seeded team left among the final four will compete No. 11 Virginia Tech at 5 p m in the first of two games at the SAS Soccer Complex. Unseeded Massachusetts will play No. 5 Ohio State the Big Ten back in the second game at 7 p m. and the winners will meet at 3 p m. Sunday." : "David Cutcliffe and Karl Dorrell have emerged as the top two candidates in that request as Duke’s search for its next football coach begins to show signs of winding down." : "Duke junior Martynas Pocius has been dealt another tough break but Pocius is determined to view it as a potential big break."

On occasion. I'll read some blogs or communicate boards to get some insight (I use that term lightly) and address sports with people since many of my friends aren't really into the whole "being a fan" deal. One of the topics that keeps coming up (especially after this upset-filled year) is college football's (just talking FBS here) best conference. I've heard a million arguments; some good some downright stupid. Then. I thought:You can't play football forever right? And they're student-athletes right? So which conference is best. in academics?I did a little math and got the GSR (Graduation Success evaluate) of all the Division 1 (FBS) teams* then found the averages of the individual conferences. Here's the lowdown. According to the NCAA's touch channel the GSR measures the aggroup's percentage of players who-began college between 1997-2000 and-graduated in six yearsThis is the third year that they've used the GSR formula instead of the Federal evaluate which counted transfers and players who left the team as non-graduates. This new formula makes it as if transfers and "droppers" never existed. Anyway:In descending order:ACC-73.16%MAC-68.23%Big Ten-66.45%Conference USA:65.33%Big East:64.38%Big XII:64.33%Mountain West:63.22%Sun Belt-62.71%**SEC-59.75%Pac 10-59.30%WAC-53.67Highest-Northwestern (Big 10. 94%)Lowest-San Jose St (Wac. 36%)*This doesn't including Navy. Army. Notre Dame or Western Kentucky as they're independents. To their credit. Navy. Army and ND undergo GSR's of over 90%.**This doesn't including FIU as their football program has only been around since 2002. Not sure if that helps or hurts their conference. It's settled. The ACC is the best conference.
