Resending our note to college presidents from a year ago
College Presidents,
With all but a few games between this season and the bowls, it is time to preview the morsels available for the college football fan to satisfy his/her hunger before the New Year’s Day Games. The best team in the land according to all [...]
Week 1 Roundup
Twenty-two of the Sportscrossfile.com Top 25 take care of business. Appalachia State carried the 1AA title into Ann Arbor, and stunned Michigan allowing critics to suggest the Big Ten would have trouble competing in that division. Our hats are off to the football players and coaches of Appalachian State University.
Clemson welcomed Florida State [...]

Florida wins recruiting championship
Holding off a late surge by USC and overcoming two last minute changes to Florida State and Miami, the University of Florida adds the National Football Recruiting Championship to their NCAA Football and Basketball titles. This is according to Rivals.com’s recruiting report.
The SEC took 7 of the top 10 spots in this year’s ranking. [...]
Florida Gets Their Shot!
The computers call it a draw and the people polls put the Gators above the Wolverines. Whether they voted for the Gators or for Ohio State not needing to beat Michigan twice, Florida now gets the shot to show if the SEC tough schedule can produce another national title. The pollsters save the BCS some [...]
Sports Crossfire Polls - Gators go to Number 2
The Sports Crossfire College Football Polls have the Gators vaulting past USC and Michigan into the 2nd slot and suggesting they will head to Arizona for a shot at Ohio State. 67% of Sports Crossfire fans vote against a playoff. Give someone else a shot. Don’t make Ohio State beat Michigan twice. [...]
Will they get it?
The Florida Gators earned the right to a shot at the NCAA Football Championship yesterday by winning their 12th game of the year yesterday against Arkansas. Going 7 and 1 in the difficult SEC with earlier wins against top 20 teams LSU and Tennessee are enough to put Florida into the Championship Game. [...]
Who should meet on Jan. 7th?
Who really knows? Pat Forde at ESPN says it’s all conjecture, stating, “I’d personally cast a vote in favor of Florida. I agree that a team should win its conference title to play for the national title. I don’t like the idea of putting the best team in America in double jeopardy [...]
Oh, what may have been?
If ever a season gave a taste of a playoff, 2006 was it. With number 1 meeting number 2 twice in the same season for the first time, we have already seen some big games. Last week’s Big Ten championship and a trip to the national championship game came down to the [...]
How about a rematch?
Don’t want one. Yes, the game would be another classic with enough hype to match the USC - Texas match-up of a year ago. Why not a playoff? And if you agree in a college playoff, you have to use the conference championships as one level of elimination. If you only had one or two [...]
Game of the Week, maybe Year
The much anticipated clash between Big Ten upbeatens in Columbus in now upon us. This should be an epic game and many think will decide the natiional championship. It will select one team to play for the title and disqualify the other.
At Sports Crossfire, our Top 25 and Computer Polls are split with [...]
