Did you know the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Championship game is tonight in Chattanooga, TN ? This year we have the 13-1 Villanova Wildcats fighting for their first ever championship against the 14-0 Montana Grizzlies. The Grizzlies are definitely the favorites tonight. They’ve won 12 straight Big Sky Conference titles and are making their fifth appearance in the national championship game this decade.
I’ll be honest – I’m looking at Montana’s roster and stats for the first time ever right now… all I can say is wow! They are impressive. The …

Enjoy!

Some of you may not know that Football Fanatics is headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. Tonight we have a HUGE Thursday Night NFL game here in town – the Indianapolis Colts vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Colts are 13-0 and have everything wrapped up, while the Jags are 7-6 and fighting for a Wildcard playoff spot. The weather is going to be horrendous, but this is a game the Jaguars must have.

There has been some talk the past few days about the Big Ten exploring expansion in the next 12-18 months. My guess is they would look to add one team so they’ll finally reach 12 teams. Then they can split the conference to two divisions and have a conference championship game. It will add an extra game to their schedule and make the conference more appealing. The PAC-10 is another conference that should look at expansion.

The Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans are sitting at 13-0 and have already clinched their divisions and the playoff spots that come with them. At 13-0, the Colts have earned homefield advantage throughout the playoffs, while the Saints still have the Vikings on their heels – but at this point it looks like the Saints will wrap up homefield too. This brings us to an important question: Should the Colts and Saints start resting players?

The 2010 BCS Bowl Games were announced yesterday and boy do we have some great contests this year. Not including the BCS National Championship game we have three undefeated teams playing in BCS Bowl Games – giving us 5 total. I’m not sure that has ever happened. Let’s take a quick look at the four BCS Bowl games coming up in early January.

You thought the Civil War was fought in the 1860s between the Union and the Confederacy, didn’t you? In the mind of a college football fan living in Oregon you’re completely wrong. The Civil War is an annual rivalry game between the No. 16 Oregon State Beavers and No. 7 Oregon Ducks. Normally, not much is riding on this game because USC always has the PAC-10 wrapped up – not this year. The winner will be PAC-10 champs and Rose Bowl bound.
