- Nebraska Cornhuskers Legend Tom Osborne By:-Freddie Brister
In the course of the last half century, there has not been a college football program that has seen more success in terms of wins than the Nebraska Cornhuskers. As one of only seven NCAA football programs to garner 800 or more wins in their history, the Cornhuskers have been a college football power for most of their 119 seasons, holding the fourth highest number of wins in Division 1 football. In addition, they have achieved five national championships, with three of those coming in the last quarter century. Those three national titles were earned under the guidance and tutelage of the legendary Thomas "Tom" Osborne, who coached the Nebraska Cornhuskers between 1973 and 1997.

- Utah Utes - The BCS Sees Urban Renewal By:-Freddie Brister
The one thing that is for certain about college sports is that change often takes time. The NCAA's Bowl Championship Series is one example of that. Since the founding of the BCSA system, preference in postseason BCS match ups had initially been given to what were (and still are) considered the major Conferences in college football - the SEC, Big Eight, Big Ten, Pac-10, and so on. As most fans of the game know, however, recent years have seen several teams from smaller conferences finally being given the attention they deserve by the BCS, with last year's Texas Christian and Boise State teams being the best example of that trend. The true breakthrough for the BCS, however, began years before, beginning with the Utah Utes' hiring of Urban Meyer for two seasons as Head Coach. Utah, a Mountain West Conference member, was not eligible for an automatic selection in a BCS game, and like other teams from the smaller conferences, had never been invited to play in one. Breaking that BCS wall would be one of Urban Meyer's greatest accomplishments as coach.
- Southern Cal Trojans - The Carroll Years By:-Freddie Brister
Since 1888, the University of Southern California (USC) ad fielded a college football team. From the beginning of the program, they have been a winning program that regularly dominated their Pac-10 Conference opponents. In addition to many conference titles, the team has also won 11 national crowns, competed for many others, and remained one of the most consistently high-ranked teams in the modern game. The last decade has been one of their best, as they have established a home in the upper echelon of the AP and BCS polls, while appearing in the top 10 of every other poll. It is worth noting that at least part of that decade of success occurred during the years in which Pete Carroll was coaching the Trojans.
- Boise State Broncos - Football's Field Of Blue By:-Freddie Brister
There is one thing for sure about the Boise State Broncos football team - it is one of the toughest in the nation. With talented players at every position, the kids in the blue and orange uniforms have earned a place in the national spotlight - and it's one that they appear unlikely to relinquish anytime soon. Of course, playing in the Western Athletic Conference doesn't provide quite the level of national exposure that a team can garner in the SEC or Big Twelve, so the Broncos have had their work cut out for them as they struggled to be taken as seriously as they deserve. Even after posting an undefeated 13 victory season in 2006 - which culminated in their dismantling of the Sooners team in that year's Fiesta Bowl, ad still another undefeated season in 2009, most analysts and fans still doubted that the team was deserving of a berth on the national championship ticket. That didn't happen, unfortunately, so the Broncos still fee that they have not yet gotten all of the attention that they deserve. One area in which they always manage to capture the football world's eye, however, is their football field. It's a gorgeous shade of... blue. Yes, that's right - blue.
