SCS.comTHE BEST OF THE BEST IN COLLEGE HOOPS
January 31, 2007
By Matthew, SCS.com Staff Writer
With conference play in full swing, I thought it might be fun to look at some of the “bests” of college basketball. Most of the college hoops nation would agree on who the best overall players are, so we’re not going to go there. I’m talking about fan loyalty and what true college basketball fans believe to be the best things about this season and its teams. Usually when you start to have a conversation about these things, some fans....[MORE]

SCS.comIT'S NEVER TOO EARLY TO LOOK AT MARCH
January 30, 2007
By Jeff, SCS.com Staff Writer
Let’s face it: NCAA Tournament pools are won by people who pick the right sleepers to reach the Final Four, and those that have the foresight to spot a high-seeded bust when they see them. Those cute, 12-over-5 upset picks that everyone in your office had? That doesn’t do it. The big money (figuratively speaking, right?) is made when you choose the middle-range seeded team that makes a deep run, or when you have a....[MORE]

SCS.comA LOOK INSIDE A 'SUPER' WEEK OF HOOPS
January 29, 2007
By Jonathan, SCS.com Editor
Teams continue to separate themselves from the pack all across the country as the calendar prepares to roll over to the month of February. The Big East will play host to a pair of the upcoming week's biggest contests, as league-leading Pittsburgh travels to Villanova on Monday before Syracuse welcomes in Notre Dame on Tuesday. Wednesday features a number of must-see matchups, like Ohio State's trip to Purude....[MORE]

SCS.comBASEBALL PREVIEW: THE ACC
January 27, 2007
By Eddie, SCS.com Staff Writer
Last year was a banner year for the ACC. The conference sent seven teams to the postseason, and four teams hosted regionals. Clemson, North Carolina, Georgia Tech, and Miami all advanced to Omaha, and the Tar Heels played for the national title. The 2007 season looks to be yet another fantastic year for the ACC. Four teams are in the top ten, with all four (Clemson, UNC, Miami, and Virginia) all arguably top-five caliber....[MORE]

SCS.comFINAL HOOPS WEEKEND OF JANUARY ARRIVES
January 26, 2007
By Ben, SCS.com Staff Writer
Month one of college hoops conference play is already coming to a close, and while some questions have been answered over the course of the past few weeks of action, it actually seems as if there have been an even greater number of questions formed. One team that would fall into that category would be the Arizona Wildcats, who play host to North Carolina Saturday in the biggest non-conference game of the weekend....[MORE]

SCS.comA MID-SEASON LOOK AT BRACKETOLOGY
January 26, 2007
By Ben, SCS.com Staff Writer
As March 11th (or as hoops fans like to call it, Selection Sunday) draws nearer and nearer, teams, players, and fans are beginning to ask the big question. Who’s in, and who’s out? For your very benefit, there is something called bracketology. Usually “experts” like to wait until a week or so before Selection Sunday to broadcast who they think is in the dance or on the bubble, but I thought it’d be fun to give you an early....[MORE]

SCS.comBASEBALL PREVIEW: THE PAC-10
January 25, 2007
By Eddie, SCS.com Staff Writer
The Pac-10 may have had a down year as a whole last season. Only four teams made the NCAA Tournament, and traditional powers USC and Stanford struggled. But the self-proclaimed 'Conference of Champions' was represented well in the end, with the Oregon State Beavers claiming their first national title and the conference's 25th overall. This year, the Beavers may be down, but the conference is up again and ready to....[MORE]

SCS.comQUICK PREVIEW: THIS WEEK IN ACC HOOPS
January 24, 2007
By Matthew, SCS.com Staff Writer
Conference play in the ACC has started up, and there have already been some big-time games and upsets. Many teams are panning out just the way everyone thought they would, but there are a few who have exceeded expectations. Likewise, there are a few that have not fared as well as most people thought. Who would have guessed that Virginia Tech would be as dominant as they have been so far? Even with a loss at home....[MORE]

SCS.comWHICH TEAMS HAVE GOT THE RIGHT STUFF?
January 23, 2007
By Jeff, SCS.com Staff Writer
With a single look at the college basketball landscape this season, one thing is clear immediately: the parity is unbelievable. On any given night, there are probably about forty or fifty teams that can beat one another. And honestly, that really isn’t too much of an exaggeration. Just take a look at the RPI rankings for a few examples. USC, the #60 team in the RPI, has wins over Arizona (#3), Oregon (#12), and was one....[MORE]

SCS.comBASEBALL PREVIEW: THE REST
January 23, 2007
By Eddie, SCS.com Staff Writer
Covering over 30 conferences and 300 Division I schools would be just a little time-consuming, but don't think that we at SCS.com have forgotten about the teams and conferences that aren't getting full previews. There are a few teams on this list that may not fulfill their expectations, and there are also a few not on this list that will make some noise this season. Trust me, if I had the time to, I'd give even more teams some love....[MORE]

SCS.comHITTING STRIDE IN COLLEGE HOOPS
January 22, 2007
By Jonathan, SCS.com Editor
The final full week of the month of January is upon us, which means we're right in the thick of things in terms of college hoops conference play. The past week saw a number of upsets all across the country as the word "parity" again presents itself loud and clear. Another crucial week of basketball has arrived, and it too features a slate of games dominated by in-conference action. Perhaps the biggest game of the week is a....[MORE]

SCS.comBASEBALL PREVIEW: BIG WEST & WEST COAST
January 20, 2007
By Ben, SCS.com Staff Writer
College baseball is just around the corner, and the west has plenty to look forward to this season. The Big West and the West Coast Conferences are just as solid as the Pac-10 but are often overshadowed. Cal State-Fullerton, Long Beach State, UC-Irvine, Pepperdine, and San Diego are all NCAA caliber teams. Fullerton is fresh off another CWS appearance and will be a very good team again this year, while Pepperdine is....[MORE]

SCS.comWILD WEEKEND OF HOOPS NOW UPON US
January 19, 2007
By Jonathan, SCS.com Editor
While most of the sports nation's attention will be on the NFL playoffs this weekend as that league looks to decide its Super Bowl matchup, there will be a full slate of big-time college hoops on the agenda as well. Conference play continues to roll along and will feature a number of crucial matchups in the days ahead, like the ACC battles between Boston College and Clemson, and Georgia Tech and North Carolina....[MORE]

SCS.comBASEBALL PREVIEW: CUSA & BIG TEN
January 18, 2007
By Eddie, SCS.com Staff Writer
It may just be the middle of winter, but baseball is right around the corner, and it's now time to preview Conference USA and the Big Ten. CUSA is looking to cement itself as the best league outside of the "big four" (ACC, SEC, Big 12, and Pac-10). It features potentially the nation's top team, along with several other quality squads. The Big Ten isn't the big-time league on the diamond that it is on the gridiron and hardwood....[MORE]

SCS.com10 GAMES THAT WILL SHAKE THINGS UP
January 17, 2007
By Ben, SCS.com Staff Writer
With conference schedules only a few weeks into play, league standings couldn’t be more shaken up. You would have to be a psychic to be able to pick a conference winner right now - from any league. Luckily, there are some top-notch conference matchups this week to tell us a little more about what we need to know as far as the favorite to win each conference. From top 15 showdowns in the ACC, Big 12, and Pac-10 to battles....[MORE]

SCS.comBASEBALL PREVIEW: SOUTHERN AND SUN BELT
January 17, 2007
By Ben, SCS.com Staff Writer
It's mid-January now, and that means it's time to begin looking ahead to the upcoming college baseball season. SCS.com begins the 2007 preview with an in-depth look into a pair of up-and-coming conferences. The Southern Conference favorite appears to be College of Charleston, a 2006 Super Regional participant, while Louisiana-Lafayette and South Alabama appear to have the early edge in the Sun Belt this spring....[MORE]

SCS.comWHO COULD BE THIS YEAR'S GEORGE MASON?
January 16, 2007
By Jeff, SCS.com Staff Writer
After last season’s NCAA Tournament where we saw the Missouri Valley Conference get four bids, George Mason reach the Final Four, and Bradley and Wichita State make it to the Sweet Sixteen, everyone is looking for the mid-major darkhorses. With a couple of weeks of conference play finished, the picture is starting to become clearer in several conferences. However, for the one-bid conferences, their March Madness starts....[MORE]

SCS.comHUGE WEEK OF HOOPS ON THE HORIZON
January 15, 2007
By Jonathan, SCS.com Editor
With the month of January now at its midpoint, teams all across the country are settling into the conference play routine. Some squads are falling by the wayside, while others are proving they are worthy of the hype they garnered with impressive non-conference victories earlier in the season. As a new week approaches and we head towards the back half of January, there is another huge slate of hoops action....[MORE]

SCS.comCOLLEGE HOOPS STEPS INTO THE SPOTLIGHT
January 12, 2007
By Jonathan, SCS.com Editor
With the college football season complete, NCAA basketball now steps to the front, and that newfound attention coincides with the beginning of conference play all across the country. Many teams have gotten their feet wet in recent days, but the grinding begins for good in the weeks ahead, making for a long journey to March as teams look to prove themselves worthy of league titles and NCAA bids. Among the top matchups....[MORE]

SCS.comWHO'S GOT THE EARLY EDGE IN THE BIG SIX?
January 11, 2007
By Jeff, SCS.com Staff Writer
With 2006 in our rear-view mirror, conference play kicked into full swing this past week in nearly every conference. The “Big Six” conferences started out with a bang, as four top ten teams fell in the early part of league play, including unbeaten UCLA losing to Oregon (whose undefeated run was stopped by USC just a few days earlier), and Virginia Tech defeating Duke at Cameroon Indoor Stadium. This might be....[MORE]

SCS.comWHAT WE LEARNED IN WEEK 1 OF LEAGUE PLAY
January 10, 2007
By Matthew, SCS.com Staff Writer
College basketball has stepped up to a new level after the first week of league play for the major conferences. There were some pretty good matchups for it being the first week of conference play, and the rankings have already been shaken up. Not only were the rankings rattled, they were rattled by some of the less talented (or so we thought) teams in some of the power conferences. If this trend continues, there will be....[MORE]

SCS.comPAIR OF SEC SQUADS TOP FINAL FAB 15
January 9, 2007
By SouthernCollegeSports.com Staff
After trouncing Ohio State in the BCS Championship Game Monday night, the Florida Gators will finish the season ranked number one in the SCS.com Fab 15, as voted on by the site's staff. SEC rival LSU moved up a couple of places to finish second, while Ohio State - who had topped the poll since August - dropped to number three. Unbeaten Boise State leaped to number four after their miraculous win over Oklahoma....[MORE]

SCS.comHOOPS HEATS UP AS FOOTBALL WINDS DOWN
January 8, 2007
By Jonathan, SCS.com Editor
While most of the nation's attention will be on Glendale, Arizona and the BCS championship game Monday evening, the focus will soon shift to college hoops in the days ahead as conference play begins to hit stride and pretenders fall by the wayside. After a light schedule of action to begin the week, Tuesday offers a full plate of top games, such as West Virginia's trip to Notre Dame and Arkansas' visit to Florida. Also on Tuesday....[MORE]

SCS.comSCS.COM BOWL PREVIEW SERIES: TITLE GAME
January 6, 2007
By SouthernCollegeSports.com Staff
Sure, it doesn't have a fancy name like the Super Bowl, or even something catchy like the World Series or March Madness. And yes, we still don't have a playoff system. (Don't remind us.) But it is what it is, and what we have is a BCS Title Game, this season's version pitting the unbeaten Ohio State Buckeyes against the once-beaten Florida Gators. The matchup has been set for more than a month, and thankfully, it's about time....[MORE]

SCS.comSCS.COM BOWL PREVIEW SERIES: PART XII
January 4, 2007
By David, SCS.com Staff Writer
Not only did the BCS National Championship move back to a week into the month of January, it brought along a couple of weekend games to warm us back up to college football after the New Year's bash. The underrated MAC has four bowl teams this season, and two of them play in these final two non-BCS bowls. The first bowl game will be played outside of the United States, is aptly named the International Bowl, and pairs....[MORE]

SCS.comHOT SEAT WARMING UP FOR COACHES
January 3, 2007
By Jeff, SCS.com Staff Writer
Coaching in any sport has to be one of the toughest jobs out there. However, coaching college sports is the worst when it comes to stress and lack of job security. For example, in college basketball, one has to worry about keeping the fan base happy, the boosters happy, recruiting, getting to the NCAA Tournament, winning conference championships, and more. Moreover, depending on which program he is at, that coach....[MORE]

SCS.comSCS.COM BOWL PREVIEW SERIES: THE SUGAR
January 2, 2007
By Gregg, SCS.com Staff Writer
Notre Dame enters this Sugar Bowl battle with LSU focused on ending the program’s eight-game bowl losing streak, which dates back to the 1994 Cotton Bowl where the Irish recorded a win over Texas A&M. Meanwhile, LSU is one of the hottest teams in the nation, as they have won their last six games to earn a BCS bowl bid. The Bayou Bengals will be making their seventh consecutive bowl appearance after winning 10 games....[MORE]

SCS.comNEW YEAR, CONFERENCE PLAY BEGIN TOGETHER
January 1, 2007
By Jonathan, SCS.com Editor

SCS.comSCS.COM BOWL PREVIEW SERIES: THE ORANGE
January 1, 2007
By Matt, SCS.com Staff Writer
The Orange Bowl will have two eleven-win teams fighting it out for respect. Louisville wants to show the college football world that the Big East should be taken seriously, while Wake Forest wants to prove that their season was no fluke and that they are a serious contender. The Deacons will have no problem playing the underdog role in this game. They have been doing it all year without the respect of college football fans and experts....[MORE]
