Back in January we highlighted five teams that we considered “sleepers” who might make a difference in this year’s NCAA championship tourney. As I watched the madness on CBS Saturday, they showed the “power conference” teams to watch in this year’s tournament. Here’s a little more info on each squad along with my thoughts on what to expect from them. We also have pics, vids, and a poll that you can vote on, so put on your bracketology hat and start anal-lyzing.

Ohio State? USC? Florida? The answer might surprise you. After Auburn finished the season undefeated (for the second time since 2000) and won the BCS National Championship, many asked where this team stands amongst the best of the past 10 years. Auburn’s conference, the SEC, has been consistently hailed as the best in D-1, yet they don’t have any schools among the top five with the best winning percentages since 2000. Of the top 25 programs of the last 11 years, five are from the ACC, four are from the Big 10, four are from the Big 12 and four are from the SEC, according to ESPN.com. So who ARE the top college football programs from 2000-2010? Check out the chart after the jump!

The NHL had the bright idea of playing the “Winter Classic” outside at venues not typically used for hockey. The concept has since been adopted by the NCAA with ridiculous results. After this past weekend’s pretty awesome Illinois-Northwestern game at Wrigley and Notre Dame-Army game at Yankee Stadium, we at COED got to thinking: what other non-football venues would make for cool college football matchups?

Last week, Oregon barely survived Cal, Auburn didn’t pull away from Georgia, San Diego State gave TCU all it could handle, Gamecocks cold-cocked the Gators. This week’s matchups feature a pair of ‘Eyes in Ohio State vs. Iowa, a couple of clawed woodland creatures with Michigan facing Wisconsin, a Cali rivalry, Hogs and Bulldogs, and stormy weather for the Hokies. Who will win? Click through to find out!

Week 8 certainly had its share of fireworks. Another #1 bit the dust and Auburn earned the right to be the next BCS #1 with a win over LSU. This week one of the best rivalries in the nation will take place for the 88th time as the Florida Gators take on the Georgia Bulldogs; otherwise known as the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.

The Wisconsin Badgers upset the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Texas Longhorns upset Nebraska and Heisman hopefuls had a shootout in the highest scoring non-overtime game in the SEC. This week’s top games feature Auburn/LSU, Nebraska/Oklahoma State, Wisconsin/Iowa, and Oklahoma/Missouri. Here are some cheerleaders to get you pumped!

If you bet a case of beer your team would win because you thought there wasn’t a Gamecocks chance in Tuscaloosa your boys would lose last weekend you probably came up disappointed and 24 brewdogs lighter. Looking to this Saturday, there are a number of match-ups that you don’t want to miss so belly up to the bar because it’s going to be a long day.

This weekend features a number of top 25 match-ups around the nation. When all is said and done, there will be some seriously disappointed fans as their dreams of a national championship blow away like Dust in the Wind – CUE WILL FERRELL!
