I generally regard collegefootballnews.com to be one on the most accurate and unbiased CFB sites. That is until I saw this. This is no lie, I just cut and pasted the top 8 "news" links. WTF?

Those are just blogs from turds, not any of their regular writers. They're still well respected in my book. Any dickhead can write a blog, well, except Trey McNeil.

And there is this gem....

He loses all credibility with me when he talks about the weak schedule. Doesn't anybody remember the H/H with Texas, or playing #2 Michigan or the upcoming series with USC....:smash:

Scout.com: Blog ... Is Jim Tressel A Big Game Coach?

Blog ... Is Jim Tressel A Big Game Coach?

There's no question Jim Tressel has led Ohio State to glory in his first seven seasons. With that being said the last two national title losses coupled with the loss to Illinois in the horseshoe make many question does he still have what it takes to win the big game?


[SIZE=-1]By[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]Sean Jackson[/SIZE]
Jim Tressel has taken an Ohio State team on the verge of being elite, and made them elite. Over the past five years the Buckeyes have played in three national title games and been constantly at the top of the polls. Tressel has developed a solid foundation of great players churning out All- American after All-American giving the Buckeyes the opportunity to be the best year in and year out. Aside from Pete Carroll, no one has come close to the success Jim Tressel has achieved in college football over the last 5 years. With that being said after the last two title games and the way they lost to Illinois in the horseshoe people are confused and wondering can Tressel still win the big game?

Argument for: Tressel?s resume during his first seven seasons at Ohio State is amazing, He?s led the Buckeyes to a 73-16 record, to three BCS national title games, (one of which they won, a fact forgotten by most people recently), to five BCS games, to four Big Ten titles and a 6-1 record against Michigan. He is 8-3 versus top 10 teams and 25-8 versus ranked teams. Tressel led the underdog Buckeyes to a huge upset win over Miami in 2003, which at the time had a 34 game winning streak, and possessed more NFL talent than the Detroit Lions have fielded in a decade. They also beat a very good Michigan team in 2006, and have managed to win the majority of games they are suppose to win, granted their schedule has been suspect as of late. One has to wonder if Jim Tressel is that good of a coach or has gotten lucky over the last few years playing in a weak Big Ten and having some pretty ridiculous non-conference schedules. With this being said this is a what have you done for me lately business and lately he hasn?t delivered.

It was interesting, when I was reading their team previews a link on every one of them had a "Do you want to BLOG on your favorite conference". I was wondering what they were doing. Well, now we found out.

It seems like they want to be the launching point for every college blog out there. Really it is a smart marketing idea. If any blog wants to increase it's traffic get CFN to link to your site. Plus CFN gets all the cross traffic from these blogs.

The only problem is you will get some really bad blogs linked to a very good college football site.

So like Brutus1, I will just ignore these blogs and keep reading the regular staff writers that are very good.

I wrote a letter.

I love their typical stuff but these blogs are horrendous.

Fiutak's Cavalcade of Whimsy is probably my favorite college football column on the internet.

The Scarlet Colored Glasses blog made me embarrassed to be a Buckeye.
