'NCAA Football 14': OU, Stillwater, and Georgia Tech to the SEC Dynasty Mode Build Season 1, Part 18—Week 15: Oklahoma Bye Week #3 & Final Conference Standings
To be fair that's really the only games of critical importance this week. TCU already has the Big XII Title with a 4-1 Conference Record as Iowa State, Kansas State, and Kansas fell to 3-2 Conference Records. But TCU needs to avoid FCS Embarrassment to have an outside shot at the 8 Team Playoff Version. For the BCS Version they might have a BCS Bid locked up from the At Large Bids, but we'll see.

'NCAA Football 14': OU, Stillwater, and Georgia Tech to the SEC Dynasty Mode Build Season 1, Part 17— Week 14: Bedlam
So hello there again, it's been a rough time lately as I've been working 6 Days out of every 8 for the past several weeks hence how this has been so deeply delayed. In that time in real life preparations for the 2020 season we've basically lost the entire non-conference schedule, and the entire season hangs on life support. Baseball is floundering proving that Football looks less and less realistic for the fall, at least without committing to bubbles. Which since as many have been saying lately 'College Football is still trying to live in dreamland hoping this will work out'. Personally I think if this season is going to happen each Power 5 Conference should bubble up at the Current-Conference-Champions' Campuses and go from there.

HBCUs and ESports: A Perfect Match?
My name is Herb Seward, and I'm a gamer. Video games have been part of my life since I was blessed enough to get my hands on an Atari 2600 console. I'm also a product of an HBCU (Historically Black College and University). Video games, much like everywhere else, became part of the cultural fabric of this country during the last decade or two. We've seen video games grow from two player games like Pong, to a multi-billion dollar industry where really proficient players are plying their trade at both the collegiate and professional level. E-Sports has become a global phenomenon in a pretty short period of time. Professional teams and players in a variety of gaming genres are front and center in the media eye at an increasing pace. There's also a vibrant and growing collegiate E-Sports scene that's starting to take root here.
