The NCAA regularly has behemoths in the league that come out at the beginning of the season and look unbeatable. Some of these teams will even extend this winning tradition into years of dominance. This has happened to the Alabama Crimson Tide under Nick Saban who has become the best Alabama coach since Bear Bryant.

The NCAA is another week in and there were more surprises as there always are in the NCAA from week to week. More teams would make their mark on the season while players would show what they were made of. Some players would move up the Heisman rankings while others would fall out of sight. With all of the action this week one game stood out as something special though as the Notre Dame and Michigan Game highlighted the day.

The NCAA season is all but over as many teams will not be playing another game while others will be moving to their championship games. The regular season is over and the dust is beginning to settle on the 2012 season. It was a classic season where little was predictable and the top spot seemed almost cursed. First it was Alabama who seemed unbeatable until Johnny Football came along and led the Texas A&M Aggies to a win over the Tide.

There is only one thing constant in the NCAA and that is that there will be upsets and that they cannot be predicted. It seemed this year that there was going to be one constant though as the Alabama Crimson Tide looked unbeatable. After losing one game in 2011 they still made the National Championship and won it all.

The NCAA season is coming close to the midway point which means that the BCS rankings are just around the corner. Games become more important with every week as the next loss could put a team too far back to recover and push their way back to the top and into the national title picture. As each games get more important the games also get much better with conference play heating up and some teams unable to avoid some of the best teams.

Rivalry games have been around every single sport whether it be professional football, hockey, baseball, or even amateur sports. They can be a result of a storied history between the two clubs like the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers rivalry in the NFL. They can come as a result of a recent playing history of very important games like the Chicago Blackhawks and Vancouver Canucks in the NHL. They can also come as a result of two cities hate for each other like the New York and Boston rivalry that exists in every sport

The NCAA has been full of controversy in the past years with more than their fair share of scandals. The majority of these scandals deal with the many recruiting violations that have plagued the NCAA over the past few years. There is one team that has kept out of the spotlight for infractions have been the Penn State Nittany Lions. Under head coach Joe Paterno, who is the winningest coach in NCAA history and the longest tenured coach with 60 years at Penn State, the Lions have been clean.
