If there's one thing you can count on in college football, it's that momentum changes everything. Just ask the Oregon State Beavers--a team that in the past few years has nearly upset some major competition (we're thinking of two games in the 2004 season where the Beavers came this close to upsetting both LSU and USC, only to blow it in the end). Momentum changes are hard to quantify; certainly a big play--a huge touchdown run, a key interception--can change a team's fortunes in a heartbeat. But there's also the every-down grinding that can slowly see the football fates turn on a favorite and lift the underdog to glory, or just as easily, grind that same overachieving team into dust. Momentum is an essential and ineffable slice of college football, and it will make its presence strongly felt in the upcoming NCAA Football 07 from EA Sports. "
