Conference championship games are historically duds and should be replaced by an 8-team playoff

Theoretically, conference championship games should be awesome. In a 27-hour period, you’re essentially assured four top 25 games that have major College Football Playoff implications. Should be fun, right? Except it’s definitely not and historically, that’s always been the case. We’ll get into that in just a minute, but I’m guessing many of you awesome […]

President Trump declines invitation to fill out NCAA Tournament bracket on ESPN

It had been a yearly tradition under the Obama Administration, but appears to be dead in the Trump Administration. That was the filling out of the NCAA Tournament bracket. Under Barack Obama, the President would fill out both a men’s and women’s tournament bracket. President Donald Trump will do no such thing this March. [link_box […]

Despite loss, the Alabama Crimson Tide had an outstanding season

Even though the Alabama Crimson Tide didn’t win the national championship, the team still had an outstanding season. It also has a very bright future ahead of it. Please note that I’m not suggesting that this loss won’t sting throughout the offseason. It certainly will. The Tide took a 14-point lead in the second quarter, […]

For the second consecutive year, Alabama and Clemson clash for college football’s national championship. Will Monday’s result be different from last year’s 40-45 Crimson Tide victory? Like that last night in Florida on Spring Break before you head back to somewhere cold and miserable after a (insert anywhere from 8- to 16-hour drive), college football […]

Last time Iowa and Florida played in Outback Bowl, officiating ruined the game

The Iowa Hawkeyes and Florida Gators played 11 years ago in the Outback Bowl, one of the worst officiated games in college football history. The two teams match up again in the 2017 Outback Bowl. There are many games that college football fans immediately think of when asked to talk about poor officiating. The onside kick […]

The Clemson Tigers completely dominated Ohio State 31-0 at the Fiesta Bowl on Saturday night in Glendale, and now we’re set for a rematch of last year’s national title game vs Alabama. And, considering how well Dabo Swinney’s squad played on Saturday evening, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were to win this time. Make […]

Even though they closed out the year with an embarrassing 31-0 loss in the College Football Playoff, the Ohio State Buckeyes had a great season, and have a very bright future in front of them. Don’t get me wrong: I’m not saying that Saturday night’s loss won’t sting for a while. It certainly will. After […]

Alabama throttles Washington, moves one step closer to another national championship

The Alabama Crimson Tide are off to the CFP National Championship Game after destroying the Washington Huskies 24-7 in Saturday’s Peach Bowl.
