Dress up as Kinnick Stadium for Halloween, and you’ll forever get candy in Columbus, East Lansing, and Happy Valley, kids. Iowa stunned third-ranked Michigan, 14-13 on a field goal as time ran out and buried the field with black and yellow-clad hysterical fans, throwing college football and the Big Ten West into utter upheaval. It’s […]

Sorry NFL teams. Jim Harbaugh’s not leaving for you or anyone else

Just call Jim Harbaugh the new Nick Saban of coaching rumors. We got started a little earlier this year than probably assumed, but you can count on some variation of this being an annual thing: Reports: (Insert NFL team names here) to make a run at Jim Harbaugh. If you’re a Michigan fan, just embrace […]

In Shea Patterson, Ole Miss could find light in a dark 2016

It wasn’t supposed to be like this for Ole Miss. Sure, they had holes to fill, but they had far and away the most stable quarterback situation in the conference and a load of talent from several years of Hugh Freeze’s elite recruiting. Now, at 4-5 with three games to go, a team once considered […]

The Five Biggest Games the Rest of the Season

Breaking news: College football is almost over. When you’re done weeping (what are we going to do with our Saturdays … house work!?) with the fact that we have only a month left, understand that this has been an incredible season with the best plot twists yet to come. The 2016 season seems like it’s […]

Annual reminder: take the CFB Playoff Rankings Show for what it is – Entertainment

0 comments by on 11/1/2016

The first 2016 CFB Playoff rankings came out Tuesday night, and with it, the usual wailing and gnashing of teeth about who is where and what goes on in the either sober or completely drunken minds of the committee unveiling them, depending on your side. But annually, we do this dance, freaking out about these […]

Why does it feel like we’re all sleeping on Clemson?

0 comments by on 10/30/2016

The truth is, how much “Team X” is over or under hyped usually depends on where you live and what media you pay attention to. So this could be total rubbish, or it could have a kernel of truth, but it feels like we’re all sleeping on Clemson. There may be no more impressive resume […]

Wolverines clip mistake-prone Spartans, change the guard for a year

0 comments by on 10/29/2016

It’s important to not be too hyperbolic about singular games or events, but if in the end this is the official passing of the torch in the state of Michigan’s college football back to the Wolverines, the symbolic play when it all happened was in the first half, tied at 7. In Michigan territory, the […]

PSU tops OSU in a game that meant everything and nothing all at once

So if you had the Cubs going to the World Series and Penn State over Ohio State tonight, congrats, and I’d like to spend some time on your new yacht the size of Vermont. But here we are, Penn State as 24-21 victors over the Buckeyes in the most shocking result of this current college […]

Alabama rolls over Texas A&M in second half, stays unbeaten

0 comments by on 10/22/2016

Alabama found themselves down in a football game for a change, and they decidedly didn’t care much for the feeling. After TAMU wide receiver Christian Kirk hauled in a Trevor Knight pass to make it 14-13, Aggies, the Crimson Tide went on a 20-point roll that’d not only (obviously) save their season, but one that […]

Nebraska smokes out Purdue, sets up de-facto Big Ten West title game vs Wisconsin

0 comments by

Well, we’re likely to know who the Big Ten West representative is by about 10 p.m. this time next week. Nebraska outlasted Purdue (score) after letting the Boilers, who got the “first game interim coach bump” with Gerad Parker getting his first game at the helm, setting up a season-defining tilt with Wisconsin (17-9 winners […]

Oregon may be the rare case of needed hasty coaching change

0 comments by

Anyone who has read this spot for a few years (all 17 of you) knows that this isn’t a hotbed of columns about potential coaching changes. Many folks who write about college football are fairly cavalier about “hot seat” lists and the like, which is fine since people want to read it, but this spot […]

Pac 12 Football: 5 Lessons Learned from Week 7

0 comments by on 10/17/2016

With only five games on the Pac-12 slate this past weekend, the conference is doing this weekly column no favors in forcing it to extract broad sweeping ideas from a small sample size. Oh well, on with the show. 1. Sam Darnold looks like the real deal Darnold didn’t start until the fourth game of […]

CHAMPAIGN, IL – OCTOBER 08: Head coach Darrell Hazell of the Purdue Boilermakers watches the winning field goal kick being made against the Illinois Fighting Illini at Memorial Stadium on October 8, 2016 in Champaign, Illinois.

The top 5 reasons Darrell Hazell didn’t work out at Purdue

0 comments by

At one point during Saturday’s Ohio State – Wisconsin game, the Aflac (advertise, please) trivia question came on about which Big Ten team was the last to defeat three top 10 conference teams in a season. The answer was 2003 Michigan, to which surprise was elicited to know that Purdue was one of those teams. We […]

Why isn’t Brian Kelly winning anymore at Notre Dame?

In any professional relationship in life, business will always try to do better if they can. “Better” isn’t just a one-off in terms of talent. Does someone else have more talent? Okay. Do they fit in with the culture you have set? Do they cost more/less? Do they have a higher ceiling? All those things […]

Three Points from Ohio State’s win over Wisconsin

0 comments by on 10/16/2016

In a game that had the feel of some sort of Big Ten semi-final tilt if there was such a thing, Ohio State outlasted Wisconsin in Camp Randall in overtime, 30-23. It could be a preview of the actual Big Ten Championship Game, but that’ll take some doing on both sides. At any rate, we […]
