It has now been a week since the bowl games have ended, which means it is time for college football fans everywhere (except in Clemson, South Carolina) to start to put the season to bed and finish recapping it. While everyone looks back at the season, I prefer to look back at how each team […]

The first weekend without college football since last August is now upon us, which begins the toughest part of any college football fan’s year: the long wait until the next season is played. With the conclusion of the College Football Playoff national championship game, it will take just under eight months until we see actual […]

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 motto of the BCS used to be “every game matters.” The meaning was plain and clear, whether or not you agreed with its assessment. The point was that if a team wasn’t perfect, its chances of reaching the National Championship Game were now in the hands of the other teams that were still perfect. […]

College football has 40 scheduled FBS Bowl Games this year, with a National Championship Game to follow them all. Additionally, starting last year, ESPN put together a “HBCU National Championship” called the Celebration Bowl, to be contested between the champions of the two HBCU conferences. It’s not an FBS Bowl, though, so it won’t be ranked […]

At noon on Selection Sunday, the College Football Playoff selection committee will announce the four Playoff teams. Throughout the afternoon, bowl bids will trickle in and we will know where everyone is going by Sunday night at the latest. But I know that college football fans want to know where their team is going right […]

There is just one game left in the season, and there are true few scenarios left. In all honesty, only seven — maybe an eight, but we’ll get to that — schools have a real shot at the Playoff, and four of those are in the Big Ten. Alabama and Ohio State are locks. Clemson […]

We are down to the final weekend of the college football season. It’s conference championship weekend in every conference other than the Sun Belt and Big 12, which has a de facto championship game in Bedlam. It is clear that Alabama and Ohio State are Playoff locks, even if some are nervous about Ohio State […]

One out of the four College Football Playoff positions is clear. Alabama will be playing in a semifinal game, even if it loses to Florida in the SEC Championship Game. A second team is almost as clear. Ohio State is as consensus a No. 2 team as you can have. If this was the BCS […]

Texas has a new head coach. Bedlam will be a de factor conference championship game. West Virginia looks like a truly solid team, even if it hasn’t been proven over the course of this season because of a weak schedule. Sure, this was far from a banner year for the Big 12. In fact, until […]

Thanksgiving is an amazing day for football, though the professional variety rules the day. Aside from watching the Cowboys and/or Lions while enjoying family dinners, the best part about Thanksgiving for college football fans is knowing that the best regular-season weekend in college football starts the next day. Between Friday and Saturday, rivalry week is […]

There are just two weeks of college football left before the selection committee has to pick the four teams for the College Football Playoff. Well, I’m here to help the fans (and the committee) out in deciding how to compare these teams. It’s Bubble Watch time. There are 11 teams still alive in this week’s […]

The committee has been pretty inconsistent this season in how it adjusts its rankings from week to week. Two weeks ago, in its second rankings of the year, the committee went with chalk. Teams that lost dropped a few (inconsistent) places, while other teams just slid up to take those places. Last week, we saw […]
