ACC Power Rankings after week 7

Ordinarily, I’d open up the week with a “5 Things We Learned About ACC Football” piece to discuss what transpired on the gridiron over the weekend. However, last week’s results showed that the league is one of the deepest in college football. Unlike some other conferences, there’s no such thing as an off week in […]

Week 7 CFP Implications: Extreme Separation at the Top

No, the title of this post is not just referring to Alabama. Most analysts and pundits right now think that Alabama is head and shoulders above everyone else in college football right now. And, that very well may be true. But, the top spot usually finds ways to work itself out. Even if Alabama runs […]

The Five Most Overrated Teams in the AP Top 25

The Top 25 is always a great source for discussion. Teams in the Top 25 can be overrated or underrated based on many things. Sometimes, voters base too much on what happened during the last week or on the teams record without really digging into their schedule. Here’s a look at the five teams that […]

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 […]

SEC Football: What we learned from week seven

Four conference games were on tap, including a Top 10 and a Top 25 match-up, and Mississippi State headed out west to face a stingy opponent. The result of the weekend came with one big surprise, a few disappointments and one great game. Here’s what we learned from week seven of the SEC season….. Don’t […]

Week 7 Big 12 Power Rankings

For the past six weeks, I have written a “what we learned” bit about the Big 12. After six weeks of learning things, I’m pretty sure we know a good amount about the conference. Now it’s time for us to rank the teams. As a real “power ranking,” my goal will be to focus much […]

Three Random Takeaways From Week 7

Week 7 was certainly an exciting one, with many games going right down to the wire. Here are a three random takeaways from this weekend’s action on the gridiron. 1. There is no quarterback controversy at Notre Dame. As soon as Brian Kelly pulled DeShone Kizer from the lineup in the third quarter, everyone on […]

Three Points from Ohio State’s win over Wisconsin

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 […]

Dan Mullen couldn’t find answers on his play sheet, and his team once again moved the ball with painful slowness when trailing by two possessions late in the fourth quarter, much like the Alabama loss a few weeks ago. Mississippi State has still had a successful season, yes, but the Bulldogs look so ordinary at the moment, recalling much of their tortured past.

Mississippi State Bulldogs face “must win” game against BYU Cougars

The Mississippi State Bulldogs face a “must win” game against the BYU Cougars on Friday night. That’s not to say the Dawgs are playing for Dan Mullen’s job. They aren’t. Sure, Mullen has been on the hot seat ever since the team dropped the season opener to South Alabama. But, it seems highly unlikely that […]

The Houston Cougars are not dead in the College Football Playoff race

Believe it or not, the Houston Cougars are not dead in the College Football Playoff race. Make no mistake about it: the Cougars’ hopes of playing for a crystal football took a huge hit with the loss to Navy last weekend. As a result of this crushing defeat, Houston needs for the Midshipmen to lose […]

It’s time to start talking about Boise State in playoff terms

So hey, remember Boise State? They’ve been really good for a long time. In fact, they have the most wins and best winning percentage of any team since 2000. In all of college football. They’re 169-31 since the turn of the century, good for 82 percent wins. At some point, the CFB Playoff committee isn’t […]

Stanford, Notre Dame meet at different ends of the desperation spectrum

It wasn’t supposed to be this way, and at least recently, hasn’t been. For Stanford and Notre Dame, this weekend’s meeting will be the first time since 2009 that the two will meet both as unranked teams. In fact, it’d be the first time since 2010 that BOTH don’t enter the game ranked. The shine […]
