0 comments by on 9/20/2016

Thanks to an action-packed weekend, this week’s poll will look much different than it did a week ago. Please forgive us that it’s running a day later than usual, but Terry was sick and didn’t cast his ballot until Tuesday morning. Feel free to insert a “Your archrival played so poorly that it literally made […]

Week 3 CFP Implications: Big 12 in Big Trouble

0 comments by

All everyone is talking about right now is the Big 12 and whether the conference is out of the Playoff already. Well, that talk is a little bit premature, but that doesn’t mean that things look good for the conference right now. The Big 12 has a serious problem. With only three non-conference wins against […]

Big 12 Football: 5 Things We Learned in Week 3

0 comments by

The Big 12 did not have the best of weeks on the field this past weekend, though there were some bright spots. Still, many are writing the conference out of the Playoff and it did not help at all when this stat was bandied about over the weekend: Big 12 is 2-10 in 2016 vs. […]

Mark Dantonio knows what he’s doing… but Michigan State does need to be more vigilant in fourth quarters. Is this a crisis? Probably not. Is this a concern? Definitely. Is this a mere blip on the radar screen? Quite possibly.

Five B1G Things We Learned — Post Week 3

Well that was fun. This past Saturday looked like a dumpster fire in the early window for the Big Ten with nearly every national media type ready to declare the Big Ten an overhyped conference. But then the script flipped on the way to press — the Big Ten more than taking care of business […]

Jacob Eason leads Georgia Bulldogs to win over Missouri

0 comments by on 9/18/2016

Thanks to a strong effort from Jacob Eason, the Georgia Bulldogs defeated the Missouri Tigers 28-27 on Saturday night. That’s not to say that the Dawg defense doesn’t deserve a few helmet stickers for this victory. Sure, it gave up 471 yards, but the numbers don’t tell the whole story. The UGA D completely stuffed […]

Three points from Michigan State’s win over Notre Dame

0 comments by

Much to the chagrin of the rest of the Big Ten, it appears Michigan State’s penchant for being really, really good even when you don’t necessarily expect them to be has carried on past the Connor Cook era. The Spartans waltzed into South Bend against top-20 Notre Dame and hung an Irish pelt on the […]

Hail Scary: Michigan outlasts Colorado, who is for real

0 comments by on 9/17/2016

If you were to do the oft-overused comparison of a dumpster fire to Colorado’s punting unit, the dumpster might sue you for defamation. Michigan got up by enough where a Hail Mary wouldn’t have mattered unlike in 1994, mostly because the Buffs were the gift that keeps on giving on special teams, first allowing the […]

The Houston Cougars overcame some costly mistakes to defeat the Cincinnati Bearcats 40-16, and proved that they’re a College Football Playoff contender. Make no mistake about it: this contest was much closer than the final score would indicate. Sure, Houston moved the ball at will against the Cincinnati defense, but it also turned the ball […]
