We’ve got about two weeks left in this thing before we figure out who’s playing in the CFB Playoffs, and it appears this year, the committee will earn its keep (which is $0). There are still a few scenarios out there where it’s not completely oily, but they’re few and far between. So the relative […]

0 comments by

I have been saying for a month now that the leading contenders in the College Football Playoff race had a huge lead on the field. With losses by Ohio State, Michigan, Clemson, and Washington in the last month, that lead has shrunk. However, the fact remains that that gap is still there. And it could […]

Heisman voting started today. Which is stupid.

0 comments by on 11/21/2016

Psychological studies have found that around 20 percent of people are chronic procrastinators. Let’s hope they have Heisman Trophy votes. Heisman voting started today, which is inherently stupid seeing as the most impacting games of the college football season probably have yet to be played. That means people with voting rights can access their ballots […]

Charlie Strong needed more time at Texas

0 comments by

If Texas has decided to fire Charlie Strong – as CBS has reported – it’s making the wrong choice. He deserved another season to turn things around.

Ranked No. 10 in the primary AP Top 25 Poll of the campaign, no one expected the Fighting Irish to be scrapping for a mediocre bowl game over its final two matchups.

Michigan shakes off 1st half slumber, beats IU going into The Game

It won’t make anyone’s highlight reel unless they’re specifically paid to over-analyze Michigan football, but it happened in the middle of the third quarter, down 10-6 against Indiana, who’s made being pesky a cottage industry under Kevin Wilson. Backup quarterback turned starter John O’Korn got pressure up the middle and squeezed through, rolling out to […]
