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

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 […]

Week 9 CFP Implications: Is Louisville Actually a Contender?

I am going to start by saying that I enjoy watching the Louisville Cardinals this year. I think Lamar Jackson is one of the most talented dual-threat QBs that college football has seen in quite a while. He is an electrifying player and, along with the rest of his team, is truly a pleasure to […]

Mark Helfrich is still on the hot seat

No, Mark Helfrich did not save his job this weekend. Despite the obviousness of the situation, I’ve seen more than a few people suggest that Helfrich is off the hot seat because Oregon beat Arizona State 54-35 on Saturday evening. With all due respect, that’s simply not the case. Sure, the win over the Sun […]

Week 9 Big 12 Power Rankings

This was not a good week for the Big 12. The conference’s Playoff hopes this season have been all but dashed, though Oklahoma is still unscathed in conference play. At this point, the conference may very well be hoping that the selection committee rewards Oklahoma’s aggressive non-conference scheduling and gives the Sooners the benefit of […]

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

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

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 […]

Dan Mullen has given new life to his career, putting together what is by far his best season as a head coach. Yet, a loss to Georgia Tech would leave a lot of national commentators saying that MSU was more a mirage than the picture of flesh and substance.

Terry’s Takes: Fresno State’s Vacancy, Jim Grobe and Baylor, and Why Dan Mullen Shouldn’t be Fired

Here’s the latest installment of Terry’s Takes, which focuses on the coaching carousel this week. Jeff Tedford isn’t the answer for Fresno State Although he seems like the perfect fit (on paper) for Fresno State, Jeff Tedford should not be the Bulldogs’ next head coach. That’s not to say that Tedford isn’t a great coach. […]

Week 8 CFP Implications: First Big Upset of the Season

The main story that any Playoff discussion will begin with this week is Ohio State’s loss to Penn State. The Buckeyes had major special teams issues and did not look good at all for much of the game, even if they controlled most of it. It ended in a loss, though, which will prompt much […]
