They’re 169-31 since the turn of the century, good for 82 percent wins. At some point, the CFB Playoff committee isn’t […]

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 […]

This isn’t … well … your tween’s Pac-12, assuming you have a tween child. For the first time in eight years, it looks like someone other than Stanford or Oregon will be winning the conference. They lost by a combined 112-37 to Washington State and Washington respectively. There’s more to know, but that’s the main part. […]

Ohio State hosted an Indiana team that is actually attempting to play defense this year. It wasn’t the prettiest of games, but the Buckeyes were able to grind it out and win a game it didn’t look as sharp as its previous body of work. Here are five things we learned after the hard-fought win […]

The problem with this column (other than the writer) is that as the season goes on and conference teams only play one another, it becomes harder for someone to actually shift in the rankings other than at the bottom. It’s good cannon fodder for when bowl season starts to see who the regular season deemed […]

If you were to ask your kid to go ahead the first time he has his driver’s permit to go ahead and drive home in Atlanta rush hour traffic, that’d be giving a freshman a first start against a top 5 football team as your season swirls out of control. Luckily (for Oregon), they’ve got […]
