It reads either like some doomsday movie or some odd scientific theory, but it’s just claimed another pelt in Les Miles of LSU: The Saban Effect. LSU let go of Miles after just over 12 years at the place, leaving behind a 114-34 record overall, including 62-28 in an SEC West that grew from simply […]

With their victory over Arkansas on Saturday night, the Texas A&M Aggies proved that they’re a top 10 team. That’s not to say that the Aggies were perfect. They weren’t. The passing game got off to a slow start, completing just four of 11 attempts in the first half. The defense also struggled for most […]

Michigan thrashed utterly out-manned Penn State 49-10 in front of a raucous home crowd Saturday afternoon, giving the first real glimpse to just how frightening Michigan can be … and just how much ground PSU has to make up on their way back to elitism. From the opening jump, when PSU got the ball deep […]
“Hey, Big 12! We’re really good!” — The message BYU wants to send in its bowl game, even though the Big 12 won’t expand next year or the year after that. BYU is trying to plant seeds that will sprout several years down the line.

Although some in the media have suggested there’s a quarterback controversy at BYU, Taysom Hill has the job because of his uncanny ability to make plays. Just look at what he did here. Facing a third and 11, he pulled the ball down and ran for a first down. At the end of the run, […]

Well that was easy. This was supposed to be the week where the Wisconsin Badgers got declawed and stuffed as it came back down to Earth. After all, LSU was overrated right? And of course, struggling against FCS opponent Georgia State was surely a sing of things to come. Just wait until the Michigan State […]

After a soul-crushing loss against Alabama last weekend, you had to wonder what you’d see from Ole Miss against Georgia. Would the Rebels listen to a lot of the media – which wants to repeat ad nauseam that the team blew two 20-point leads this year – or would it play like a team that […]

The Utah Utes rallied back from a two-touchdown deficit in the third quarter to defeat USC 31-27. This victory proves that the team has what it takes to win the Pac-12 South title. Make no mistake about it: this is an impressive win for the Utes. Yes, it looks like the Trojans are in big […]

Even on the lousiest day a person has, if you really want to be overly optimistic, “well, I woke up I guess.” Southern Cal (USC) lost to Utah to drop to 1-3 on the season Saturday morning (if you fancy yourself some Eastern Standard Time) and unfortunately for the program, they may be next on […]

The Clemson Tigers’ defense dominated on Thursday night, as the team rolled to a 26-7 victory over Georgia Tech. That’s not to say that the offense didn’t turn in a solid performance as well. After struggling at times early in the season, the offense moved the ball well in the first half, racking up 347 […]

Clay Helton is making the right move by starting Sam Darnold at quarterback this weekend. That’s not to say that Max Browne deserves the blame for the Trojans’ 1-2 record. Sure, he struggled against Alabama, but so do most quarterbacks not named Chad Kelly, Johnny Manziel, or Cardale Jones. Yet, Browne rebounded from that rough […]

Week 3 was an exciting one for the FCS, as North Dakota State defeated then-No. 15 Iowa 23-21. In addition, No. 2 Richmond and No. 5 Illinois State were upset this weekend, losing to Stony Brook and Eastern Illinois, respectively. Will these games impact this week’s FCS Top 10 poll? Check out the results below […]

On Saturday, the Florida Gators face off with the Tennessee Volunteers in the marquee matchup of the day for the SEC. Along with the Georgia Bulldogs, these two teams are the front-runners in the SEC East. The winner of this game will put themselves in the drivers seat of the division. The Vols came into […]

For this week’s version of “thoughts,” we’re going with questions, because right now there are more questions than there are answers. That’s usually how college football rolls until the end of the season and it use to be, beyond. There may be no more curious conference in the land, though, than the Pac-12 Is USC […]

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 […]

Every ranked team in the SEC won their game last week with the exception of Ole Miss (and the Rebels lost to No. 1 Alabama in a conference game). Vanderbilt’s embarrassing loss to Georgia Tech excluded, it was a good week for SEC football as it continue to build its brand back up after a […]
