Week 4 CFP Implications: Separation Starts

0 comments by

The college football world loves finding “separation Saturdays” during the season. While there are some Saturdays that see more separation than others, basically every Saturday once conference play starts has some major shakedowns in the College Football Playoff race, whether those are what we expect to see or not. Week 4 didn’t have too many […]

Big 12 Football: 5 Things We Learned in Week 4

0 comments by

We didn’t find out so much about the Big 12 this week, well, because not so much happened in the Big 12 this week. One high-profile game, delayed by lightning, took place Saturday night. Other than that, we didn’t see many games, which is okay. The lack of learning much about the league tells us […]

Firing Brian VanGorder after four games makes absolutely no sense

0 comments by

Brian Kelly’s decision to fire Brian VanGorder four games into the season makes absolutely no sense. That’s not to say that the defense has been perfect this season. It hasn’t been. After four games, Notre Dame ranks 126th nationally in sacks, 108th in tackles for a loss, 103rd in total defense, and 96th in rushing […]

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 […]

Texas A&M Aggies defeat Arkansas, prove they’re a top 10 team

0 comments by

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.
