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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Cal vs Texas had a bit of a strange ending and replay review, which I’m sure everyone has seen by now. Many didn’t quite understand what happened; many think that Texas should have been given the ball. Let’s break down exactly what call was made and see if it was right. First of all, let’s […]

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 […]

A bunch of kids from Ohio State that had never gotten on an airplane before traveled to Norman Saturday to take on one of the most storied programs in the history of college football. Rather than shrink under the pressure, those same kids took a step towards making history of their own. Here are five things […]

All everyone is talking about right now is the Big 12 and whether the conference is out of the Playoff already. Well, that talk is a little bit premature, but that doesn’t mean that things look good for the conference right now. The Big 12 has a serious problem. With only three non-conference wins against […]

Week 3 was a big week in the ACC, which taught us a number of important lessons about the teams in the conference. Here are five takeaways from an action-packed weekend. 5. Georgia Tech can throw the deep ball Make no mistake about it: the Yellow Jacket offense is a run-first attack. That will always […]

The Big 12 did not have the best of weeks on the field this past weekend, though there were some bright spots. Still, many are writing the conference out of the Playoff and it did not help at all when this stat was bandied about over the weekend: Big 12 is 2-10 in 2016 vs. […]
Mark Dantonio knows what he’s doing… but Michigan State does need to be more vigilant in fourth quarters. Is this a crisis? Probably not. Is this a concern? Definitely. Is this a mere blip on the radar screen? Quite possibly.

Well that was fun. This past Saturday looked like a dumpster fire in the early window for the Big Ten with nearly every national media type ready to declare the Big Ten an overhyped conference. But then the script flipped on the way to press — the Big Ten more than taking care of business […]
