Penn State can prove that it deserved a spot in the College Football Playoff by winning the Rose Bowl. Make no mistake about it: Nittany Lion players and fans have every right to be disappointed in the Selection Committee’s decision. After all, Penn State won (arguably) the toughest conference in college football, and beat Ohio […]

0 comments by on 12/4/2016

To be honest, there was no good answer, but there was no bad answer, either. When it came to picking the four teams that would participate in the CFB Playoffs, 2017 version, any amalgam of Alabama, Clemson, Washington, Ohio State, and/or Penn State was going to be justifiable. But to wit, any combination of those […]

Alabama Crimson Tide roll over Florida, strengthen grip on top spot in college football

0 comments by on 12/3/2016

The Alabama Crimson Tide rolled over Florida 54-16, strengthening their grip on the top spot in college football. That’s not to say that Nick Saban’s squad was perfect. It wasn’t. The Crimson Tide offense got off to a very slow start, netting minus 7 yards on its first two drives. Likewise, the Alabama defense gave […]

The Washington Huskies destroyed Colorado 41-10, proving that they belong in the College Football Playoff. That’s not to say that UW was perfect. It wasn’t. Washington’s usually steady passing game completed just 9 of 24 passes for 124 yards. The Huskies also turned the ball over on downs on their second possession, taking a sack […]

There is just one game left in the season, and there are true few scenarios left. In all honesty, only seven — maybe an eight, but we’ll get to that — schools have a real shot at the Playoff, and four of those are in the Big Ten. Alabama and Ohio State are locks. Clemson […]

The Army – Navy game won’t hold up the bowl selection process

0 comments by

Despite reports to the contrary, I don’t think the College Football Playoff Selection Committee will hold up the bowl selection process to wait on the results of the Army – Navy game. Yet, that’s what some people are afraid of. And, it actually makes sense when you think about it. If Western Michigan loses to […]

We are down to the final weekend of the college football season. It’s conference championship weekend in every conference other than the Sun Belt and Big 12, which has a de facto championship game in Bedlam. It is clear that Alabama and Ohio State are Playoff locks, even if some are nervous about Ohio State […]

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.

The Oregon Ducks should hire Dan Mullen

0 comments by on 11/30/2016

The Oregon Ducks should hire Dan Mullen as their next head coach. Make no mistake about it: UO is the best job in the country. Since that’s the case, the school will have no shortage of qualified candidates that are interested in the position. But, Mullen would make the most sense. That’s not to take […]

0 comments by

Lamar Jackson has led our poll from the outset. The Louisville quarterback has put forth dominant performance after dominant performance. Recently, the Cardinals have started to struggle, and Jackson has looked mortal. In back-to-back weeks, the Cardinals got routed by Houston and then got upset by in-state rival Kentucky.

For the first time in 40 years, Oregon will be hiring a football coach looking outside the program, and unlike those 4 decades ago, it’s the best job in the nation.

The Alabama Crimson Tide cannot afford to lose to Florida in the SEC Championship game this weekend. That’s not to say that the Crimson Tide wouldn’t make the College Football Playoff if it should lose to the Gators this weekend. According to the Colley Matrix, Alabama has four wins against the top 25 and eight […]

In case you haven’t heard, which means you don’t like college football much and thus this is an odd place for you to be reading right now when you could be doing something more your preference, like castigating people’s political beliefs or looking at pictures of cats, Oregon and Notre Dame weren’t good this year.
