Ohio State came home looking to fix some things against an improved Northwestern team. It won, but left the field with more questions than answers. Contact/Follow @PhilHarrisonCFB or email him at pharrison28@gmail.com. If that doesn’t work, you can find him in the doghouse at home.

The Clemson Tigers defeated Florida State 37-34, reminding the college football world that they have the type of resolve necessary to win the national championship. Let’s be honest: it looked like Clemson might actually lose this game. Sure, the Tigers scored on the first two drives to go up 14-0 early, but Florida State rallied […]

The Washington Huskies defeated the Utah Utes 31-24, proving that they’re a legitimate contender to win the College Football Playoff. Make no mistake about it: this was an impressive win for Chris Petersen and the Huskies. Utah came into this contest ranked 17th in the country and tied for first place in the Pac-12 South. […]

The main story that any Playoff discussion will begin with this week is Ohio State’s loss to Penn State. The Buckeyes had major special teams issues and did not look good at all for much of the game, even if they controlled most of it. It ended in a loss, though, which will prompt much […]

What a week in the Big 12. I think that Oklahoma/Texas Tech game had enough offense for the entire country, let alone the conference. Oklahoma’s poor defensive performance, along with another strong one from West Virginia, means there’s some shake-up at the top of the rankings. The bottom, of course, stayed the same. It always […]

The LSU Tigers throttled the Ole Miss Rebels 38-21 to remain in the SEC West championship picture. The victory also keeps them alive in the College Football Playoff race. Make no mistake about it: LSU proved on Saturday evening that it’s a very dangerous team under the leadership of Ed Orgeron. Sure, we’ve already seen […]

So if you had the Cubs going to the World Series and Penn State over Ohio State tonight, congrats, and I’d like to spend some time on your new yacht the size of Vermont. But here we are, Penn State as 24-21 victors over the Buckeyes in the most shocking result of this current college […]

There is a new form of clickbait in the college football world. We see it, time and time again, across all manner of college football journalists and pundits. College football news and discussion outlets want us to expect it, because it’s an easy topic that everyone loves to listen and talk about. And, it needs […]

No, the title of this post is not just referring to Alabama. Most analysts and pundits right now think that Alabama is head and shoulders above everyone else in college football right now. And, that very well may be true. But, the top spot usually finds ways to work itself out. Even if Alabama runs […]

For the past six weeks, I have written a “what we learned” bit about the Big 12. After six weeks of learning things, I’m pretty sure we know a good amount about the conference. Now it’s time for us to rank the teams. As a real “power ranking,” my goal will be to focus much […]

Seldom do big-time matchups live up to the hype, but we got every bit of what we wished for and more in Madison. Ohio State and Wisconsin played an instant classic, with Ohio State escaping with a hard-fought win in OT. Whew. There are going to be some busy athletic training personnel in both Madison […]

You can probably call it “the battle for third best in the SEC West,” or you could just say, “Arkansas vs. Ole Miss,” but the Hogs (5-2) snared a much-needed 34-30 win while sending Ole Miss into the abyss of mediocrity, at least for 2016. In what was one of the more entertaining games of 2015, […]

The Alabama Crimson Tide throttled Tennessee 49-10, strengthening their grip on the No. 1 spot in the polls. At the risk of stating the obvious, this was an awesome performance for the Crimson Tide. The defense dominated this contest from the opening whistle, never allowing Tennessee to get in any sort of rhythm offensively. Even […]

There are a lot of stories to take away from this college football week, as there are every week. The most significant result this weekend, as of now at least, was Houston’s shocking loss to the Navy Midshipmen. This has far-reaching implications, but let’s start with the most basic. Houston will not be in the […]
