The 2025 UCLA football season has already been a disaster, and we are only three games in. The Bruins fired head coach DeShaun Foster after three games into his second season. The UCLA job has a lot of history and should be able to attract some high-profile names across the board, but they have a […]

The 2025 South Carolina offense was expected to be even better, with LaNorris Sellers back under center. Nyck Harbor’s continued growth out wide and the addition of Rahsul Faison in the backfield were also supposed to set this apart for Sellers. However, so far, this offense has taken a step back. Sellers got hurt in […]

The 2025 season has started well for the Auburn football team on the field. They have a 3-0 record and are ranked as SEC play gets underway this week against Oklahoma on the road. The Tigers also win off the field because Hugh Freeze has been recruiting so well. Most recently, five-star Auburn commit Jase […]

The Dallas Cowboys have been under a massive microscope recently after they traded away Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers. They still need help on defense, especially up front, so they signed Jadeveon Clowney to a one-year deal for added help along the defensive line. The fit makes sense for both parties, allowing Clowney […]

The lynchpin of recent Michigan football teams has been their dominant defense, and this season was supposed to be no different.

The Denver Broncos looked solid to start the season after winning against the Tennessee Titans, 20 – 12. The defense looked great, thanks to six sacks on Cam Ward, but the offense fell short of expectations, and Bo Nix threw two interceptions. There are pieces to this offense, and they can score. One of the […]

The 2025 Dallas Mavericks have a chance to bounce back massively this season after the way they finished last season. They made a massive move in trading away Luka Doncic to the Lakers, but then they had good luck. They ended up with the top pick in the NBA Draft and took Cooper Flagg out […]

The Tennessee Titans started the season looking much better than expected against the Denver Broncos, but they still looked sloppy and struggled to move the ball.

The 2025 Michigan football season has gotten off to an interesting start. They looked inconsistent in their first game against New Mexico and struggled to move the ball against Oklahoma in Week 2.

The 2025 Syracuse football team has some big questions, especially now that we are two weeks into the season.

The 2025 Oregon football team is already demonstrating that it might be one of the best teams in the entire country. The Ducks beat Montana State easily, but the big win was how they absolutely demolished Oklahoma State at home. The Ducks have arguably looked like the best team in the country through two weeks […]

The team with the biggest expectations in college football for the 2025 season was easily the Texas football program.

The 2025 LSU football season started with a massive win against Clemson on the road, but in Week 2, the Tigers looked sluggish after coming down from the high of that Week 1 win, with a sloppy win against Louisiana Tech. They are still one of the best teams in the conference. A massive key […]

As the NFL season starts, the San Francisco 49ers deal with many issues in the wide receiver corps.

The Alabama football fraternity extends far and wide across the NFL after their dominance under Nick Saban. Over 400 players have played for the Crimson Tide and are currently in the NFL.

The 2025 USC football team has a lot of potential this season.

The 2025 Michigan football team started the season looking decent against New Mexico, winning 34-17 in Week 1.

The 2025 Nebraska football team started this season with a win, but they looked sloppy against Cincinnati at a neutral site game, which they played at Kansas City.

There are massive expectations for the Washington Commanders this year. They burst onto the scene last year thanks to Jayden Daniels’s performance as a rookie.

The 2025 Texas A&M football team has a chance to make a lot of noise in the SEC. Mike Elko has been a great recruiter for the Aggies since coming over from Duke, and he has a lot of potential to help put the Aggies over the top in a loaded conference. The top cornerback […]
