In a week where exactly zero of the focus on the Ole Miss side leading up to Saturday was on the game, the Rebels got handed a 42-27 loss on the road at Arkansas. It was a tough pill to swallow, as they were down 42-6 at one point, and the game never really felt […]

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are sailing the high seas looking for a head football coach for the first time since 2018, as Scott Frost is long gone and interim head coach Mickey Joseph doesn’t appear to be the guy the Cornhusker faithful will be seeing stroll the sideline for years to come. Several names have been […]

One of the best parts of college football is the rivalries. Decades old clashes between schools that have roots in the earliest days of the sport. Trophies made of the most bizarre objects that fans treat as though it were the national title. With potentially the most consequential Crosstown Rivalry, the game between USC and […]

Texas A&M football appears to be in freefall. They’re currently 3-7, and likely to finish an abysmal 4-8. Several reputable outlets and analysts were picking the Aggies to contend for the SEC West and a Playoff spot in the preseason. Needless to say, with two games left in the regular season, the Aggies are as […]

Following a 27-17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams are 3-6. It’s quite the Super Bowl slump to say the least, as the Rams look totally listless and if you didn’t know they’d won it a year ago, you probably wouldn’t believe anyone who told you they did. […]

Think back all the way to 2010. Notre Dame football had just come off a season in which they went 6-6 and fired head coach Charlie Weis. They hired up-and-coming Cincinnati head coach Brian Kelly to steer the ship back to the promised land. Kelly would have the Fighting Irish in the National Championship Game […]

After nearly pulling off an overtime upset on the road in Kansas City last week, the Tennessee Titans return to the Music City with a 5-3 record to take on the 3-5 Denver Broncos in a game the Titans need to win to keep pace at the front of the pack in the AFC. The […]

It took until their ninth game, but the Clemson Tigers finally suffered their first defeat of the 2022 college football season at the hands of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The final score of 35-14 in no way tells you how lopsided the game actually was. Clemson was utterly embarrassed in this game. They dropped […]

Texas A&M football is in big trouble. After a 41-24 loss to Florida, Jimbo Fisher’s squad dropped to 3-6 on the season, and now need to win each of their final three games to finish the year to qualify for a bowl game, something the Aggies have done in every season since 2008, though the […]

With the entire country having played nine games, and thus three quarters of the regular season, the College Football Playoff race is heating up. Plenty of programs have had their say on the makeup of the top four and the final standings, which will release in about a month. With three games left on everyone’s […]

When the College Football Playoff committee released their initial rankings for the 2022 season on Tuesday, many were shocked by some of the placements of some teams. One of the most discussed issues with the rankings that people had was the fact that TCU was ranked below Alabama. The Horned Frogs and their faithful definitely […]

Ohio State football picked up a huge 44-31 win over then No. 10 Penn State on Saturday. It was the Buckeyes’ first ranked win since Week 1, when they took down Notre Dame, who are now unranked at 5-3. However, despite pulling out the win in Happy Valley, there is a bit of cause for […]

For the first time since 1998, the Tennessee Volunteers are the No. 1 team in the country, as far as the College Football Playoff Committee’s rankings go. If you’re more partial to the AP Poll for some reason, then you’ll see the Georgia Bulldogs sitting atop the mountain at number one. Saturday’s matchup marks the […]

For the first time since 2014, Ole Miss football currently sits at 7-1. With Texas A&M looming on the schedule, before a bye week presents some respite ahead of a showdown with #6 Alabama, in a game that will likely decide the SEC West, let’s take a look at the Rebels’ resume, and why they […]

Oregon football looks to be in a very good spot. A step back from recent success under Mario Cristobal was expected this season as he departed for Miami and was replaced by Georgia defensive coordinator Dan Lanning, but quite the opposite has been true thus far. There are currently four schools with a realistic shot […]

It’s been quite a while since Chip Kelly coached a big game in Autzen Stadium, but that time has come once again, except with Kelly on the visitor’s sideline as he brings his 6-0 No. 9 UCLA football to Eugene to take on 5-1 No. 10 Oregon football. Both teams currently sit atop the Pac […]

Syracuse football is off to its best start since 1987, as they sit a cool 6-0, with impressive wins over Purdue, who may crack the Top 25 soon enough, and current No. 20 North Carolina State. Sure, the Wolfpack didn’t have their star quarterback Devin Leary, who appears to be out for the season, but […]

What a college football weekend it was! There were six matchups between ranked foes, and three finished with margins of victory of three points or less. We’ve learned a lot about who the best teams in the country are, which of the top 25 are pretenders, which teams will be lucky to land a New […]

It’s that time of year everybody! There have been some really bad matchups in the Pac-12 so far this season, but now it’s getting real. It all starts with No. 7 USC traveling to Rice-Eccles Stadium for a battle with No. 20 Utah on Saturday. This will be easily the Trojans’ biggest test, as this […]

There’s a big one brewing in Ann Arbor this Saturday, as No. 10 Penn State travels to take on No. 5 Michigan in one of two battles of top-10 opponents on the Week 7 college football schedule, the other being no. 3 Alabama at No. 6 Tennessee. But the nation’s eyes, will not be in […]

Matt Rhule is back on the market, folks. After an abysmal stint in the NFL with the Carolina Panthers, it appears the former Baylor head coach is headed back to the college ranks with one school or another. A few jobs have already opened this season, and a few more are expected to come open […]

It was a statement win for Lane Kiffin and his Ole Miss Rebels football program, as they picked up a 22-19 home victory over the seventh-ranked Kentucky Wildcats. A (finally) packed Vaught-Hemingway Stadium witnessed a 13th consecutive home win dating back to October 24, 2020, and a first home win against a top-10 opponent since […]

Death Valley is in for a great showdown on Saturday as the #10 North Carolina State Wolfpack travel to take on the #5 Clemson Tigers. It’s a big test for both the NC State football squad, which is their first stiff competition, and the Clemson football squad, which isfresh off of a triumphant overtime win […]

It wasn’t always the most comfortable of wins, but nonetheless, Ole Miss football is 4-0 heading into a homecoming showdown with #8 Kentucky. In the baking Mississippi heat, the Rebels found their way to a 35-27 victory over the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. As one of the 50,000 or so in attendance, I feel uniquely qualified […]

Arizona State is a college football program in real long-term trouble. A giant wave of outgoing transfers followed news of an NCAA investigation into serious recruiting violations by assistant coaches on head coach Herm Edwards’ staff. Three games into the 2022 season, Edwards is gone following a 30-21 loss to Eastern Michigan. The Sun Devils […]

It was a disappointing end to a fantastic season for the Tennessee Titans in 2021, but that’s all in the past. New faces have arrived, some old ones have departed, training camp has completed, and we now await the beginning of the 2022 NFL season—with some Titans Week 1 predictions to tide you over until […]

For the Clemson Tigers football program, their 2022 season opener against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets represents a fresh start. It was a comparatively tough year in 2021 for the Tigers, finishing 10-3, their worst since 2014. Starting quarterback DJ Uiagalelei is back after a shaky campaign in 2021 and will be looking to rebound […]

After a year in which Utah football won the Pac-12 and nearly won an incredible Rose Bowl, the Utes have spent all offseason reloading and refreshing ahead of their 2022 college football season opener against the Florida Gators at The Swamp, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. It’s time to make some bold Utah football predictions for […]

Oklahoma football has changed head coaches for just the second time this millennium. Lincoln Riley jumped ship to take the top job at USC and the Sooners replaced him with longtime Clemson defensive coordinator and Oklahoma grad Brent Venables. Also in the fold is new offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby, who had spent the past couple […]

Lane Kiffin is cooking up something special in Oxford, Mississippi. After guiding Ole Miss football to the first 10-win regular season in school history, the Rebels coach had to watch his star quarterback, Matt Corral, depart for the NFL, as well as his two top running backs in Jerrion Ealy and Snoop Conner along with […]

2021 was so nearly the year for Oklahoma State football. The Cowboys finally got their Bedlam Series victory over Oklahoma and looked destined for the College Football Playoff, but mere inches kept them from finally reaching the mountaintop, as they fell to Baylor in the Big 12 Championship Game. A big part of the terrific […]

2021, on paper at least, looked to be the transition year for Ohio State football. The Buckeyes saw Justin Fields hit the draft and began life with CJ Stroud under center. Expectations, at least by the standards Ohio State has set for itself over the past decade or so, were comparatively low, but that didn’t […]

For a long time this offseason, it was assumed that Myles Brennan would finally get his opportunity to lead LSU football after five seasons either injured, on the bench, or at times both. Then, with the arrival of head coach Brian Kelly from Notre Dame, shortly thereafter came Jayden Daniels, a transfer from Arizona State. […]

Utah football may have lost the Rose Bowl in spectacular fashion to Ohio State, but the 2021 season where the Utes won the Pac 12 can’t be considered anything other than a massive success. While it may have initially felt like the culmination of a squad comprised of a lot of upperclassmen, that actually isn’t […]

The winds of change have found a foothold and have been blowing right through Los Angeles all summer. Out goes Clay Helton and interim Donte Williams, and in comes Lincoln Riley and a set of expectations unrivaled in this USC football program since the days of Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, LenDale White and others under […]

Kenny Pickett is gone. Kedon Slovis is in. It’s a new era for Pitt for the first time in a long time. However, the era just gone did produce something for the Panthers that had only happened twice before, and that’s a conference title. Their last was the 2010 Big East crown, but enough about […]

It may not have ended with a national championship, but 2021 did end the way a lot of years have ended since Nick Saban arrived in Tuscaloosa, with the Alabama Crimson Tide hoisting the SEC Championship trophy in Atlanta. Looking into 2022 as we begin fall camp around the country, not many teams stand a […]

Despite making the College Football Playoff last season for the first time, there’s a bit of trouble brewing in the quarterback room at the Big House for the starting job with the Michigan Wolverines. Everyone knew this battle was coming, and it’s only intensifying as we get closer to time for fall camp to begin. […]

The 2021 NFL season was a breakout year for Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp. He’d always been regarded as one of the better receivers in the game, but now he’s placed among the two or three best. This comes after proving to be easily Matthew Stafford’s favorite target en route to a Super […]
