In what was a jam-packed Week 4 in college football, the game that took center stage was Notre Dame versus Ohio State. That, for all intents and purposes, was the main event. It was a perfect stage, one that consisted of a classic college football environment, matching up two historic top-10 teams against each other. […]

The Green Bay Packers’ Week 4 game will have them facing NFC North division foe, the Detroit Lions. Both the Packers and Lions are currently sitting at 2-1, making this week’s matchup pivotal for division supremacy. The game will also be a primetime showing on Amazon Prime, on Thursday Night Football. The Packers will host […]

The Detroit Lions Week 4 matchup will be one against familiar NFC North opponent, the Green Bay Packers in a Thursday Night Football contest. Both teams are now setting at 2-1 on the season, with both coming off victories over NFC South division opponents. The Lions made it look relatively easy against the Atlanta Falcons […]

Bo Nix and Oregon football seized their opportunity last Saturday against Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes. The spotlight, as it’s been since Sanders signed on to become the head coach of Colorado, has been wherever the Buffaloes have gone. And needless to say, Dan Lanning and his Ducks football team were tired of it. Lanning has […]

The opportunity was there for Notre Dame football. They had the chance to exceed past shortcomings over the last several seasons. In a season that resembles parity across the country in most conferences, the Fighting Irish had more than a fighting chance against the always tough Ohio State Buckeyes. But as we know, in the […]

The Alabama football quarterback position is set to be scrutinized all season long. But make no mistake about it: Jalen Milroe is QB1 for the Crimson Tide, and he did just enough to prove it on Saturday against the Ole Miss Rebels. Ole Miss, coming into Tuscaloosa while Alabama was recovering from one of their […]

The Colorado Buffaloes football team has been the hottest story in all of college football over the last three weeks. And really, even before that. It all started back in December of last year when Deion Sanders left HBCU school Jackson State, his first collegiate head coaching job, for the Colorado football team. But did […]

Week 4 in college football proved to be a pivotal week for the Heisman Trophy power rankings. This year, as much as it seems there’s a clear favorite, there’s also an opportunity for multiple players to make huge gains with big performances. This was one of those weeks. So, let’s take a look at the […]

The Atlanta Falcons were hoping to make it 3-0 after facing the Detroit Lions. That didn’t happen. The Falcons had a very unpleasant visit to Ford Field and Detroit Rock City where they weren’t even able to score a single touchdown, losing 20-6. Atlanta seemingly had all the momentum coming into this game, given that […]

After coming off one of the worst outings for an Alabama football team in the Nick Saban era, the now No. 12 Crimson Tide came back on Saturday with a victory over SEC West rival Ole Miss. Though Alabama was the favorite coming into the game, pundits (myself included) still wondered what exactly this Alabama […]

The 2023 college football season is now four weeks into play — five if you’re counting Week 0 — and we’re starting to learn more about which teams may have been overrated and underrated coming into the season. With still one game left in September, there are two months of play left, with a lot […]

The Ole Miss Rebels will meet the Alabama Crimson Tide in what looks to be a loaded Week 4 slate of games. What makes this matchup of value is that it will once again be Nick Saban facing one of his former assistants in Lane Kiffin. Saban has already lost to one former assistant this […]

The Atlanta Falcons’ Week 3 opponent will be another NFC team in the Detroit Lions. This will be the Falcons’ first road game of the season against a fellow NFC team that has all the capabilities of becoming a division winner this season. It will perhaps be Atlanta’s toughest game of the young season. *Watch […]

The Florida State Seminoles’ Week 4 matchup against the Clemson Tigers was once thought to be the game that could determine the ACC Champion. But now, the game has lost a little bit of its luster. While the Seminoles have done their part and stayed perfect, going 3-0, the Tigers have not held up their […]

The Oklahoma Sooners will welcome the Cincinnati Bearcats into the Big 12 just before they themselves leave for the SEC next season in a Week 4 matchup. The welcoming party, however, will be a road trip for the Sooners, now 3-0, as they travel to Cincinnati to take on the 2-1 Bearcats. This year’s Oklahoma […]

Notre Dame football’s Week 4 matchup against the Ohio State Buckeyes has the potential to be one of the best games of the year. The AP poll ranked No. 9 Fighting Irish will be hosting the No. 6 Buckeyes in South Bend. This will be only the second matchup this season against top-10 ranked opponents, […]

The Alabama Crimson Tide’s Week 4 matchup will be a pivotal SEC West conference game against Ole Miss. It will also be the first conference game for the 13th-ranked Alabama football team this season, who are now 2-1 on the season. *Watch college football LIVE with fuboTV (click for a free trial)* There’s a lot […]

Deion Sanders and his Colorado football team enter Week 4 with their biggest competition yet this season in the Oregon Ducks. The Buffaloes won’t have the homefield advantage that they’ve had the past two weekends when they faced Nebraska and Colorado State. They’ll have to travel to one of the toughest atmospheres not only in […]

The Atlanta Braves have been the hottest team in baseball during the 2023 season. In fact, they’ve been the best team in baseball this season. They currently still have the best record in all of MLB at 97-55. From top to bottom, they have a star-studded starting lineup that has achieved team and individual records […]

For those that don’t know, the Miami Hurricanes football program has never won an ACC Championship. Since coming over from the Big East in 2004, not only have the Hurricanes never won the conference championship, they’ve only played in one conference championship game period. That was all the way back in 2017. Coming from the […]

The talk of not only college football but sports in general is that of Deion Sanders and Colorado football. The scale of relevance has totally changed since Sanders’ arrival in Boulder, CO. It’s unlike something sports has seen in some time, if ever. How long can it last? No one was talking about the University […]

On Monday, the Colorado-USC game timeslot was revealed, and it has those on the west coast a bit perturbed. The game will be yet another broadcast on FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff, which means it will be one of the first opening games of the day. For those on the east coast, this is no bother, […]

The New York Giants’ Week 3 opponent will be none other than one of the favorites to win the NFC this year, the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football. The 49ers are the current leaders of the NFC West at 2-0, while the Giants are 1-1 in what looks to be a two-team race […]

The Texas Longhorns narrowly avoided a huge upset last Saturday night against the Wyoming Cowboys, winning the game 31-10. Texas, of course, was coming off one of its biggest wins in years, defeating the always highly-talented Alabama Crimson Tide on their own home turf at Bryant-Denny Stadium, no less. For the longest time, whenever the […]

In just three games of the early 2023 college football season, Alabama football fans find themselves in unfamiliar territory. After two decades of pure and utter domination, this year’s Crimson Tide team looks nothing like its former self through just three games. After basically scrimmages against Middle Tennessee State University, Texas came into Tuscaloosa in […]

The talk of the entire college football world has been Colorado football. That’s mostly due to the program’s energetic, unapologetic new head coach, Deion Sanders. Sanders has made the Colorado Buffaloes must-see television. So much so that millions on the East Coast and elsewhere stayed up way past their normal bedtimes last Saturday night to […]

The good news for Georgia Bulldogs’ football fans is that their team is still undefeated. That means this year’s team is on a good pace to three-peat as national champions. But it’s only three games, with a lot of the season left to go. Georgia, however, did pass its biggest test so far of the […]

Arthur Smith and the Atlanta Falcons are still in the process of discovering what they have at the quarterback position. Coming into the season, quarterback Desmond Ridder carried a significant question mark above his head. After the unceremonious exit of last year’s quarterback, Marcus Mariota, this was Ridder’s season to lead, as head coach Arthur […]

The Tennessee Volunteers suffered their first loss of the young 2023 season on Saturday night against SEC East rival, the Florida Gators. To some, it was surprising. The Volunteers football team was coming off its most successful season in years after last season, winning 11 games that included an Orange Bowl victory against the Clemson […]

If you watched the Alabama Crimson Tide football team on Saturday, you witnessed a lot of unfamiliarity. For one, Alabama football doesn’t typically travel to face a Group of Five school like South Florida on the road. But that’s exactly what happened. Secondly, you don’t see Alabama football struggle with schools like South Florida, beating […]

The Miami Dolphins’ Week 2 game scheduled against the New England Patriots is an early AFC East rivalry that should garner a lot of people’s interest. The Dolphins, led by starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, are coming off a thrilling victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. The Patriots, however, are coming off a tough-fought loss to […]

The Detroit Lions’ Week 2 matchup has them hosting the Seattle Seahawks, where they hope to keep their momentum, building off their exciting Week 1 victory over the Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs. There’s a lot of excitement this season around the Detroit area where, for so long, there hasn’t been. Can this be […]

In a shocking turn of events, the Michigan State football program has suspended its fourth-year head coach, Mel Tucker, amid allegations of sexual misconduct involving prominent activist Brenda Tracy. Tucker was suspended after allegations went public, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel. While a formal hearing to determine Tucker’s fate won’t occur until early October, it […]

The Florida Gators football team’s Week 3 matchup against the Tennessee Volunteers will mark the beginning of SEC play for both teams. This is one of the more heated and historic rivalries in the conference—or at least it used to be. There’s no doubt this game, which falls every third weekend in September, is still […]

The Georgia Bulldogs’ Week 3 opponent will be SEC East rival the South Carolina Gamecocks. After facing two lesser-talented teams in their first two weeks in UT-Martin and Ball State, the Bulldogs’ football team will have to play host to South Carolina football. This will be the first true test for the Bulldogs, who have […]

The Tennessee Volunteers football team enters Week 3 against one of their longest rival opponents, the Florida Gators. This matchup used to be one of the all-time great rivalries in the SEC. However, until recently, the Volunteers football team didn’t fare so well, losing 16 out of the last 20 games. Last year, the Volunteers […]

The Atlanta Falcons Week 2 game against the Green Bay Packers have both teams coming off victories. Now, one will have to take their first loss of the young 2023 season. Being only the second week of the season, we still don’t know exactly who or what these teams are quite yet. Both are coming […]

The Miami Hurricanes football team will enter Week 3 now as the AP Poll 22nd ranked team in the country. This, of course, all comes after beating Texas A&M last weekend, where the Hurricanes put almost 50 points on the Aggies. The matchup this week, however, will more than likely be a lot less stressful […]

This season didn’t quite go how the Los Angeles Angels had hoped. Of course, the past decade or more hasn’t gone the way the Angels would have hoped, with their own mismanagement being a cause for it. The Angels have had two of the best players in all of baseball over the last six seasons […]
