A pair of 6-2 SEC teams will square off on Saturday night when No. 18 Oklahoma heads to Knoxville to take on No. 14 Tennessee in what is essentially a playoff game, but the two teams are heading in opposite directions coming into this game. Tennessee took a frustrating early-season loss to Georgia at home […]

After starting the season ranked No. 1 in the country, Texas football has been a bit underwhelming this season. However, Steve Sarkisian and company are still sitting with just two losses and likely control their own destiny to get into the College Football Playoff at the end of the year. After a fairly light few […]

Five different Big Ten teams bring winning streaks in tow into Week 10. That includes Ohio State, which gets a Penn State team undergoing new leadership. Meanwhile, which teams make the biggest jump from the Week 9 power rankings? 1. Ohio State (-) The Buckeyes will likely play with a heavy heart amid the sudden […]

The 2025 LSU football season has quickly turned into a disaster. The Tigers are 5-3, but they fired Brian Kelly after they were blown out at home against Texas A&M.

On Wednesday, Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt made the case that Kiffin will likely end up at LSU next season, per The Herd with w/Colin Cowherd. “If […]

Just a week ago, I viewed the Florida A&M-Jackson State game as an immediate win for the Tigers. The Rattler-Tiger rivalry has been engaging over the past few seasons, featuring what we all believed would be a compelling coaching rivalry between Deion Sanders and Willie Simmons. Unfortunately, it never happened, as Sanders bolted for Colorado […]

The 2025 Florida football season went downhill quickly after starting with so much promise. The Gators are 3-4 but have struggled to do well up to this point. It follows a massive coaching carousel that started with James Franklin being fired from Penn State. With Franklin still being a great coach, there has been some […]

Amid a high-turnover coaching cycle, Ed Orgeron keeps popping up as a serious name whenever a blue-blood job opens. Earlier this fall, he was floated as a “name to monitor” in broader coaching chatter, but the real intrigue now centers on LSU’s vacancy and whether the 2019 national-title coach could be part of the Tigers’ […]

Cincinnati’s best win this month still runs through the ground game. In the 38-30 takedown of then-No. 14 Iowa State, the Bearcats pounded out early explosives and Evan Pryor punched in two scores, a reminder of how central the backfield is to Scott Satterfield’s offense. That context makes this week’s depth hit tougher as No. […]

Week 9 of the college football season is in the books, and the SEC had three games that featured ranked opponents going head-to-head. While there are not a lot of major moves in this week’s Power Rankings, there is becoming a clear delineation between the haves and have-nots of the SEC. It is time to […]

Florida State football team AD Michael Alford signaled patience amid growing hot-seat talk, saying the school will conduct a comprehensive review after the season and is “fully committed to helping Coach Norvell and the 2025 Seminoles strongly rebound,” per ESPN’s Pete Thamel.

It’s abundantly clear that two of the biggest college football programs in the country want to be in the Lane Kiffin business. After respectively firing Brian Kelly and Billy Napier, LSU and Florida are in search of a new head football coach. And both, according to reports, have a keen interest in plucking Kiffin out […]

Week 9 of the College Football season saw five different teams ranked in the AP Top 25 fall, while others nearly found themselves upset.

The upcoming battle between Alabama State and Prairie View A&M is perhaps the most important SWAC contest of the weekend. It features two teams that have long toiled in the shadows of others over the past few years—whether it was FAMU and Jackson State in the SWAC East, or Southern in the SWAC West. This […]

The University of Miami football program made a major recruiting statement this week by flipping 4-star wide receiver Milan Parris from the Iowa State Cyclones, adding to what’s quickly becoming one of the top receiver hauls in the 2026 class. The move elevated the Hurricanes’ 2026 recruiting class to No. 1 in the ACC and […]

The matchup between Michael Vick’s Norfolk State Spartans and DeSean Jackson’s Delaware State Hornets at Lincoln Financial Field is the defining nexus point in the ongoing celebrity coaching experiment. Both former Eagles are on two different paths in their first year: DeSean Jackson, the scrappy upstart, and Michael Vick, the known quantity who’s struggling out […]

Deion Sanders is wearing the Utah loss on his sleeve. After Colorado’s football team 53-7 defeat, he called it the worst of his head-coaching career and admitted he hasn’t even gone home, opting to sleep at the facility as he pushes for quick fixes and accountability heading into homecoming week. “Everyone wants the quick fix, […]

The 2025 LSU football season quickly turned into a disaster. The Tigers are 5-3, but fired Brian Kelly after Texas A&M blew them out in Baton Rouge, 49-25. The firing was chaotic due to the money involved and because LSU does not have a sitting president. Instead of the president, the Louisiana governor, Jeff Landry, […]

Deion Sanders didn’t mince words after Colorado’s 53-7 drubbing at Utah, calling it the worst loss of his six-year college head-coaching career and likening it to “when my mama whooped me as a kid.” The Buffaloes never threatened as 14-point underdogs, mustering just 140 total yards while Utah rolled to 587, including 422 on the […]

After firing Brian Kelly, the LSU football program is without a head coach. And, if Josh Pate is correct, Oregon’s Dan Lanning will not be filling that vacancy. Since leading Oregon back-to-back double-digit win seasons in his first two years as a head coach, including a 2024 Fiesta Bowl victory, Lanning has been a popular […]

Arizona State already navigated life without Sam Leavitt once this month. Ahead of the Utah game, head coach Kenny Dillingham said the QB had been “battling something” since the Sept. 20 Baylor game and called a return “a mini miracle,” before ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported Leavitt would be officially out. That absence paused a hot […]

A few days after James Franklin’s dismissal, the Penn State football team is resetting under interim coach Terry Smith and leaning into an underdog mindset ahead of a trip to face No. 1 Ohio State. The Nittany Lions are 3-4 and searching for stability; Smith’s focus this week is less about outside narratives and more […]

After its third loss in its last four games, LSU finally pulled the plug and fired former football coach Brian Kelly. The move was surprising to some, but not to college football analyst Josh Pate, who saw it coming a mile away. Pate claimed that Kelly has been “checked out” of LSU for years on […]

Ole Miss entered the 2025 college football season with a lot of uncertainty. Lane Kiffin had indeed established a winning culture in Oxford, but the Rebels were essentially a brand-new team after a program-record eight players were taken in the 2025 NFL Draft, including star quarterback Jaxson Dart. As a result, Ole Miss entered Week […]

Magic Johnson hasn’t been pleased with the Michigan State Spartans’ performance in the 2025 college football season so far. Johnson created an unforgettable college basketball career at his alma mater. He won a national championship with them in 1979, coming out as one of the best players to ever represent the Spartans. The praises he […]

The University of Michigan Wolverines football program and head coach Sherrone Moore have officially closed their long‑running battle with the NCAA, ending a two‑year saga tied to the Connor Stalions sign‑stealing investigation.

In one of the more entertaining twists of the 2026 college football recruiting cycle, University of Georgia Bulldogs 5-star commit Jared Curtis turned a wave of speculation into pure comedy after being spotted at the Vanderbilt Commodores’ upset win over the Missouri Tigers. The top quarterback in the 2026 recruiting class — and a Nashville […]

I was an early admirer of Deion Sanders’ success on and off the field in his coaching career, but I have consistently been loud in my criticism of his style of coaching. From the start, I’ve maintained that his over-reliance on the transfer portal in the FBS—without sufficient high-level game planning on offense and defense—would […]

Dylan Edwards didn’t get a positive injury update when it comes to injury status for the Kansas State Wildcats’ upcoming matchup against Texas Tech. Edwards has only been active for four of the team’s eight games this season. He sustained an injury that has since kept him on the sidelines, leaving a hole in the […]

The reasoning behind his resignation is controversial, but as time has passed, Gruden has been accepted back into sports circles. He served as an advisor for the New Orleans Saints in 2023 and then joined […]

In America, sports are a powerful source of cultural unity and interest, a fact Georgia gubernatorial candidate Jason Esteves clearly understands. The State Senator and avid basketball player—a 6’6″ front-court player who uses his size to dominate open runs—launched his mid-April campaign with a compelling basketball-themed commercial aptly called “Underdog”. As Esteves explained in our […]

The 2025 Ole Miss football team has been playing well and got a massive win this past weekend on the road against Oklahoma. One of the things that makes the Rebels unique is that they embody their head coach, Lane Kiffin, and his personality. Kiffin speaks his mind and trash-talks in games, and he went […]

When Kenny Minchey lost the starting quarterback competition to redshirt freshman CJ Carr, Notre Dame football head coach Marcus Freeman didn’t offer comfort—he offered perspective. Freeman, who joined the program in 2021 as defensive coordinator under Brian Kelly before being promoted to head coach that December, has built his tenure on accountability and culture. Since […]

The LSU football team sent shockwaves throughout college football when they decided to fire head coach Brian Kelly shortly after a 49-25 loss against the third-ranked Texas A&M Aggies.

The 2025 Arizona State football team has been less dominant than last season despite getting a massive win two weeks ago against Texas Tech. They have three losses, most recently to Houston at home in a game where the Cougars punched them in the mouth. After the game, it was reported that special teams coordinator […]

After the Ole Miss football team beat the Oklahoma Sooners last Saturday, head coach Brent Venables made an interesting comment in the aftermath of the contest.

The LSU football program fired Brian Kelly after the Tigers failed to meet expectations this year. The final nail in the coffin came after they were blown out at home against Texas A&M.
