During the final week of the regular season, some teams played for playoff spots or division titles. Some played for seeding. Others played for draft positioning. We saw less starters than usual this year with many teams only playing for minor potential seed changes (shockingly, the Rams did play starters). Individual players, even those on…
If your team is playing in one of these bowls, congratulations! Normally I’d say “your team is at least 6-6”, but so many schools disturbingly opted out of these games, more 5-7 squads than usual made the cut. If you love football like me, then you’ll appreciate the teams that did show up instead of…
Round 2 of the College Football Playoff has come and gone, and we’re down to just 4 teams. Last week, we got our first road CFP wins (not at neutral sites) in the 12-team era. However, last year, all four teams with byes went down. This long layoff is clearly something the committee needs to…
Happy New Year everyone! Just one more game remains for each team with week 17 complete, and we’ve already seen many teams clinch and several players set records. I thought we had all our takeaways neatly tied up heading into Sunday night, and then THAT game happened, so you get a rare 6th one this…
On this page, I’m going to be providing the free agent signing grades for the notable signings and extensions that occur in 2025 (most recent first) based on how good a deal the signing team obtained and the type of impact I expect the player to have. Please note that an offseason signing cannot be…
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! If you’re reading this, your level of holiday cheer may depend on what happened with your team. The good: the Seahawks, 49ers, Bears, Eagles, Jaguars, Patriots, Chargers, and Bills all clinched playoff berths. The bad: Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa got benched, and replacement Quinn Ewers was much worse. In more…
We have finally arrived! It’s year two of the revamped College Football Playoff, and the committee almost aligned with my personal picks again. We were just one team apart, so I’m pretty happy with that. The top 4 seeds got byes, while the other 8 participants played for the right to face them. In the…
Just when we all started getting in the holiday spirit, things started happening and shook us. A team we have grown accustomed to seeing in February has been eliminated in December. Multiple stars went down with serious injuries. Normally elite K Brandon Aubrey missed not once, but TWICE. Fortunately, plenty of good things happened to…
One team’s misfortune can be another team’s triumph. Cincinnati and Buffalo played a thrilling shootout in the snow, but only the Bills have a realistic shot at the playoffs as a result. Chicago and Baltimore had agonizing finishes to their games, but Pittsburgh and Green Bay relished taking over first place in their respective divisions….
We’ve finally made it! All the games (except bowls) have been played, we know the conference champions, and we’re about ready to find out who made the CFP. Before the committee releases the official results, I wanted to share who I thought should be in and the order in which they should be ranked. I…
