The NCAA football season has finally arrived. We shouldn’t have as much chaos concerning the college football paradigm this year. Realignment has largely settled down for now, and the CFP’s biggest change was a shift to straight seeding. In case you weren’t with us last year, in these weekly posts, I discuss everything that happened…
At this point, you’ve probably heard constant takes about Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders’ fall to the 5th round of the NFL draft a couple of weeks ago. We even touched on it a bit. However, he’s not the only notable QB who slid. Texas’ Quinn Ewers, a former 5-star recruit and projected 3rd-round selection, lasted…
This is it. Everything that the 134 FBS teams have gone through has culminated in this moment. Just two teams remained: (8) Ohio State and (7) Notre Dame. The former is a juggernaut that obliterated their first 3 CFP opponents. The other is a gritty squad that fights through adversity like no other. So who…
In our 3rd round of the CFP, seeds 5-8 battled for the right to compete for the big trophy. Notre Dame squeaked by Penn State at the Orange Bowl, while Ohio State took on Texas and won soundly at the Cotton Bowl. We had no blowouts though, which was refreshing. The winners play in the…
If your team is playing in one of these bowls, congratulations! Your team is at least 6-6 (except for one 5-7 team that served as a last-second substitute), and they’ve achieved one of their season-long goals. If your team isn’t here, then you just love football, and hopefully you’ll be happy reading this as well….
Round 2 of the College Football Playoff has come and gone, and we’re down to just 4 teams. Last week, every higher-seeded team won. This time, the four conference champions with the top 4 seeds, as well as precious bye weeks, all went down. #1 simply ran into a buzz saw. #2 had too many…
We have finally arrived! Much has been made about the revamped College Football Playoff, and with an extra round of play, we got off to an earlier start this year. Amazingly, the committee aligned really well with my personal picks, only differing on seeding. The top 4 seeds got byes, while the other 8 participants…
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…
Welcome to the conference championships! For most of these teams, this is the big goal. A select few have CFP dreams. I’ll be covering each of the 9 FBS title games (no Pac-12 this year), so expect a long article. Therefore, I’m not going to do specific CFP and draft sections here. I’m writing a…
Welcome to rivalry week, where familiarity and contempt can breed unusual results. Two coaches are already out, with UNC firing Mack Brown and UCF’s Gus Malzahn leaving to take the FSU OC job. Poor Kent State became the only FBS team to finish 0-2. At the high end, (3) Texas, (9) SMU and (16) Arizona…
