Here we are! After a long wait and many exciting bowls, we finally arrive at the College Football Playoff. Michigan is our 1 seed, but could their easy schedule belie an overrated team? They face Alabama, the SEC champions who arrived via an improbable path.. As my CFP picks tell you, I didn’t have them…
If your team is playing in one of these bowls, congratulations! Your team is at least 6-6 (unless it’s Minnesota…5-7 got you in due to your school’s academic progress rate!), 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…
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 10 FBS title games, so expect a long article. Therefore, I’m not going to do specific CFP and draft sections this time. I will write a separate article…
It’s rivalry week! Teams have a knack for showing up in ways they haven’t all year when playing their rivals. These matchups often bring out the best in players and coaches, and this week was no different. (8) Alabama survived in improbable fashion against Auburn in the Iron Bowl. (20) Oklahoma State got up off…
Just one more week of the regular season remains, and things are coming into focus. The playoff race is down to 9 teams, with Georgia and Oregon seeming the most dangerous. Ducks QB Bo Nix made a Heisman statement with 6 TD passes this week (all in 1 half!), but LSU’s Jaylen Daniels won’t cede…
No top-8 teams lost, so don’t expect to see much movement in the CFP rankings. That doesn’t mean we didn’t see or learn anything though! (2) Georgia showed off again versus a top-10 foe, (3) Michigan got its first test against a legitimate opponent, and the best QBs found ways to win even if they…
The CFP committee released their first official rankings on Tuesday, and as usual, they messed things up. Each week, I’m going to dedicate one of my takeaways below to analyzing their rankings. I’ll explain where they went wrong (or right if that miraculously happens) and why, as well as what I’d do differently. For my…
The first official College Football Playoff rankings of the season come out on Tuesday, so I thought I’d do something a little different. I’m going to discuss each team that I think belongs in the initial top 4 below. I probably won’t agree with the CFP committee (I almost never do), but that’s too bad….
Another exciting week of college football has come to a close! Outside of (10) North Carolina, we mostly saw near-upsets rather than converted upsets. (5) Washington, (6) Oklahoma, (8) Texas, (11) Alabama, (14) Utah and (23) Tulane all faced close calls but came through as the victors. The rest of the results were mostly what…
