Week 2 always brings us some crazy outcomes. A top-10 team went down at home, and so did Notre Dame! Two FCS teams earned wins against “mismatch” opponents. Given that so many unheralded teams made noise, I thought we’d make this week’s theme about the underdogs. Aside from my first section, which addresses a game…
The NCAA football season has finally arrived. Last year was hectic; this year is set to be complete mayhem. Realignment accelerated, culminating in the Pac-12’s demise. The transfer portal became more hectic than the caricature in those Dr. Pepper commercials. But now is when things settle down and we just play football! In case you…
As fans of the NCAA Football video game series from EA SPORTS are almost certainly aware, the newest edition of the game is launching on July 19 following an 11-year gap since the last release. Given how little is going on in real football before training camp starts in the NFL, I thought we’d take…
You’ve probably heard all about NIL (name, image, and likeness) recently. The concept has greatly benefitted college players, who can now profit off their use in commercials, endorsements, etc. One thing you might not have been told is how the NFL Draft comes into play here. In this article, we’re going to take stock of…
This is it. Everything that the 128 FBS teams have gone through has culminated in this moment. Now, only two teams remain. They happen to be the only two unbeaten teams in the country: Michigan and Washington. I imagine the CFP committee is flexing somewhere right now given that their top 2 teams both made…
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…
