Here we are! After a long wait and many exciting bowls, we finally arrive at the College Football Playoff. Georgia comes in as a heavy favorite, but the games aren’t played on paper. They play Ohio State, a team who didn’t even make their conference title game and unjustifiably backed in. Kindly see the USC…
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’m going to be covering every one of the 10 FBS title games, so be ready for a long article. With that in mind, I’m not going to do specific CFP and draft sections…
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. Michigan thumped Ohio State despite questions about the Wolverines’ real level. South Carolina showed up to Death Valley…
When a week has only two matchups in which both teams are ranked, almost any loss by a ranked team is likely going to be viewed as an upset. Beyond (20) UCF’s loss to Navy, which has become somewhat of a yearly occurrence, the top 25 was ravaged by upsets, with (5) Tennessee (blowout), (13)…
We only had a little bit of movement in the college football hierarchy. The favored teams in the top 15 all won except two, and the teams occupying playoff positioning shouldn’t change this Tuesday. CJ Stroud and Hendon Hooker, the two top Heisman candidates, both held serve. Other than QB Brennan Armstrong throwing pick sixes…
The CFP committee released their first official rankings on Tuesday, and as usual, they messed things up. This seems to happen every year, so 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…
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….
For once, we had a pretty calm week! There was only one true top-25 upset that we probably should have seen coming (LSU over Ole Miss; 10 over 9 doesn’t qualify), while two of the top teams (Georgia and Michigan) were idle. I’ve decided that I’m going to try and put a draft-related discussion at…
This is the kind of week that college football fans love. We’ve got SIX top-25 matchups. You normally only see that during rivalry week, conference championship week, and bowl season. Three of those six pit undefeated teams against one another. Plenty of other matchups provided additional intrigue. Let’s keep this intro short and sweet and…
