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…
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! One of the treats of the holiday is extra football. We’ll naturally start with that trio of Thursday football games, but that was just the beginning. For the first time ever, we got to enjoy Black Friday football, even if the game wasn’t hotly contested. In fact, none of the primetime games…
If it feels like I JUST wrote an article grading a Frank Reich firing, that’s because I did. However, that post concerned his dismissal from the Colts after nearly 5 years with the team. Today, he was fired by the Carolina Panthers after just 11 games, marking the second-shortest tenure in NFL history. Only Pete…
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…
There are some things in the NFL that you can just expect. For example, Jets’ QB Zach Wilson played poorly enough to get benched (we’ll talk more about that if he doesn’t start next week), and Denver S Kareem Jackson was suspended again for a dirty hit. Others, such as Detroit QB Jared Goff and…
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…
The AFC North provided some wild football once again. Cleveland completed an unlikely comeback against Baltimore, one of the league’s best teams. Pittsburgh held on despite a late push by Green Bay. Cincinnati…well, we’ll get to them later. Elsewhere, several QBs were replaced, and a couple others returned. We’ll discuss a few of these. Backups…
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…
What a post-trade deadline week huh? The Giants were blown out by a Raiders team that just cleaned house, and QB Daniel Jones returned only to leave with a torn ACL. Indianapolis embarrassed former HC Frank Reich, now the coach of Carolina. Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill had a big mouth during the week but then…
