Coming off last week’s divisional round action, two Super Bowl berths were for the taking. Following two Sunday matchups, we’ve got our big game participants. (2) New England barely survived Denver despite a blizzard and the Broncos starting a backup QB. (1) Seattle outlasted the (5) Rams in a classic matchup that might just mean…
This is it. Everything that the 136 FBS teams have gone through has culminated in this moment. Just two teams remained: (1) Indiana and (10) Miami. We all expected the Hoosiers to be here. The Hurricanes barely got into the field but won 3 nail-biters to play for this title. So who won the Dr….
The NFL playoffs got underway last week, and in this round, we had the last 8 battling. Our two 1-seeds finally joined the party, with Denver and Seattle playing their first games of the postseason. Both one, but the Seahawks had a much easier time. All four games took place in outdoor stadiums, and two…
Now that we’ve said goodbye to more than half of the league’s teams, it was time for the remaining 14 squads to prove that they should advance in the playoffs. This week, 12 competed. Denver and Seattle earned the byes in their respective conferences, getting the week off. Mistakes are amplified in the postseason because…
In our 3rd round of the CFP, we had our first-ever 10-seed advance when Miami defeated (6) Ole Miss in an all-time battle. The Fiesta Bowl was much less dramatic, with (1) Indiana thoroughly dispatching (5) Oregon. These winners will play in the National Championship Game on January 19th at Hard Rock Stadium. It should…
We’ve made it to the end of the regular season, which means it’s time for my final power rankings! Eighteen teams said goodbye this week, though many of them knew the end was upon them weeks ago. Maybe even months ago for a select few. They’ll all have the draft and free agency to try…
During the final week of the regular season, some teams played for playoff spots or division titles. Some played for seeding. Others played for draft positioning. We saw less starters than usual this year with many teams only playing for minor potential seed changes (shockingly, the Rams did play starters). Individual players, even those on…
If your team is playing in one of these bowls, congratulations! Normally I’d say “your team is at least 6-6”, but so many schools disturbingly opted out of these games, more 5-7 squads than usual made the cut. If you love football like me, then you’ll appreciate the teams that did show up instead of…
Round 2 of the College Football Playoff has come and gone, and we’re down to just 4 teams. Last week, we got our first road CFP wins (not at neutral sites) in the 12-team era. However, last year, all four teams with byes went down. This long layoff is clearly something the committee needs to…
Happy New Year everyone! Just one more game remains for each team with week 17 complete, and we’ve already seen many teams clinch and several players set records. I thought we had all our takeaways neatly tied up heading into Sunday night, and then THAT game happened, so you get a rare 6th one this…
