The spring games and practices are over. We have some sort of idea of how teams will look when they take the field in August. There are still a few hundred players left in the portal. For many of those players, their careers are over. For the others, they are looking to get a chance […]

Now that the spring games are over, we have a little better idea of who is going to show up under center for the first snap of the season for most teams. Only six starters from the 16 Big 12 teams retain their starters from last year. Nine more imports started for their schools last […]

Now that the spring games are over, we have a little better idea of who is going to show up under center for the first snap of the season for most teams. Only five starters from the 17 ACC teams retain their starters from last year. Three more ACC quarterbacks switched teams within the conference. […]

Does anyone remember November 3, 2007? Yes, 2007 was arguably the best college football season we have ever had. FCS Appalachian State knocked off a top-5 team in the opening weekend in arguably the biggest upset in college football history. Conferences made sense. At least one top-5 team fell every week. No. 1 and No. […]

The NCAA Tournament didn't see a lot of first-round upsets. Two of the biggest upsets of the first weekend were made by major conference teams with low seeds (Texas and Iowa). Part of that is the committee "rewarding" the top mid-major teams with eight and nine seeds, pitting them against one of the four best […]

We just crowned another champion. That makes 26 this century. We are a little over a quarter of the way through this century, and we have seen some dominant teams cut down the nets. We've seen a few generationally good teams fail to win the title (Kentucky in 2015 comes to mind). Some teams tried […]

Conference realignment is all the rage right now as conferences look to monopolize good teams to get better TV deals and teams look for more security. Money has destroyed much of what makes college football special. The collapse of the Pac-12 and the radical changes in the Big 12 have led to many rivalry games […]

Eight teams have advanced to next weekend. We have eight more to go! The Friday games were all chalk once the officials got involved in the Kentucky game. Utah State disposed of an 8-seed, but they were favored in the game. Vegas knows. There are a couple of games that are likely to be high-scoring, […]

The 16-game extravaganza on Thursday leads to eight games today. These are 16 solid teams. We had some fun upsets, some would-be upsets until the officials got involved, and some wall-to-wall blowouts. Those should be less frequent in these eight games, but honestly, I think I only see one game that could be a blowout. […]

Yesterday's monster slate was a lot of fun! Are you back for more? I'm ready! We have one more big slate to go before they get progressively smaller to close the season. This is like Christmas Eve and Christmas morning to me. We are on to the Christmas morning portion of the program. You have […]

The NCAA Tournament seedings are usually a hotly contested topic from the time that the bracket drops until someone cuts down the nets. Some of these are based on how teams finished. Some are based on metrics. Before we go too off the rails about seeding, it is worth noting a few rules that the […]

Today is the real start of the NCAA Tournament, and the largest slate of college basketball games you will ever find. It only happens twice a year, on the first two days of the NCAA Tournament. This is like Christmas Eve and Christmas morning to me. I cleaned up some NIT slates to build some […]

We are on the eve of the greatest four days of sports on the planet. None of my ranked teams missed the NCAA Tournament. The perfect run for the Miami Redhawks was spoiled in the quarterfinals of the MAC Tournament. Some are disappointed with the draw in a "play-in" game, but why? Dayton is right […]

Curt Cignetti's success at Indiana after moving from James Madison has changed college football coaching cycles forever. We saw a lot of coaches lose jobs last year, even ones we thought were untouchable (Brian Kelly and James Franklin). Some coaches were fired for poor performance. Some were fired because the teams were stuck in the […]

The field of 68 is finally out, and we are on the brink of the four greatest days in any sport in any country on any continent. The NCAA Tournament is an entirely different animal, and the first four days of this behemoth are the most fun days you'll have watching sports, whether it's by […]

There was more chaos to end the regular season, but one team from tiny Oxford, Ohio, refuses to lose. No matter what happens in the conference tournament, the 2025-26 Miami Redhawks will be a story told for generations. 2020-21 Gonzaga was the last team to go undefeated in the regular season. It lost in the […]

The transfer portal is mostly closed, even though we still see some entrants trickling in. We know all about those impact transfers like Sam Leavitt, Caleb Hawkins, and Cam Coleman. What about the guys who aren't talked about as much? How many had heard of Cam Cook before the season last year? He wasn't talked […]

Every team on the list except UConn has two regular-season games left. Conference play has wreaked havoc on teams in nearly every conference, yet we still have this one team from Oxford, Ohio that just refuses to lose. No matter what happens from here on out, the 2025-26 Miami Redhawks will be a story told […]

There are only two weeks left of the regular season. Where did the season go? I have a theory. Back in the "old days," college football ended during the first couple of days of January. College basketball took center stage for the entirety of the conference season. All was right in the world. Now with […]

Four-star Fairhope, Alabama, quarterback Gunner Rivers has committed to North Carolina State. Gunner is the son of eight-time NFL Pro-Bowl quarterback Philip Rivers, who starred in college for North Carolina State. Philip Rivers started all four of his seasons at North Carolina State from 2000-03. He threw for a school record 13,484 yards and 95 […]

Who is the best team ever? Since college football began in 1869, not one person has seen every championship team play. The ambiguity of early polls sometimes crowned several champions per season. The AP Poll in 1936 helped to alleviate that, but there were still issues. Issues that still aren't completely resolved. When I was […]

One of the two remaining undefeated teams fell this week. As with the ones before them, Arizona lost both games last week. What is it with losses coming in pairs for undefeated teams this year? We crown a new top team this week and have some more shakeups throughout the rankings. Let's see how far […]

It seems like bowl season took as long as the regular season itself. The 2025 season is over, and we have the first 16-0 team since 1894. It is a brand new world in college football. In case you didn't follow along this year, I picked every single college football game against the spread. I […]

There was a shakeup in the top 5 once again, with one of the last three undefeated teams falling. As with the last two undefeated teams, this team also lost twice in the same week, as Purdue and V...

College football has always induced passionate arguments from fans. For over 100 years, the argument over who was the best team wasn't settled on the field. When BYU won the national championship in 1984, the big conferences were so mad that they began collaborating on ways to keep something like that from ever happening again. […]

There is only one team that made it out of the first-round bye in the expanded playoff out of the eight that tried. It's the Indiana Hoosiers, who feel like the team of destiny. On the other side, we have a team that couldn't even get into the ACC Championship Game. Did the second expanded […]

Conference road games turned out to be very tough for some of the higher-ranked teams. We have some big shakeups in our rankings, which means it was a fun week! Not for fans of the teams who lost,...

We have one more classic DraftKings college football tournament for the 2025 season. It's the Final Four in college football. Are these the best four teams in college football? Probably not, but one of the teams is the one that was ranked at the top of my rankings for most of the season. Bias in […]

All teams are now in the midst of conference play. If the first week of conference play is any indication, we are in for a fun two months! We had a few upsets this week and several overtime games....

Last week, we did a rundown of the best player performances in the College Football Playoff. With the CFP semifinals coming up this week, we're going to take another stroll down memory lane and rank all 22 of the CFP semifinal games. Since the introduction of a four-team playoff in 2014, there has been some […]
