College Football Playoffs Power Rankings for 2024

The field for the first 12-team College Football Playoff has now been set, and, of course, it was met with controversy, mostly surrounding SMU getting a bid over Alabama. That's a pretty silly argument—Alabama lost three times, including twice, to 6-6 teams. If the Tide wanted in, they should have beaten either Vanderbilt or Oklahoma. […]

2024 College Football Playoff Bracket Reaction - What The Committee Got Right And Wrong

The College Football Playoff Committee put themselves in an impossible situation. They ranked teams with weak schedules and/or no ranked wins too high and boxed themselves in. They couldn't get out of it and SEC teams kept losing. That's the storyline going around. What the committee ended up doing was kicking the SEC hornet's nest. […]

2024 College Football Playoff Picture, Projections, Outlook: Selection Sunday

Here we sit on the morning of the selection of the largest playoff field college football has ever seen. It feels just like I thought it would: gross. Conference Championship Week was more exciting than usual, even in games that featured teams that were already in. That's good. There was not an armageddon scenario for […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (12/7/24)

We only have one college football slate left that is larger than this one (December 28). Let's enjoy these before they get smaller and more difficult to navigate.

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily College Fantasy Football (12/6/24)

All we have left before the bowl games is conference championship week. There are fewer conferences, but the NCAA split the games up this year. Having three games on Friday is a nice touch. The other six on Saturday give every game the attention it deserves. I can get on board with this change. The […]

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread: Championship Week (12/6 And 12/7 2024)

It has all come down to Championship Week. Of course, it's a little anticlimactic when half of the teams that will be in the playoff aren't playing this week. We still have some drama with the Big 12 (16) likely only getting the champion in. Boise State is in a position where they need to […]

College Football Betting Picks: Week 14 2024 Results

We go from the largest betting week of college football to one of the smallest. We only have nine conference championship games now.

College Football 2024 Heisman Trophy Watchlist After Week 14

Week 14 of the college football season is in the rearview mirror. In fact, the whole regular season is over. It's basically time to award the Heisman Trophy.

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 15

Ohio State loses to Michigan again, but it will only affect their playoff seeding, not their participation in said event. Miami's loss will have them sweating on Selection Sunday. Most of the playoff field will be set if indeed the committee keeps its word about participation in the conference championship game not negatively affecting the […]

Bold Predictions for Conference Championship Week - 2024 College Football

All roads lead to conference championship week. After a wild Week 14, the slate does not look how it was previously anticipated to look.

2024 College Football Playoff Picture, Projections, Outlook (Week 15 Update)

This was intended to be a monthly update of the playoff picture, but things have gotten wild in the first couple weeks of November. Wild enough that we at RotoBaller thought it was necessary to do a weekly update for the last few weeks of the season. Week 14 saw Georgia survive, and no fewer […]

College Football Betting Picks: Against The Spread (11/30/24)

We close out the regular season in style today with 50 games. Most of these are rivalries and some of them have clever little nicknames. Not Ohio State and Michigan. "The Game?" Really? Get a little more creative! Like Farmageddon. Farmageddon is good. I got some of the chaos right last week, but not where […]

We have a nice 14-game slate on Friday. While all of you are out shopping, I'll be home watching (and betting) on football trying to make some extra money for Christmas. Tis the season, after all.

Bold Predictions for Week 14 - 2024 College Football

We may be back. Last week’s bold predictions column went 2-of-3, as Ohio State and Arizona State both delivered. Colorado -- not so much.  This week is the most anticipated in any college football regular season: Rivalry week. This season’s highlight game is a rivalry renewed, as Texas travels to Kyle Field to play Texas […]

College Football Risers and Fallers After Week 13 - 2024 College Football

With now just rivalry week left in the books for college football’s regular season, the playoff picture continued to shape up and was further refined in a wild Week 13.  The craziness started in the noon slate, as Ohio State proved that they are among the nation’s top teams as they rolled over Indiana. Ole […]

NCAA College Football Power Rankings - 2024 Week 14

Oklahoma, Auburn, and Florida nuked the SEC. Indiana falls to Ohio State. The Kansas Jayhawks quest for a bowl claims another victim. It was just another day in the college football universe, but it could shake up these rankings a bit. These rankings will vary from the AP ones because I don't go off speculation. […]

College Football 2024 Heisman Trophy Watchlist After Week 13

Week 13 of the college football season is in the rearview mirror. The Heisman Trophy race is down to just four players at this point, but that doesn't mean we have to just ignore every other player out there. No individual trophy in sports means as much as the Heisman Trophy, which recognizes the best […]

2024 College Football Playoff Picture, Projections, Outlook (Week 14 Update)

This was intended to be a monthly update of the playoff picture, but things have gotten wild in the first couple weeks of November. Wild enough that we at RotoBaller thought it was necessary to do a weekly update for the last few weeks of the season. Week 13 was massive chaos and whittling this […]
