Statistically, the Missouri Tigers are still in the running for the College Football Playoff.

It’s hard to believe that this Saturday’s game will mark only the fourth ever meeting between these two teams. I suppose it’s something of a testament to the old Conference system where the only way most Pac12 and B1G teams ever met was at the Rose Bowl (and neither of these teams made it there […]
Boy does it feel good to get back to winning football. Even if, for a moment, it looked like we were about to lose in the most spectacular way possible. But we’re not here to apologize for winning! Fueled by a late 58-yard strike from Caleb Williams to rookie tight end Colston Loveland, the Chicago […]
Ryan Kantor: Before last weekend, FSU had lost nine straight ACC games.

Drake Maye saw action in 13 contests as a rookie in 2024, and along the way was sacked 34 times. As a sophomore, it took him only nine games to match that total: the second most-sacked quarterback in football through Week 9, Maye has been taken down 34 times already this year. This puts him […]
Five games on tap for Thursday and while we thought none of them were interesting…we stand corrected. First the likely blah. Jackson State plays at Louisville, The Citadel is at Boston College, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi visits SMU and Wright State visits Cal. Not to say none of these can’t possibly be good, but the one […]

It’s Homecoming for Arizona, which after crushing Colorado is a win away from bowl eligibility. The last time the Wildcats were at the 5-win mark, in 2023, they hosted UCLA for Homecoming and won 27-10. Maybe history is set to repeat itself? This is the first visit by Kansas (5-4, 3-3 Big 12) to Tucson […]

The last time that happened was 2010-11, and the Illini have now made three bowl games in four seasons. It’s the first time that has happened since 1991-94. The chance to go 9-3 for the second […]
Four, six and five. The point totals for the Loyola (MD) Greyhounds in the second, third and fourth frames, respectively, against the Maryland Terrapins Monday night at XFINITY Center in College Park. Measly single-digit numbers that any defense should be proud of against any Division I-level competition, especially when strung together over three consecutive quarters. […]
With Ole Miss on the cusp of making the college football playoff for the first time, what better way to relax than a noon kickoff against a 4-5 SoCon team that will probably be winning 3-0 at the end of the first quarter. We would love for Ole Miss to flatten the Bulldogs from the […]
With all of the roster upheaval during the offseason for the 15th ranked Notre Dame Women’s Basketball team, it was hard to get a handle on what kind of squad Niele Ivey would put out on the court. Apparently, it’s still a team that will beat the hell out of an inferior opponent inside Purcell […]

Since I’ve already looked back at the Notre Dame games from the year my dad was born (1943) and the year I was born (1971), it felt only right to complete the family trilogy. So this week, I’m rewinding to 1951 — the year my mom was born — and reliving a classic muddy matchup […]
Kentucky’s 49-point second half Tuesday night was a clearer indicator of the kind of team it will be this season. While the lackluster first half can provide a lot of teaching moments for a Wildcats team with a lot of potential, the second half provided reassurances for fans that this team is still going to […]
I like my coffee like I like my state names; without 4 S’s in it. This Saturday presents Georgia an opportunity to beat its second school from Mississippi this season and I for one could not be more excited. The double P’s in the name is one thing. Even with advancements in ophthalmology and the […]

If there was anything that stood out in Tuesday night’s 77-51 win over Nicholls, it’s that the Kentucky Wildcats’ defense is going to be really good this season. It doesn’t matter what team you’re playing; holding an opponent to 3-25 shooting in the first half is insanely good. Kentucky’s defensive performance has some statistical anecdotes […]
