Despite the Buffs’ recent woes, Tuesday brought some genuine good news on the recruiting front. Colorado landed a new commitment from Alexander Ward, a four-star, two-way standout at IMG Academy in Florida. Ward is originally from Marietta, Georgia, and he was previously committed to Alabama before reopening his recruitment. He formally visited Colorado on August […]
With all these previews, I try to take an optimistic spin. That might prove next to impossible with this Badger offense. Let’s get to it. The Numbers You don’t need advanced stats to understand this offense, the raw numbers do just fine painting an ugly enough picture: Points per game: 12.5 Rushing yards per game: […]
There have been plenty of things said about last Saturday’s gut-wrenching loss to USC. One thing that hasn’t been mentioned enough, may you recover fully and expediently Dylan Raiola. I know that the lone sack USC had was because he held onto the ball too long, but the fact remains that a healthy Dylan Raiola […]
The Syracuse Orange have completed the 2027 non-conference portion of their schedule by adding the Fordham Rams. It’s going to be the first time the two New York schools have played since 1954 when Syracuse beat the Rams in a game at the Polo Grounds. The two schools have met just seven times with the […]

In a shocking turn of events, Rhode Island athletic director Thorr Bjorn, who had recently signed a five-year extension in June, has reportedly been hired to join the UMass athletic department as a “senior deputy athletic director” and “chief of business administration.” ESPN’s Pete Thamel was first to report, with UMass confirming the hire on […]
“Does Chauncey Billups know about this poker game?” I asked jokingly as I walked into the clubhouse. The old men sitting around the table looked up at me, briefly, not all of them, as if they couldn’t be bothered.

With Indiana set to travel take on Penn State on Saturday at Beaver Stadium in State College, Pennsylvania, we reached out to our friends at Black Shoe Diaries with a few questions on the Nittany Lions. They answered. Here’s what they had to say: Q: There’s obviously quite a bit to talk about, but let’s […]
After a tough game against the Noles last weekend, the Deacs do not get much of a break as they head to Charlottesville to take on an 8-1 Virginia team that is currently unbeaten in conference play and has their sights set on the ACC Championship Game. With their win over Cal last weekend, the […]
The first College Football Playoff poll of the 2025 season is out! Unsurprisingly, Ohio State, Indiana, and Texas A&M lead the way in the CFP odds following the release of the first set of rankings. How did the new poll affect the rest of the contenders? How far did Miami fall after a disappointing ranking? Let’s look at the latest CFP odds as the first official batch of rankings is out. Oct 25, 2025; Columbia, South Carolina, USA; Alabama Crimson Tide offensive lineman Kad...

It didn’t take long for my winning streak to evaporate. Tulane’s Green Wave fell at the Alamo midweek. An omen before I was even able to greet anyone with “Joyeaux la veille de la Toussaint.” The script was written. I didn’t need any admonition from Father Brennan, something like, “You’ll see me in hell, Seedy, […]
Happy Gump Day, one and all. It’s a very big weekend for the Crimson Tide: The No. 4 Alabama football team hosts the 5-3 LSU Tigers. Don’t sleep on them either. Despite the trio of SEC losses, they were all to teams ranked inside the Top 10, and LSU even held the halftime lead against […]
Over the last couple weeks, there’s been much digital ink spilled around these parts fretting over the national polls. Frankly, it’s been more widespread than even just these parts. As of last week, we got the national media starting to take notice of the disrespect on Iowa’s name. But at the end of the day, […]
By defeating Penn State 38-14 on Saturday, Ohio State earned its ninth consecutive win over the Nittany Lions.

Julian Sayin was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week after completing 20 of 23 pass attempts for over […]
It’s been 11 years since Missouri last beat Texas A&M. Now, to be fair, there has only been two meetings since that time; once in Eli Drinkwitz’s first non-COVID season and then last year’s debacle that we don’t need to relive. In fact, despite sharing a conference for 29 years, the Tigers and the Aggies […]
Hey TOC Nation, we got two more survey questions for you this week. First up, let’s look back at the first start for Alessio Milivojevic at quarterback. He finished the 23-20 OT loss throwing 20/28 for 311 yards and one touchdown. We ask you grade this based on it being his first game, not on […]
North Carolina’s offense has not been their strong suit in 2025. They’re averaging under 20 points per game, and last week’s win over Syracuse was the first time this year they’ve put up over 25 against an FBS team. One power conference team that has a very coherent argument for having an even worse offense […]
Unlike a portion of the Syracuse fanbase, the Orange’s performance last week against North Carolina didn’t scare away one recruit. Safety Tedarius Hughes flipped his commitment from Florida State to Syracuse yesterday. Hughes is a teammate of Orange commit Calvin Russell at Miami Northwestern and he’s rated four-stars by On3 and ESPN and 3 stars […]
The School: Auburn University Record: 4-5 (1-5 in the SEC) Ranking: LOL no. Oh, actually SP+ has them as #33. That is … something? I normally like Bill C’s work, so maybe there is something there. Mascot: Aubie the Tiger. He is awesome. Truly a fantastic mascot. Location: Auburn, Alabama Coach: Hugh Freeze errr DJ […]
