October is in the books. Texas A&M is still unbeaten and the team to beat, Alabama survived their closest conference shave yet, and three teams at the bottom are still looking for their first league win. The SEC championship spots are still up for grabs, though A&M and the Tide can also just win out […]

Exhale. After several emotional comeback victories, while staring defeat dead in the face in a handful of scenarios, BYU is 8-0. And now they get a bye week. Yes, the Cougars are technically perfect after winning their 10th game in a row, dating back to last year’s Houston game and are now 5-0 in Big […]

Well, another rough week in a tough season continues, as I went 3-7 last week. Cal missing a game winning field goal at +6.5 only to lose by 8 in overtime pretty much speaks to how the season has gone. But on we move, and there are some fun ones to pick this weekend. As […]

The regional nightmare which ensnared three of Michigan’s FBS programs together in infamy seems to be reaching its conclusion. On Thursday afternoon, the NCAA Committee of Infractions released their report on Central Michigan’s involvement in the ever-evolving Connor Stalions case, finding four of CMU’s former football staffers responsible in part for obstructing the investigation and […]

Last week ATS: 7-8 (4-4 National, 3-4 B1G) Season ATS: 81-77 (33-40 National, 48-37 B1G) So far this year it has felt like we’ll have one big weekend a month and the rest of the time we are either a game above or below .500. It’s hard to get mad about since our season record […]

With five games left in the regular season, Arizona needs to win at least two of them in order to become bowl eligible. The first opportunity comes Saturday at Colorado. The Buffaloes (3-5, 1-4 Big 12) just lost 53-7 at Utah last weekend but at home are 3-2 with the losses by one score each […]

This defense gives me a bigger migraine than trying to explain to Hawk fans that they aren’t that good. One play we look like a defense that won’t allow a single yard by ground or air, then we look away for two seconds, and our secondary has a coverage lapse that even Uncle Rico could […]

8-0, you are oh so sweet. Last week, we inched closer to Charlotte with a convincing win over a struggling Syracuse team. There is not much time to celebrate, however, because we head back on the road to play the NC State Wolfpack. Quarterback CJ Bailey gave us trouble last year, as he is a […]

The Miami Hurricanes clock in as the 10th-ranked team in the latest AP poll and have their first true road game of the season against the SMU Mustangs. This will be the first time the Hurricanes leave the state of Florida, as they travel to Texas for a big ACC matchup with a ton of […]

There’s a lot of talk about a lack of player-to-university commitment nowadays, but universities can’t seem to commit to their coaches, either. Billy Napier was fired as head coach at Florida football midseason. Brent Pry of Virginia Tech suffered a similar fate. James Franklin of Penn State, DeShaun Foster of UCLA, Mike Gundy of Oklahoma […]

The Kentucky Wildcats were unable to end their SEC losing skid in last week’s blowout loss to Tennessee. Now, the Wildcats get one of their most winnable games left on the schedule on Saturday when they travel to The Plains to face the Auburn Tigers. Ironically, this will be a battle of two head coaches […]

It has often been said that there is no recession-proof program in college football, quite like Ohio State. The Buckeyes have been ranked in the AP Poll more than any team in the sport, and only Alabama has spent more weeks at No. 1. So, to celebrate the program’s indestructibility, the National Bobblehead Hall of […]

The NCAA National Championship returned to an SEC school for the first time since Kentucky won everything in 2012, thanks to the Florida Gators. A trendy pick to finish inside the top 4 of the league, Florida flew under the radar for much of the season thanks in part to, well, not playing anybody. While […]

For the last three weeks, I have written about home field advantage, whether there is one, and which teams in the MWC travel the best. This week on Stats Corner, we are going to look at which stadiums are advantageous for in each category. I realize that some of these advantages are based on teams […]

The rumors came out last night but it is now official. Matt Rhule has agreed to a contract extension with Nebraska through 2032. This would be add an additional two years to his contract. But that is not the most interesting part of this. Reports are that this deal includes a huge incentive for Nebraska […]

With the blowout loss to Utah behind us, Colorado now sits at 3–5 overall and 1–4 in the Big 12. Utah looked cleaner and better prepared at home, and the Buffs came out flat off two full weeks of preparation. The Utes dominated Colorado in terms of coaching, execution and situational discipline. Just to put […]

The win streak has come to an end. In all of Northwestern’s losses this season, Preston Stone has failed to throw a touchdown pass. He also had multiple interceptions in each of the losses. The Wildcats and the Cornhuskers have now split the last 10 matchups at 5-5, with eight of the games being decided […]

The Miami Hurricanes imposed their will in the 2nd half against Stanford to keep their playoff hopes alive. Unfortunately, USF probably saw their hopes go out the window blowing a late lead to Memphis. Coaching searches have taken over in Gainesville before their game against UGA. FSU is playing out the string, and the remainder […]

Coming into the season, this weekend’s matchup was circled as one of the marquee showdowns on the college football calendar. While things have gone a bit sideways in Happy Valley and the game might not carry the same top-ten billing it once promised, Ohio State isn’t taking Penn State lightly. From the coaching staff to […]
