Well, here we are. Up until now, I took this article about as serious as I did high school Spanish. No more. Thanks to Miami blowing the game to Louisville last Friday night, I now to have to pay attention to conference standings, root for certain teams, blah blah blah. Super lame. At least I […]

Wow, it’s crazy that we had another bye week so soon. I mean there was definitely not a game last week, so another bye week must be what that was. These Huskers are going to be refreshed and motivated when the Wildcats come to Memorial Stadium on Saturday. #1 PROTECTING THE QUARTERBACK It’s pretty hard […]

The Wisconsin Badgers take on the No. 6 Oregon Ducks this Saturday night in Eugene. Last season, the Badgers fought tooth and nail with the Ducks at Camp Randall Stadium. Despite holding a 10-6 halftime lead over the No. 1-ranked Ducks, the Badgers fell 16-13 on a field goal by Atticus Sappington, and a late […]

I think we remember eras by players. Unless a coach is at a spot for a long period of time, you tend to associate them with the players who embodied their achievements and/or failures. Who doesn’t tie Ed Orgeron and Joe Burrow at the hip? Even despite everything that came after. I think that, when […]

Saturday’s game against the Scarlet Knights might be the last chance this Purdue team has to win a football game this season. That’s not a good feeling, but maybe it helps the team focus on the matchup as they find a way to win? I asked the staff for their predictions for this weekend’s contest. […]

The Hawkeyes fought for the full four quarters a week ago and emerged victorious over Penn State to move to 5-2 on the year and 3-1 in Big Ten play. While they won the game outright, they notably did not cover while hitting the over. This week, Iowa opened as a pretty big favorite against […]

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are slowly, but surely, moving up the rankings as they work toward a college football playoff berth. The boys are off this week and are at home eating cheeseburgers, but there’s an entire college football world that plays this weekend. It’s playoff football every week for the Irish moving forward, […]

It feels like more than a formality that the Ohio State Buckeyes are going to be in the College Football Playoff this December. If the Playoff still only had four teams, I would feel just as confident in saying that this Buckeye team would be one of four teams playing for a national championship. It’s […]

I kinda like that Vanderbilt is good at football. I don’t really like it when Mizzou has to play them. But the story is otherwise very cool. From the overlooked quarterback who now headlines nearly every college football story, to the revival of Jerry Kill, to the fact that Vanderbilt is bowl eligible after 7 […]

Sitting in sole possession of last place in the Mountain West, Nevada will host one of its longtime rivals for possibly the last time in a bit. Boise State will be heading to a new conference next year, and they’ll be plenty of festivities before this game. Boise State (5-2, 3-0) @ Nevada (1-6, 0-3) […]

Kansas finally returns to the friendly confines of Memorial Stadium, as it is once again the Jayhawks’ turn to host the annual Sunflower Showdown. Kansas is still 65-52-5 all-time vs K-State, but the only number I care about right now is 17; the Purple Cats have won 16 in a row in this series. I […]

This week’s highlights include a pair of big rivalry games as Minnesota goes to Iowa for the Floyd of Rosedale and Michigan State hosts Michigan. I supposed Purdue-Rutgers could also be considered a rivalry game, as both teams are definitely rivals this year with “winning Big Ten games”. I am also curious to see if […]

Chaos still rules the ACC, where a Friday upset in Miami, a grinder in Durham, and a few wild finishes only tightened the race for Charlotte instead of clarifying it. The top tier now has company, the middle is a mosh pit, and the next few weeks will determine whose play holds up—and whose luck […]

To steal from the once popular Kim Possible: “HERE’S THE SITCH” The Fighting Illini football team sits at a 5-2 record with five games left. It starts this weekend in Seattle vs. the Washington Huskies. The Huskies are 5-2 as well, and even though Illinois is back in the rankings at No. 23, they are […]

On the bright side for NC State, both Noah Rogers and Terrell Anderson are good to go this week, as neither appeared on the initial injury report for the Pitt game. On the unpleasant side, NC State’s two starting offensive guards are listed as questionable. The Wolfpack defense will again be without Sean Brown, AJ […]

Ole Miss may be walking into an early kickoff buzzsaw in Norman on Saturday if oddsmakers and computer nerds are right with its predictions. FanDuel Sportsbook lists the Sooners (6-1, 2-1 SEC) with a -5.5 spread against the Rebels (6-1, 3-1 SEC) with a -200 moneyline. ESPN’s Football Power Index gives Oklahoma a 55 percent […]

Special thanks to Kedrick Stumbris of Talkin’ Badgers for joining me to discuss Wisconsin’s roster on this week’s podcast: The Wisconsin Badgers have many, many problems. Disentangling which of these came from dealing with some of the most horrific injury luck I’ve ever seen, which were the forseeable results of poor choices, and which were […]
