This is what the ACC always hoped for: to have multiple teams playing meaningful football in November with a chance to make the playoffs. You can always have some kind of incomprehensible chaos happen, which brings several teams back into the discussion, but we’re talking about it realistically. Realistically, the ACC is down 4 teams, … Continue reading »

The Spartans remain winless in conference play, with all five of those contests being decided by at least 11 points – and two of them by 25 points. The third of those five games, the Homecoming abomination against UCLA, felt like a team with no fight, […]

They rattled off an 8-0 record in year one to qualify for the ACC Championship Game and then started year two 3-0, remaining unblemished against their new conference peers. All […]

The Wisconsin Badgers had a tough 21-7 loss to the No. 6 Oregon Ducks on Sunday, falling to 2-6 on the season with their sixth-straight loss. The story was the same as it’s been for the Badgers: an anemic offense unable to sustain any momentum. On Saturday, it was one of the worst quarterback showings […]

The Miami Hurricanes won 42-7 on Saturday night over the Stanford Cardinal at Hard Rock Stadium. The spread varied anywhere from 31ish down to 28.5. It was a win and a cover for the Hurricanes. But, for me, the old motto of “good teams win, great teams cover” doesn’t quite hit home for me after […]

Yeeesh. Listen, I’ll gladly take the W and nod along with the “found a way to win it” crowd. But this game did very little to assuage the nerves I wrote about after the Mizzou win. These close games feel unsustainable (though, I also said that a few weeks, and a few wins, ago). I’ll […]

It was late heartbreak for the Wildcats on Friday, as an 87th minute penalty from Mitar Mitrovic gave No. 13 Michigan a 2-1 come-from-behind victory. The win leaves Northwestern in a tie for last place in the Big Ten standings. The ’Cats sit on only five points after seven games. Meanwhile, Michigan’s victory propels it […]

Let’s throw some quick love to the Iowa football twitter account. Got to hand it to the Iowa media crew. They have crushed for the last three weeks, going back to the Wisconsin game. Absolute fire from those people. To the game! I really thought this would be close. Minnesota allowed 294 yards per game […]

Gonzaga’s exhibition against Western Oregon comes with a direct line back to Mark Few’s earliest coaching days. Western Oregon’s new head coach, Ryan Orton, is the son of Doug Orton, the high school coach who hired Few for his very first coaching job at Creswell High School in the mid-1980s. Few ran the freshman team […]

Detailed. Accountable. Relentless. Touch. Toughness Those are the words Fran Brown’s program lives by and while some of you would debate this, I think that even in the last four games that Syracuse has held up to those standards….the first one though has been lacking and it’s killing the Orange. Syracuse was blown out as […]

However, what was forecasted as the biggest game of the regular season has lost its luster thanks to the Nittany Lions 0-4 start in Big Ten play. The Buckeyes will be […]
