SMU’s transition to the ACC had been seamless. The Mustangs jumped from the American Conference to the Atlantic Coast Conference without requiring an acclimation period. 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 […]
After a 14-point win over Iowa State, BYU moved up one spot to #10 in the AP Poll released Sunday. BYU is tied with Miami at #10 in the poll. BYU is one of five Big 12 teams ranked along with Texas Tech (13), Cincinnati (17), Houston (22), and Utah (24). Utah re-entering the rankings […]
October ball has officially come to an end for most everyone now and that means there’s less than a month left before the FCS Playoff Committee comes together to decide who plays on and who doesn’t. Week 9 around the subdivision had some surprises and some very expected results. With just four weeks of regular […]
After making program history last week with a No. 2 national ranking in both national polls, IU football remained No. 2 nationally in this week’s polls. The Hoosiers beat UCLA 56-6 on Saturday afternoon at Memorial Stadium. The Hoosiers received ...

For the second time this season, Arizona football enters a road game coming off a bye week. The opponent this time around should be more manageable. Arizona has opened as a 5.5-point favorite for its road contest at Colorado Saturday, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. Kickoff time for the game is set for 4 p.m. MST, […]
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 […]
Well since LSU’s football season is over for all intents and purposes, let’s focus on a team that actually has won at the highest level. The college basketball season is on the horizon, and when LSU takes the court for an official game (November 4 against Houston Baptist) they will open the 2025-26 campaign as […]
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 […]
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons (10-3-3, 4-2-2 ACC) return to action this afternoon at Spry, taking on the #1 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (13-0-1, 8-0 ACC). The Deacs are still chasing a top 6 spot in the ACC and a berth in the ACC tournament, sitting 1 point behind Duke in the final tournament spot. […]
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 […]
Let’s go back to third-and-12, with 9:18 left in the fourth quarter. Northwestern is on Nebraska’s 36-yard line, with all the momentum on its side after coming back down 21-6 to tie the game. Mac Uhlein intercepted Cornhusker quarterback Dylan Raiola on the previous drive, and the ‘Cats had a chance to take the lead […]
Going into the season, many thought the Nov. 1 matchup between Ohio State and Penn State would be a clash of top 5 titans. Instead, an unranked 3-4 Nittany Lions team heads to Columbus next Saturday. Here are five things you need to know about Saturday’s matchup against Penn State. 1. Eight-game winning streak Ohio […]
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 […]

Not long ago, the possibility of Penn State’s trip to Ohio State would be a #1 vs. #2 match-up seemed likely – perhaps inevitable. 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 […]
Betting Line: Ohio State -20.5 | O/U 44.5 Both Ohio State and Penn State got the week off prior to their matchup in Columbus this coming Saturday. The Buckeyes have won each of their first seven contests in convincing fashion, while the Nittany Lions, who were once national championship hopefuls, sit at 3-4 with four-straight […]
Much of the blame (that’s not already attributed to the coaches) for UNC’s poor start to the season has been laid to rest at feet of the offense. And rightfully so; UNC’s offense ranked 132nd out of 136 FBS Division 1 schools in yards per game coming into the matchup against Virginia. They only fare […]
You know the scene. A coach stands there in the sideline, the game is already well in hand. Unfortunately, it’s not this guy’s hand. He’s losing this one, and there’s nothing he can do about it. “Phil Fulmer’s special elastic buffet pants!” you exclaim, “what must that poor guy be thinking?“ As usual, I have […]
Ten Fourteen Eighteen B1G Things The Rundown Holy Fuck Purdue! Knights 27, Boilers 24 With the ball and a chance to either win or play for overtime, Purdue chose to instead fumble in its own territory, letting Rutgers kick a field goal for the win. BoilerUp89: Purdue and finding new and exciting ways to lose […]
Happy Sunday Husky fans. The Huskies got a big win yesterday over a solid Illinois team and in attendance were several official visitors the Huskies are trying to nab heading into the December early signing period. Here are a look at some of the official visitors as well as some big names in the 2027 […]
The Notre Dame hockey season is well underway with new head coach Brock Sheahan, and are now sporting a 3-2-1 record to start the year. Robert Morris was the second of a pair of two game home series with out of conference foes… and the Irish just missed the sweep. From the ND press release:
Give South Carolina credit. I had wondered coming into the game how much juice they’d have left, having lost two straight and four overall. There isn’t much left for them to play for other than pride, but they showed some last night and had Alabama squarely on the ropes. It was their Homecoming game so […]
