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 […]
Date 10/26 || Time 7:00 || Venue Food City Center || Video ESPN2 Next up for Duke is the second and final exhibition game, this time a trip to Knoxville to play the Tennessee Volunteers, where Rick Barnes has done something pretty unusual. We’ve written before about how difficult it is for older coaches to […]
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 […]
The Illini head to Seattle this weekend for a daunting matchup against a stacked Washington Huskies squad. Both teams enter the game 5-2. To help break down Jedd Fisch’s squad, we asked Mark Schafer of our sister site the UW Dawg Pound to provide deeper insight. The Champaign Room: Illinois has found some success in […]
Welcome to The Link Farm. This is your update on all things Texas A&M (that we didn’t already talk about in another article). And if there’s something we missed, be sure to talk about it in the comments. #BTHOlsu
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 […]
LSU’s season isn’t over, but with two conference losses there is no more room for error. So of course, with their backs against the wall LSU will play host to the undefeated, #3 ranked Aggies. To get us ready for LSU’s do or die game is our pal Rob Beherns of Good Bull Hunting. 1. […]
No. 5 Penn State will finish off its six-game homestand with a pair of games against Stonehill this weekend. The Skyhawks are in their third season as a Division I program. With the Big Ten opener against Ohio State looming, this is the Nittany Lions’ last chance to iron out the wrinkles before the grind […]
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 […]
Julian Alvarez’s agent has played down talk about a potential move from Atletico Madrid to Barcelona amid speculation his client wants out of the Spanish capital. There have been more rumors flying around this week about Alvarez’s future, with claims he’s keen to leave and more talk about a move to Catalunya. Fernando Hidalgo has been […]

Atlanta Falcons: Matthew Bergeron Bergeron played all 65 snaps in the loss to San Francisco. Cleveland Browns: Andre Szmyt Szmyt had a 30 yard field goal and […]
Last week brought some clarity to the championship picture with Boise State’s 56-31 win over UNLV. This week, there are four Mountain West games with four teams on a bye. Before we break down this week’s games, let’s take a look at where things currently stand in the Mountain West. Favorites Boise State (3-0 in […]
Has anyone watched a Big 12 game this year and enjoyed it? Too bad. That shouldn’t matter. Not enough people made the same decision you did. That’s right. It’s late October and it’s time for Ratings Discourse. This should come as a surprise to no one, but the Big 12 isn’t doing great in the […]
It really feels like Alabama plays South Carolina less often than all of the rest of the SEC teams. And for whatever reason, every time they do play, it winds up being a memorable one. The 2004 disaster with Spencer Pennington and Marc Guillon combing for 55 total yards was the first Alabama game I […]
This week on Bussin with the Boys’ podcast with Josh Pate, Nebraska’s own Will Compton took some time to explain what is exactly going on with Nebraska. While I did not want to put the whole quote on there. I think you should give it a listen. Insightful stuff. Best I could do this Friday […]
Last month during Ohio State’s bye week, I put together my Big Ten power rankings. Since we are now at Ohio State’s second bye week and with just over a month of the regular season left, this is a good time to see where things stand in the Big Ten. The number after the team […]

After an eventful few weeks in Happy Valley that saw longtime head coach James Franklin fired, things got even worse for Penn State — and Syracuse was quick to capitalize. The Orange flipped three-star defensive lineman Alexander Haskell, a Philadelphia native and Class of 2026 standout from St. Joseph’s Prep. Haskell decommitted from Penn State […]
