While Syracuse fans are dealing with another season hampered by injury to the starting quarterback, another ACC school was in unchartered territory over the weekend.

In another typical non-Saturday game, Nebraska seemed to be off on its clock. I understand the “tradition” of the Day after Thanksgiving game against Iowa, but can we stop playing on Thursday’s and Friday’s? Nebraska is 5-7 on non-Saturday games since 2020. Yes, I’m including all games against Iowa, as they are not on a […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are heading to Milwaukee this Friday, where they’ll take on a new opponent for the first time in seven months when they face the Oklahoma Sooners at Fiserv Forum for an exhibition.

Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith has been called the best player in college football over and over again, and there’s no doubt he is. But we also know the Heisman committee favors the guys throwing the ball, and at this point in the season, arguably no one is doing that better than Julian Sayin. […]
Rickie Collins has learned a lot from his first three starts as a college quarterback. What was the biggest takeaway? “It’s hard to win,” said Collins. And while the goal for Syracuse will always be to win games, the mindset has changed as well. Syracuse head coach Fran Brown said after the Orange’s 30-13 loss […]

The story has been the same for the Wisconsin Badgers in 2025, as quarterback injuries and inconsistencies have been the headline of an ugly 2-5 season so far. Wisconsin lost starting quarterback Billy Edwards in the season opener to a non-contact knee sprain, which was expected to sideline him for a few weeks. Then, after […]
Boston College fell to a new low this past Saturday, once again collapsing in the second half to lose by two scores to regional rival UConn.

Missouri and Vanderbilt will meet as Top 15 ranked opponents for an opportunity to crash the Playoff and become one of the wildest stories in the 2025 college football zeitgeist. Mizzou has been in this spotlight before but, even though Vanderbilt hasn’t, don’t rely on that aspect for anything. Clark Lea and Diego Pavia have […]
Week 7 was a quiet week as several of the Gophers did not make a real impact. Tyler Johnson had his best game of the season for the Jets, and Blake Cashman returned from injury for the Vikings. This week will feature lots of byes, so it will be a more limited week. Hopefully the […]
The world of money in college sports has changed quite a bit recently. Over the summer a settlement was made which allowed universities to directly pay athletes, so I wanted to go over the details to see what exactly the Mountain West has, how it compares, and what the impact might be this year. First […]

Ohio State’s recruiting pitch in 2025 is multi-faceted with the promise of NFL preparation, a national brand that guarantees eyeballs, and a pragmatic, increasingly institutionalized, approach to name, image and likeness (NIL). That combination is no accident. It’s a deliberate playbook engineered by Ryan Day’s staff and the athletic department to answer the modern recruit’s […]
Wake Forest is back from the bye week, and they are kicking off the 2nd half of the season with their first ever matchup against conference newcomer SMU. The Deacs have a chance to do something in this game that has not happened in a long, long time: hand SMU a regular season conference loss. […]
There are now only three ACC teams without a conference loss: Georgia Tech, Virginia, and SMU. To make matters worse for the Canes, those three teams do not face each other this season, with Miami only playing SMU. Yikes. If they want any chance of making it to Charlotte, Coach Cristobal’s squad better take care […]
