Is Big Ten Out Of College Football Playoff After Disastrous Saturday?
The first edition of the College Football Playoff rankings were released on Tuesday – and apparently the sport went into an absolute frenzy on Saturday because of it.

Baker Mayfield new Heisman front-runner — and it’s not even close
There’s no other way to put it: The 2017 college football season has provided us one of the most bizarre Heisman races ever. While most seasons there are two or three guys that establish themselves early or at the midway point and pull away late, 2017 is the exact opposite. If anything, it feels like […] → Read More
5 players to watch in Week 10 of college football
As hard as it is to believe, we’re now in the first week of November, and to no one’s surprise, the college football season is heating up in every way imaginable.

Where the Heisman race stands right now
We’ve been waiting for it all season and last Saturday, it finally happened: We got a shakeup in the Heisman race. What once felt like a three-man sprint to the finish (Saquon Barkley, Baker Mayfield and Bryce Love) was broken wide open, with Love sitting out, Barkley struggling against Ohio State, and J.T.

Making Picks On Biggest Week 10 College Football Games
The first College Football Playoff rankings were released this week, and with them came the usual chorus of boos and complaints.

Here is what the haters, the people who don’t get college football, […] → Read More
5 Takeaways From 1st College Football Playoff Rankings
It’s Halloween night, and while the sports world is focused on Game 6 of the World Series and your children are focused on eating themselves into a sugar coma, the focus of the college football world is somewhere else altogether: The release of the first College Football Playoff rankings of the 2017 season. It happened […] → Read More
5 Candidates For Florida Job With Jim McElwain Fired
On Sunday morning, we saw the first big domino of college football’s coaching carousel fall. In a move no one could’ve seen coming just 48 hours ago, Jim McElwain was fired as Florida Gators head coach, effective immediately. In a world where Butch Jones, Bret Bielema and a handful of others were seen as fighting […] → Read More
5 takeaways from a wild Week 9 in college football
The calendar is about to turn to November and if you needed any proof, all you had to do was flip on your TV Saturday.

Wild Week 9 shakes up Heisman Trophy race
We’ve been waiting for it all season and on Saturday, it finally happened: We got a shakeup in the Heisman race. What once felt like a three-man sprint to the finish (Saquon Barkley, Baker Mayfield and Bryce Love) is now wide open, with five guys (if not more) that could legitimately make a push between […] → Read More
What the AP Top-25 should look like after Week 9
Like we always do early Sunday morning, it’s time to give you our Top 25 – or as we like to call it, a ranking of “What the AP Top-25 poll should look like.” Before you dive into these rankings, please understand one thing: We only rank teams based on what they have done on […] → Read More
5 Biggest Games Of Week 9 In College Football
The college football picks have been red-hot the last two weeks, going 4-1 straight up last week (the only “miss” was picking Texas to beat Oklahoma State up; they lost overtime) and also went 4-1 the week before that as well. And while we’d never condone gambling, it’s worth noting that the picks have gone […] → Read More

A Mixed Bag For Heisman Favorites In Week 9 Matchups
We’re now in late October, more than halfway through the college football season, and yet it doesn’t feel like we’re any closer to figuring out the legitimate College Football Playoff contenders (other than Alabama) than we were weeks ago. It’s the same with the Heisman Trophy, where there is a jumbled top three and a […] → Read More
Why doesn’t Bret Bielema get more flack at Arkansas?
Last Saturday was another sad day for a once-proud power in the SEC. This team went into a conference game as a heavy underdog, and somehow lost worse than even the bettors in Vegas could have imagined. One where the offense was once again feeble and where the defense handed out big plays like they […] → Read More
5 teams AP Poll voters got totally wrong
College football is a funny game. With no matchups of Top 25 teams last week we expected a quiet Saturday – and instead, saw four Top-10 teams fall. This week we had a couple matchups of Top -0 teams and both turned into duds. Just when you think you have this sport figured out, you […] → Read More

Ranking The 20 teams That Can Make The College Football Playoff
We’ve reached the midway point of the college football season, and I must ask: Doesn’t it feel like there are more playoff contenders at the midway point than usual?
