I wrote in yesterday’s ACC-centric breakdown about how the schedule is one of the most important factors when looking at over/under win totals. That’s especially true in the SEC with permanent cross-division rivals. A team like Tennessee is at a disadvantage because they play Alabama every year. Georgia-Auburn and Florida-LSU are also annual matchups, which automatically […]
The last regular season college basketball games will tip off one month from Sunday, including a rematch of Houston-Cincinnati, which was the biggest game of the day. The Cougars protected their home court Sunday to become the third team this season to reach the 23-win mark, joining Gonzaga and Nevada. Saturday was a significant day […]
New Ohio State Head Coach Ryan Day assembled the No. 15 recruiting class in the country for 2019, which is by far the highest-rated class of the 26 FBS schools that hired a new coach this offseason, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings as of 5 p.m. ET on National Signing Day. The Buckeyes are […]
Five ranked teams play Wednesday night, including four that play true road games against unranked opponents. Tuesday night’s slate of games saw top-15 teams Michigan State and Kansas both lose in similar scenarios so there could be more upsets tonight. Wednesday’s games include bubble teams Alabama, Nebraska, Creighton and Temple, as well as strong mid-major […]
The top uncommitted defensive tackle in the 2019 recruiting class made his college decision on National Signing Day, signing his national letter of intent to Alabama. Four-star defensive tackle Ishmael Sopsher, a 6-4, 334-pound native of Amite, Louisiana was down to three SEC West schools – Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M – and Oregon. The […]
Once again, Alabama is the overwhelming favorite to win the SEC. However, for the first time in four years, Alabama is not the favorite to win the national title. That changed the night of Jan. 7 in Santa Clara, Calif. Following Alabama’s loss to Clemson in the College Football Playoff title game, Alabama was no […]
Non-conference play will resume, even if only for a day, on Saturday as the 2019 Big 12/SEC Challenge will pit 10 teams from each conference against each other in on-campus venues. While Kansas-Kentucky is the headlining matchup, it’s not the only game between top-25 teams. Here’s a preview of each Big 12/SEC Challenge matchup. Alabama […]
The early 2019 Heisman Trophy odds have been released by Bovada and we’ve already analyzed the odds of the frontrunners for next season’s award. Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence and Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa are the two favorites entering next season, which shouldn’t be a surprise given that Lawrence led the Tigers to a national championship […]
There are no more undefeated teams in Division I men’s college basketball. They’re all gone. Top-ranked Duke and unranked Wisconsin handed No. 4 Virginia and No. 2 Michigan their first losses of the season, respectively, in a pair of challenging road tests for the country’s last unbeaten teams. Two other top-10 teams fell in the […]
MOST DISAPPOINTING TEAMS 1) UCLA (10-7, 3-1 PAC-12) – It was so bad that the Bruins made a move mid-season with Steve Alford. That’s really all you need to know. What’s Wrong? – “Charmin soft. All you have to do is punch them, and they won’t punch back. The (Jaylen) Hands kid is much better […]
It’s January 10 and the first Heisman Trophy odds for 2019 have already been released by Bovada. While I highly recommend avoiding betting this early on something that will be decided in 11 months, seeing real odds can give college football fans an idea of some of next year’s top contenders. Here are the nine […]
Clemson won the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship, its second national title in three years, but the ACC only had one other team ranked in the final AP Top 25 Poll, so the conference offers an interesting profile for how it stacked up with the rest of the conferences nationally last season. The Big […]
Clemson is the 2018 College Football Playoff national champion for the second time in the last three years and the Tigers are our No. 1 team as we looked ahead to next fall. As we enter the first day of the offseason, here’s our way-too-early preseason top 25 for the 2019 college football season, which […]
Alabama has been synonymous with college football in the last decade and the Crimson Tide’s five national championships since 2009 puts it on the short list of the most dominant dynasties in recent memory across all sports. But on Monday night, No. 2 Clemson handed No. 1 Alabama the school’s most lopsided loss, 44-16, since […]
The 2018 college football season ended how many believed it would when it started in August and that’s with Clemson and Alabama sharing the field in the national championship game. The top two teams in the preseason AP Top 25 poll – No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Clemson – earned the same seeds, respectively, […]
