They will vote each week to compile Stadium’s Ultimate Player of the Year Race, a weekly look at the top players in the country. Here is the voting panel: Jeff Goodman, Stadium Clark Kellogg, CBS Sports […]
Since Ohio State hired Urban Meyer in 2012, the ACC has almost as many wins against the Buckeyes (three) as the rest of the teams in the Big Ten (five). That’s how dominant Ohio State has been in one of college football’s premier conferences. Meyer’s retirement after the season could potentially create a window of […]
The latest AP Top 25 poll was released Monday and Gonzaga’s hold on the No. 1 ranking has strengthened, a new team entered the top five and a school from the Southern Conference joined the rankings. Here are our reactions to the latest college basketball AP Top 25 poll. Michigan climbs into the top […]
Only three schools have been ranked in every edition of the College Football Playoff rankings — Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State. That trio, plus Oklahoma, has combined for 14 of the 20 playoff berths since the College Football Playoff replaced the BCS beginning in 2014. Here’s the list of schools that have been ranked the […]
The college football regular season is almost over, which means it’s the perfect time to review the past year from a betting perspective. Here are the seven Power Five teams that underachieved the most and cost bettors a lot of money in 2018… Louisville There wasn’t a more disappointing team in college football than Louisville […]
Could Alabama’s dominance actually hurt quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s Heisman chances? At least this week, yes. While Alabama is a 24-point favorite against rival Auburn in the Iron Bowl Saturday, Tagovailoa’s four biggest contenders all have more intriguing and compelling matchups that could bolster their standing with Heisman voters. Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray and West Virginia’s Will […]
The college basketball AP Top 25 poll for Week 3 was released Monday, and while there were no changes in the order of the top seven teams, the schools that played for last season’s national championship were responsible for the biggest changes in the poll. The bottom fell out for one, while the other made […]
Through Sunday night, the Big Ten is 45-6 this season with 12 of its 14 teams ranked in the top 50 on kenpom.com and eight teams among the top 35 vote-getters in last week’s AP Top 25 poll. That poll was released before the start of the Gavitt Tipoff Games, which saw the Big Ten […]
Because there were no huge upsets last week, my Heisman ballot remains unchanged from a week ago. Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa – bad knee and all – is the still the overwhelming favorite to win the Heisman Trophy. Some Heisman voters have asked a valid question about Tagovailoa’s status as the consensus No. 1 choice: How […]
This year marks the fourth iteration of the Gavitt Tipoff Games between the Big East and Big Ten, which will be headlined by a national championship game rematch between No. 8 Villanova and No. 18 Michigan. The two conferences have split the eight matchups in every year of the Gavitt Tipoff Games with the Big […]
Stop the presses! Wait. Are there even any presses anymore? I guess I’m showing my age with that newspaper reference and on Saturday, Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa showed he’s human by – stop the presses! – throwing his first interception of the season. Tagovailoa’s streak of 194 consecutive passing attempts without an interception ended Saturday night […]
The suspense is killing me: is this the week we actually – dare I say it? – see Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa play in the fourth quarter? It hasn’t happened yet, but with the Crimson Tide visiting LSU Saturday night, it should be the toughest test for Tagovailoa – and Bama – this season. Tagovailoa had […]
PLAYER OF THE YEAR R.J. Barrett, Duke – He possesses nearly the entire package: The size, the ability to run a team, get to the basket and finish, and should also provide leadership. He’s as mature of a freshman as I’ve seen in a while. DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR Herb Jones, Alabama – […]
Another week, another Alabama blowout and another fourth quarter with Tua on the sideline. This week, Tua Tagovailoa won’t play in the fourth quarter either. OK, so the Crimson Tide is off Saturday. But Tagovailoa’s right knee strain can use the rest. While Tagovailoa gets a week off, I don’t have that luxury. Here’s my […]
At this point, I’m surprised Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s right knee doesn’t already have its own Twitter account, giving college football fans daily (hourly?) updates on the status of his knee. Officially, Tagovailoa’s knee is fine. Last week, he aggravated a knee sprain in the third quarter against Missouri. Alabama coach Nick Saban said on […]
