I’ve done the same thing for college football that I do with NFL teams: average out their statistical rankings in a select number of categories I’ve deemed most important and used that to rank them 1-25. Only teams in the AP top 25 are eligible for consideration here, just for simplicity’s sake because it would… Read More College Football Statistical Team Rankings: Week 7
It’s hard to believe we’re already halfway through the 2021 college football season, but here we are. College football schedules are typically back-loaded, though, meaning the biggest and best games of the season are saved for the end. While we have already seen some heavyweight non-conference bouts, like Georgia-Clemson and Oregon-Ohio State, most of the… Read More College Football Mid-Season Report: The Stats That Will Decide “Who’s In”
We are now entering year 8 of the College Football playoff era. Starting 2014, college football adopted a 4-team playoff format, discarding the old BCS formula that simply pitted #1 vs. #2 in the National Championship Game. Although I’ve written at length about why I think the CFP has, seemingly paradoxically, decreased parity in college… Read More The 5 Greatest Playoff Games of the CFP Era
Man, college football is awesome this year. My only complaint thus far was that for as much chaos as there has been in the rankings, Bama and Georgia were solidly at the top of the rankings and clearly way ahead of everyone else. Because of how many upsets we’ve seen, people were comparing this season… Read More College Football Week 6 Reactions: BAMA GOES DOWN; Iowa Beats Penn State in Comeback Fashion
10. Monday Night Football Theme Song: Mondays suck. But for 18 Mondays a year, they suck a little less because we get Monday Night Football.

That’s a win for the boys.… Read More Top 10 TV Sports Network Theme Songs
So four top-10 teams went down this weekend. This has been a really fun college football season, but the problem is the two teams at the top just look completely untouchable. It now looks as if Bama and Georgia have just left the rest of the SEC behind. I know we always say the SEC… Read More College Football Week 5 Reactions: Georgia is DOMINANT, Lots of Ranked Teams Lose
Today, Joel Klatt and Colin Cowherd were discussing Notre Dame’s recent win over Wisconsin. They’re both in agreement that Brian Kelly is one of the best coaches in the sport, but that he’s judged unfairly because his program is compared to Alabama, and when you compare anybody to Alabama, not just Notre Dame, they fall… Read More Is Notre Dame An Elite Program?
With four weeks in the books, the biggest storyline in college football now is that Clemson’s National Title hopes are officially dashed. After the week 1 loss to Georgia, Clemson was definitely still alive in the national title hunt. That’s a “good loss,” considering A. the game was really close, and B. Georgia is an… Read More College Football Week 4 Recap: Clemson Goes Down
After a fairly wild Saturday in a season that has already seen the most-ever losses by top-25 teams lose through the first two weeks, college football’s National Title hunt feels like it’s basically up for grabs. #1 Alabama jumped out to a 21-3 lead in the first quarter, but had to hang on for dear… Read More College Football Is Wide Open
Via Yahoo’s Pete Thamel: So the Big 12 is desperately trying to stay alive, I guess. I understand it from the perspective of all the people that work for the Big 12 conference, like Commissioner Bob Bowlsby, etc. They all want to keep their jobs, and if the conference folds, they’ll be out of work.… Read More Report: Big 12 to Add UCF, Cincinnati, Houston and BYU to Conference this Friday
