The noon window: Okay, yes, A&M eventually lost that game 41-24. A&M is a disaster this year. But I thought given how many players they were missing, they played well. Just look at this: Alas, Texas A&M is now on pace for their first losing season since 2009. They are now 3-6 and unlikely to… Read More CFB Week 9 Reactions, Hot Takes and Observations
I will start here with my game notes, taken in real time as I was watching the game. I did this with the Alabama vs. Tennessee game and I really liked it, so I decided to do it with this game. I think I’m going to do it with all the big time games, at… Read More Ohio State vs. Penn State Game Notes: Is Ohio State’s Lackluster Run Game a Reason to Panic?

It wasn’t the greatest week of college football action. After last week, where we had the epic Tennessee-Bama game, and then Utah and USC closed us out with a thriller after midnight, this week was pretty quiet, all things considered. Syracuse almost pulled off an incredible upset over Clemson, but came up just short at… Read More College Football Week 8 Observations, Reactions and Hot Takes
Guest post by FTP SEC insiders Hunter Jefferson Davis Reagan, and Carter Lee Dawson IV, who are based out of Oxford, Mississippi. Tennessee. They beat Bama, man. Nuff said. They might be hillbillies but they sure throwed the football around. Alabama: Lost to the number one team in the country on the road by a… Read More SEC REPORT: HUNTER AND CARTER’S WEEK 8 COLLEGE FOOTBALL POWER RANKINGS
Joel Klatt brought this up recently. Starts around the 17:49 mark: The basic gist of what he’s saying here is that divisions within college football conferences are dumb and outdated and are actually hurting the sport.

Not great: However, it was a crazy week in college football overall with all the underdogs: Just upset city. But no excuses. Gotta be better this week.

Bama is committing a ludicrous amount of penalties and mental errors. It’s the first quarter and it feels like they’ve already committed like 7 penalties. Very… Read More CFB Week 7 Observations
Vegas’s take on the Michigan/Penn State game as of Wednesday: Penn State has not won a road game against a top-5 ranked team since 1994. The team they beat that year was… Michigan. (Penn State was ranked #3 that year and Michigan was #5, and Penn State won the game 31-24). I’ve kind of been… Read More Predictions for Bama vs. Tennessee AND Penn State vs. Michigan
I’m about to fire off some hot takes, here goes: Not only would Texas be 6-0 if Ewers didn’t get hurt, they would have blown out Alabama. I’m sitting here watching Alabama, Jalen Milroe just threw a pick with about a minute left in the first half, the score is 14-14. Texas would have beaten… Read More College Football Week 6 Reactions: FRAUDS Everywhere?!
