I’m getting more and more nuanced and elaborate with the tiers: At this point in the season, I felt it necessary to leave the top tier empty. Nobody is worthy of being up there. Many years there isn’t a team worthy of being put up in that Death Star tier. I’m talking a team like… Read More NFL WEEK 14 TIER LIST | EACH TEAM DESCRIBED IN ONE SENTENCE
Everyone knows not to take the preseason rankings too seriously, yet it’s hard not to fall into the mindset of treating the preseason rankings as if they’re “correct” or at least warranted. That number next to the teams can really fool you, because early on, there’s not a whole lot for us to grab on… Read More How Wrong Were the College Football Preseason Rankings?
We’ve got #1 seed Georgia hosting squaring off with #4 seed Ohio State in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta. The Buckeyes only got in because USC got boatraced on Friday night in the Pac 12 Championship by Utah. Then we’ve got #2 Michigan taking on #3 TCU in the Fiesta Bowl down in the desert.… Read More The 2022 College Football Playoff is Set: Who Will Win The National Championship?

I was bullish on Ohio State’s chances against Michigan until I saw how all over Big Noon Kickoff and College Gameday, they were non-stop with the “Michigan hasn’t won in Columbus since 2000, is this the year they finally get it done???” talk. I don’t believe in jinxes but I do believe in foreshadowing, and… Read More Where Does Ohio State Go From Here?
Thanks to Michigan and Ohio State both escaping this past weekend, we now get to witness the biggest rivalry in college sports with both teams at 11-0.

They seemed to get their run defense figured out in… Read More NFL Week 11 Tiers, Hot Takes and Takeaways: the Jets Offense is TRASH
Notable action from week 11 Bama is winning games on pure talent alone. Nick Saban, Bill O’Brien and Pete Golding are not outcoaching anyone. Looking just at power five opponents, and excluding Vanderbilt, who has Saban outcoached?
