Mizzou’s… Read More College Football Week 5: An Absolutely Agonizing Saturday
We are now a third of the way through the season already. I’ve altered the formula just a bit by adding Net Tackles for Loss.

It’s a common gripe I’ve seen on College Football Twitter about the 12-team playoff. “They’re going to ruin the best regular season in sports!” “The regular season is going to be pointless now!” I’ve already gone over why I think the 12-team playoff makes the regular season more compelling than ever, but I want to… Read More Will the 12-Team College Football Playoff Really Ruin “The Greatest Regular Season in Sports”?
It’s official: So the current contract expires in 2026, which is the latest the new expanded playoff would go into effect.
