CFB Week Seven: Indiana is What We Thought Penn State Was
Some weeks in college football just leave you staring at the wall looking for answers. It’s hard to come up with confident takeaways when it’s clear that only one thing is certain: NOTHING! The gap between the best team and 50th-best team is slimmer than ever. Somehow, none of the results and ALL the results…

CFB Week Six: Preseason Top Two Knocked Out of Playoff Race
College football never disappoints. It just doesn’t. The blog this week practically writes itself. I don’t even know where to start. I’m sitting here in October, not even six weeks after writing my season preview, and three of my four predicted semi-finalists are out. Remember this clown shit? There’s a lot of red ink on…

CFB Week Five: Oregon and Alabama Earn Big Road Wins
It’s not uncommon for widely-hyped college football slates to disappoint. On weekends with several fantastic games in theory, we usually get a couple duds. Not this weekend. College Football delivered. It was glorious, unless you’re a fan of certain teams in Athens, Tallahassee, or State College. Let’s get into it. Oregon asserts itself as a…

CFB Week Four: Indiana Cruises and Texas Tech Dominates
There are a few locales in college football that I call “Voodoo Venues.” These are stadiums where weird things always tend to happen, and they always favor the hosts. Think Pac-12 After Dark status, but permanently. Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City is one of the first Voodoo Venues to come to mind. Just think…

CFB Week Three: Say Goodbye to Clemson and Notre Dame
One of the toughest things about college football is that we spend eight months trying to predict which teams will be good and which won’t, all for those guesses to come crashing down a few weeks into the season. For Clemson and Notre Dame, two teams I had in the playoff coming into the season,…

CFB Week Two: Napier and Gundy in Real Jeopardy
As predicted, Week Two of college football did not disappoint despite the relatively lackluster slate. Four ranked teams lost, and quite a few schools categorized themselves as contenders, pretenders, or just flat-out failures. Let’s discuss the state of things after the second week of the season. Florida is not a playoff team I was happy…

CFB Week One: LSU Roars, Bama Unravels, and Texas Disappoints
Week One of the college football season has come and gone, mostly. We’ve still got Bill Belichick’s North Carolina debut against TCU tonight, but every other game has been played out. After eight-plus months without college football, it’s hard not to make knee-jerk reactions and adjust expectations we’ve spent months forming. Overreacting would be pretty…

These 12 Teams Will Make the 2025 College Football Playoff
My favorite time of year is here. College football kicks off this weekend, and as I write this, Boise State just went 24-7 down to South Florida. Safe to say I’m glad I left the Broncos out of my playoff prediction. I’m definitely guilty of procrastinating on this, but this season is really difficult to…

2024 Was a Great Start to College Football’s 12-Team Playoff Era
It’s been over a week since Ohio State cruised to the first National Championship under the new 12-team playoff model. I’ve left some time for the confetti to settle, and I have a lot of thoughts about the season and how the new format affected things, but I couldn’t get away from one main takeaway.…
