Penn State completed their gauntlet of top-two teams in both the Coaches Poll and the Associated Press ranking, and three other conference foes remain in the polls.

While the Boilermakers got on the board first in Saturday’s matchup, the Buckeyes looked spectacular on both sides of the ball as they blew past Purdue, 34-10. Even special teams delivered something to write home about, making it hard to pick just one play of the game. So this week, I’m going to pick three […]

Hell, you saw the numbers in this morning’s survey results, just 9% of Purdue fans thought that Purdue would pull off the upset and quite frankly I thought that number was ridiculously high.

Wake up, everyone. It’s Ohio State game day! Buckeye Nation is no stranger to games played in West Lafayette. Despite Ohio State entering this game as more than a four-touchdown favorite, there seems to be some bad juju whenever the Scarlet and Grey play football inside Ross-Ade Stadium, where the Buckeyes have lost five of […]

Not gonna lie, the next three games for the top-ranked Ohio State squad aren’t likely to produce a lot of drama. The stretch of Purdue, UCLA, and Rutgers is a fairly underwhelming slate, but it does give our beloved Buckeyes an opportunity to get healthy and rested, while finetuning some things that haven’t been completely […]

Last week ATS: 5-9 (4-4 National, 1-5 B1G) Season ATS: 86-86 (37-44 National, 49-42 B1G) Last week wasn’t my finest set of picks, as I went 5-9 to drop to .500 on the season. I should have known my week was going to be cooked when Georgia had a chance to score late in the […]

Even though Penn State’s season has gone off the rails compared to preseason expectations, the show must go on – and this year, there’s a lot to double take at in college football.

With some of the top teams off (Alabama, Texas A&M, Oregon) and others playing conference doormats (Penn State-Ohio State, Indiana-Maryland) as per usual, the SEC took center stage. It was much better entertainment than watching the Dodgers’ “bought” World Series win. One shlock-fest in particular caught some eyes for the car crash that it was: […]
