On Thanksgiving weekend, the miserable Boston College football season is finally coming to an end when the Eagles travel to upstate New York to face off against the Syracuse Orange. Despite how poorly the team has played in 2025, BC has a real shot at actually winning this game and securing their only FBS win […]
In what is effectively the final full weekend of college football, let’s get right into “Rivalry Weekend” with a small slate of Friday games. Perfect for consuming with leftover repast food and drink. Although conference championships have yet to be decided, the will be the final opportunity for some teams to make a major move […]
It really does. Normally on the drive down to Lincoln, I take in a podcast or two whether it be some news of the world or Joel Klatt/Greg McElroy’s thoughts on the college football national scene. This morning, I gave up and put music on as it was impossible to think about anything but this […]
Not surprisingly, the Boozer family showed up on Thanksgiving in the United Center to watch Cameron and Cayden compete against Arkansas. You may remember that Carlos played for the Bulls, but it probably didn’t occur to most of you (like it didn’t to us), that Cameron and Cayden had spent time in the United Center […]
Can Clemson Continue its Columbia Dominance? That feeling has returned. What feeling you ask? It is the one where you carry all kinds of nervous trepidation into the game some refer to as The Palmetto Bowl. It might be a little unfamiliar to the younger generation, especially those who cut their teeth during Clemson’s dominant […]
I am so hungover today. It’s unbelievable. It’s not what you’re thinking. It’s a pie hangover. So much pie. There’s pumpkin pie and then there’s my absolute favorite pecan pie. I still have a lot of pie left. And I would love to have it taste so much better by beating Iowa today. If we […]
When Ohio State and Michigan meet, the buildup is usually about the stars. The five-star receivers, the NFL-bound quarterbacks, the dominant defensive linemen. But every edition of The Game also produces someone unexpected who helps swing the momentum. This year, with the uncertainty surrounding Ohio State’s top receivers heading into the weekend, I think tight […]

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have slowly climbed back up the rankings, and are now ranked #9 in the country in the college football playoff rankings after an absolute BANGER against Syracuse. Next up for the Irish is the Stanford Cardinal for the Legends Trophy, top nerdom, and a berth in the college football playoff. […]
I arrived in Lincoln a few moments ago and it is just November college football as hell down here. And today, of course, we are visited once again by the monosyllabic, slack-jawed denizens of Iowa City, Iowa, and other parts of that state. If they were insufferable before, winning 9 of the last 10 in […]

For the final time this season, the Hawkeyes are set to take the field in a regular season matchup as they head to Lincoln to face off with the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the annual Heroes game! Both teams enter the day at 7-4 overall, but bowl pecking order is on the line, as well as […]
The Valley Trophy is on the line on Saturday night when the Fresno State Bulldogs travel to meet the San Jose State Spartans in the regular season finale for both teams. Kickoff is at 7:30 pm PT and will be on the television on Fox Sports 1 (FS1). Can’t be in front of a TV […]
A key reason why the 49ers were willing to commit to Brock Purdy as their long-term answer at the quarterback position was the transformative impact his playing style has had on their offense. Purdy’s willingness to be aggressive and attack downfield is atypical for 49ers quarterbacks under Kyle Shanahan. He found great success in going […]
Alrighty folks, we’ve finally made it to the regular season finale of the college football season for our Notre Dame Fighting Irish. With a 9-2 record, a #9 ranking in the College Football Playoff rankings, and plenty of fun discussions happening on who deserves the at-large spots this year, it’s imperative that Marcus Freeman and […]
So here’s the deal. We are on the outside looking in, but we are looking in through a wide open window. I am going to walk us through the playoff picture, team-by-team, scenario-by-scenario, to see what Vanderbilt’s real chances at making it in are, and where would land in the postseason landscape, whether we make […]
It’s Victory Friday (yes, that’s a thing!) which means it’s time to take another leisurely stroll through the comments of football fans across the SB Nation network as they watched the Cowboys outlast the Chiefs. All the quotes below are taken directly from the open game threads from the SB Nation team sites as indicated […]
It’s nearly here. Just about 24 hours until The Game, Ohio State is poised and ready for the fight, but until then there’s still some recruiting efforts worth mentioning. Some positive vibes continuing on Thursday, the Buckeyes are still seeing their name in the running for top players. Here’s some of the latest on where […]
Happy Game Day! Before we dive into BN Bears Bullets, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to those who read BN, listen and/or watch the podcast, interact with us on social media, and support us in all sorts of other ways. I have much to be thankful for these days. Among those things I’m thankful for is your support. Thanks for being here. It hasn’t always been sunshine and rainbows when it comes to this team. So I hope that sticking around for the tough times is making this 8-3 s...
It’s hard to believe, but we’re down to just one week remaining in the college football regular season, Syracuse Orange football fans. Things couldn’t end quicker for SU, who posted a mind-boggling 70-7 loss to No. 9 Notre Dame last Saturday. Now at 3-8, an ugly matchup awaits in the season finale against Boston College (1-10) this weekend in the […]
Mike: After last Saturday night in Unhappy Valley, I have this feeling that Black Friday is approaching “must-win” status for Matt Rhule’s team. Getting to eight wins and not losing to Iowa is progress. Jon: It’s very clear that there’s progress. We are going to a bowl again this year and we don’t have to […]
It’s hard to believe that there have been 30 games between Louisville and Kentucky since the rivalry was revived in 1994. Take a big gulp out of your commemorative “Big Game” cup from McDonald’s and enjoy the definitive ranking of all 30 modern contests between the Cards and the Cats. No. 30 2018 — Kentucky […]
The LSU Tigers face a tough Oklahoma side in the final game of the season on Saturday. Can LSU get a win and close out the season with a W? From third down efficacy, player props, team defense/offense numbers, team totals and more, we will have a little bit of everything as we roll on […]
Good Friday morning, Dawg Fans. I hope you all had an incredible Thanksgiving. The last week of the regular season is here (pretty sad about it), and all week I’ve been building up some good old-fashioned hate with our 4th-ranked Dawgs set to take on the 23rd-ranked Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in a matchup that […]
Penn State heads to Piscataway on Saturday looking to even its mark at 6-6 and reach bowl eligibility. Meanwhile, Rutgers has the same mark and the same goal. So how has the year gone for the Scarlet Knights? We checked in with Andrew Rice, managing editor of On the Banks, our sister SB Nation Rutgers […]
