Hey TOC Nation! We are at that time of year when we have multiple sports seasons going on at once. So rather than have separate individual “How To Watch” articles for each game, we will combine it into one massive “Week Ahead” column. I started this last season and people seemed to like it. So […]
The Colorado Buffaloes posted their pregame injury report late on Thursday night ahead of their trip to Salt Lake City to battle the Utah Utes, and fans now have a lot to be excited about. The Buffs, who have been arguably the most injured team in the Big 12, look to be finally getting some […]
(#8)Ole Miss at (#13)Oklahoma Noon, ABC Two one-loss teams fighting for survival in a crowded SEC field. Both teams are coming off disappointing losses – who is ready to bounce back? John Mateer hasn’t quite been himself since returning from injury, and a win against Ole Miss could set up the Sooners for an exciting […]
Given the history of the NC State football program, Dave Doeren should be commended for his efforts in stabilizing the program. While he didn’t bring home conference titles like Earle Edwards, Lou Holtz, or Bo Rein, and failed to reach the double-digit win threshold of Chuck Amato, Doeren has supplied stability to the program that […]
Alright folks, time for Yours Truly’s first-ever set of mailbag answers! Big thanks to everyone who posted in the comments thread of our post earlier this week, as this segment wouldn’t be possible without you. Fudd, Elmer J asks: 1) What is the likelihood that PSUs next head coach will be named before the season […]
As there are a few current Miami Hurricanes that have been featured atop the 2026 NFL mock drafts (as well as 2027, and 2028 with possible WR1 Malachi Toney), a number of ProCanes continue to shine at the next level. The Canes have routinely produced some of the top NFL talent where that is no different […]
It will be a Noon kickoff tomorrow in Atlanta as the Syracuse Orange (3-4, 1-3) take on the #7 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (7-0, 4-0). Georgia Tech is a 16.5 point favorite according to FanDuel. The game will be broadcast on ESPN and here’s what we predict will happen: Kevin (5-2): Georgia Tech 33, Syracuse […]
Well, here we are. Up until now, I took this article about as serious as I did high school Spanish. No more. Thanks to Miami blowing the game to Louisville last Friday night, I now to have to pay attention to conference standings, root for certain teams, blah blah blah. Super lame. At least I […]
Wow, it’s crazy that we had another bye week so soon. I mean there was definitely not a game last week, so another bye week must be what that was. These Huskers are going to be refreshed and motivated when the Wildcats come to Memorial Stadium on Saturday. #1 PROTECTING THE QUARTERBACK It’s pretty hard […]
The oldest rivalry in the south will add another matchup to its history this Saturday as the Virginia Cavaliers (6-1, 3-0 ACC) head down Route 29 South to take on the North Carolina Tar Heels (2-4, 0-2 ACC). When the ball kicks off at noon, it will mark the start of the 130th matchup between […]
The Wisconsin Badgers take on the No. 6 Oregon Ducks this Saturday night in Eugene. Last season, the Badgers fought tooth and nail with the Ducks at Camp Randall Stadium. Despite holding a 10-6 halftime lead over the No. 1-ranked Ducks, the Badgers fell 16-13 on a field goal by Atticus Sappington, and a late […]
I think we remember eras by players. Unless a coach is at a spot for a long period of time, you tend to associate them with the players who embodied their achievements and/or failures. Who doesn’t tie Ed Orgeron and Joe Burrow at the hip? Even despite everything that came after. I think that, when […]
Saturday’s game against the Scarlet Knights might be the last chance this Purdue team has to win a football game this season. That’s not a good feeling, but maybe it helps the team focus on the matchup as they find a way to win? I asked the staff for their predictions for this weekend’s contest. […]
The Hawkeyes fought for the full four quarters a week ago and emerged victorious over Penn State to move to 5-2 on the year and 3-1 in Big Ten play. While they won the game outright, they notably did not cover while hitting the over. This week, Iowa opened as a pretty big favorite against […]
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are slowly, but surely, moving up the rankings as they work toward a college football playoff berth. The boys are off this week and are at home eating cheeseburgers, but there’s an entire college football world that plays this weekend. It’s playoff football every week for the Irish moving forward, […]
It feels like more than a formality that the Ohio State Buckeyes are going to be in the College Football Playoff this December. If the Playoff still only had four teams, I would feel just as confident in saying that this Buckeye team would be one of four teams playing for a national championship. It’s […]
I kinda like that Vanderbilt is good at football. I don’t really like it when Mizzou has to play them. But the story is otherwise very cool. From the overlooked quarterback who now headlines nearly every college football story, to the revival of Jerry Kill, to the fact that Vanderbilt is bowl eligible after 7 […]
Sitting in sole possession of last place in the Mountain West, Nevada will host one of its longtime rivals for possibly the last time in a bit. Boise State will be heading to a new conference next year, and they’ll be plenty of festivities before this game. Boise State (5-2, 3-0) @ Nevada (1-6, 0-3) […]
Kansas finally returns to the friendly confines of Memorial Stadium, as it is once again the Jayhawks’ turn to host the annual Sunflower Showdown. Kansas is still 65-52-5 all-time vs K-State, but the only number I care about right now is 17; the Purple Cats have won 16 in a row in this series. I […]
Date 10/26 || Time 7:00 || Venue Food City Center || Video ESPN2 Next up for Duke is the second and final exhibition game, this time a trip to Knoxville to play the Tennessee Volunteers, where Rick Barnes has done something pretty unusual. We’ve written before about how difficult it is for older coaches to […]
This week’s highlights include a pair of big rivalry games as Minnesota goes to Iowa for the Floyd of Rosedale and Michigan State hosts Michigan. I supposed Purdue-Rutgers could also be considered a rivalry game, as both teams are definitely rivals this year with “winning Big Ten games”. I am also curious to see if […]
Chaos still rules the ACC, where a Friday upset in Miami, a grinder in Durham, and a few wild finishes only tightened the race for Charlotte instead of clarifying it. The top tier now has company, the middle is a mosh pit, and the next few weeks will determine whose play holds up—and whose luck […]
To steal from the once popular Kim Possible: “HERE’S THE SITCH” The Fighting Illini football team sits at a 5-2 record with five games left. It starts this weekend in Seattle vs. the Washington Huskies. The Huskies are 5-2 as well, and even though Illinois is back in the rankings at No. 23, they are […]
The Illini head to Seattle this weekend for a daunting matchup against a stacked Washington Huskies squad. Both teams enter the game 5-2. To help break down Jedd Fisch’s squad, we asked Mark Schafer of our sister site the UW Dawg Pound to provide deeper insight. The Champaign Room: Illinois has found some success in […]
Welcome to The Link Farm. This is your update on all things Texas A&M (that we didn’t already talk about in another article). And if there’s something we missed, be sure to talk about it in the comments. #BTHOlsu
