Hello everyone and welcome back! Before we start, I’d like to issue a formal apology for missing last week’s rankings. Unfortunately due to various life circumstances out of our control, we were unable to reach a quorum for Week 7’s rankings. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused, and will try to be […]
We are getting further into the season and learning more about each team. As a result, the lines are getting better and fewer games are coming in with wildly unexpected results. Of the six games picked last week, only Minnesota’s upset over Nebraska on Friday night jumped out as wildly out of line with expectations. […]
The Wisconsin Badgers hired a new general manager this offseason, promoting Deputy Athletic Director and Chief Operating Officer Marcus Sedberry after Max Stienecker left for an executive position with the USC Trojans. Sedberry was a different hire than initially expected, as Wisconsin focused on filling a role with someone with more business experience, rather than […]
It was, again, another tough week, this time 3-7, thanks to some bad luck in a few games. I got hooked by the USC-Notre Dame game, and Tennessee had what appeared to be a touchdown that would have hit the over called short of the end zone in the final seconds. But can’t stop, won’t […]
Ahead of a showdown with the 23rd ranked Illinois Fighting Illini, I talked to Pleas (pronounced Plez) Honeywood of SB Nation’s Illinois blog, The Champaign Room to get the lowdown on a very good Illinois team! MS: This is year 5 for Illini Head Coach Bret Bielema. Aside from a 5-7 season in 2023, Bielema […]
The dilemma for opposing defensive coordinators is clear the moment Ohio State lines up. Two elite receivers, one impossible choice. Jeremiah Smith continues to be the steady, dominant presence every defense must account for, while Carnell Tate’s rise into full-fledged WR1 form has made double coverage a losing game. The ripple effect can be seen […]
When you think of Rutgers football’s 2025 season so far, you will probably think of the offense, the punt block touchdowns at the beginning of the year, and the defense’s ineptitude, which seems to be getting worse by the week. You might only think about the four straight defeats in Big Ten play, culminating in […]
Welcome to week 7 of the Cyclone tracker! This is where we follow our resident weather themed duo in rookie receivers Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, both out of Iowa State (hence, the “Cyclone” twins). As always, there will be analysis, projections, commentary, and relevant updates that happen in real time. Week 7 Cyclones Tracker: […]
It’s been 15 years since ESPN’s “College GameDay” crew was in Columbia, Missouri. The show was a different show then. It was 2010. The legendary crew of host Chris Fowler and analysts Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstrait and Desmond Howard traveled to a Homecoming matchup against then-No. 3 Oklahoma. Missouri was ranked No. 18 at the […]
Who else feels like their blood pressure is up this week? Must be Hate Week. I’m sure many of you have given this week’s opponent all the attention they deserve, which is to say none (other than Steve’s preview earlier today), so we sat down with Nick Durand from Maize n Brew to find out […]
Tyon Grant-Foster’s eligibility case was set for Thursday, October 23rd, at 3:30 p.m. PT in Spokane, but the NCAA filed a motion on Wednesday, October 22nd, requesting that the case be moved from state to a federal court. The NCAA is sticking by its thought process that Grant-Foster’s eligibility expired because “he had the opportunity […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are struggling on the field, losing their last five games to drop to 2-5 on the season, with the No. 6 Oregon Ducks coming up this weekend. As the Badgers continue to disappoint on the field, fans are wondering how that could impact the team off the field, specifically with recruiting. So […]
The college football season continues to roll on all too fast. We’re already into late October with five weeks left in the regular season. Feels like I just got back from my summer vacation a couple of weeks ago but in reality I need to think about raking the leaves in my lawn in time […]
The Central Michigan Chippewas (4-3, 1-1 MAC) have one last Saturday game in front of the fans in 2025, and they’re hoping to make it a good one, celebrating Homecoming against the UMass Minutemen (0-7, 0-3 MAC). The game will pit two first-year FBS head coaches against one another, with former Army West Point offensive […]
Although common across North American sports, the idea of drafting players is a completely alien concept to many football followers. With teams having academies designed to develop their superstars, either to be used by the team or sold for profit in the future, most clubs prefer to look internally for their young prodigies rather than at university athletes. With teams like Philadelphia regularly trading away … Source
After a 23-17 double-overtime win at Auburn last Saturday night, the Missouri Tigers are officially bowl eligible. In his first six seasons, head coach Eli Drinkwitz has had a bowl eligible record every year leading the Tigers. Though at 6-1 and ranked No. 15 in the latest AP Top 25 poll — Mizzou has their […]
Belichick addressed the media Tuesday in his weekly pre-game conference. This week Belichick discussed the aftermath of the California game and the challenges presented by Virginia. Belichick also addressed a couple of lingering program questions. The most notable new information: Armand Hawkins has returned to active status. UNC Compliance has cleared the cornerbacks coach, and […]

NEVADA WOLF PACK Location: Reno, Nevada (Mackay Stadium) Date/Time: Friday, October 24th at 8:00 p.m. (Mountain Time) Television: CBSSN Streaming: CBS Sports App Radio: KBOI 670 AM/KBOI 93.1 FM (Bronco Radio Network) Head-to-Head: Boise State is 32-14 all-time against Nevada, winning the last two meetings. In 2024, the Broncos held on […]
Louisville started the fourth quarter headed for an easy win, but finished it in dramatic fashion. I clipped a handful of big plays from the quarter below. It took four quarters, but Miami finally adjusted to Chris Bell running a drag route. However, Bell not only didn’t seem bothered, but he also made one of […]
There is no longer an undefeated team in the state of Florida as Miami fell from the ranks with a 24-21 defeat at the hands of Louisville. It was an eventful week in the state as the University of Florida fired head coach Billy Napier, and Florida State gave Mike Norvell the dreaded vote of […]
While the Virginia Cavaliers (6-1, 3-0 ACC) were relishing in their latest dramatic victory last Saturday night — a 10-point fourth-quarter comeback over Washington State, capped by a game-winning safety — the North Carolina Tar Heels (2-4, 0-2 ACC) were across the country in Berkeley, California, seemingly on the verge of their first big win […]
As a life-long ride-or-die Georgia Tech fan, I had yet to buy in this season, even with a 6-0 record. However, after this win against a talented Duke team, I am 100% bought-in and excited about the state of our football program. I said last week that this game against Duke was the ultimate test […]
Coming back from a weekend where I didn’t have to watch our secondary get burned to a crisp was a breath of fresh air, and with that, a new mentality. That mentality is Heacock fixed all our problems, our defense will become a Top 5 defense by the end of the season, and I can […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Mid-Major fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. It’s that time of the year. All these season previews, conference previews, year-outlooks, etc. Well, there […]
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The 2022 Illinois Fighting Illini defense was good. Like, really really good. So good that one player from the secondary was a top-five pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. So good that two other defenders were drafted in the second and fourth round. So good that a young defensive coordinator was hired […]
