The Daily Mauling: 10/14/25
Kansas Jayhawks News The throwing of tortillas at Saturday’s game has reached “controversy” levels How big will Bryson Tiller’s role be this year? CBS Sports calls Kansas “underrated” in the AP preseason pool Links! Multiple consecutive days of rain have now ended in Arizona, leaving behind the toll of flooding A starting linebacker at Houston […]
Clemson Routs Boston College: By The Numbers
Clemson outgained Boston College 504–221, averaged 6.6 yards per play, and held the ball for 37:21, their most lopsided statistical performance of 2025. The Tigers dominated every measurable category — rushing (+141), passing (+142), third downs (+25%), sacks (+4), and red-zone TD efficiency (+30%). Granted it was against one of the worst teams in the […]
Survey Time: Jonathan Smith Hot Seat
We are 6 games through Coach Jonathan Smith’s 2nd season at Michigan State, and so far this season is following the script of year 1: win the first three games, lose the next 3. And we certainly remember how last season finished. Across the college football landscape, the midway point of the season has proven […]
Slate: Winning
Football Well, that was fun. In a game that lasted almost four hours (and somehow felt even longer), Kansas State beat TCU 41-28 to improve to 3-4 in a season that has fallen well short of expectation. As others at BotC have noted, this win owed a lot to the defense, and well, maybe some […]
Iowa State Football Post-Mortem: The Return to Colorado
It’s the return of a classic Big 12 Rivalry as the Cyclones head off to Boulder, CO with a fair number of fans making the trip. What could possibly go wrong…? (A lot) What Went Wrong Play-calling while not having a kicker So I mentioned this a little bit last week, but it seems like […]
TV and Broadcast Details Set for BYU at Iowa State
The Big 12 released Week 9 broadcast details, and BYU-Iowa State in Ames will kickoff at 3:30 ET on FOX. This will be the second consecutive FOX game for BYU; the Utah game this Saturday is on the same network. The Cyclones got off to a 5-0 start and were up to #14 in the […]
Kansas State Football: Someone Made a Play? Someone Made a Play!!!!!!!
You can parse the numbers, question the play calling, and look for ancillary reasons why Kansas State currently sits 3-4 despite their lofty preseason expectations, but sometimes football isn’t all that complicated. For the first time this season, the offense and defense made winning plays when the opportunities arose. I’ve never seen a team with […]
Virginia football moves to No. 18 in latest AP Poll
The Virginia Cavaliers enjoyed the chaos on Saturday afternoon and evening, watching multiple ranked teams ahead of them in the Week 7 AP Poll fall short. Eight of the top-25 teams lost last Saturday, including No. 15 Michigan, which fell to USC; No. 14 Missouri, which dropped a close one at home to No. 8 […]
The Mid-Morning Dump: James Franklin Fired from Penn State
Iowa State Athletics LOSING GRIP. On the 2025 seasons are the Cyclones. RED ZONE. Has been the glaring issue for the offense. BAD NO CALL. The Big 12 should step up and address the PI call. THICKER. At least we got to see the emergency kicker. SENSATIONAL FRESHMAN. TJ is really excited about 2 young […]
A (Semi) Statistical Recap of Texas Tech
Saturday in Lubbock went about as well as most of us (should have) expected – although the way it went down certainly was interesting. At least we didn’t end up with a running clock in this one, although there were some hard feelings after the game as it sounds like Tech fans were throwing more […]
The Weekly Mailbag Request Doesn’t Have to Talk About James Franklin Much Longer.
Happy Monday! I’m hammering this out as fast as humanly possible so I can wrap up the rest of my packing before we leave for a fall trip to **checks notes** Tennessee. Ok, first things first: The James Franklin thing is clearly the fault of all you people. I told you I didn’t want to […]
The Daily Mauling: 10/13/25
Kansas Jayhawks News EESPN’s recap of the game Saturday, for those brave souls who wish to relive it While most fans threw tortillas on Saturday, apparently one threw a pocket knife at the Kansas sideline and hit a staffer Here’s a breakdown of the Kansas o-line’s breakdown against Tech The Capital Journal takes a look […]
This is what “Lane Kiffin Mad” looks like
Following Saturday’s three-point win over Washington State, a game in which unpleasantness abounded, Lane Kiffin’s disposition was the opposite of his familiar “You Got This, Have a Great Tuesday” Instagram vibe. The source of his simmering anger was Ole Miss’ sloppy, uninspired, and way-too-close win over the Cougars. A game that should’ve never come down […]
ACC Power Rankings: Post-Week 6
Florida State loses their eighth-straight ACC game upending the progress we thought they’d made. The other top teams take care of business setting up several big matchups next week. In response to a commenter’s request, I’ve added overall record in parentheses and ACC record in double parentheses. TIER: ACC’s Bottom Feeders 17. North Carolina (2-3 […]
The 4-2-5 Report: Ole Miss avoids collapse against the Cougars
Saturday was supposed to be an easy day of taking in Ole Miss Football. So easy, that apparently many of the people who might normally attend a game, decided not to. That might be addressed in a different post, but I digress. A win is a win and 6-0 is 6-0. Kiffin got it right […]
ACC Mid-Season Coach of the Year Candidates
Podcast co-host @AllSportsDACC started talking about the ACC COY candidates on twitter. That got me thinking, it’s time to list our candidates. Amazing, we’ve reached the midpoint of the college football season already. Who’s leading the ACC COY race? Let’s take a look. 1) Mario Cristobal – Miami Miami is 5-0 and ranked in the … Continue reading »
Scions E286: 2025 Techmo Bowl Champs
Jack and Jake are back to discuss the very normal feeling 35-20 win by #12 Georgia Tech over Virginia Tech and look ahead to the Duke game on Saturday. Then a recap of Georgia Tech Volleyball’s weekend against Duke and #23 North Carolina, and a deep dive into the new Dual Meet Tournament that Georgia […]
The Good, Bad and Ugly of what damn near was
Well, dammit. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d be sitting here writing about how 33-point underdog WSU could have, and maybe kinda should have, beaten a Top 5 team on the road. But here I sit, kinda disappointed at the fact that the Cougs didn’t win that game. I’m also incredibly encouraged, […]
Penn State fires James Franklin
well, there’s your fallout losing to Northwestern: a bridge too far Congratulations to Penn State on finding enough money to feed and house and homeless of basically everyone in western Pennsylvania in order to fire a football coach. I bet whatever piece of shit y’all elected to the Senate is in full support of this […]
Sunday Morning Coming Down // Week 7
Ten Fourteen Eighteen B1G Things The Rundown Washington runs away in the second half, 38-19 Rutgers was up 13-10 at the half, and playing the kind of game Greg Schiano likes to play. Then, the second half looked like the kind of game he’s been forced to play this season, as the defense fell apart […]
MSU Football Game 6 Weather Report
Well, well, well. My entire drive home from East Lansing was thinking about how cathartic it would feel to write this week’s weather report. The utter disdain in watching this team play on Saturday had reached a level of boiling that was near volcanic. As that eruption of fury subsided, it sank me to the […]
Post Game Reactions: LSU 20, South Carolina 10
What a weird night. LSU did the only thing that mattered tonight inside Tiger Stadium: they won, beating South Carolina 20-10 to improve to 5-1 on the year and 2-1 in league play, but boy was it annoying watching it play out in real time. Saturday played out almost the exact same way as the […]
