College Football

I have been watching Michigan downplaying the Ohio State rivalry for 12 straight days now, and yesterday the quarterback finally topped everybody. John Fanta of NBC Sports asked Bryce Underwood how different The Game is from every other one on the schedule. “It’s just another game. Just, with guys in a different color. That’s how...

Yahoo finally put college fantasy football on the site, drafts open August 3rd, and I already know exactly how your league is going to go. Everybody opens the app, takes the first eight names off the default list, feels great about themselves, and then it gets to pick 140 and the whole room goes quiet...

Vegas just told me Ohio State is losing three games this season and I’d like somebody to come sit down and explain that one to me. Nine and a half. That’s the number, and it’s the loudest of the college football win total overs sitting on my board this year. This is a team that...

I made my 2026 college football playoff bracket for this season and six of the twelve aren’t even my opinion. The format filled those in for me. One of them is the Notre Dame automatic playoff bid, a rule somebody wrote specifically so Notre Dame never has to feel left out again. Four spots go...

Greg Sankey stood up at SEC Media Days in Tampa this week and said an SEC breakaway from the NCAA is real. Then, days later, turned right around and told a different reporter it’s not actually a priority. Make up your damn mind, Greg. Because if it’s actually on the table, I’ve got two words...

Preseason 2026 college football hot takes are supposed to play it safe, pick the 4 teams everybody already has in their top 5, name a Heisman favorite the whole country already knows, call it a day and move on, and I’m not doing any of that. Here are 5 things I actually believe are going...

So I’m sitting there watching Canada hang six on Qatar yesterday and somewhere around the second red card, when Qatar’s down to nine guys defending a World Cup match with two fewer humans than everybody else on the grass, all I could think was damn, that sucks, and then about four seconds later the better...

Curt Cignetti walked into his first Indiana press conference and told a room full of people who barely cared about Indiana football that he wins. “Google me.” The Hoosiers had gone 9-27 in the three years before he got there. They were the first program in FBS history to reach 700 losses. Two years after...

Four of the five coaches on this list are still employed because their schools can’t afford to fire them right now. That’s what the college football hot seat 2026 actually is: programs trapped by their own contracts, counting down to the year the buyout gets cheap enough to pull the trigger. The obvious name is...

FIFA just tripled the price of a World Cup final ticket to $32,970, for a tournament they promised would top out at $1,550, and Donald Trump told the press he wouldn’t pay $1,000 to watch a group stage match at the same tournament he spent two years championing. WWE cut nearly 30 wrestlers two days...

College football is in the middle of the best stretch of its modern era, and I think it might be quietly building toward something genuinely ugly. The playoff expanded. The ratings are enormous. The talent on college fields is as good as it has ever been. But there is a difference between a sport that...

The NCAA is about to add eight more teams to March Madness and the only people who asked for it were the people who already have the most. That is the whole story. Everything else is marketing. The basketball tournament goes from 68 to 76 teams, likely starting next season, and the CFP is somewhere...

Ohio State just put four players in the top 11 picks of the 2026 NFL Draft. Carnell Tate went fourth overall to the Titans. Arvell Reese fifth to the Giants. Sonny Styles seventh to the Commanders. Caleb Downs eleventh to the Cowboys. Back-to-back years. Four first-round picks each time. The Ohio State NFL factory is...

The SEC has won one national title in the last three years, and Mississippi just rewrote its tax code over it. That’s where we are right now. House Bill 4014 passed the Mississippi House 76 to 32. If it clears the Senate and lands on the governor’s desk, college athletes in Mississippi will pay zero...

The CFP committee has a mystery criteria is killing marquee nonconference games, and USC–Notre Dame is just the start. Fans deserve real answers, not vibes. If you’ve been feeling like college football is slowly turning into “schedule safe, pray later,” you’re not crazy. The College Football Playoff committee has created a world where the smartest...

College Football Playoff expansion is the dumbest conversation in the sport right now. The Big Ten wants 24 teams, the SEC wants 16, and somehow we’re all supposed to act like this is what’s holding the game back. It’s not. It’s just the cleanest way for the people at the top to squeeze more money...

I am not doing a long warm up. We are going straight to the picks for the CFP Semifinals. I have Ole Miss over Miami. I have Indiana over Oregon. I will tell you the one way each pick can break, so you can argue with me like an adult in the comments. If you...

As I am sure you have heard, Stranger Things ended on New Years Eve. The finale was met with a wide range of opinions. Some people loved it, others hated it. I am of the opinion that the finale was mid. Really though the internet is trying to convince the world that tonight January 7th...
