We’ve reached November, when the weather gets cooler and the stakes become clearer. Only four weeks remain to determine who gets a shot at the national championship, who’s stuck playing for bowl swag bags, and who’s going to be sitting at home in December. The Group of Five playoff spot is still wide open, and a few surprise teams are at the top of the … Continue reading College Football 2025 Week 11 Preview: Live With the Bounce
Now, over two months into the season, we know a few things for sure. Vanderbilt and Indiana are better CFB candidates than Texas, LSU, and Penn State, being a fired college coach is the easiest way to get rich these days, and conferences are way too big for their own good (looking at you, Big Ten). The top ten teams mostly get tune-up games this … Continue reading College Football Week 10 Preview: Not Just a Fluke
The more things change, the more they stay the same. The SEC still has half of the top five, the Big 12 keeps beating each other, and Ohio State is still dominating. Despite the old guard on top, a few new faces have taken advantage of 2025’s chaos – namely the historically irrelevant Indiana and Vanderbilt, as well as the eternal 8-win Texas A&M. Can … Continue reading College Football 2025 Week 9 Preview: Contender or Pretender?
Well that was certainly an eventful few days. Indiana may just be a legitimate national title contender, Texas Tech seemingly has a stranglehold on the Big 12, and a whole gaggle of head coaches are now out of a job. We’re now officially in the second half of the season and still have plenty of questions to answer. The race to the top of the … Continue reading College Football 2025 Week 8 Preview: No Turning Back Now
Are you not entertained? The top 2 preseason teams are now unranked, Georgia Tech has an inside track to the ACC championship game, and no one knows if any draft eligible quarterbacks are actually any good. We’ve got 2 ranked-on-ranked matchups in the Big Ten this week, as well as several chances for the Big 12 to establish some sort of pecking order. We’re already … Continue reading College Football 2025 Week 7 Preview: Inertia Up and Down
Week 5 Recap Week 5 was full of surprises, comebacks, and unexpectedly close outcomes, plus a few narrative-validating games for good measure. Georgia still has an Alabama problem, Penn State still has a Top 10 problem, and Lincoln Riley’s USC is still as frustrating as ever. A pair of ranked-on-ranked matchups in the ACC and SEC await us in Week 6, while a good chunk … Continue reading College Football 2025 Week 6 Preview: Keep up the Momentum
Week 4 Recap We had a couple of close, competitive games last week, as well as a few that were substantially more one-sided than both Vegas and I thought. Indiana may just be the real deal, Texas Tech is possibly the best team in the Big 12, and Luke Fickell will likely be relieved of duty soon enough. An absolutely stacked slate of games awaits … Continue reading College Football 2025 Week 5 Preview: Mono e Mono
Week 3 Recap Well, that was certainly fun! Clemson and Notre Dame are officially on playoff life support, Tennessee still can’t get over the Georgia hurdle, and maybe it’s about time we actually start taking Vanderbilt seriously. We’ve got some hefty ranked-on-ranked matchups this week from a few unlikely contenders, so let’s close this first month of the season with something special. Top 25 Matchups … Continue reading College Football 2025 Week 4 Preview: Sorting Out the Pecking Order
Week 2 Recap Compared to Week 1, Week 2 was a bit lighter on the drama, but there was still some fun to be had. We’ve got a few high-profile matchups this week in the SEC and ACC, as teams struggle to get a leg up in early conference action. It only gets crazier from here, and the only way to learn just how much … Continue reading College Football 2025 Week Three Preview: Starting to Ramp Up
Week 1 Recap Well that was certainly a fun start. Alabama suddenly looks very average, Arch Manning decided to emulate 2019 Eli, and Miami wasn’t disappointing for once. Clemson, Alabama, Texas, and Notre Dame now have to play catch-up while teams like Ohio State can coast through the rest of the non-conference schedule. Week 2 has substantially less flash in comparison to Week 1, but … Continue reading College Football 2025 Week Two Preview: Settling into a Rhythm
